    Hair in my 6 Breadsticks! Gross!
    Deandre J.

    ordered food yesterday at this location... was presented with hair cooked into my breadsticks and was offered more hairy breadsticks in return from andrea the cashier! she was nice, but an awful counter. never will i feel comfortable eating breadsticks from here again.

    Traditional Wings with veggie sticks (Medium & Mango Habanero)
    Abelita-Rose F.

    Overall I gave a three rating due to the fact I love flavor and HOTNESS and that was missing on the French fries and mango habanero flavor. I, however, loved the fried zucchini and the fresh homestyle favor of the ranch. The fries were fresh cooked but has not season or salt so I ordered a side of cheese to dip them in. I got the 8 pc traditional wings with medium hot and mango habanero. I didn't get a hotter traditional buffalo because I thought the mango habanero was gonna knock my socks off. My biggest disappointment was the mango habanero because it was on the HOT side of the chart but was actually sweet with no hotness on them at all. The medium was about a mild level but the wings were edible just not the flavors I was expecting. It atmosphere was nice with tables and high tops to choose from with sit in or take out available. The two woman working were sweet and helpful. Besides wings there were Buffalo fries, cheesecake and even ribs (that had me curious) available. Other than the flavors on the wings and fries, I'd probably visit Empire Wings again.

    Lemon Pepper wings with feathers

    Removing feathers from chicken, tossing with wings in sauce, and frying them enough. Fry French fries longer to reduce sogginess (this was requested).

    flies all over the counter

    If I could give 0 stars I would. I usually go to the Wings Empire on orange avenue but it closes at 9 and it was around 9:05. I saw that this place closes at 10, so I tried calling to place a phone order but no one was picking up the phone. I decided to go in person and order. The food took 25 mins to complete maybe even longer. Initially they gave me the wrong order so I had to wait even longer to get the correct order. While we were waiting there were flies all over the floor, counter and tables. Gnats were going on my clothes and falling on my face while I waited at a table for my food to be done. By the time I got my food and left, I felt so itchy by being in the restaurant. I will not be going back and will stick to going to the one on orange avenue.

    "TENDERS"
    Kimberly P.

    I called in for a 10 tender meal and a side of breadsticks. I was told 15 mins and no issue there. My issue was upon receiving my food and unfortunately not checking until I got home I noticed my "tenders" were more like chicken nuggets. I was like blown away I feel played. Shame shame

    Oh also the carrots and celery frozen and defrost with some sort of white slime carrots.... Grosssss food...

    Super dry chicken meat like double fried. Mac & Cheese is water and Mac salad water. These guys were on top but maybe it went to the head or new owner. Either way wow not good. It's like smoke ribs smoked 12 hrs to super dry meat they suck no joke.... Crappy to say it short............................

    Boyfriend and I always get our Buffalo Chicken Fries here !
    Dalilla C.

    My boyfriend and I always come here to get some Buffalo fries every once In a while with a side of 6 bread sticks and it's always the bomb ! Definitely recommend getting food here ! Always delicious. Order ahead over the phone so by the time you get there ,you just need to pay ! Typically they just ask for a name when ordering over the phone . COVID - they do not have dine-in seating nor outdoor seating . Take out and delivery only . They have 6 ft markers on the floor for social distancing.

    I ordered some buffalo chicken fries with mild sauce with a little bit of mango habanero. It was perfect and beautiful. It was delicious. It was the right amount of sauce, the right amount of fries and the right amount of meat. I definitely recommend going here!!!

    Service was great. Waitress was holding the place down by herself very impressively…read more I got the famous rosiemac burger double patty and it was very delicious however I think the cheese may have overpowered it and I think next time I would choose one without the cheese completely. Onion rings were ok. Nothing to rave about honestly. The seasoning on it made them seem nicer but I think it just took away from a good ol fashioned onion rings, they also added a seasoning to the ranch to pair with the onion ring and I wasn't a huge fan. Next time I definitely want to try a different burger and opt for the elote fries or no fries at all. I'm just happy to finally be able to cross this place off my list of must tries, lol.

Everything is fresh, cooked to perfection, and explained very well when brought to the table. I forgot the name of the burger I tried, but it was chicken based that was like a curry infused (it was yellow) and I thought it was a nice edition to the menu. Side note, you might want to wear gloves or eat with knife and fork as you'll be using a lot of napkins for sure (haha) I will continue to show the love for this place and enjoy this as one of my "special treat meals". Thanks for the wonderful experience.

    Its San Diego time again!…read more I have been to the original Hodad's in Ocean Beach, so during a staycay in the San Diego Gaslamp, I said I gotta hit up this location on Broadway. The portions are big and the quality of the food is very good. The breading and seasoning on the chicken was tasty AF. Secondarily, the burgers are 1/4 lb and a single is plenty for a normal person. Lastly, the rings were thicc and GBD. Unfortunately, we sat in traffic for 3 hrs from OC, when it normally takes 1 1/2 hrs: We were really hungry, and Hodads met our needs. Regarding the ambiance, its a bit grunge but np for me. The name has a whole lot of nostalgia in SD. The service was friendly & warm. Our food came out quickly. The only downside was the chicken & rings needed some kinda sauce, but otherwise everything else was great. Would def return the next time I am in the area.

First off, if you're in San Diego, this should be your only must-visit. I rarely go back to places I've already reviewed, but Hodads is a MUST, non-negotiable!!! The dining room is not fancy and looks like a teenager's bedroom with stickers and license plates adorning the walls. While the burger speaks for itself, whether you get the mini, reg, or double, the patties are thick, juicy, with fresh veggies and a soft, sweet bun to soak up those juices. This goes for the onion rings too, that don't seem to come out of the dryer in a bag. At the end of the day, the service was fast and friendly and carried the ocean vibe a Cali burger joint should have. I even picked up my Hodads T-shirt to probably advertise on my travels! My only question and curiosity is in the fries. I'm not a fan of wedges, and I feel like my last visit, they were thick-seasoned traditional fries. Fries or wedges, it will never change how I feel about Hodads!!!

    Rocky's Burgers is a casual burger spot located in Pacific Beach, known for its juicy burgers,…read moresimple menu, and convenient location in a busy beachside area with a laid-back, local vibe. Pros: I got the half-pound burger with fries and it was really good overall. The burger was super juicy, well-cooked, and had that classic hearty, satisfying taste you want from a solid burger spot. The portion size was generous, especially with the half-pound patty, and the fries were a great side to round out the meal. The location in Pacific Beach is also a big plus. It's in a great area with lots going on, so it's easy to grab food and walk around afterward or make it part of a beach day. The overall vibe of the spot feels casual and fitting for PB--nothing overly fancy, just good comfort food done right. Cons: Since it's in a busy beach area, parking and crowds can be a bit of a challenge depending on the time you go. It's more of a casual grab-and-go or quick dine-in spot, so don't expect a sit-down restaurant experience with a lot of space or quiet seating. During peak beach hours, it can also get pretty busy. Verdict: Overall, Rocky's Burgers is a great spot in Pacific Beach if you're craving a juicy, satisfying burger in a fun beachside area. The half-pound burger and fries hit the spot, and it's a solid choice for a casual meal before or after hanging out in PB.
