    I can't speak to how amazing the customer service was here. The owners are absolutely wonderful and the food possibly even better!

Their in house beer is also a 1000000/10 This place needs to be on every billboard every street corner everywhere Everyone needs to know about this spot Literally the best damn food Safe to say it's going to be a hard one to resist when in the area every Saturday and Monday The customer service is on a whole new level The staff is so kind and welcoming This place deserves 20 stars so so so good Thank you guys!!!!

    Note: not a dog wash...this is a food establishment!…read more Hidden gem you should put on your list. Interesting location but not quite visible on first glance. Tucked away in a small plaza next to a hotel. If you like root beer...then it is a must have and try. Served in a frosted mug (pictured). They have other handcrafted sodas. We had the Fuji dog, French dip, chili cheese dog, garlic fries and ube chocolate chip chip cookie. Delicious! We can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. So many different toppings on fries, sausages, gourmet dogs, burgers and sandwiches still to try! They have a kids menu and dessert as well.

    It's hard to find parking in the area. The service is fast though. Clean indoor dining area…read more There's a Coldstone next door and Regal Cinemas is conveniently located right beside this spot as well, so I'd say, optimal location. The food was hit or miss depending on what you order. Both wings was pretty good and crispy. Everything was made to order, so it came out hot, just the way I like it. The #2 Cajun sausage was perfect! The #1 original, was not it. The meat was not good. I couldn't even tell what kind of meat it was due to it's poor quality. The #16 sweet potato mozza's coating was delish, but the mozzarella on the inside was not completely melted. It fell out like a chunk. The only part that was melted was the bottom, but the batter there was soggy. This was our first time here and will most likely be my last. Not worth it.

    Right in the middle of downtown, Oceanside is one of our more unique food establishments in the…read morecity. This is my review on Zzang hotdog & chicken. Zzang hotdog & chicken is the Korean hotdog spot that is located in the Regal theater shopping plaza. They offer a variety of corn dogs & fried chicken. They also have a plethora of sodas, drinks & beverages that aren't widely known. A Korean street hotdog is essentially a corndog with glorified toppings & can also be made with a cheese interior. Typically, a hotdog will be placed on a skewer stick & then breaded in various toppings, such as fried potato chunks or rice crispies & then it is fried & drizzled with various sauces. This can also be done with cheeses, such as mozzarella. What you have is a great Korean snack that has aspects of salty, sweet, savory & spicy, all depending on the flavor combinations you chose to build & top it with. Also, on their menu is squid ink & various styles of fried chicken. In my experience, their fried chicken is actually very delicious and very crunchy! What I like the most about their menu is that it's affordable and everything has remained under $6 for the last 4 years. I feel that the only downside to this establishment is that it is a little small inside. But if it ever gets crowded, you can sit outside in the plaza tables that are shaded. ZZhang Hotdog & Chicken is very popular with the younger generation & with the military, and it is probably due to their affordable menu, fast service and definitely their location. I recommend trying here at least once when in the downtown Oceanside area.

I was not particularly craving a burger or a hotdog, but I assumed this place was in a mid-point price range. This spot is located in the charming town of Vista, small and walkable. There's an outdoor dining area that's very nice when the weather is nice. I'm only giving this place three stars however, because I think aside from the nice dining area, it's pretty average. There seemed to be only one person working the front area when I arrived. We had to order off a kiosk. Two burgers and an order of tater tots came to about $40. That seems a tad high to me. The order came out wrong -- we ordered avocado on one burger but it was added to the wrong one. The food was decent if a bit salty. We had to wait like 20 minutes for our food, which seem weird for fast casual. The burgers -- at least the one I had -- was tasty. The Hawaiian bun made the burger particularly nice. But it wasn't anything to rave about or to crave later on. Bottom line, I think service here is a bit slow, the prices are a bit high, but the food is decent and overall your experience will be completely average. Solid three stars.

We couldn't decide what to order, and the person who helped us was super patient and nice. Everything was clean, including the bathroom. It's not a huge space inside, but there's outdoor seating, and it would be a fun spot to come with friends. We also noticed a lot of people coming in for pickup orders, which is always a good sign. The food did not disappoint. My husband got the Haus burrito and added sausage for $0.91--totally worth it. I ordered the buffalo wings and they were amazing; I'd definitely get them again. My son loved the chicken strips and fries too. I also really appreciated that you can pay in-store using the InKind App--it made everything super easy. Overall, a 10/10 experience. We'll definitely be back!

    This was highly recommended by my daughter so I thought of giving it a try!…read more I love cheese sticks so I got a Jumbo hand dipped cheese stick with pepper jack and a Jumbo hand dipped corndog for my hubby !!! I didn't chk the price but WOW!!! $9 for EACH???????? When I got my order, the hand dipped batter were like kind of over cooked to the point that they were burnt and batter was bland and burnt side was so bitter to the taste. I went up to the cashier and asked if the corn dog was the way it looked like burnt... and he replied "yes" ... but its bitter to the taste. So he willingly exchanged or replaced another cheese stick ..... but it was still burned !!!!!!! At this point I didn't want to waste my Jumbo cheese stick so I ate and finished it !! Hubby had a small bite of the Jumbo corn dog then it accidentally jumped off the table and rolled to the sticky floor ! When I was trying to get up from my seat ... bench was so sticky but i had to leave and I really don't want to stick around !!! It was a sticky situation !!! Being my first experience here the rating of 2 stars are for them replacing my cheese stick ! I will have to think twice about coming back here .... BUT the Western Bacon hot dog LOOKS YUMMY and so are the other hot dog sandwiches !!!! It might be a while for me to give this business another try in another location! I think the corn dogs are too pricey for $9 ... I don't mind paying that much for the quality of food I am getting!!!!

They're both kind of burnt but one is more burnt. Very bitter taste of the batter (very dry too). Showed the guy and complained about the taste. Guy said that's how they do it. I'm not coming back and pay $9.00 for a burnt cheese dog. Hot dog on a stick at the mall taste way better. Corn dog tolerable burnt and batter not too dry. Asked about their mojo sauce and was answered rudely "There's the description right there" pointing at wall poster. (We were actually asking for a sample to taste and eventually given a small amount) Not a good service at all. One star for replacing burnt cheese dog with another burnt one. Don't care about this place. Food and service not good
