Pricy but what I got tasted good (hot tender with a slider w the fries). Not the best, not the worst. I like that their signature sauce comes in a big packet, neat.

Went to try the cauliflower sliders , they were so good!! Great option for vegetarians. I'm not a fan of crinkle cut fries, but theirs are the best I've ever had. A little pricey for fast food, but what isn't nowadays?Definitely going back! I love that you can choose the spice level, anywhere from zero to 10. Parking at this location during lunch was a hassle. Might want to park at Home Depot and walk over.Vegetarian options: Cauliflower is breaded and deep fried? Air baked? Don't know which. Wasn't greasy and was delicious perfection.

This place has great food. The service is great. The parking can be tricky sometimes but the food is worth it.Parking: The parking lot is small and a little hard to get around. A bigger section of parking is available a little further out but it’s shared with in n out and the Hampton inn.

I've never been on the Dave's Hot Chicken obsession train but I decided to study at this place just to try something different. There are positives and negatives about this place which I will list below.Positives:The service is good! The employees were all friendly and my food came out fairly quickly. They also gave me more than enough sauce. However, it was also pretty dead when I ordered. The restaurant is in a good location and I didn't have much trouble finding parking.The chicken was fantastic! I got the second spiciest and third spiciest options and they were delicious. The fries were also decent albeit being slightly under-seasoned and the Dave's sauce was great.Negatives:There is FAR less seating than there needs to be. I truly don't know what they were thinking when they put only a few tables into a restaurant this large, especially one that gets extremely busy. And it can get EXTREMELY busy, as it did right after I ordered my food and sat down. I was very lucky to have gotten a seat. The dining room here is huge; they could probably double the amount of seating and there would still be enough space to move around.I've never understood the plain, unseasoned piece of white bread that they include with the chicken (obviously this isn't this location's fault). I guess the point is you can make a sandwich, but I feel like it's just a cop-out to avoid including good sandwich bread. I didn't eat it.Overall this place is decent, and I definitely prefer it to the Pacific Beach location due to the ease of parking. But I don't know if I would return due to the uncertainty of seating unless I'm getting takeout. The price isn't super heinous, as I've seen chicken tenders go for way more (and these include fries and are quite large and nicely seasoned) but they should probably fix the issues they have. Obviously the white bread thing won't be fixed but PLEASE put more seating into this gigantic restaurant.
