We ate at bar because we could order food there and watch the bartender make some really tasty and exotic tropical drinks. otherwise we would have ordered outside at the entrance. I don't usually try wantabe tropical drinks except with in Hawaii but here I did and was glad I did. Not particularly expensive. Delicious and nature. Sugary syrup (hate that filler crap) was a minor ingredient. My wife said her traditional margarita was also very goodm. The menu is chicken, chicken and... chicken. But many choices and the two choices my wife and I had, the chicken sandwich and the chicken tenders were both excellent. And the fries which came with the tenders were awesome good and more than enough for two. Be hungry. All the portions are good sized. The neatest thing about this place is that its large large and enclosed but technically outdoors. Means you can bring the dog in your family too and many do. Though it was a really chilly, depending on where seated, during our visit during the first week of January.
Got the Powerbowl without quinoa and a side of coleslaw. This place is fantastic. The bowl had juicy, flavorful chicken, avocado, a perfectly cooked soft egg, and punchy, tart pickled onions. Great value and really delicious. The coleslaw was a bit spicy, but creamy and tasty, and easy to eat around the peppers. Love this place.
Best chicken joint around. Drinks are pretty good too. Kids enjoyed playing in the sand area
Crack Shack Encinitas is a bright and airy spot with an open indoor outdoor layout, high ceilings, and lots of natural light. Very clean and very family friendly. We ordered the Large Flock meal with chicken tenders for 5 adults and 3 kids, plus extra fries. The portions were huge and we could not even finish all the chicken. Everything was fresh and flavorful and the cookies were delicious. Service was great and the staff checked in on us often. I love the hand washing station and the dog friendly setup with water bowls, though a lower sink or small stool for little kids would be helpful. The design has a relaxed barn vibe with wood interiors and tons of windows. Noise is moderate inside, with some traffic noise from the intersection. Overall, it is an awesome spot for groups and families. I would definitely return
My s/o and I came because I was craving some good chicken tenders. So we got the chicken tender combo with fries and decided to eat there. Got every single sauce we could try but noticed we’d been waiting for a bit. A couple with a very cute dog came in 10 minutes after and received their food before us. My s/o walked up to ask and it was ready yet (we’d been waiting about 20 minutes and it was NOT crowded) - before I could express my dissatisfaction they compensated with two large cookies they make in house (they’re delicious). The tenders are very good, fries amazing. They say the meal is shareable (you guys should add an extra tender to even it out). Good ol Ranch and ketchup were the best imo. Not a bad spot! Very nice atmosphere and might try the bar next time.
The food was really good. The little biscuits were amazing! I got the firebird and it was delicious. We also tried the Don fries and it was also very tasty. I definitely recommend coming here and I'll be back many more times!
Order at the counter and then head in to take a seat. There’s quite a few different sauces to try and they are all pretty good, just depending on your personal preference. The food is pretty standard quality consistent with the other branches they have. Worth dropping by if you’re in the area.
Really good gluten free fried chicken option, the pineapple mustard sauce is awesome. The fries from Mexican Poutine were a little overly greasy, the sauce was a little too heavy too. Overall very chill place
We went there while we were on our way to the airport to head away from all of the delicious food that we had in the area. A pal had recommended it, and they basically had me at ‘chicken.’ Holy cow were they right. It was beyond worth the stop. We were initially confused at the order outside and eat inside setup - and a little sign would’ve helped with that. We just wandered on in and saying ‘Oop.’ Once we figured that out, and got over the overwhelming ‘maybe I should get that - or that - or that - or that’ menu, we found a table and really enjoyed the atmosphere. There was baseball on the tv, there were kids having fun, and when I went to the restroom - the wallpaper made me giggle. Oh - and before I forget, the fries were some of the most tremendous fries that I’ve ever had. I’ve had dreams about them …
First time here. We got the small meal for four of us and brought some home. Very simple menu. Choice of five dipping sauces. Great atmosphere ( watching the cars go by ). The coleslaw is fantastic. Good spice on the fries. Rugged furniture. A++ joint . 👍🏿👍🏿
Incredible fried chicken and huge range of beer in a large informal space with lots of natural light. The fried chicken is the main event and it doesn’t disappoint. The crust disintegrates with a satisfying crunch and spicy tingle, the free-range chicken inside is super juicy. A great range of self-serve sauces means you can drench the chicken as you please. The ranch is insane, the pineapple mustard and bbq are also very good. SAUCE HACK: I would recommend mixing 2/3 bbq and 1/3 pineapple mustard to make a Chick-fil-A style sauce. Goes down so good. The sides were also amazing - both the fries and mini-biscuits were divine. Great place for a group, couples, or solo at the bar watching sports.
First time trying Crack Shack after hearing so many good things about it and I’m happy to report it met my expectations. Split the “Katsu Lookin” sandwich and the “Senor Croque” with a friend and they were nice enough to cut the sandwiches in half for us to share. The katsu sandwich had a delicious slaw and the flavor was super good. The other sandwich was very breakfast-y and I loved the egg and bacon. There were lots of kids and families seated inside which made it very lively but not too loud thanks to the high ceilings. Yum!
Absolutely delicious restaurant. Definitely top notch chicken, which is ethically sourced from great farms. Prices are good & portions are fair. Their fries are tasty & have lots of sauces to choose from. Fast service with very friendly staff. Overall a great place to grab a bite.
From the service at the front, to the food at the back. Everything was awesome. The facility is a open concept with a bar at one side, and tables and chairs at other. They are dog friendly and have outdoor seating. Great selection of awesome sandwiches and tasty beer!
Great place for chicken! They specialize in this food variety and their menu is simple, cost effective, yet provides great variety and use of the protein. Their sauces are banger and their service is efficient. Shoutout to Dean for giving good recommendations and making us feel welcome at the counter along with fine tuning our orders for the best experience. They also offer a variety of local beers and modern cocktails. Their seating is expansive and have fire pits and live sports along with bar seating for longer nights out than just dinner! Won’t hesitate to come here again when I’m in the area!
I am from LA. While driving I saw this place was packed, looked online for menu. At first I was scared as I never like chicken meat in restaurants, it always taste so bad and sticky as I prefer fresh poultry. My partner was hungry so thought to try. My my my so good and fresh, the fact of food is it’s not spoiled rotten or doesn’t have any foul smell. It’s fresh crunchy juicy with pickles and fried onions sooooo Yummmmm! Though the place was full It was quick didn’t wait more than 5-10 minutes. Came to know that they have locations in LA. Iam excited to try there next. Service was 10 on 10. Love it! I wish you have more locations here in LA too. And definitely recommend this place and will be back soon!
Been meaning to try this place for years. We were there on a cold night and appreciated the heaters since it's an open air restaurant. Enjoyed our meal. Cool vibe. Nice they had a hand wash station in middle of eating area. Prices were affordable. Cashier was friendly and helped us decide what direction to go.

You literally order outside and are presented a number. When I return and have a small party I will skip that and sit at the bar. There you can order and get “normal” service. The restaurant is large and bright with an indoor/outdoor feel and potential. The food is good. We ordered the whole bird 4/5 (perfectly cooked and nicely spiced just not the best I have ever eaten) and fries 4.5/5 (order large they are addictive). The beer selection is solid. Wine by glass or bottle in each main variety. Craft cocktails.
I hate to leave a review like this since this has been one of my go to spots. But moving away and coming back to less flavor, chicken that is dry, and portions that have shrunk is very disappointin…
Nice little spot right off the freeway. The atmosphere is very lively and has a fire pit outside when you wanna eat outside at night.

The sandwiches were tasty and unique and I got to have gluten free chicken tenders!! The dining room opens up like a barn so there is ample “outdoor” seating.
Chicken is wayyyyyyyyyyyy too greasy, prices are crazy. Don't go. Not worth the wait in ông
This is one of the most expensive places, it's not even a luxury restaurant, to go pay $53 for a hamburger, some potatoes and one and two soft drinks. This is very expensive.

*****RE-ADDING BECAUSE THEY CLEARLY DELETED MY REVIEW. That explains the 4.5 rating. I was very disappointed with this place. After getting off work, I arrived in a Lyft to meet my son and friend. My son had a small Chick-fil-A bag with him, and the woman at the front counter rudely told us no outside food was allowed because it was a restaurant. I understand the policy, but her tone was unnecessarily condescending. To make matters worse, the chicken tenders were terrible—part hot, part cold, and served suspiciously fast. The batter was pale and undercooked, not golden and crispy. I only ate the fries. I regret spending $25 here.
