This place is now called Golden Dragon. Had the 5 piece wings, chipotle flavor. Came with fries,…read morecarrots and celery. Wings came slathered with more sauce than I prefer- I prefer a dry flavor but didn't see it. Wings were good, fries were a bit oversalted but that happens just about everywhere I order fries. Fries were hot and crunchy on the outside, just the right fluffy on the inside. Carrots and celery were cold and crisp, I can't stand soggy. Woman behind the counter was quite friendly, helpful, and attentive. Display menu was bright, colorful, and not overcrowded. There are colorful pictures of their Chinese entrees posted on what used to be the buffet station which I thought was a nice touch. All in all, thumbs up. I'll be back to try their entrees. BTW while I wrote this review I mowed down the rest of the fries!

They changed the place , they have Chinese food now, which is probably good . But they do still…read moreserve buffalo fries and I think they should stop because they're not good. Chicken dry , fries aren't cooked all the way. The sauce isn't even covering the chicken . This was the spot now it's not, should've walked out when I seen it had changed tbh. I won't be going back for Buffalo fries. The service was cool . I might try the Chinese food but it's pricey so idk . Definitely was a waste of money .

DAVE'S HOT CHICKEN @ EL CAJON…read more Parking is available on the street, but it was extremely busy when my friend and I came on a Thursday afternoon. The restaurant is located in a busy complex with lots of stores, which definitely explains the crowd! Shoutout to the employee, BRENDA, she was incredible and so kind! When we walked in, there were only about 3-4 people ahead of us. We ordered two sliders with fries (drinks are not included), and the total came out to just $16. It was super delicious, especially to share with a friend. When our food came out, the chicken was steaming hot. You can choose from a variety of flavors, I got the hot, and my friend got medium. I loved how big the chicken pieces were and how tender they tasted. I also recommend trying their milkshakes or any of their drinks. I didn't get one this time, but I know that if you leave a positive review, you can get one for free! I would absolutely recommend stopping by this location. The vibe was great, the space was big, and the staff were genuinely friendly.

I was excited as I love the sweet nutty flavor of red snapper.  I watched as the fish fried.  Red snapper was coated in cornmeal batter and was crunchy on the outside.  Normally cornmeal batter has a slightly sweet and slightly salty flavor.  I didn't taste much from either the batter or the fish other than the fried batter flavor. Fries were very crunchy and dry.  Not overcooked but close. I added 5 shrimp to the order.  There was a ton of batter and some kind of hot sauce used to season the batter which hid the flavor of the shrimp.  I did not like the flavor so I gave the rest of the shrimp to Maggie who didn't like the flavor of the oil or the batter. Staff was nice.  Sadly my search for delicious fried red snapper continues.

This is now the only…read moreDickey's I can conveniently access since the only other ones in SD county are at Carmel mountain road and San Marcos. I like to use the app since there are deals and earn points and such. The BBQ is right about where it should be for a chain type establishment. The knock I have is when I do order through the app, the order is never ready when I arrive.. They are usually quick to react, but maybe they get a lot of no-shows for order pickups. The one thing I'll say is they are friendly to me every time and don't seem stressed out. Also, the ambiance is not bad with the country music and an old Ronald Reagan picture with Dickey himself on the wall.. The tables were clean too and nothing on the floor anywhere, which I like. Even the bathrooms are spotless when I've had to use them. The best thing for me here are pulled pork sandwiches, the westerner, and I do like the ribs. They use hickory in electric smokers which is the most versatile wood. Sauces could be better, I use original. The place always has a steady flow of customers, which is normally a good sign anywhere. They are definitely in my rotation for a quick, decent BBQ fix.

Today though... ugh. I didn't realize dining tonight meant I had eat strategically. 1st- it was hot & humid inside the restaurant; they opened both doors to let the elements in. I asked to keep a menu so I could fan myself. Yes, it was that hot. It was cooler outside than inside! 2. Remember the "elements" I mentioned? While having dinner, I was using the menu to fan myself AND STOP THE FLIES EATING OUR FOOD! and the mosquitoes were biting out as well. As I was sitting, I was swinging my legs to stop mosquitoes from biting my legs and my arms. My BF left the table to get away from being bit Needless to say we packed our food less than 10 minutes after we began eating. Now we're are eating the rest of our dinner comfortably at home. Next time I'll be prepared to dine-in. 1. Neck fan 2. Leggings and 3. Fly swatter. 4. Take-out

We had the 8 piece soy garlic wings and the 8 piece honey garlic wings. On the day of, I liked the soy garlic wings more flavor wise due to its more savory garlicky glaze. When we reheated the leftovers the next day, the honey garlic wings held up better because they didn't burn in the air fryer. For the kimchi fried rice, I feel like it would be more flavorful if it had spam or pork belly, instead of chicken. The fries were crispy. Overall, the wings are absolutely the reason to come here!

My wife had the hotdog covered in rice batter with panko deep fried! DING! They are all beef and large. I went for the #17 spicy chicken wings. SNAP! Outstanding! It's hard to find good wings but they have them. We will be back as they have a large selection of hotdogs and wings. If you're in El Cajon and want to try something different, this is the place, we highly recommend Katzya. YUM!

Upon looking at the menu, they have many different options to choose from; We opted for the potato cheese and sausage dog, the honey fries, and wings. We got our number and were told it would be 10 minutes. Once we got the food, she asked what toppings. We opted for spicy mayo and cheese sauce for the dogs. The food was hot and delicious, the wings perfectly crispy and Caramelized. The dog itself was somewhat of a disappointment because instead of sausage and cheese throughout, half the dog had cheese, and the other half had a tiny piece of sausage. The standout of the meal were the fries and wings! I was really hesitant about the fries because I never thought of putting honey on them, but they were incredibly flavorful and the perfect mix of sweet and savory. Overall this was a great experience and I would've preferred definitely go back to try the other dogs and get those wings and fries again.

(4.5/5) Tried Epic…read moreWings recently and honestly, it's one of the better wing spots I've been to in a while I ordered the classic buffalo wings with fries, and everything came out hot and fresh, which already puts them ahead of a lot of places. The wings were a really good size--not tiny--and cooked just right. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The buffalo sauce had a nice kick to it without being overwhelming, so you can actually enjoy the flavor instead of just burning your mouth off. The fries were also solid--crispy, well-seasoned, and not greasy. You can tell they actually care about how their food comes out, not just throwing stuff together. I also tried their ranch, and it was really good (definitely needed more though, they don't give a ton ). The service was quick and smooth. Staff seemed chill and didn't take long to get the order out, even though it was a bit busy when I went. The place itself had a relaxed, casual vibe--good for just hanging out or grabbing food with friends. Only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is because I wish the portion of sides/sauces was a little bigger, especially for the price. But overall, the quality of the food definitely makes up for it. If you're looking for a reliable wing spot with good flavor and consistent quality, Epic Wings is 100% worth checking out. I'll definitely be coming ba

Oxtails were tender, juicy, and full of smoky flavor.  I loved the flavor of the beef after being smoked for hours.  Great tasting oxtail. 2nd visit I ordered ala carte. Pork ribs were fall off the bone tender, juicy, and I loved the flavor.  I found out they use a mix of almond and red oak to get the smoky flavor without any bitterness. Chicken leg quarter had a ton of smoky flavor and there was a good amount of dry rub adding additional delicious flavor.  Chicken was tender and very good. So far the pork ribs and oxtails are my fav menu items here. 3rd visit I tried the beef ribs.  They were $10 each and I ordered 3 which was dinner size.  Beef was fall off the bone tender and full of smoky flavor.  These beef ribs are among my favorite in town. I found out they have 2 kinds of bbq sauce.  One is the Carolina style sauce with mustard and vinegar which I did not like.  I did like the regular one which had a little sweetness and a little smokiness.  You Chill We Grill Bbq is my favorite food truck.  Staff was very friendly and efficient.  There are a few tables and comfy chairs with a view of the freeway.  I tried to visit 2 other times but the parking lot was empty.  Best to call and find out what time they open before stopping by.  The menu changes a bit every week and sometimes the menu is posted on their instagram page.

I got the combo plate w the beef rib & chicken! There were two huge quarter pieces of Smoked Chicken it was fire! I was sad it only came with one beef rib but I got an extra side so I couldn't actually eat it all in one sitting! The beef rib had a little pink but it wasn't enough to say it wasn't done! The greens were really good not sure if it's turkey or pork but thats okay the Mac was good and so were the yams! I also had the banana pudding it was amazing! No brown bananas so it had to be fresh which is definitely a plus. I'll try the oxtails next time! They cater and beef ribs aren't only on a certain day which is dope! The main chef & owner was really nice and I Loved seeing him teach the younger guys in the crew! Come through!
