"Crispy wings with no bad pieces. Boneless are a little small for how much it is but still good taste. "
"Our food was not only poorly made but it was incredibly overpriced for what we received. We asked for the 20 Wings to be cooked extra crispy and they were just rubbery skin and slimy Hawaiian sauce. Just gross. We ordered a large side of carrots and celery and got 3 thick carrot chunks and 3 pieces of celery for almost $7. Maybe it was just the worst employees working that night but we'll never order from here again."

Consistent quality. In eight years I've never had a single complaint about the food. The prices are high but Im willing to pay. Dont know what they do to make it so delicious! I get mine on toasted sourdough with provolone lettuce and deli mustard. Last meal worthy. "
"Phenomenal. 5x better than Jersey Mikes and 10x better than Subway. Couldn't eat it all and I'm glad so I can have it again later. Got the #8 Deli Club Sub: Ham, Turkey, Roast Beef & Swiss with extra onion and mayo and they actually listened.

"The chicken was delicious but it's so incredibly overpriced that we only order it once or twice a year. Eight small pieces (1 whole chicken with rice and beans is $38. ) But yes, the marinade is good and flavorful. The rice and beans are completely standard fare. Nice soft tortillas."
"Everything delicious today. I had gorilla soup with lots of chicken and they give you the trimmings to add before you start eating
I had the double chicken bowl and lots of chicken and it was great portions of everything. Really e noted the flavors. Avocado salsa is my fav and they are most generous to the quantity you ask. Chips and salsa come with both dishes. Great add on. My tummy is happy. "

"Their ham & Swiss on Rye is always the best sandwich in San Diego County, and the reason is that they use quality ingredients. And not a small part of this is the fresh locally baked bread they pickup every morning. And then, their pasta salad is always a high point. It's soooo good. I frequently crave this food order, and I have since 2002!!!
Thank you!"
"This is the best deli ever! I am obsessed with their pasta salad. The roast beef was so tender. My only critique is that I asked for BBQ sauce on the side, which they did. But they still put it on the sandwich which I didn't want. This will be my go to deli from now on. "

"Yea ima just say it they got the best California Burrito in all of California. I cannot think of anything they could improve it's just a perfect burrito. It is a few dollars more than other taco joints but you get your moneys worth it is a large burrito. Tortilla is fresh and toasted to perfection, they use actual diced potatoes that melt in your mouth with so much flavor and without being greasy at all, the steak is seasoned well and has a nice sear to it, they use high quality Mexican cheese that stays melted 30 minutes after it leaves the restaurant, they also use real Mexican sour cream with the perfect amount. To top it all off all 3 of there hot sauces are perfect and the best ive had. You are missing out big time if you havent tried this place "
"Tortilla Soup is the best I've ever had. it's full of fresh veggies and is a good amount for the happy hour price. Chicken Taco (One Piece) did not come with the rice and beans and drink that it said it would. Taco was good, but needs to be priced different for one taco.

"We literally order Ferny's at least once per week, and anytime we try a different shop for burritos, beans, and rice, we wish we would have ordered Ferny's. The beans and rice are perfectly cooked and seasoned. We usually each get a Crispy Potato Taco as a starter, and then we have part of a burrito. I get the Pollo Asado Burrito with some additions, and my hubs gets the Chicken Chipotle Burrito. The leftover burrito, Side of Beans, and Side of Rice become a whole second meal!
