    Chick Fries
    K Q.

    Shares the Chick Fries with my family. By share I mean I ate the vast majority of it. Great portions for the price and delicious. They didn't skimp on the fries, chicken, or sauce. I do wish there was more pickled beets. At least I think it was beets. It looks like plenty when sprinkled on top but as you bite it, it ends up being so sparse that the taste doesn't shine through. I'd absolutely go back auto try out other menu items.

    Not that good, Oceanside location is way better. Chicken wasn't really edible on garlic chicken sandwich. Fries sauce was too rich to enjoy, garlic burger was flavorless mainly hard stringy pieces of chicken once you bite off the breading. Unfortunate.

    Came here to stop for a quick lunch! My husband and I are BIG fans of all things truffle, so we ordered the truffle burger and truffle honey tenders to share. To our disappointment, the truffle flavor of both items were barely there. I'd say my favorite thing from the two was the burger, which was still pretty good even though there wasn't a truffle flavor. The chicken was good but considering there's so many fried chicken places open now, this one was nowhere as good as many other options. Both items were priceyyyy for what they were as well. This store is located in Windmill Food Hall which is a cool spot! There was plenty of seating when we went on a Saturday afternoon and service was friendly. Overall, although it wasn't bad, I probably wouldn't return here in the future.

    Garlic Parm Chicken Sandwich
    William M.

    It was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had! Wow, did I really just say that? Isn't that pretty strong language for a lowly piece of fried poultry? Did I imagine it? The loud crunch, the tender meat, the flavorful crust, on a soft brioche bun with fresh lettuce, pickles and garlic parmesan mayo (sorry "aioli" is too foodie for me to say) made for an epic sandwich. Service was friendly and helpful with plenty of comfortable seating in the Windmill Food Hall. Fries very good, too.

    Best burgers in the area. Son got the basic burger and fries.... I couldn't keep my hands off either. The burger was so good. Fries were better than anyone's. Everything was fresh, hot and tasty

    BBQ Burger was fantastic.  I would get this every time.

    This location is inside the Windmill food hall. The hall was absolutely bustling on the Friday night we visited. Wait time for three burgers and two orders of frings wasn't bad--maybe 10 minutes. We tried the BBQ burger, the Cosmos burger, and the Blue Cheese burger. They were all very good but the BBQ was, by far, the best. It comes with two enormous onion rings, bacon, cheese, and tangy BBQ sauce and your very best snake jaws probably cannot bite this beast. It's an outstanding burger. The Cosmos burger comes with carmelized onions and it's a solid choice. The Blue Cheese burger comes with just a hint of blue cheese and it was undetectable and a disappointment. The burger meat on all three burgers was very well seasoned and delicious. But if you're going to sell a blue cheese burger, put some blue cheese on it, guys. Blue cheese fans love the flavor of blue cheese. You get a very good portion with the frings (onion rings and fries). The onion rings are not greasy and they are very good. The fries were not seasoned and were very average. They were better than In-n-Out fries but that's not saying much. Overall, these burgers are very good. They just need to add a lot more blue cheese to the blue cheese burger and season those fries.

    Blue Cheese Burger - so good!
    Erich C.

    Ordered a Blue Cheese burger at their Windmill location, along with some tater tots and I have to say the burger was EXCELLENT. It's the "smash" burger type where the meat is flattened and charred a bit on the edges. That combined with arugula, blue cheese and I think there's sauteed onions in there that make this an outstanding burger. Tots were good too, hot & fresh. Wish there was a non $8 option. I don't need $8 worth of tots. Half portion would be nice. Granted I did ultimately see an option to add fries & a soda to your meal for $3 more (check price on that tho). Prices are high. $16 for a burger, with no fries is kinda steep but it's hella good.

    BBQ Chicken tenders
    Trevor T.

    Ordered the BBQ Chicken Tenders which is PRETTY PRICEY for delivery. $14, but with gratuity, delivery, and tax it is $18.44. The order arrived and was just bbq sauce poured over chicken strips with garnish and pickles. I do give props for the tenders being MASSIVE and filling. My wife had one and was disappointed though which was shocking because she was high as a kite. I believe I ordered wrong though because the title is Cosmos Burger and not Cosmos Chicken. Will try a burger in the future.

    Nothing says summer like hamburgers and hotdogs...but what about some of the BEST elevated BURGERS and HOTDOGS in San Diego? Handcrafted, juicy masterpieces! Quality you can taste!! Their smash burgers are a cheesy adventure you won't forget!! Their meat is never frozen and comes straight from the butcher!! Their house-made sauces ROCK!! Freshly shaved Parmigiano that's been aged for 18 months!! Their OG Hot Dog is beautifully plated and tastes just as good as they look!! So brilliant!! This is a wonderful food hall. Love the outdoor dining area! This is the spot to satisfy your cravings!! Excellent customer service! tried: The Cosmos Burger Truffle Honey Chick Sandwich The BBQ Burger The OG Hot Dog The Garlic Parm Chicken Tenders Onion Rings Monkey Fries

    Ridvan is the goat, enough said. Food was banger. Service is great and vibes of the food hall r nice

    The Basic Burger
    Dung N.

    Cosmos burger is located inside the Windmill in Carlsbad. For drinks, we both got a lemonade. Based on the cashier's recommendation, I ordered the garlic Parmesan and the hot chicks flavors. One of them was supposed to be tenders and the other, a sandwich. Both ended up being tenders, but it was alright. The lemonade was refreshing and tart. The tenders were delicious. We also ordered the artisan hot dog, which came with a brioche bun. It was pretty good! Hubby also got a spicy jam smash burger. He said it was so yummy that I needed to get my own LOL. I ended getting the basic burger and the frings to share. These burgers are so great- so flavorful and juicy!

    Eating area, forgot to take a pic of my food!

    The truffle burger was a winner with my son and I appreciated the variety of choices! This was located in the Windmill food court, formerly a Pea soup Andersons! Windmill still there. Really liked the back seating area that was styled like a library. I just had the kids burger and fries as I wasn't that hungry. Nothing terrible or terrific, just decent. Food came out fairly quickly

    Hot Chicks Sandwich
    Kaitlyn W.

    This place is awesome. We tried the Hot Chicks chicken sandwich and the Cosmos fries and both were delicious! Although not really comparable to a nashville hot chicken sandwich, the Hot Chicks was flavorful in a different way - the herb aioli was super creamy and made the whole sandwich come together. The fries were perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the onions and the savoriness of the cheese fries. On top of that, the service was quick and friendly. I will definitely be coming back to try their burgers and other chicken sandwiches!

When we got home, we realized the cheesecake was missing. We immediately tried calling the restaurant, but no one answered since they were close to closing. The next day, we called to explain what happened and asked if they could either refund the $8 or simply provide the cheesecake that we had already paid for. Instead of trying to help, the woman who answered was rude and asked why we didn't call the night before. We explained that we did try, but no one answered. She still refused to offer a refund or provide the missing item. When we asked to speak with a manager, she told us there isn't a manager. Mistakes happen, and forgetting an item isn't the real issue. The disappointing part was the complete lack of customer service or willingness to make it right. For an $8 item that was never provided, a simple refund or replacement would have gone a long way. The food itself was average, but the customer service was enough that we won't be returning. There are plenty of other places nearby that value their customers and stand behind their orders. Based on our experience, we can't recommend this restaurant. The lack of accountability and unwillingness to correct a simple mistake left a very poor impression, and the staff could benefit from better customer service training.

Depending on the time of day and if the high school is getting out it can be pretty crowded to get in and out and park. The ambiance is ok, lots of pictures of their food, and a large TV playing people walking around. The place is clean, nice Tile floor, tables look inviting. There are probably 10-12 tables inside and a few outside. The doors were open so it was a little cold in there. They have a rewards program and an an app. You get 7000 points just for signing up. (Basically a free Soda). Joanna was super friendly, nice, and brought all of our food as soon as it was ready. She made sure we were all set. There is a paper menu you can look at, but there also have 3 monitors displaying the large menu. You can wait to talk to someone to order, or you can use the giant iPad to order yourself for takeout or dine in. There are quite a few choices for food. But the star are their wings. You can pick boneless or with bone, and for the qty they offer these sizes - small, medium, or large. They have several flavors to choose from. We tried the soy garlic, and they were delicious. Looking forward to try honey garlic and cheesling next. We tried the cheesling french fries, some kind of cheese powder, that is pretty tasty. Yum. My main course was the chicken fried rice, packed with umami, and very good. Nicely prepared. It was warm, delicious, and hit the spot. We also tried the fried dumplings, they were crispy, crunchy, also tasty. Definitely good food, and friendly service, so I am looking forward to go back to try other items for sure.
