The Crack Shack - Encinitas Reviews from The Last Year

Any place that puts their crappy reviews on the walls of their restrooms *and* lets me bring my dog to lunch *and* has some pretty solid food and bar offerings gets a full five stars from me. Well played, folks.

Meaty, saucy, crispy, and loaded chicken sandwiches that will blow your clucking mind. Located in a moderately sized and busy mall, The Crack Shack definitely sets the vibe. With outdoor seating, games, and self serve sauce stations, it's very family friendly and inviting to people and dogs of all ages. Soak in sunny San Diego and have a meal to remember. Their menu is quite simple consisting of chicken sandwiches and fried chicken. We ordered a few of the sandwiches to share and a few nuggets to taste and we were beyond full. Each sandwich is filling but the tangy sauces keep you wanting more. And before you know it, you've overeaten and need a nap. At the sauce station, you'll be able to get a helping of ketchup, pineapple mustard, sriracha thousand island, Baja hot sauce, or ranch. Out of all the sauces, the pineapple mustard was by far my favorite. It just went well with everything! The prices can be a bit steep but these aren't your typical chicken sandwiches. They're loaded and made well with great tasting ingredients. The chicken nuggets (non-spicy) were $1.50 a piece and aside from just trying them, it may be a bit too pricey for normal meals. Coop deville - the typical combination of ingredients you'd expect from a classic chicken sandwich but executed phenomenally. Senor croque - this dense sandwich has a hint of sweetness and keeps your mouth watering for the next bite. Pollo soprano - chicken loaded up in a sandwich roll; this one was a big one! Mini cluckers (nuggets) - crispy and pretty meaty. Great finger food for the kids but a bit pricy. Good for dipping sauces! Mini biscuits - these were really tasty and fluffy. Went well with the butter that came with them but also great for dipping that extra sauce from the sandwiches. The staff members taking and fulfilling the orders were great at communicating expectations and making our first time experience a good one. The food was packaged neatly and maintained a delicious temperature. Overall, if you're a fan of fried chicken and chicken sandwiches, you'll be a fan of The Crack Shack. This location was pretty easy to get to but they also have one near downtown San Diego. If you have kiddos or dogs, let them roam near the giant chicken outside while you indulge. The Crack Shack will have you coming back!
Not sure which salad I ordered, it was so good.
I've also ordered the chicken tenders and they were very good too. I'm obsessed with the bar seating because it's spacious and in my opinion the best spot. You can pretty much people watch and socialize from all angles. Great place to bring the kids! Plenty of space to bring your family and friends to enjoy an early afternoon. Service is good, a little reserved, but good.
love love the Baja chop salad with chicken.
I get the small portion and it's a perfect lunch, plenty filling. Love the dressing! ..... the cookies are really good too!
I'm sorry, I don't see what the buzz was about.
The chicken was DRY, the coating so crisp it was difficult to break through. The coleslaw, with pickle, just wasn't my thing but some may like it. The mini biscuits were nice. A little loud but if you're there with a group probably OK.
Plenty of chicken options for kids and adults, plus tasty
Plenty of chicken options for kids and adults, plus tasty beers and great ambiance for kids to hang out in the outdoor area with a sand pit. Order up front but can always grab more drinks at the bar and staff is super friendly and accommodating. It's on the "regular" rotation for good family place!
Dog friendly.
Decent food. Patrons wait in line to order our own food. Noisy. But friendly crowd and servers.
just ok.
..not much better than Popeyes or Chik Fil A but twice the price. the female food runners are kind of stuck up...just dump your food off..no thank you or ask if you need something else.
Husband purchased food through Uber eats and the chicken
Husband purchased food through Uber eats and the chicken was uncooked fully. Will not be purchasing again. Update: I emailed to the crack shack and no response was given but hope staff will be mindful in the future so no one will have food poisoning.
Always good.
Encinitas or Little Italy, they are very consistent in the taste. The chicken is always juicy and perfect.
Amazing food and great atmosphere for families! Highly
Amazing food and great atmosphere for families! Highly recommend the biscuits. It's easy to order for pickup which we do often.
Fast service.
The employees are very friendly and helpful. Almost all the food was excellent. The biscuits tasted a little too prepackaged, not a flavorful homemade taste. But all the dishes were tasty; half a fried chicken, ground chicken sandwich, breaded chicken sandwich and the tenders. It was my first experience there and I will definitely be going back. I also loved the exposed wood beams and paneling at the Encinitas location. I will try the Vegas location in a month or two.
The food is always fresh hot and delicious.
I truly appreciate the customer service at the front of the establishment. This review is for the crack shack off of Encinitas. This is my go to spot headed back from San Diego to LB.

Crack Shack is my go-to place for chicken sandwiches in San Diego. My favorites are Firebird, Cali Drip and Double Clucker. I am big fan of their shakes as well, specially the Ube Shake and I don't want them to remove it from the menu ever!! I also like that it is a huge place with a lot of seating options.
Pretty good food with plenty of options and a surprisingly
Pretty good food with plenty of options and a surprisingly large bar. It takes a swing at pleasing everyone and succeeds for the most part. More family friendly than genuinely good, but there's always something for everyone. The pros include lots of seating, outdoor and indoor ordering, and gluten free and veg options. (But come on you're going to a chicken place). All that being said I don't love it. My food is always meh, while my daughter loves her fried chicken and that's always a win.
I associate Crack Shack w Richard Blais from Top Chef,
I associate Crack Shack w Richard Blais from Top Chef, which is pretty cool. It's high quality food inspired by Southern charm. Definitely have some rustic industrial features inside that's trendy for Insta-worthy selfies and group photos. It's located right off Encinitas Blvd, has plenty of parking, a full kitchen, bar, dining, and a play area for kids. You have to order and pay up front before taking a seat and there was a bit of a line when we got there around 2 pm Sunday. Definitely elevated compared to other fast foods such as Popeyes or KFC, but elevated comes w an elevated price. We ordered organic and gluten free fried chicken which is doused w quinoa instead of their alternative oil and batter. The half bird consists of 5 chicken parts. To me, the fries are the best way part - crunchy and flavorful. We also ordered tenders and fries as well for my brother in law. They offer a 10% military discount, which is always nice. My only con is that we ordered a full bird (10 chicken) but only received a half order. We called and they refunded that part of the order.
This place was great.
It had everything it had a sand pit and it toke the kids away to have some time to talk with my husband.
Delicious and great atmosphere for a family meal! Love the
Delicious and great atmosphere for a family meal! Love the doggy board and pets welcome!
I really like the food here! The only downside is it is
I really like the food here! The only downside is it is crawling with kids. I don't mind kids at restaurants but it really does feel overwhelming and the parents just let it happen. Parenting kids isn't the restaurants job but when you pay $60+ to eat somewhere I don't want to hear kids screaming or bumping into me.
A fun spot
We have been to The Crack Shack several times and it has always been fun although it is a bit expensive and overpriced. It is fun for children and is very dog friendly. If you are there without children sit at the bar for faster service.
Call Drip was the Bomb!
The Cali Drip was amazing. The chicken was moist and tender. The strawberry Cookie Crunch shake was tasty and refreshing.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
