    Greek Chicken Salad

    I stay door dashing the Greek chicken salad to work at least once a week. It always hits the spot. It's yummy and nutritious. Some days it's extra good. Tried to pull up one time and I was super confused on whether it was open or not? But it keeps getting delivered so the door dash drivers find it.

    Beef and Chicken Kebab Combo

    Just had a great meal delivered via DoorDash. I ordered the kabob combo - beef and chicken. The beef was super tender. Generous portion. Loved the flavor of the tzatziki. Really enjoyed it. Definitely the best DoorDash I've had. Travelled well! Probably even more delicious in person. Will absolutely be ordering from them again.

    Had a craving for a gyro sandwich, and believe it or not, I was cruising down El Cajon Blvd., when I saw a sign that said Greek and American Food. No kidding, I was flying off the seats of my pants. when I made a quick right and stopped here. When all the the dust had settled, I ordered a the gyro combo with fries and a drink for $6.45 The gyro sandwich tasted great and as you can see it came well stacked with gyro meat. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/elsas-kitchen-san-diego?select=R3EE-_E4vsOqRrNcD0B-qA#adF96uYVaJ40Efhmx7zFVQ) The sammi was simple and came with tomatoes and onions only. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/elsas-kitchen-san-diego?select=R3EE-_E4vsOqRrNcD0B-qA#oP02xxvGT3GCiBy_MCmGcQ) I spread some of their yogurt dressing sammi which was descent, but a little bland. It needed some more aggressive seasoning and lemon juice. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/elsas-kitchen-san-diego?select=R3EE-_E4vsOqRrNcD0B-qA#8E8I_QxGUeM_IEBqjz_dXg) Overall, it was a very good gyro sandwich. The fries that came with the combo were okay. They were typical previously frozen fries. They were well fried and decently seasoned. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/elsas-kitchen-san-diego?select=R3EE-_E4vsOqRrNcD0B-qA#kki7j2Ra1ldsWWRiecLHBA) One thing that did disappoint me was the ice tea I ordered. First of all, I told the employee I wanted unsweetened iced tea. I told him twice to make sure, but to make a long story short, I was handed sweetened, perhaps, Brisk fountain drink iced that was unwelcoming to sweet for me. Not my cup of tea, so to speak, so I did not drink it and I yelped it! (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/elsas-kitchen-san-diego?select=R3EE-_E4vsOqRrNcD0B-qA#-EVaVZyK61In13TgRcRmYA) The service was okay. A little indifferent, but not unfriendly. The place is very simple and perhaps a borderline whole in the wall-ish place. That being said, they make a good gyro sandwich with a lot of good gyro meat.

    I've heard GREAT things about this place. I just picked my food and it smells on POINT!!!

    Elsa's kitchen is a nice little find! They have a very good Gyro sandwich and the frenchfries are super yummy and delicious. I could eat their frenchfries all day!!! The falafel and spanikopita ( I probably misspelled that ) are just ok. I've also tried the gyro salad which was pretty good. Overall really decent food and portions for the money. I wish they offered garlic sauce as an alternative to the tziki sauce thus the 4 out of 5 stars.

    Simply delish. We…read moreused to KnB a many years ago... where have we been!? This is one of those night... everything was firing on all cylinders. Our tequila expert, Bruce was very efficient and so nice. He helped us with our order. fair warning... don't get the elote, because if you do, it's game over! Our main was the mustard greens and the salmon special. The salmon was prepared perfectly and delicate, the salad super flavorful. Where can you go for dinner have a bottle of wine and keep the bill near $100. I've added it to the circle of trust and will be back next week.

    I often find myself looking for places in or near La Mesa to enjoy a good happy hour with friends…read moreand colleagues. I came across KNB on Yelp when trying to find something I hadn't been to yet. KNB Bistro is in a small strip mall next the Windmill Farms market in San Carlos, just off College Avenue. Unknown to me until my arrival, KNB stands for Keg N Bottle, for the bottle shop attached to the bistro. I met up with a friend on a Monday evening right after work. I had noted a happy hour menu online. When I arrived, I checked in at the front and chose an outdoor table. I will say that it was pleasant with the heating, and despite being in a strip mall with a parking lot in front of us, it was actually a nice place to hang out. We spoke to our server about the happy hour menu. Actually the red white wines that were on special by the glass were wines that I enjoy. However, as they were offering a "no corkage special", we decided to walk through the bottle shop and choose a bottle to share. The bottle shop was really impressive and can easily rival some of the large chain liquor stores in the area. After a long time walking around, we chose a lovely Italian Red Blend. However, had they not had the "no corkage special", we would not have had that experience, as I simply would never pay an extra $10 for the bottle. For food, we shared the mushroom flatbread. I chose the happy hour cauliflower bites and my friend chose the happy hour Brussels sprouts. The flatbread was delicious, but I think it could have used more mushrooms. I enjoyed the flavor of the cauliflower bites, but I wished that they had been less battered. I really would give 3.5 stars as the food was good, but not great. However, I chose four stars as I enjoyed my overall experience and would definitely go back. It is a decent happy hour and I believe that it is really a good deal. There were a couple of salads on the menu that sounded really good and I would like to try one of those next time.

I've tried some of the other locations (liberty station especially can sometimes overcook their wings) but this location always gets it right. The location is fairly large- many tables and a bar area but it does fill up on nights where there are games being shown. There is sometimes a bit of a wait but always a good vibe here. The servers are friendly and check in throughout the meal.

    First time coming to this iconic San Diego wing spot/sports bar. The interior wasn't very bright…read morebut you could see and there were a good amount of TVs to watch the games they were playing. I was seated quickly on this bar table thing (not the actual bar) and it was high up. The prices were pretty expensive at $12.50 for five wings, not including any sides/sauces. I came here on a Monday and got the Monday AYCE wing special. The AYCE made it more worth it but still a bit pricy at $31 per person. For AYCE, it comes with fries or tater tots, a sauce, 10 wings, and some carrots and celery for your first order. After that, you get 5 wings per refill. The wings were a good size though the skin wasn't really crispy or anything. I tried buffalo, lemon pepper, and flaming honey mustard. Buffalo and lemon pepper are my go to flavors but I didn't really enjoy any of the flavors I tried. There were an overwhelming amount of flavors so it was a bit hard to choose on the spot with AYCE but now I wish I tried some different ones. Our waitress was pretty nice and checked in on us a good amount. Overall, I felt like the food was just okay, and for the value made it less good. My rating is a bit higher because of the service. I might come back to try some other flavors since this is such an iconic San Diego chain.
