    I took tenderloins out of the tray just to show how much butter is at the bottom of the tray
    Roxxie G.

    Service was great. Staff was amicable. My husband and I placed an order to go. We got an order of honey bbq and an order of lemon pepper tenderloins. When we got home and open the lemon pepper tenderloins tray, there seemed to be some sort of sauce at the bottom. The lemon pepper is supposed to be a dry rub. There was so much butter on the chicken it was overpowering the lemon pepper flavor. The bread was hard and drenched with butter too. It was fresh because I saw them taking it out if the over, but it was overcooked

    Epic Wings is probably my favorite chicken wings chain, so we decided to stop here for dinner after a long drive from LA. This is definitely the smallest location that I've been to, with only about 5 or 6 small tables to dine at inside, and it seems like most of their orders here are phone ins. I got my usual Single Meal order ($11.95) of boneless wings with buffalo hot sauce and honey bbq sauce mixed together. I would recommend phoning in your order since it does feel like this location took a bit longer than usual to bring our order out. However, they explained that they slightly messed up our order and had to fix it which is why ours look longer than usual, and they compensated for it. The cashier that we talked to was super nice and accommodating, so we had no issues with the customer service here. As far as quality of the food, it's just as good as the other locations. Everything came out piping hot, and they put a lot of sauce on the chicken as well so there was plenty to dip the breadsticks in too.

    Super bowl togo orders...

    Average rating is because this location is old and rundown. The good news is that they're opening up another Epic Wings and Things off W Valley Parkway. Even though I've lived in Escondido for 16 years I've never dined here before. But on a whim we decided to stop by after church. I guess the unfortunate part was that this was also super bowl Sunday. Apparently everyone in Escondido orders wings for the super bowl. This place was packed and they had a whole table stacked with togo orders. I was a little concerned that the wait would be too long, but it was normal. My boneless wings and bread sticks were great. But it's hard to get past how dingy this location is. Make sure you take your wings to go...

    The food is great but they need to get some AC in there. I felt bad for the workers. Shame on the ownership for being so cheap.

    Ew I hate how sometimes the wings are still cold or still have feathers. They take forever to get your order. Bad service.

Everyone is genuinely kind and welcoming, and you can tell they enjoy what they do. That warm customer service alone keeps us coming back. Unfortunately, the carne asada nachos missed the mark on our most recent visit. We appreciated that they use shredded cheese rather than nacho cheese, but after only about 8 minutes (when we opened the container to enjoy our nachos), the chips were chewy and tasted stale. The nachos were also fairly lackluster and could have used more toppings. It may have been the chips themselves being actually stale, or the foil container trapping too much heat and moisture. We will absolutely return because we love the staff and have had so many great meals here. We just hope they freshen up the chips or reconsider the packaging for items that can quickly become soggy.

Reminds me of a slice of pub in New York City. When New York City was worth noting. Huge screen TVs. I don't call it a sports bar. That can have a negative "man cave" impression. Yesterday, we watched the new Frankenstein film. It was awesome to not watch sports all over the room. However, women's sports was on the other TV. I could watch both. I was in heaven. The beer options are great. It seems every place promotes hazy beers. They have it too. Great wine options. While at the bar I order Lisa's delicious tacos. Staff are the best. As you'd like it to be.

Perfect local spot if you wanna watch the game. I wish the menu had more options but my bf and I grabbed a wing and tender combo. The protein part of the meal was delicious. I never cared for the former restaurant but I've learned that the medium buffalo is the sauce to get. The blue cheese was great too. I don't really care for breadsticks in general but they were massive and the veggies tasted fresh. The restaurant was clean, the service was average (not bad nor exceptional) I'll be back, my experience was nothing like these one star reviews. If I find out they play the ufc fights I'll come back and give this place another star.

I'd have to say, this is one of the nicest locations I've ever been to (compared to the San Marcos location). Lots of ample parking in the plaza its located in. Very clean and spacious inside, with the bar right in the center of the restaurant. Service was spectacular! The gentleman at the counter was very helpful and patient with us while deciding what to order, and answered my questions very patiently. We decided to go with the Single 6-pc bone-in chicken combo with the Combo #2 to try their Epic Chicken Fries! We sat by the big tap room, which was really interesting. Food was served fairly fast, maybe only waited about 5-8 minutes. The chicken was so hot & fresh! Though in my opinion, the flavor of the garlic parmesan wings were lacking. It's a bit too dry for my liking. Though, the breadsticks and the fries were our favorites! We got lemon pepper chicken tenders in the fries, so I think the chicken tenders were the real winners here! Would I come back again? Maybe to try their beers on tap because they have a HUGE selection! I was surprised to see how much beer they carry at this location.

Today, we ordered the classic lunch combo burger with fries-delicious and does not taste like freezer burn!!! There is a choice of not just beef, but also impossible, gluten free, and grass fed meats. All burgers are cooked to medium unless you specify otherwise. Easy to order-just go to the counter and order, pick a seat and wait for your meal. The interior dining area has plenty of seating and restrooms in the back. The outdoor patio looks nice enough for when it's a nice cool night, it is covered as well. Anyway, we'll be back since the menu looks super inviting because there are other choices besides burgers and the best thing is that they use a lot of local, fresh ingredients!

They have a good selection of beer, milkshakes, and drinks. You order at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. It's hard to find a burger place with all my favorites: an egg, bacon, and avocado. The bacon was crispy, the egg was medium and wasn't too runny, and the brioche bread was a little sweet and fluffy. They use angus beef for their patties. You can also split your fries which I love! I got to try the onion rings and sweet potato fries. I wish the sweet potato fries were crispy. They were more on the soggy side. The onion rings batter was a lil thicker than I like. The batter overpowered the onion. We also got the Cajun wings to try which was nice and crispy! They give you a few sauces on the side so you can dip it. I got the ranch which was so good with the wings, fries and burger. The milkshakes are pretty delicious! We got the classic vanilla one. It was a pretty thick shake so you know they use legit ice cream! I also liked the peach lemonade. I would check this place out if you're in the area!
