I frequent Costco for the necessities and for fun! I was excited to try the new mint sundae. I got a vanilla & mint swirl with the toppings - chocolate sauce and cookie crumbles. Next time, I'll get full mint for a stronger flavor. Bonus if you get the mini chocolate chip cookies from their bakery inside. SO PERFECT together. The service is as fast as can be, and the employees are always working so hard for their customers. So appreciated!! read more

Parking - rough Ordering whole pizzas a head of time - Pro Move 1 Waiting an extra 20 minute after the pizzas are supposed to be ready - expected for next time So here is the process. Call the number. Order ahead (e.g., 4 pepperoni and 3 cheese pizzas for 12:20). Pro Move 2, ask them to double cut if the party is for kids as the slices are big, sometimes they cannot do it if it is busy. Search for parking. Pay for all of the pizzas at the payment kiosk (requires you scan you Cost Co card). Go to the side window to let them know you are there. Wait. Pro Move 3, find an empty cart if you are getting a bunch of pizza. Wait. Wait some more. Then get the pizzas, put them in the cart and go off to your party a hero. We ended up with two more pizzas than we needed, but each pizza is like $10 so better not to run out. read more

Always crowded but always tasty and consistent food (the chicken bakes have shrunk a bit but still just as good). They always get through the lines quickly and the food is always fresh and hot. Costco Food Court has options whether you want lunch, dinner, a snack, or something a little sweet. A great place to grab something quick and tasty. read more

Ordered a whole pepperoni pizza and chicken bake at the 12155 Tech center Dr. location a little after 4pm. I expected to wait a little while for the food so I ran inside to grab a couple things; I walked out around 4:30 and asked the dude at the side window if my food was ready and gave him my receipt. He told me that my food was not ready yet and that he only does "first come first serve" so I said ok cool. I'll just go drop off my things in my car and come right back. No more than 5 mins later I came back. Dude tells me my pizza is still not ready so I say alright cool and not even 30 seconds go by and the next few people after me watched him handout a whole pepperoni pizza to the next guy and tells me it's my fault I didn't grab my pizza 20 minutes ago when I first ordered it. And to top it off when I opened my pizza. It was fucking smashed. The food court service here is absolutely awful. I recommend everyone check their food before leaving this location. read more

Food court is such a fast and efficient system they got going on. Self kiosks can be used instead of lining up at the window. Tip #1: Call in whole pizzas ahead of time! You will pay for the whole pizza on the kiosk and select the option along the lines of "called in order". Whole pizza pick up is at the window closest to the street. Tip #2: If you do not want to stick your sauce condiments on your hotdog, you can request sauce containers cups at the window Pricing is still cheap and worth coming to. The hot dog and drink is still my favorite price. The drinks do not come with a straw, as the new lids do not require a straw. read more

I had been going to the Cost Food Court on Tech Center Dr. for many years, and aside from the changes to food purchase methods, everything has been fine. However, I recently phoned in an order for a pizza and was informed by the person there that I had to order more than one slice. I replied, unsure of her reply, that I was hoping to order one WHOLE pizza. She replied, a bit testy that there policy has changed and that I now need to order more than four SLICES over the phone. I paused to take what she said, and it occurred to me that she was saying SLICES when she met WHOLE pizzas. Anyway, I asked the question again and indicated WHOLE pizzas, right? She said, yes, and then said, "is that it!" Before I could reply something like "thanks" she hung up on me! I waited and called back again, got her again, and requested that I talk to a manager. She said that her supervisor was there. When the supervisor got on the phone with me, she began trying to justify her employee. The tone wasn't good from either person, enough for me to decide that I will not be back to that particular Food Court. This overall experience was so opposite of all of my experiences with Costco employees who work at the store. Just bizarre that I ran into two that had a serious "no apology" attitude, and would not at least say....yeah, I met (or she met) to say whole pizza. For me, I was just merely looking for clarification of a new policy and what I got was "attitude." read more

Always the best place to stop for a slice of pizza and a cookie on the way home. I love the fact that you can order at the kiosk and your order is ready within minutes. I miss the salads but hopefully they will be back soon. It's always a slice of pepperoni, a chicken bake, and a hot dog and soda for the family and maybe a frozen yogurt or a cookie or two for later read more

Hey Derick at the food court: Stop making people feel bad for asking you for cheese and peppers. And when I say that I appreciate you, don't give me a sarcastic "yeah". I get it, you guys are busy and we're just trying to be friendly. read more

CFC is always a five star value but this location leaves a lot to be desired. First off, what's up with the ass-to-ass seating for their tables? Who thought that was a good idea? Yes, it's a small dining area and maybe they were able to squeeze in a few extra tables but it's kinda awkward getting to a middle seat. But the food just wasn't on par with other Costcos. The combo pizza disappointed because it just seemed cheaper. The crust for sure was pretty flimsy and maybe the sauce was thinner? The hot turkey sandwich was also not as generous as San Marcos. Usually Costco is very standardized... - No ordering kiosk - Crappy straws read more

Always a good place to eat cheap and quickly, unless General Atomics gets out lol. At times it can seem like a madhouse with standing room only... Same rock bottom Costco price and excellent service. You can never go wrong with a reasonable meal and high quality you can taste. From their fresh made churros or pizzas and now their chili bowls! It's always a win-win. I'll be back for sure. read more

Who doesn't love the Costco food court. $1.50 for a hot dog and soda or $1.99 for a slice of pizza. They use to take only cash, but now you can use credit or debit cards. You can call ahead to order your pizza. 1 (858) 848-2455 Parking is shared. There are lots of spaces. If you can't find one park towards Home Depot. The way into Costco is not steep so it's low car friendly. Food here is good. You can't beat the price for what you get. The food is better than you expect. I just wish this place was open later for those with late night cravings. The Poway food court has a different menu than the Clairemont or Mission valley Costco. I believe it's the same as the Carmel Mt. Costco though. If I'm here shopping at Costco I usually make a stop at the food court. read more

Cheapest deals in town. You get what you get, and no one throws a fit. My husband downs about 5 hotdogs at a time when we go. And the free refills , they're an added bonus. 10/10 will always come here again. It's like a little reward. read more

What is not to love!?! I've eaten good and healthy all week. Now... I can eat a nice slice of pizza for about $1.50, or a hotdog and soda for about the same. Ohhhh and the berry Sunday, it's loaded with protein and calcium. My trick is to eat before I go inside. This way I can spy all the carts of the shoppers, see what they thought was a good deal. And I can fill my tummy and not eat extra calories that the lovely sample folks always seems to have. I've also been known to order lunch or dinner for my staff here. At 9.99 for a whole pizza it's a great deal. But be cool, all ahead and be nice to your employees and have the kitchen cut it into squares. That way the calorie counters will still be able to find a smaller slice, they'll thank you for it :) read more

There's relatively little difference among Costco Food Courts, but this is one of my favorites. It is rarely very busy, and getting a table is easier. Service is great, as are my "go to" lunches -- either pepperoni pizza or the hot dog with soda. You still order at the counter here -- no ordering kiosk -- and soda fountains haven't been converted to touch-less. Easy parking. read more

Can't beat the prices at the Costco food court! Father's Day lunch was a hit with food court pizza! I was crunched for time and needed to get something fast and quick for today. I called in my order the day before for pick up today. I got two large pizzas a pepperoni and supreme. Pick up time 10:30am on a Sunday. There was a little line with only one cashier working but they had my order ready. I just paid and left the easiest transaction. And I only paid $21 for two larges! The pizza is really good here you can never go wrong with Costco food court pizza. I even had time to run to get gas and cereal. One stop shopping! read more

Costco Food Court - Large supreme - Food Court Near Me - Poway, California

It had been awhile since I've visited this location. It used to be my favorite some time ago. We recently came today to buy a few things. I visited the food court afterwards to pick up some food to go. The line was massive. They have yellow lanes for customers to follow. Funny. They have FOUR order stations with credit card/debit card capability. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to carry my order back to my car with my two hands. The super nice guy who helped me was so kind and amazing. He hinted that customers could be kinda unhappy during rush time so he appreciated when customers smile. I ordered: 2 hotdogs: - did you know you can ask for sauerkraut ! Friend wanted some but unfortunately they were out. The hot dog comes with a drink. You don't have a choice on the drink so don't bother asking for a discount on the dog if you don't get a drink (not judging as I wanted to ask a few times). Instead, I think this is my specific trick, use the drink cup and fill it up with condiments (onions and relish) to use on the dogs when you take to go. Chicken bake: - kinda dry but the filling/sauce is not bad Slice of combo pizza: - trick here is to LOOK AT THE DISPLAY case and see what pizzas are piping hot. Then order a slice of that one. The slice is large and nicely priced at $1.99. I like the crust as it's doughy and fluffy. All the items are wrapped in aluminum. The nice guy put my items in a box and also asked if I needed condiment containers. Say what. I used to struggle to put onions/relish on the dumb hot dog, re wrap, and then have a mess when I ate it. Condiment containers woulda helped IF someone had told me about them! So thank you kind sir. That guy alone deserves 5 stars. The food was fine and nostalgic when you haven't had it for awhile. This is a nice food court location that's worth a visit if you're nearby. read more

I stopped by Costco's Food Court to eat one of their terrific beef hot dogs before entering the Costco itself to help refrain from making extra purchases on a empty stomach. The all beef hot dog and the drink did the trick for only $1.50. I added onions, relish, and deli mustard to the hot dog. I love a hot dog where the tub steak clearly hangs out of both sides of the bun as this one did. The hot dog had a great quality beef flavor and I loved that it came piping hot. The bun was warm and moist and I had to commend the onions slicing machine because it did a pretty good job chopping up those onions. I love that they now offer deli mustard rather than just simple mustard. I did not put ketchup on my hot dog because that is not the way I roll. Let's keep the ketchup on burgers. Anyways, the deli mustard was standard but tasted very good with the hot dog. If you are grocery shopping at Costco, grab a bite here before heading in. read more

News Flash: this Costco Food Court now accepts some cards. No longer 'Cash Only', there is a card reader & keypad, like the ones at the checkout registers inside. They only take ATM debit, AMEX, and Costco cash cards. I am not certain if/when Visa, MC, Discover, PayPal, Diner's Club, Player's Club, Bit Coin, or EBT will be added later, or if it will remain restricted to the former list. It's a nice convenience for some of us who no longer need to request cash back after shopping. Other notables: it's an outdoor food court and the tables are mostly shaded throughout the morning and early afternoon. read more

chicken Caesar salad was horrible. mostly romaine, as expected, but i didnt expect blood specked under cooked chicken! the dressing tasted horrible, very bland dressing! will never order that again read more

What is there not to love about Costco Food Court? I practically grew up on the food here! From the Combo Pizza, Chicken Bake, Cesar Salad, $1.50 Beef or Polish Hot Dog to the newly introduced BBQ Beef Brisket Sandwich, Al Pastor Salad and Açaí Bowls, Costco offers great cooked food for people like myself to visit on days I am completely out of dinner ideas. Costco also understands how to keep prices low, low, low to keep loyal customers coming. Keep up the great work, Costco Food Court! I look forward to eating more of your hot dogs and seeing what new items you bring on the menu. Also, thank you for letting us know that your romaine lettuce is from Salinas, CA and not part of the E. coli outbreak! read more

New self-serve prepayment system substantially reduces wait time. Excellent hotdogs, (although no more raw onions). Great Caesar/chicken salads and chicken sandwich's at Costco value pricing. read more

Costco food court is always great minus the fact that they switched from Coke to Pepsi!! Coke lovers unite! Please switch back. Best deal ever, polish dog with a soda for $1.50. Huge slice of pizza, sure! Grab dessert while you're at it too! Funny thing is that no one can ever seem to fall in line correctly. It's a snake line, not that hard. Sure enough, it always comes to a point of failure after a couple people if people even tried. C'mon, it's not that hard. It's marked on the ground. As always, Costco, great for a snack whether you're hungry or not. Great for kids with all the ice cream and churros. Great for people trying to save money. Can't beat getting a full meal for less than $5. read more

Best pizza ever. Maybe a bit too much oil though. Also they removed the churro and added cookies instead. BRING BACK THE CHURRO

Another awesome Costco food experience! What I like best about this place is that it's enclosed when the weather is crap! Same great Costco priced foods and selection, but the seating area has these roll-up doors they leave down when it's raining/cold.. unlike the other "open air" type Costco's, you can sit here and eat without getting cold or wet. The food is the same good value, people still can't stand within the yellow lines (I've yet to be at a Costco where all the people would stand in the yellow zigzag line) but if you want good, cheap grub in a comfortable place to eat it - it's here! read more

Ample seating outside and they are usually good about keeping it clean. Not to mention this location is typically not that busy so you aren't waiting in line 20 minutes for a hot dog. They also empty the trash and keep the condiments stocked. At the end of the day it's a great place for a $1.50 hot dog or a giant slice of pizza. I personally prefer a polish with sauerkraut. I have no complaints about this location! read more

I recently was in the area of Costco/Poway Location. So, I decided to stop by and have one of their famous hot dog/soda. The Hotdog/Soda is still $1.50 (which is still amazing). However, Due to COVID-19 Pandemic, The seating area, No Longer Available! (those benches are completely removed). Also, The Mustard/Ketchup/Onion Self-Serve Station, No Longer Available. *Now, You receive a "Small Mustard/Ketchup Packet" for the additional condiments. However, Still No Onions that are available. *Your Soda is NOW being filled by an Costco Food Court Employee. Overall, The Hotdog/Soda was still pretty good, Despite the COVID-19 Pandemic Restrictions and Of Course, The $1.50 price is Still Awesome!! read more

Costco's pizza is only cheese and pepperoni now. BAD greasy pizza.

Food is always great and the staff is so nice there. Never had any issues with my order.

Good tasting food, great service, great quality and fast! Awesome place to get a quick bite to eat Hot Dog Pepperoni Pizza

I always assumed that the reason that Costco insists that you show your membership card when you enter was to keep non-members from using the food court. Selling foot-long hot dogs with a drink for $1.50 can't be profitable right? Then I visit this Costco and see that the food court is on the outside. So much for that theory. That would be miserable most of the time in Florida but it works here. You're obviously not going to stop here for the ambiance but the dirt-cheap grub makes up for it. A berry sundae for $1.65? Three scoops of gelato in a waffle cone for $1.50? Ridiculous! I do like their pizza but it is quite greasy so I don't get it often. The hot turkey and provolone sandwich is usually my go to. It's nice having this as a lunch option before my wallet gets destroyed when I go into Costco. read more

For a buck 50 and the fast food quality, this is an easy 5 stars for me. A hot dog and a drink? Even when the line appears long, the wait isn't more than 5 min. Most of the food comes out fresh cause they turn people out like it was a revolving door. Be careful here during busy weekend times cause you wont find a seat. People take longer to eat than they do waiting in line. Go Costco!!! read more

It's a food court. Sometimes the line is really long. I think Costco attracts really stupid yuppies. Why oh WHY can people not follow the yellow lines and line up within the lines?!?! It is NOT rocket science. Sometimes the employees have to tell people to line up in the food court lines and follow it. Ugh. Drives me crazy. Polish dogs and soda still a steal at 1.50 plus tax. Buns are free of eggs/nuts/dairy!!! Pizza is also inexpensive but somewhat greasy. I like the chicken bakes.

Costco Food Court - Typical Costco fare - Food Court Near Me - Poway, California

Food is great, service is good and ambience is what you would expect eating outside of a Costco.

Ok so they don't have a big selection of stuff, but the prices are really good. You can get a hot dog and a drink for $1.50 or a triple scoop waffle cone for $1.50. I don't see how they keep the prices so low. A big slice of pizza (almost a quarter of a pizza) for $2.00. You need to recharge after walking that huge warehouse and dodging all of the "samplers". People who wait for a bite sized sample of food and will run you down to get that bite of food. Look out, that's my foot you just ran over! By the way, they don't take debit or credit cards at the food court. You need to pay cash only. read more

Costco food courts served pretty decent fast food type fare with big portions and insanely low prices.
