    Giga with sour cream & onion.. so good.
    Anne C.

    This place has been at Plaza Bonita for a long time now... and it's always busy! While there's a variety of fries to choose from, as well as chicken strips.. original is definitely the most popular. I ordered a "giga" , their largest size, for a few of us to share. It was definitely a generous portion! We chose sour cream & onion for the seasoning and it was soOo yummy. Thin cut fries, they weren't greasy at all. And because their fries are made in small batches, it was basically made to order (not just seasoned to order).. I'd say the price was fair considering the portion and satisfaction level. Lol. It's definitely a yummy snack to munch on while walking around the mall. It was a weekday, around 1pm during summer and We waited about 15ish mins for our order.

    Their Loopy Fries with both Barbecue & Cheddar (asked for it mixed together)
    Alyssa A.

    A necessity anytime we eat at the mall food court! Always piping hot, fresh and crispy! We love it so much that we even considered looking into buying their flavor seasonings HAHA We think their Loopy Fries is their best item and always grab the biggest size since it's the best bang for your buck! My family always gets it with both BBQ + Cheddar seasonings flavors. Our 2nd favorite flavor combo would be BBQ + Sour Cream & Onion. Typical wait time to receive your food is about 20 mins which is why I put 4 stars, since it's always quite a long of a wait for just for fries. So I suggest if you are going to grab multiple items from any of the other places in the food court, to go put your order in here first then go get the other stuff!

    Cheese and sour cream

    My bf raved about growing up on Potato Corner for so long, and I finally came down to SD to try it! Giga (cheese and sour cream): 5/5 This is the ultimate flavor combo for Potato Corner. To get two flavors, you do need to purchase the largest size. They cooked the fries fresh to order. My order was hot, and the flavor was delicious. Service: 3/5 The employee taking our order was very kind and patient. However, the service here is very slow--it can take around 30 minutes for your order to be ready. Supposedly, the norm is to order first, then walk around the mall and hope it's done by then. Ambiance: 3/5 The shop is very small with limited space. You order and then pick it up. There is plenty of food court seating. Some of the materials they use don't seem the cleanest. The self-serve bar for napkins and utensils could be cleaner as well. Overall: I love Potato Corner. Despite the wait time, you'll always catch me coming back!

    We missed Potato Corner so much in National City, so we decided to make the drive for some fun and enjoy their sour cream and BBQ potato fries. But wow, the wait was so long, it took almost an hour! I know it's worth it, but waiting that long for a Giga Bite of fries is tough. The servers didn't seem as energetic; they looked tired, which is understandable since they were busy, but it did take away a bit from the experience.

    Sour cream and onions
    Collin A.

    We like to come back to this place because it tastes so good, and we crave for it occasionally. But when we came today the experience was not so pleasant. The guy with the tattoos and glasses is super unfriendly, he gave us a lot of attitude when taking our order and while waiting for our order we observed that other customers also got the same unkind treatment. Otherwise everyone else is very kind, and we will be coming back again. Hopefully not to him taking our orders though.

    Sour cream and onion fries - Mega size
    Trisha C.

    BLUF- amazing fries but the wait is TOO LONG I've gone multiple times and expect a wait of at least 20-30 min. I know they are known for having fresh fries but it's ridiculous. I wish they would have a text system or something to let you know when your order is ready so you don't have to wait around near the stall. They also got rid of the smallest size which is jumbo so I had to get the mega size. Pricy ~$8 but everything is so expensive these days. My fave seasonings are the cheddar and sour cream. Fries are fresh. Crispy outside, soft inside. I love it so I come back despite the wait. Would rate higher if it wasn't for the wait/order system. Ambience- it's in a mall food court so food court type seating. Plenty of parking at the mall.

    Aqui se puede elegir el combo! Y ella quería q se lo dijeran las niñas verbalmente
    Laura K.

    Pésimo servicio para personas especiales! Nuestras niñas le especifican con señales que quieren un combo (fries y soda) la cajera en un tono molesto nos dice que le tenemos que decir "especificar" que queremos soda, le volví a decir que le SEÑALAMOS el combo y aun así molesta de nuevo, nos dice que ella no entiende así que se lo tenemos que decir verbalmente! Son personas que tienen dificultades para HABLAR !! Nombre de la persona que nos atendió: Alanna J. check # 90255 y 90257 Un poco mas de empatía!

Order directly through their website link. If you are new to soul food or Louisiana rib style, then this eaterie would be good. If you are familiar with at least 5 styles barbecue and da real deal soul food, then the food and money value are not aligned. Actually, my one time may likely be unreturned. I was in a party of two but I should have just ordered one plate with two sides to give the food a taste test. Fifty bucks later, I'm a disappointed eater. I ordered pick up. It is apparent that all the food is pre-cooked and perhaps they have not mastered how to keep its freshness through the heat up process prior to serving. I was 6 minutes away. Hungry like a roaring lion on the African terrain. The inside of the ribs were cold. The other dishes were lukewarm. Although the ribs were tender and flavorful. The mac&cheese was mushy. A sharper cheese is recommended to blend. Or better yet a bechamel sauce and seasoning. Yet, I liked the texture of the pasta. You know how when beans get to the bottom of the pot and get mushy? Yep, that's what I was served. Mushy and dryish. But I can see where they were going and it would have worked out perhaps maybe just not on this visit. And the corn bread was so dry that it crumbled to smithereens. Now, greens are the easiest vegetable to make tasty, but an easy vegetable to make bland. These were on the bland side. I must be clear the meal was not Louisianian style. Being from Louisiana and cooking like a Louisianian are different. I'm just sayin'. Louisiana is known for flavor. And a ten on two. I know intimately what is expected from a Louisianian culinarian. Today was not that day. I want to support. And I will. But not fiscally. I'll get the word out but remember you're on your own. Since there's other eateries in the public market you may have a better cuisine choice. Service was with a smile and friendly.

    Favorite place to eat Korean fried chicken in San Diego on Mondays and Tuesdays for their $1 wings…read moredine in deal. The deal is up to 12 wings per person which is great because after 6 wings - dipped heavily in ranch sauce - I'm full. Deal doesn't come with any sides like radish or rice and costs extra. My go to spicy wing sauce is yangnyeom. The Littles (who normally don't like very seasoned or saucy things) surprisingly liked the 3 non spicy flavors. Bulgolgi fries is overall crispy and tasty but has little Bulgolgi in it. Japchae was underwhelming. Parking sucks but it never takes me more than 2 minutes to find parking. I've never had to wait for seating but I've seen that wait times can be from 30 minutes - 1 hour at peak times or with large parties.

You are also able to take it home if you don't finish but it is way more than enough. There was a small wait and the servers Annika and Kyla were attentive and responsive. We tried all flavors of the wings. All 3 of us had different favorites but I'd say all the flavors were pretty good and there wasn't a flavor I disliked. Their tteokboki was sooo good. I really enjoyed the flavor and so far my best I've tried. Other places are too sweet or has too much overpowering gochuchang. This place is by far my favorite for tteokboki. I really didn't like their takoyaki though. Too much flour/dough and they were not mindful making it since some pieces only had 1 piece of octopus while some piece had none and was just straight up flour. I'd come back for their wings and tteokboki though.

I doubt the outcome would have been much different, but I want readers--especially those considering takeout or ordering through Uber Eats, GrubHub, or DoorDash--to have that context. What we ordered: 30-piece Mix & Match Crew Pack (10 Cajun wings, 10 Hot Honey wings, 10 Lemon Pepper boneless), all requested extra crispy/well done, carrot and celery sticks, three ranch dressings, a large seasoned fries, and a 5-piece fried corn add-on. The issues: Unfortunately, none of the food arrived hot, and none of the 30 wings or boneless pieces were cooked extra crispy as requested. The fries were placed loosely in the large to-go bag in an uncovered paper tray, which could have easily spilled during transport. The carrot and celery sticks were simply wrapped in a napkin and placed in the bag in the same open tray as the fries. The fried corn also didn't taste fresh. I'm not suggesting it wasn't freshly made--only that it didn't taste like it had just been fried. The main reason for this review is the value for the price. The total came to $68, and the overall quality and packaging didn't feel close to worth that amount. For comparison, we could have ordered a similar quantity of food from Panda Express for around $52, or from Epic Wings or Buffalo Wild Wings. They might be similarly priced--or even slightly more--but I would have gladly paid $70-$80 if the food tasted fresh and the order had been packaged with more care. Those dining in may have a somewhat better experience than we did with takeout. However, based on the average Yelp rating for this location, we're not convinced that would be the case.
