The chicken tastes so good and you're fighting the spice at the same time.

Menu it appears they're willing to change by trend. We all had burgers, but we double burgers or split burgers. Soda is refilled, except handcrafted sodas. In the future; might want to research seasonal coleslaw or broccoli-slaw for change up of side menu salads. Other: fried or steamed vegs as possible finger food. Portion side, it was expected. Shio liked the bacon melt leftover. I found out what was missing alfalfa sprouts made taste elevated. Not sure if they would add pan fry egg as optional item. Server was good, he explained things better, and ambiance wasn't too noisy to hear him. Server did say you can seating arrangement is up to customers. Noon time on Saturday seems like less busy, my brother was telling us, hard to get in, reserve spot, and appears like that way only if there was a live game it said so in commercials. Packed to where ppl were waiting in line get in. They do work hard making place clean. Thank you for the good food it was yummy. Edited at desktop, mobile doesn't allow much for spellcheck. Note: 1-star rating ppl might have gone when it was live game. Suggestion go when it's lunch or game days are re-played. Patience is a virtue, try to eat more when you go out. There is ton of food on menu besides the wings.

I ordered the beef stew with egg noodle soup, and it came with a generous amount of tender beef and a really flavorful broth. Their pho broth is also excellent, and the meatballs are delicious. One of my favorite things was the sautéed chili oil they put on the table--it added such a great kick to the soup! The avocado smoothies were fresh, creamy, and not overly sweet. Even though the restaurant was packed, the service was fast and our food came out surprisingly quickly. Great food, generous portions, and efficient service. Definitely a great spot for Vietnamese food in Salinas.

First my father ordered Korean BBQ Wings but they lacked flavor then on my mother's Hawaiian BBQ Wings Mom noticed that they were too sweet and had little flavor too. The only thing that was perfect was my plain wings and they tasted great. I also think that Wingstop has gone downhill on their seasoned fries because when I got mine I noticed my fries were lacking seasoning and tasted more like regular French Fries and normally when I have gotten fries from Wingstop the fries were always tasty and full of seasoning so I don't know what has been going on with Wingstop and I truly think they need to seriously improve their food. Because I'm a Wingstop fan I have adored their wings but they need improvement to make their food better

We recently went to Wing Stop after over 6 months of not trying it. One new thing I noticed and…read moreliked was their digital board that shows the progress of your order. Super helpful knowing when your food is coming out instead of just waiting around wondering or having to go to the counter and ask. We ordered the 30 piece meal with 2 drinks and spent $56.89, which honestly felt a bit pricey, but the food was mostly good. We got the Original Buffalo wings, Honey Hot Rub, and Boneless Lemon Pepper. The meal also came with fries and veggies, but we substituted the veggies with the mini corn instead, which was a pleasant surprise that was an option. I am happy the cashier mentioned we could substitute the sides. The wings were mostly delicious overall. The Honey Hot Rub wings had a really good flavorful coating, but the flavor didn't go all the way into the wing like the others did. The Original Buffalo and Lemon Pepper definitely had more flavor throughout, so we will probably stick with our favorites next time. The fries are honestly some of my favorite fast food fries. They are crispy on the outside, soft inside, and not cut too thin, which is the way I prefer my fries. The ranch is also really good for dipping the fries and wings. I did notice this visit the ranch seemed a little more runny than I remember. Overall, I love our go to wing flavors, extra enjoy the French fries and the ranch! We do enjoy treating to Wingstop once in a while. We will definitely be back!

I honestly wish I had saved my money…read more I ordered Wingstop through Uber Eats and spent nearly $50 on what should have been a simple order. Unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing food delivery experiences I've had in a long time. The wings arrived with little to no sauce, and the boneless wings that were supposed to be covered in sauce were completely dry as well. To make matters worse, there weren't even any napkins included. It felt like the order was rushed out the door without anyone taking a moment to make sure it was prepared correctly. What makes this especially frustrating is that sauce isn't some minor detail at Wingstop--it's a major part of what customers are paying for. When both the traditional wings and the boneless wings arrive dry, it completely changes the meal. The issue isn't just the missing sauce. It's the attitude behind it. Someone prepared this order, saw it wasn't right, and sent it out anyway. To the restaurant, it may seem like a minor mistake, but to the customer who spent nearly $50, it's disappointing. When businesses stop paying attention to details and customers stop speaking up about poor service, it creates a cycle where lower standards become acceptable. Good customer service starts with caring enough to get the basics right. People work hard for their money, and when they choose to spend it at a restaurant, they should receive the meal they ordered, prepared the way it was intended. Sadly, that wasn't the case here. Very disappointed. I hope management takes customer feedback seriously and works to improve quality control moving forward

I ended up ordering online since it was convenient and the deals were calling my name! Let me tell you this meal goes down in the history of histories. It was fresh! It was AMAZINGGGG! It was so good I had to call them and tell them know how delicious it was! I had ordered the tender+nugget family meal with mac and cheese, mash and gravy, lastly biscuits!! They were out of the oven hot! On top of that the 2 for $7 mikes hot honey sandwich, which you can redeem through the app. Well at least I was able to! Not only did I have to drive 45 minutes home, but it was still nice and hot! I've worked at a kfc back in 2016 this brings me back and definitely will continue to go back to this location. Unfortunately don't have pictures to show the spread, but it ended up happily in my belly. It was finger licking good.

One observation, there is plenty of parking but there is only one way to ingress/egress unless you want to roll thru the drive thru.

It was a bit expensive like around $70 but we fed 8 folks with the famous sides of mashed potatoes, cole slaw and warm biscuits. I would def come back here.

Finally!! A place worthy of a review!! ALSO YOU HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH TO ENJOY IT (scroll…read moreto the end for more context) In a central shopping area so lots of parking! We were passing through Salinas on our way home from the mini cow farm and decided to stop here for dinner based on their high rating and while we were skeptical because were unfamiliar with the area, this place delivered!!! No restrooms! We hopped into Pollo Loco, used them, and headed back over. The place is small with multiple two top seaters. We were the only ones in there and ordered the fried chicken over fried rice, beef pad see ew, and thai teas. While we waited, multiple people who all seemed like regulars came in. First, it was someone who came here to order on their WORK BREAK to be sure it would be ready for come pick up when they were off work. Then it was an ol timer who the cashier greeted by name! A young woman with an older relative came next and the elder greeted the cashier in Thai! By this point, we had gotten our food and it was so good that I had one of those Ratatoullie flash backs to the first time I ever tried fried rice in my childhood!!! The pad see ew was more of an 8/10 for me but I do think it would be a 10/10 with chicken. The fried chicken over rice was a perfect 10/10. Im pretty sure they use corn starch to fry their chicken instead of flour because the breading stayed on the chicken and didn't slip off the way others can and also, you cannot deny the crunch of this dish!! Thai tea was also very good. Crisp and flavorful without being too sweet. I love thai tea but sometimes their so sweet I can see my prediabetic diagnosis on the cup. I think adding boba would really elevate it but still recommend it! Now, while we were eating, a family of 4 came in and after completing their order, they asked if they could add a mango sticky rice to their order. The cashier apologizes and said they were sold out for the day. It was 5:30 pm. They close at 8:00 pm. I was immediately sad I never got the option to try a dessert so delicious it sells out before closing. I mentioned going before the end of the month at the start and thats because the cashier took a call where he told the customer that "no they were not closed yet" and that "they would be here through the end of the month." The cashier then mentioned to a regular that they were handing over the restaurant to his cousin and while they will have the same recipes, he is not sure if the food will be the same. I also think I heard him mention something about getting a spot in Monterey and you can bet good money that if they do, ima be there.
