    Medium Spicy Tenders side of Buffalo Sauce
    Lynn U.

    Family Fun Night kicked off with Puzzle Effect (SLO ESCAPE ROOM) we came for Nite Creamery next door.. but smelled the FRIED CHICKEN!! New! Still assembling chairs but this area has a lot of outdoor seating as well from the other neighboring businesses. This is a fun addition to The Creamery Marketplace it's like SLOPM little sister, both offer coffee, ice cream, Italian food and now SPICY or not if you choose FRIED CHICKEN!!!! Yesssss! Just really want to get a taste since we were just stopping by for ice cream. So my husband and I split a tenders order (comes with fries) we ordered them medium spice that's our middle ground, the fries has a great tasting spice on them but the fries themselves were rather limp and not too crisp. My husband said he'd prefer them less spicy as that heat met his max and I could have gone spicier. So medium can be quite hot for most. I thought the chicken was fresh and HELLA HOT my other half thought it was HELLA HOT and HELLA SPICCCCY!!! I'm not too sure about the parking situation the lot adjacent is limited spaces with 2hr free parking there is metered street parking or if you prefer there are paid parking lots and garages around the area check here on Yelp! The marketplace has a shared restroom code is offered at service. cash or credit Self serve Coca~Cola fountain drinks They also have a pink lemonade. There is a chart at the register explaining the levels of spice. For all other information, videos or events visit them on Facebook.

    Fried pickles (pretty good, but the coating slips off easily) 8/10

    This place is pretty good but if your getting the fries with cole slaw on them, I'd recommend eating it at the restaurant as soon as it comes out. I drove 5 minutes back home after my order came out & The coleslaw made my fries so cold within those few minutes It is a little pricey. I got the max n cheese with tenders & it wasn't as good as i expected it to be! The max n cheese is definitely bland on the flavor. Fried Oreos are always good! Also showed a selection of the sauces we've tried so far. Willing to come back and try it again! Except we'll eat there this time

    We stumbled upon this restaurant in this cute outdoor food court. The staff was so friendly and kind. We just ordered a side of fries and mac n cheese. They ended up giving us some chicken to try. Hubby and kids loved every bite! Highly recommend. They even offered to grill me some chicken to try since I can't do dairy (which was so nice) but I had ordered a salad from another place). Nice time I definitely would! They were so sweet! Run to this place!

    Tried out the new chicken sandwich place in SLO! It did not disappoint. The medium spice on their "The Sando" chicken sandwich was just right. The service was quick and easy! Also did the grubhub way so that we get a discount ;) The vibe was also pretty chill and loved how the location was also near a lot of other cool food places!

    Is there a way to give this place 100 stars ???!!! I took my son for a staycation in our state! We are from the Bay Area but came down for the weekend and decided to do our own tour of food spots in SLO. He found this spot via Yelp and we said why not? We arrived and the girl that assisted us was so sweet and helpful we ordered the chicken meal with fries and deep fried Oreos. Can we talk about the chicken bites and fries dipped in their signature sauce and the honey mustard top tier I am still dreaming about it. Then the fried Oreos. They tasted like doughnuts with Oreo filling drizzled with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar! We ordered only two and instantly went back to order more. If your in SLO this is a must stop place, the only thing that was negative is the fact that they don't have a location in the Bay Area Hella Hot the Bay Area created the word hella it's only right to bring one out here Amazing food and amazing service we are already planning our next trip out there and first stop will be here

    I've been here twice & the food is always spectacular! My favorite dish so far is the mac and cheese with a spicy tender on top. I can take the heat well, so I like the hot flavor. The spice levels are super flavorful & not just peppery like some other places I've tried in slo. The owner and workers are super friendly and gave us fried Oreos on the house ! there's plenty of tables to sit at outside in the courtyard. I would 10/10 recommend this spot & always tell my friends to try it !

    Mac bowl

    The best Nashville fried chicken I've ever had, and I've tried a ton! The best in slo for sure. Also the best Mac n cheese at a restaurant I've probably ever had... I usually get the 2 sliders and it's enough that I have a whole 1 leftover. Today I got the Mac bowl and it was 10/10, with soooo much leftover, so it's def worth the $.

The portions are great, the food is affordable, and everything comes out fresh and delicious. The service is also consistently amazing and everyone is friendly and helpful, and they keep things moving even when it's busy. For the quality of the food and the prices, you really can't go wrong. If you're visiting San Luis Obispo and want a casual spot with amazing tri-tip that won't break the bank, Firestone Grill is a must. Definitely one of my go-to places every time I'm in SLO! Plenty of space to sit but will be busy!

    I was excited to try this place while going on our road trip, heard a lot about their tri-tip…read moresandwiches! The sandwiches were yummy, (only complaint is that they could use a bit more sauce/flavor). The onion rings were yummy, can't go wrong with onion rings. I'm more irritated about the service we received from the cashier. I was in the process of ordering and it was my first time here, received lots of unnecessary attitude from the cashier and felt rushed. We were still deciding and the cashier had already charged us, and when we asked if she can add it on, she made a face at us and said "it's charged already? It's done" so we had to do a separate charge. That experience left us feeling sour, and we definitely won't be returning.

It cost extra to get a pickle with the sandwiches, but like that's totally understandable lol Service was quick like they gave us a heads up if they couldn't serve us right away, but even then they were pretty quick with getting back to us and we got some cookies which just like really helped with our stay at the place nearby their generosity and just like overwhelming help during our stay was incredible Would definitely visit again best shop in the area One sandwich would definitely fill us up we had to split it just like for convenience, but like we got ice water and I don't know of the name of any of the sandwiches that we got, just thought we've completely demolished them

If you create an account on their mobile app, they reward you with a free sammie with a $5 purchase. We ordered for pick-up and was quoted 5:20 for our pick-up time. There were a lot of people there so it did take a little longer but no worries, there were quite a few tables available for us to wait at. I ordered the Goomba in a whole and sammie! I opted for the option of toasting the sandwich and honestly, there was no need for that. I got it on a a Dutch crunch bread and the toasting honestly made it harder to chew since it was hardened and dry. Doesn't even matter because the amount of meat and toppings on it made up for the bread. I love that the meat to bread ratio is like 2:1!
