    SPICY CHICKEN sandwich
    Scott T.

    what did Mark Twain say after reading his obituary in the newspaper about reports of his death being exaggerated and somewhat premature? hey, Yelp. you were misinformed. this KFC is NOT closed. I'm a bit uncomfortable breaking a streak of one-star reviews dating back to a two-star review in 2014, but I gotta come correct. saw the KFC ad on TV and after a couple of restless nights haunted by fitful, chicken-wing dreams, I resigned myself to giving 'em a try. ordered 8 hot-and-spicy wings at the drive thru and they were oh, so good. well seasoned, the coating was perfectly crisp, fresh outta the fryer. still struggling under the Covid hangover, they're understaffed. in the middle of a modest lunch rush, one woman was getting her cardio working the window and the front counter. not the fastest fast food ever but worth the short wait. ps: not fair to compare their spicy chicken sandwich to Crack Shack or even Cross Street Chicken, but better than Popeye's and Angry Chickz is still nasty. pps: went back the next day -- just happened to be in the neighborhood -- and the experience was disappointing if only because my expectations were so high. the wings had been sitting under the heat lamps for a while and pretty sure they were sourced from Cornish game hens. deep sigh ...

    Worst employee

    What a crap store. Dirty inside. Slow service. Bad service. Out of most items. And this star employee who is a prick. Yo Omar, if you hate your job then quit. And wash your hands more than once a day. Watching you handle trash, cash, and food one after another is nasty. But so is this store. Trash loves trash I guess

    Chicken & Donut Sandwich
    Michael F.

    Stopped here to try their LTO Chicken & Donut sandwich. It actually was really really tasty! This review is based on this visit only, as I would typically rate KFC as a 2.5-3 star establishment. But the sandwich was HOT! Literally and deliciously! So much flavor in the chicken and donut combo! It was really messy to eat though. So much glaze on the hot donut made it pretty sticky. I also really enjoyed the wedges that came with it.. All in all, I'd recommend this LTO!

    Part of drive thru menu
    Kat K.

    Drive through lady who took our order was super nice. Food was piping hot (temperature). Huge positive on that. I love that. This was last time ^ I'm here today we got helped by Tony with amazing great positive attitude, customer service, great smile, on the drive through and he helped us save some money with his expertise in the deal and helped us out a lot! I'm super thankful to him! I work at a restaurant and I try to help people like he does in the same way! I really appreciate him going above and beyond, also out of his way to help people out. I'm so happy to come by this KFC! Thank you for the piping hot food, ask us for what sauce we need, giving us enough utensils napkins. You guys are the best KFC around north county! And of all SD county!

    Blue plastic in my corn.
    Lauren P.

    I ordered a family meal and I was disappointed to find a piece of blue plastic in our corn...needless to say we won't eat it because there's telling how much more plastic might be in there. It's pretty large, and I'm sure whoever scooped the corn in there saw it because it was dirt right on the top of the corn container.

The whole bar is vibey and cute, perfect for happy hour or a fun night out. The drinks were delicious and the food was incredible. The bartender was super attentive and took extra time to help me identify which items were gluten free. I've also been to Same Same multiple times for late night fun! They often have a dj in the back and have even hosted an emo night. I always have fun and the place is usually packed. I'll definitely be back both for late night parties and daytime happy hours and food!

    Same Same, but Different? Not Quite…read more Hiya B.U.M.S., We recently decided to check out Same Same, hoping for an experience that was delightfully different. Our order for the night? The Thai-style New York steak, Khao Soi curry, and larb lettuce cups--all paired with a custom-crafted, half-Cranberry, half-Sprite. Before we even tasted the food, we almost ended up eating next door. The entrances are a bit of a maze, leaving us standing outside having a mini identity crisis about where we actually wanted to dine. Ultimately, we stayed the course and chose Same Same. The Larb Lettuce Cups: As a massive larb fan, I was hyped. Unfortunately, it fell a bit flat. My wife officially dubbed it "lackluster." While the ground beef was seasoned and the lettuce was beautifully crisp, when the lettuce is the undisputed star of your larb, it might be time to reevaluate the recipe. The Yellowtail Ceviche: To recover from the larb disappointment, my wife ordered the ceviche. It was a step up, but for a Thai spot, it was missing that signature kick. It really needed a handful of jalapeños to wake it up. In fact, nothing on the table was truly spicy until I deployed their house chili oil. The Khao Soi Curry: This was the absolute hero of the night! It completely saved the meal. It was rich and delicious, and it paired unexpectedly well with our New York steak--even though the kitchen served it well-done instead of our requested medium-rare. As dinner went on, it became pretty clear that this spot might cater a bit more to the happy hour and drinking crowd, especially considering my Cranberry-Sprite mix was arguably the most flavor-packed thing on the table. That said, the service was fantastic. The staff members were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Pro-Tip: If you're ordering more than two items, do not let them seat you at the tiny tables for two. It's a high-stakes game of food Tetris you will not win. On the bright side, they earned major bonus points for boxing up our leftovers for us. Call me old-fashioned, but I feel like every restaurant should still offer that level of hospitality! Overall, I'd say give it a shot if you're in the neighborhood and looking for a cool atmosphere, but I wouldn't rush off your couch to get there.

Our server was also super great and attentive. I wish I could give a higher review but the food just wasn't that great for us. Kind of pricey and just tasted blah. I got the chicken chop shop salad, my husband got the Korean ahi poke bowl tasted kind of meh had to add a lot of sauce on the side to make it taste good, and my kids got their butter pasta with Parmesan that I had to try to salvage by adding extra salt, it didn't work there didn't eat it. It was also on the pricier side, just for pasta and butter it was $10.5 and a fountain drink. I mean at least add fruit or fries something on the side. My salad honestly tasted like those pre mixed ones you get at Costco but for $21 dollars. The place is nice and huge, it's loud and great for kids and families bc of the size. It was convenient for our large party. The parking can be hard if they're busy as it is right next to a hotel and it's prolly hotel parking too.
