50 Best Chicken Wings in San Diego

“The food and service here never disappoint! Everything is always on point, and An, our waitress, is the sweetest, she really goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The soy garlic wings were incredibly delicious, packed with so much flavor that we couldn’t get enough. We always leave here happy and satisfied!“

“Carbon is easily one of the best restaurants in San Diego! My boyfriend and I had an amazing Valentine’s Day dinner there—great service, delicious drinks, and incredible food. I ordered the pistachio campanelle, which was an easy 11/10, and my boyfriend had the picanha steak—also 11/10! We shared a sangria, and to top it off, they surprised us with cannolis on the house. Our waitress, Michelle, was attentive and so much fun. Plus, if you’re sitting outside and get chilly, they even have blankets. We’re still talking about it. We’ll definitely be back with friends!“

“Tried the honeyjam chicken, Saigon style chicken, rose tteokbokki, and beef bulgogi fried rice. Every single dish was a 10. Perfectly balanced flavors and textures. Sounds like they'll be expanding their menu soon. Looking forward to that!“

“Pelicana Chicken was a great takeout option experience. I first visited this location and used the kiosk to decide on what to order. But my friend and I had a lot of questions, so we asked the staff a lot of them. She was very nice and explained the differences and gave her recommendations.

We decided to get the signature chicken with sauces on the side. We got the original and honey mustard. We also got an order of the corn cheese. It didn’t take long for us to get our order and leave. However, when we got home, we noticed the radish was missing.

Overall, the food was really great. The signature sauce was better than the honey mustard. The service was fast and quick. We went on a Saturday around 4:30 pm and it wasn’t very busy. But the plaza parking was crowded. They do accept American Express at the kiosk.“

“One of our favorite spots for Korean Fried Chicken! Always so crispy and freshly made. Juicy too! Customer service has not failed us so far and hopefully it never does. They have a good amount of flavors and options to try so don’t be shy!“

“The Best Ever Chinese Restaurant I Have Ever Been To. My Tita's Loved It So Mucho!!!! 5 star Rating“

“My favorite Nashville hot chicken sandwich and tenders!!!!!!“

“I got the strips and radish as the side. Order half spicy half garlic. OMG it was tasty 👅 AF. The price was a bargain compared to the quality and quantity of food I got. The hostess was 🔥🔥🤘. Great customer service.“

“For delivery, this place was awesome! Food was ready fast and delivered hot. We got 30 wings, 10 of each flavor, smokey BBQ, lemon pepper and Chipotle lime. We also got a side of onion rings and potato hush puppies. Everything was delicious and the price was up to par with quality.“

“Yummy food!!😋😋👍🏿👍🏿, excellent customer service. You can’t go wrong.“

“Have not been here on many years all looks great a grest food places.this one got my attention. And was as good as expected
Did not have to wait long great product and great pricing for the large amount of sweet potatoes fry with bacon...yum yum“

“Great food fast and yummy.“

“Great food, great service. Can't go wrong here.“

“The best fried chicken I have had since moving to Vegas. Everyone there was so inviting . If you haven’t experienced them yet , please give them a try . I usually don’t do reviews but this one was a must. Will definitely be back for more .“

“We have been HUGE a huge fan of a local crawfish restaurant for as long as they have been open, and have gone frequently over the years. Recently we have been looking to try some of the other crawfish places around. Not only did the Boxing Crab have flavorful sauces to choose from, top quality freshness, the best cooked crawfish we have had in a restaurant, (even better than our regular spot), and their service was wonderful! We now have a new GoTo! We will recommend them again and again!“

“Visiting my son before his deployment. The owner went out of his way to take care of us. I would highly recommend any military family to visit here. Food was very good too.“

“I grew up in the OC/LA area on the original Pioneer Chicken in the 80’s and 90’s, traveled all over and know my fried chicken. This spot was on point! Chicken was crispy and juicy. The hot sauce made it all the better. Drawn butter makes dressing your cornbread easy, it soaks in quickly, add some honey and let’s go!! Mashed potatoes were hearty, little on the dense side which isn’t a negative. Gravy was flavorful and savory. Price point was affordable. I got a 2 piece meal and drink for less than what most places charge for a burrito these days! I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Bf and I wanted to get a quick bite before our movie at the AMC started and was immediately greeted by Matilda with some of the best hospitality I’ve ever gotten at a burger place, let alone a mall location. Matilda was very sweet and would always check up on us while we dined in, offering to clear our table and asked if we needed any extra sauces, etc. pls give Matilda their flowers because they definitely deserve it!! That’s how you do customer service <3 May Matilda’s pillow always be cold on both sides haha“

“My favorite Nashville hot chicken sandwich and tenders!!!!!!“

“Great food fast and yummy.“

“Pete’s doesn’t disappoint. Great fast service, incredible flavor and cheap prices for the quality you get. Also, fishing tip… I ordered too much food and we had about half a coney dog left from my nephew (not sure how with how great they tasted but we ate too much) we used it for bait and instantly got hit when the whole group was skunked all day. Foodie approved, fish certified with regret after eating the deliciousness and being hooked.“

“The prices, food, and service are all great here. Their menu also had plenty of options for a group that included one vegetarian and one gluten-free individual. As an added bonus, the place is easy to get to and has plenty of parking available.

Vegetarian options: I had the jalapeño, zucchini, loroco, mushroom, and spinach pupusas, along with sides of yuca and plantain.

Dietary restrictions: There are plenty of pupusa options with vegetable fillings, and the masa is wheat-free. Vegetarians and gluten-free individuals should find plenty of options. Vegans might be limited to things like the yuca, curtido, and cheese-free pupusas.“

“I'm always going to come to wingstop for the best wings, but tonight, it just got better. Vincente was the man who took my order and man did I feel like I was part of the crew. He made sure to create perfection on my experience here and man did he do that.“

“Sauces were amazing! Everything was delicious 👍🏼 Very friendly staff with quick service“

“Great Selection of modern IPA’s“

“After trying all the Korean fried chicken in San Diego, this is one of the best. The size of the chicken is huge! Very flavorful with lots of meat for a great price.
The service here is also very good. Staff is attentive and friendly to customers.

Will definitely visit again!“

“Really good drink specials good atmosphere chill bar“

“Outstanding waitress . She was by herself and still managed to keep her cool. Definitely liking this place one thing, the. Chicago beef gravy is way too salty and you guys need to roast the green peppers . pizza was outstanding. Thank you.“

“The food was good. They got my turkey burger wrong two times. By the time I got it back the firs were cold. They ran out of Coke Zero. I was told once it runs out it’s out! lol“

“lunch first time very good“

“Best Chicken wings in San Diego!! #BillsMafiaApproved“

“I had my first Chef Budda experience this past Sunday and let me tell you, I'm EXCITED about going back! First off, the customer service was amazing! I felt like family the whole time. And the food was very on point!The wings were juicy and crispy, and very seasoned. I said seasoned, not salty. There IS a difference. Lol. The rice and gravy was soulful and seasoned to perfection, but that MAC AND CHEESE! It put me in a food coma! So cheesy and delicious. I'll definitely be going back again and again! I HIGHLY suggest everybody trying them out, but I also suggest getting there early cause them delicious sides run out fast!“

“Love the manager at this location, friendly to both staff and customers.

Parking: Strip mall, only 4 parking spots directly in front... I wish that they would post them for disabled, families and the elderly. Walking across traffic is hazardous for these groups of people.“

“My adult kids and I decided to check out Epic Wings in Carmel Mountain. We were so glad we did. The eatery is much bigger than the one in Mira Mesa. It was bright and clean, and the service was outstanding.

Even with the small menu, we couldn't decide what to get, so Ben, the cashier was very helpful with the meal details and suggested their new breaded salt and pepper wings, which we included in our 4 meal order. We were able to adjust the meals, one extra bread stick instead of the veggie sticks, or carrots only, all wings or all flats, and we were offered wet sauces even though our order was all dry rub. Having these options opened up a new taste to the typical chicken wings.

We ate at the restaurant. The tables, drinking station, womens bathroom, and atmosphere were clean. A worker who was sweeping the dining area greeted us as we enjoyed our hot and fresh chicken wing meals. It was a pleasant experience.

My daughter was weary about going to Epic Wings. She left satisfied. We will definitely come back to try other menu items.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly“

“From the outside, it’s unassuming and I had no idea it was a korean fried chicken place!! Apparently it’s the #1 rated korean fried chicken place in Japan.

I thoroughly enjoyed mine though the class mild sauce was a bit sweet. The other one we tried was the black aglio (black garlic and special soy). They have a lunch combo everyday which includes 3 pc boneless 3 piece wings, fried rice or steamed rice, and cole slaw, and a fountain drink for $15.95.

They also kindly gave our party free gyoza on the house which was really nice!“

“I had a good bacon cheese burger at this recently opened Juicy Burger near SDSU. I ordered the single original cheeseburger with added bacon and made it a combo with fries and a drink, which came amount with taxes to $14 and some change.

The burger was tasty and came with fresh ingredients. The burger came with a 1/4 oz patty, a slice of cheese, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, and a tasty thousand island dressing on a toasted brioche bun.

The beef patty was flavorful and lightly seasoned. The brioche bun was really good and held the burger well together, but it did need to be better toasted and warmer. The combo came with fries, which were of the thick variety. They came lightly seasoned and were good.

The service at the counter was very good. The young lady at the counter was welcoming and in good spirits. They offer a good amount of inside seating. Beer will be on tap soon. Free retail parking in the garage of the same building.“

“Love this place. I went in to pick up food for my ladies at cat&doggieworks and the wonderful lady at the counter gave me every courtesy and was very patient. Their food is great and so are they. I always order a horchata there because I don’t think I’ve had one better anywhere else.“

“Always my favorite chicken place to go to. ☺️“

“Had a great meal. The Zuppa De Pesce. Very nice staff and good food. I would recommend if your down in Little Italy San Diego.“

“We love everyone especially our servers. They are the bomb! Come check it out.“

“After reading multiple reviews for pizza in the area, we decided to try Bambino’s. I called on a Saturday evening about 5:45 for a medium Hawaiian. The grilled that answered the phone was brusque and businesslike, and took my order quickly and accurately. Not a lot of pleasantries, but she didn’t appear rude.

The neighborhood of the store was a little off putting. Bars on the home windows, and a junkie or two on the parking lot at the convenience store next door.

Inside of the shop appeared clean and smelled like good food. Cashier was again brusque, but that is okay because my pizza was handed out quickly and I was on my way.

Pizza was very, very good! Toppings were plentiful, crust was just the right amount of chew and crisp, and pizza was nice and hot! We very much enjoyed the entire pizza. The hope pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese packets were a welcome touch!“

“So they open epic wings at Dennery road. By Palm Ave. South Bay..They were not good at all like other locations I have visited like National city and Chula Vista..But today October 23 we bought some wings here at Dennery road and they totally turned around!!!. So good just like National city or Chula Vista. Thank you for getting better. A loyal customer♥️“

“The aroma sorta calls you in. It was a very welcoming atmosphere especially with the music playing. I knew it was in for some authentic Korean fried chicken. The menu displayed a host different flavors and heat levels. I chose the original spicy and their wings of fire, a sweet and spicy Asian BBQ. Everything met my expectations ???“

“The pizza and subs were excellent marinara off the hook garlic knots awesome will be eating there again 🙌🏻🍕🥖“

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!“

“pizza mexican , pizza five meat ,super sabrosas recomendada 🍕👍“

“Had the Margherita pizza today and it was delish! Coworker really enjoyed the Philly Cheese steak sandwich. The crust on my pizza was thin and cooked perfectly. Every bite was amazing! Everything was so good! Highly recommend!!“

“We're visiting, and the youngest wanted some boba!! The gentlemen running the restaurant was so sweet! The Boba, black mango tea, and oreo shake were so good! We also ordered mild buffalo chicken fries, lemon pepper fries, and sweet BBQ fries, and they were all delicious!!! I can't wait to visit again. We will be back!!!“

“everything está súper especial“

“I ordered the Chipotle fries and a Pacifico. Fries were good, beer was cold. Staff was very nice, even brought ranch to the table (all ordered fries) without being asked.

I would eat here 100x over any chain fast food burger spot.“
