"Crispy wings with no bad pieces. Boneless are a little small for how much it is but still good taste. "
"Our food was not only poorly made but it was incredibly overpriced for what we received. We asked for the 20 Wings to be cooked extra crispy and they were just rubbery skin and slimy Hawaiian sauce. Just gross. We ordered a large side of carrots and celery and got 3 thick carrot chunks and 3 pieces of celery for almost $7. Maybe it was just the worst employees working that night but we'll never order from here again."

Rave Reviews
"We ordered a single Sizzle Burger and a double sizzle burger. We also ordered Bacon Cheese Fries and a mocha Iced Coffee. Both burgers were very tasty and pretty large. The Bacon Cheese Fries were good, but they were very squished in the container, so it was awkward to eat them. We would definitely try sizzle burger again, maybe next time we will try breakfast."
"This has to be one of the best burgers I've had in San Diego. They also have "animal style" type fries that blow In n out, out of the water- the fries are actually tasty (the fries at in n out are terrible), they load the toppings on. Simply fresh and delicious. I regularly drive 10 miles out of my way just for this. 10/10"

"They are consistent with paying attention to my modification requests (no onions), which is very appreciated. This time the fries were even still super hot :D"
"I ordered a Egg McMuffin® Meal but received a sausage McMuffin meal. I ordered ketchup and received no ketchup. My favorite breakfast item from McDonald is their orange juice however this one was as if they were out, so they put a little in the cup and added water. It was horrible! The side of bacon was two small pieces of a piece of bacon not even a whole piece. So disappointing!"

Thank you doughnut Bros you guys rock 😊"
"The Breakfast Sandwich is huge and easily shared, and not to forget Amazing! Also served with a small side of sriracha. Donuts are good, my only wish is that you could pick the exact donut you want on Door Dash. Cake Donuts don't specify vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate. So I wanted a strawberry but got vanilla. Maple bars are our favorite ordered two Bars just to make sure we got atleast one maple. Definitely my new favorite Breakfast Sandwich place!!! "
