Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken in El Cajon, CA, definitely has the best southern…read morebiscuits in San Diego. I've visited the Carolinas many times when I lived in the east coast and had some of the best biscuit sandwiches that I've ever had. It's nice to have this biscuit place in San Diego. The first time I tried Rise Southern Biscuits, was during Yelp Elite week. I used their phone App to place my order but I highly recommend that you place your orders inside the restaurant because the phone App doesn't have the full menu. I notified the owner about it. It's missing a lot of the sweet options like the blueberry beignets and fresh donuts etc. The owner indicated that he would notify corporate about the missing items on the App. I ordered 4 blueberry sausage biscuits and 3 plain biscuits on the App. The biscuits were pretty big and the blueberry biscuits were covered in a delicious sweet glaze. Once inside the store, I placed the order for the blueberry beignets. I spent a total of $53 dollars. These biscuits are not cheap but are made fresh daily. With the 3 plain butter biscuits, I ended up making my own bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches. FYI, It's a lot cheaper buying the biscuits separately and making your own sandwiches at home. All said and done, my parents really enjoyed the biscuits and beignets. If you decide to dine in, there's plenty of seating. I look forward to trying their Nashville chicken sandwich next time. Give it a try! Happy Yelping :)

The tater tots were also very good, crispy and seasoned well. Everything I ordered tasted fresh and satisfying. The ordering process is straightforward: you place your order at a kiosk and then receive your food in a bag shortly after. The service was quick and efficient, which made the experience smooth. Solid place for a quick bite, especially if you're looking for simple comfort food done well. I would come back again.

Okay but this place???…read more It's a tiny little spot inside a supermarket (no indoor seating), we saw it on TikTok and had to try it--got it to-go and the smell alone had us READY before we even got home.

Then we realized they gave us TWO orders of wings we didn't even order we called, they were super nice and told us to keep them--and one box even had an extra wing lol. 10/10, so yum, highly recommend.

The fried chicken is still crispy, addictive, and mostly consistent between locations. I'd pick Korean fried chicken over American fried chicken chains any day, but the items here are quite pricey. Also, sometimes the chicken here isn't completely coated in the sauce and hence could use more sauce. Service is good and punctual. My order is always ready before the estimated pick-up time. It's a more casual Korean spot to go eat with your friends. I didn't see many people inside the times that I've picked up food here.

I even politely asked if I could try two sauces since it was my first visit. The kid blinked at me like I'd asked him to solve a riddle and whispered "one sauce only." Fine. I chose the spiciest one and moved on with my life. After a wait, he brings out bone‑in wings. I remind him I ordered boneless, and suddenly I'm trapped in a loop where he keeps repeating, "That sauce does not come on boneless," as if the universe itself forbids it. This would've been excellent information to share before cooking the wrong thing, but here we are. He eventually checks with the back and offers boneless with the second‑spiciest sauce, which at this point feels like a hostage negotiation. I accept. The boneless arrives. It's dark meat (not my favorite). The sauce is sticky sweet gochujang with a personality crisis. And the only dip option is ranch. No bleu cheese. No dignity. Nothing tasted bad. Nothing was inedible. But the whole experience felt like ordering chicken inside a bureaucratic escape room. Fresh food, sure, but the communication gaps and sauce‑based existentialism made the visit exhausting rather than exciting.

The best chicken sandwich I've had! (Yes! Even better than chik-fil-A)…read more I tried The crack shack in downtown for the first time a few years ago and it was amazing. When I saw they opened one in PB I was thrilled since I'm in the area quite often. The chicken sandwich was just as good as I remembered it to be. Very big sandwich worth the price tag. I honestly had to take half of it to go because I couldn't finish it. They have a sauce bar, I loved the mustard and ranch the most. I got the coop deville and the slaw was perfect and I don't usually like slaw. There is plenty of seating and some lot parking available. Not to mention it's just steps from the beach. Service was also very kind and quick. Highly recommend 5/5!

We told him we would absolutely come back to support the business because we wanted to see them succeed. Unfortunately, our return visit tonight was the complete opposite experience. After arriving, there was essentially no service or acknowledgment, so we quietly decided to leave. As we were walking away, one of the employees actually chased us down outside. All I said was, "I wish you luck with your new business." Instead of handling the situation professionally, the employee confronted us and scolded us with, "Why are you being so rude?" That completely caught us off guard. We had not raised our voices, complained, or caused any scene whatsoever. We were simply disappointed customers trying to leave respectfully. What confuses me most is how a brand-new business trying to build a customer base could treat supportive first-time customers this way. First impressions matter, but so do second chances -- and sadly, this experience ensured we won't be returning.

I've tried some of the other locations (liberty station especially can sometimes overcook their wings) but this location always gets it right.

The servers are friendly and check in throughout the meal.

First time coming to this iconic San Diego wing spot/sports bar. The interior wasn't very bright…read morebut you could see and there were a good amount of TVs to watch the games they were playing. I was seated quickly on this bar table thing (not the actual bar) and it was high up. The prices were pretty expensive at $12.50 for five wings, not including any sides/sauces. I came here on a Monday and got the Monday AYCE wing special. The AYCE made it more worth it but still a bit pricy at $31 per person. For AYCE, it comes with fries or tater tots, a sauce, 10 wings, and some carrots and celery for your first order. After that, you get 5 wings per refill. The wings were a good size though the skin wasn't really crispy or anything. I tried buffalo, lemon pepper, and flaming honey mustard. Buffalo and lemon pepper are my go to flavors but I didn't really enjoy any of the flavors I tried. There were an overwhelming amount of flavors so it was a bit hard to choose on the spot with AYCE but now I wish I tried some different ones. Our waitress was pretty nice and checked in on us a good amount. Overall, I felt like the food was just okay, and for the value made it less good. My rating is a bit higher because of the service. I might come back to try some other flavors since this is such an iconic San Diego chain.
