Chick'nCone is a super unique style of food to North County San Diego. The restaurant is in a food court type of building with a few other restaurants nearby making it a great one stop place to go with friends. The chicken was warm and crunchy and came with a variety of sauces from as mild as maple syrup up to the spicy peri peri pepper sauce. The cone itself was a cute pink color and tasted so good dipped in the maple syrup. The fries were seasoned with a Cajun seasoning and both crispy on the outside yet warm and soft inside. The corn was crunchy but could have used a bit more seasoning. The Mac and cheese was ooey gooey, warm and topped with a Cajun seasoning that added a nice spice to the flavor. Vishal was so attentive to us throughout the meal making sure everything was up to our quality. Great place for a bite to eat and to support an up and coming business in our community.

My wife and I have been here a couple of times before and they are always good. The added a new sauce (Honey Fire) and also a mint chocolate milk shake. Everything was pretty on point and we will be back!

ABSOLUTELY SO CLUCKING GOOD IS RIGHT! First off, to get it out of the way, this is located in a mini food court. While the food court reminded me of how dirty, sticky, nasty 90s food courts in malls used to be, this review is solely for Chik'nCone. The food court itself is kept so dirty and seriously deserves 0 stars. Anywho... back to the deliciousness that is Chik'nCone! At first I was skeptical because my first impression was that their main offering was just throwing chicken nuggets into a waffle cone. It's WAY WAY better than that. They give you the option to get those nuggets tossed in sauce or just have the sauce on the side to dip. They have an excellent selection of sauces, I tried the cinna-maple and the kickin ranch. The cinna-maple was incredible and the pairing made for a fresh juicy chicken and waffle flavor. The kickin ranch was the perfect amount of spicy to get my tongue burning without breaking a sweat. It took about 10 minutes to receive the order, but the wait was oh so worth it as the chicken was perfectly fresh. If you plan getting the chicken tossed in sauce, I recommend eating it there right away as I'm sure the chicken may get soggy the longer it's soaking in the sauce. The waffle cone also had that fresh crunch to it and it's thick enough that it won't crumble as soon as you take a bite. I will for sure be coming back to try the other sauces, chicken sandwich and definitely a shake. They have a great daily specials Mon - Thurs!

I never write reviews but the young man who worked here yesterday evening (Monday) was literally the kindest, most helpful employee I think I've ever encountered, and he deserves a review. If I owned a business I'd swoop this guy up and pay him super well. He was the best part of this place, and the food is really good, but I can't get over how great this guy was.I love chicken and waffles so this is just the best combo, even though it's a little messy. The sauces are really good and the chicken is cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this place, and give that guy a raise for the love of God!

Budget cuts have definitely hit this place. I could have bought better tasting chicken strips literally from Walmart. These were the same generic chicken strips I can buy from the grocery store. Then they cut up those generic chicken strips, sliced them and served them as chicken nuggets. This was complete false advertising from the pictures even shown on their menu at the actual restaurant. Good concept but horrible execution at this location.

Wow! What an idea ... a chicken and waffle ready to go in just a few minutes. Saw this on Tik Toc .... Was on my way ... stopped by. Amazing staff .... Easy walk up counter and right across from the Regal Theater!! They actually give you 10-% off if you bring in your movie ticket. That's a Yay!! The Big Yay??!! The amazing chicken in your waffle cone. I chose the "Kickin Ranch" (a Ranch Dressing and Sirachi combo) - Totally TUM!!

My friend invited me to this fast food joint and I thought that the concept was pretty cool. I liked that they had a lot of different flavors for the sauces, so of course I got the peri peri since that was the spicy one! The wait was really long to get our order and they got part of it wrong, but it was no big deal since it was their soft opening and they were learning from this experience. The fries were yummy and shake was not bad. The chicken was soggy from the sauce and the cone was thin and wasn't crunchy. However, I did enjoy the spicy peri peri sauce! Good thing they have tender and sandwiches, so I might try one of those items instead.

First time here at Chick'n Cone and it won't be my last. The chicken is so tender and the cone very savory. The creamy Mac cheese is so good, too
First time here and loved it! You can't go wrong with any of the sauces. Cinna-Maple for that traditional chicken and waffle vibe and the KicknRanch were my favorites though. Can't wait to go back and bring my friends

Tried this new North County spot for lunch on a Wednesday. Tip: sign up for their specials because they offer a lot of great coupons! I purchased a Chicken Cone and got a shake for free! The restaurant is in the same food court as Rubios and Cold Stone. Parking was easy. Service was fantastic and everyone was really nice. They even shared with me how to eat my chicken at home to have the best experience! I ordered: The original chicken cone -- the chicken was delicious and the cone was crispy. I got two sauces; maple (very good) and their ranch, which is one of their most popular (it was good, but way too spicy for me), I'd personally get BBQ or cheese sauce next time. Chocolate shake -- it was great and looked beautiful! Unfortunately I took too long to drink it (my fault) so the cone pieces got soggy. This is definitely a unique concept and is a fun place to try!

Ordered through DoorDash. Fries were missing from the meal. The sandwich was tasteless and the bun was hard. Would never order here again. Very overpriced food, and it didn't taste good.

Great food and amazing customer service! If you’re looking for something coo to try this is definitely a spot that is great to bring the family. The chicken is cooked perfectly to match the flavor. The waffle added a sensational taste that will have you reminiscent of the Del Mar Fairgrounds. If you go to the movies, this is highly recommended.

The food, presentation, and energy is so good. Vishal is an awesome guy. We had the bbq, yella bbq, and buffalo blue chicken cone. waffle flake shake was delicious
