Starbird is truly a must-stop for our family whenever we're visiting family up here! We always get…read moreStarbird on both the first and last days of our visits, and we've been die-hard fans ever since the very first location opened in Sunnyvale. If you're ever thinking about opening one in San Diego, PLEASE DO -- I promise it would be a huge hit! We even make a point to stop at Starbird when we're in LA because we just can't stay away! The Campbell location has become our go-to stop every time we're heading back home to San Diego, and Julio has been our guy every time we come in. He is always so kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. He's especially helpful when the menu has changed since our last visit and always makes sure we know what's new and helps us get exactly what we're looking for. Thank you, Julio, for consistently making sure we get the best service and for always being so friendly! It makes such a difference when we're about to start the long drive home. Starbird, please come to San Diego -- you already have loyal customers waiting!

Today was a big fail. My Green Goddess Salad was missing…read morethe egg and avocado and barely had any gorgonzola. We tried the Gardenbird Tenders and they were so rubbery we tossed them. They were almost impossible to bite through. And very small for the price. The fries were pretty good but I don't think they were made fresh. I've never been disappointed with the Brokaw location. This one will get one more chance.

This is my first time having this chicken and it's BOMB…read more I got a tender and slider combo in spice level medium. Fries with the pickles and bread was really, really good. Ordered online and it came out hot and fresh right on time. I really don't understand why people fawn over raising canes, it's nothing c ompared to this place. Also pro tip: Most of the recent 1 star reviews are bots or just p eople who don't understand what "reaper" means. Highly recommended.

Love Scratch Cookery. This is what a Nashville hot chicken sandwich is supposed to be…read more Unlike a lot of the chains like Dave's where it can basically feel like a chicken tender thrown into a bun, Scratch serves a huge, thick piece of actual chicken breast. The portions are serious, the chicken is juicy, and the breading has a great crunch. What really sets them apart for me is the spice. I've had levels 3, 4, and 5, and they're not simply the same seasoning with progressively more heat. Each level actually has a different pepper profile and flavor. Level 3 brings cayenne and Thai chili, level 4 moves into Thai chili and habanero, and level 5 adds habanero and ghost pepper. You can taste the difference, not just feel more burn. The seasoned fries are great too and they definitely don't skimp on the portions. It is a little pricey for a chicken sandwich and fries, but when you see the size and quality of what you're getting, I think it's worth it. Scratch is easily one of my favorite hot chicken spots.

The ambiance inside was about a 3/5. It felt a little dirty, and the windows could definitely use a…read moregood cleaning. The outdoor seating, though, was really nice. We ordered the Texas chicken sandwich and chicken strips. Portions were generous, and the sandwich was super tasty. The strips were fresh and flavorful, but be careful with the spice levels! We ordered level 1 and it was flaming hot. Even level 0 has a kick, so I'd recommend going one level lower than you normally would. The curly fries were also great. Overall, a solid 4/5. The only star off was for the spice-level calibration. Great food and portions, and we'll definitely be back!

I ordered the sweet potato fries and the B'igi Double Decker, which comes with two ¼-lb USDA Choice Premium Black Angus patties, iniSauce, double cheddar cheese, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, and pickles. I honestly expected the burger to be on the smaller side, but it was much bigger than I expected! The burger tasted great, and the sweet potato fries were a nice addition. Now I'm looking forward to trying some of the other items on the menu. Definitely a pleasant surprise and a place I'm glad I discovered!

JoJo's Hot Chicken has been a fried chicken food truck that's been an awesome option…read more Recently, they have moved to a restaurant located near Campbell. It's clean and has a lot more space than the truck. Food might take longer because of the demanding service. Fried chicken is always consistent and leaves little room for improvement. This is always going to be a daily for me and I will continue to forever attend this place when I'm craving fried chicken.

First the good, Your favorites are still there and are just as good served across a counter as they were handed down from a food truck window. We split their sliders with Louisiana Rub and fries and loved them as we always have. Secondly, it was a bit slow on this Thursday night. I believe Jojo's Kooser road customers haven't found their new home. Third, some thoughts on the location. It's clean but utilitarian and basic. I'd love to see it get a little soul and perhaps provide more of a nod to the food truck past. Maybe also expand the menu with the larger kitchen? Jojo's still has the sandwiches we love and it will be fun to watch it grow into its new space. (Loved the Jeremiah and Corinthians references too. Appropriately hopeful)

One well-known place consistently smells like a dirty wet mop, another sold me a sandwich with a bit of raw chicken, and the nearby Dave's Hot Chicken had rude staff on a couple of occasions. So when my buddy recommended this place my standards were to not feel grossed out, get food poisoning, and not have staff be rude. This place blew my expectations away with their simple but clean establishment, delicious not greasy and fresh food, and very nice staff who literally welcome you as you step in. The staff asked us if it was our first visit and took the time pleasantly to explain what their levels of spicy equated to, which was helpful because my colleagues had a change of mind after sampling the "Hot" version. The place was easy to find, and parking was a non-issue so a win/win there. Give it a try!

They did have TV's and the game was on. A couple empty tables that allowed us in. Wings were great. Cooked quite well and crispy. Had a few craft beers on tap. You order at the front grab a tag and they bring the food and drinks to you. The original sauce and Louisiana rub were quite good. The Garlic Parmesan was a bit plain. The interior felt more like a fast food joint vs a restaurant. But still had everything you need. No table service though.

The thai one is my absolute favorite, topped with green onions. I believe when we tried to Korean kick, it was a very similar flavor to the thai, minus the green onions. For the sides: Regular fries, seasoned fries, chili cheese fries, tater tots, chili cheese tots, zucchini sticks. We usually end up with fries. Last time we tried the seasoned fries, which we were hoping and hoping that they weren't too seasoned, being that the wings already have lots of flavor. However, we were pleasantly surprised to a very subtle seasoning. Overall, we keep coming to this place for their consistency and finger licking good wings.

The first time I tried Chikin Drip was back when they were a food truck. I thougjt that it was…read morereally good the first time I had it. This time, at one of their brick and mortar locations, there were many pros and cons. For one, I love that they actually put the "hot" in nashville hot chicken. Their medium packs a small punch unlike similar spots which are overly mild. Second, the fries and sauce here are amazing!!! The thick crinkle cut fries are not my favorite style usually, but here they make em so crispy with a soft pillowy center. Also so well-seasoned. I also like the seasoning on the hot chicken- it's less salty than most places and more of a real chili pepper flavor to it. Now for what wasn't my favorite: the chicken was a tad bit on the dryer side and the batter was an in-between of crispy and stale. The loaded mac came with both fries and mac n cheese. The mac itself was a bit bland, but everything out together was not bad. They had what seemed like no AC or proper ventilation when we went and it was so warm! Had us sweating by the end of the meal from both the spice and the heat. Workers were bare minimum of taking your order, and it took around 10 min for everything to come out. Overall: 3.6/5
