Look at this! Day 2 of me posting a review consecutively, lol.
Now.. Onwards to the food....!
We've tried the Encinitas location (once) sometime last year and was quite impressed. Little did we know, one was about to open up on our stomping grounds (Convoy).
It's clear the restaurant just opened. In fact, the worker we spoke with mentioned it had just been a few weeks since its opening! It's bright and clean inside, with massive and comfy seating booths. They also have a self-serve kiosks you can order through. One of the main inconveniences I see for this location is parking. To be specific.... there are currently: a Japanese dessert place next door, a Japanese restaurant (ramen/yakitori spot), a Starbucks, and, of course, this place (side note: I've been to all these restaurants and they're all solid!). Plus, it looks like there's housing units being built right next to this complex where Dixieland used to be (RIP). Get the picture?!
Looking beyond yet another complex with not enough parking spots...
The food itself is delicious, but it doesn't come without flaws. We both got the OG Crispy Burger. In the Encinitas location, however, we had The Plain Crispy Burger. Interestingly, I prefer the latter. I found the thousand island sauce in the OG somewhat... clashing with the savory-ness of the burger. I do think Crispy burger is a lot like The Friendly (which is a HIGH compliment).
For sides, we ordered Crispy Crazy Fries and small (onion) rings. The Crispy Crazy Fries is tasty but I wouldn't be ordering it anytime soon. Although, I suspect it is the perfect munchy meal. It's massive and perfect to share. The onion rings fell a bit short. We found the batter just slightly too thick/too much "bite." If you prefer that, then this is for you!
The staff were efficient and amicable. Easy 5/5.
I do think we would come back here again soon. Their hotdogs and shakes have peaked my interest and I'm hoping they'll deliver. They also have a "burger bowl," which could be perfect for those that may be cutting calories or doing keto.
Hurry and come check out Eat Crispy Burger before they become too popular!!!
