This review is for the Big Pecker. I love the Big Pecker. I've ordered it twice now and I have been very impressed each time. I considered the Little Pecker, but when given the option, why choose a Little Pecker when you can have a Big Pecker.
The Big Pecker is huge. I don't think I've come across a meal as big as the Big Pecker at a price this reasonable. The meat is thick and filling and there was enough Big Pecker to leave us all satisfied. So far I have tried thr honey butter toss and the sweet heat toss. Both are quite tasty but I think I prefer the sweet heat toss. I also have to give a special shout out to the french fries included with the Big Pecker. French fries don't always travel well, but these do. I don't know what the secret is, but it makes the Big Pecker that much more satisfying. The biscuits are also absolutely amazing.
To summarize, I really enjoyed the Big Pecker if you were on the fence I think you should give the Big Pecker a try. I know I will be going back for more.

The Crack Shack was the bomb before Covid happened. Everything was delicious and tasty. Previously, the chicken tenders were crispy outside and juicy inside. Now it's just bland and hardly has any crunchy texture. You have to have some sauce to dunk it in to have some meaningful flavor. It's sad to see how the quality has gone down. I would say that Chik-fil-A has better tasting chicken tenders than these. Also the fries were bland as well, very oily and unevenly seasoned. The Chicken Oysters had good flavor but I only got 5 whole pieces for $9; not worth the price. Also the photo on the portion size on DoorDash is misleading; it looks like there's at least 8 to 10 pieces of chicken oysters but like I said I only got 5 pieces. To make matters worse, they forgot to include the miso butter with my Mini Biscuits! I won't be in a hurry to order from them again in the future. Overall my experience with The Crack Shack was very disappointing and mediocre.

Wow! This place is popular for a reason! Everything I ordered was excellent quality, well made, beautifully packed and absolutely delicious. The Coop Deville sandwich has a nice, thick, perfectly fried chicken breast topped with fresh, delicious cabbage slaw. Even though it's fried it still feels healthy when you eat it! The Hand Cut Fries (Regular) fries are also nice and thick, well seasoned and beautifully fried. The Mini Biscuits with miso-maple butter are absolutely delicious. I also ordered the Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie, which was heaven for a chocoholic like me and the Ari's Rice Krispie Treat, which was by far the best chocolate Rice Krispie treat I've ever eaten. I couldn't put it down. The portions are very generous. I will definitely order from here again! 100%!

INCREDIBLY kind and helpful staff. If everyone in San Diego is this great, I'm moving here. Food was fantastic as always - some of the best fries of any restaurant.

Portion was small and not much meat on tenders. Fries are very crispy/burnt and didn't love the spice on the tenders. I thought they were regular and they were spicy.
