I never knew I needed a cone full of delicious chicken tenders in my life until I stumbled upon Chicken'nCone on my way to Petco Park. It's like they knew that walking to a baseball game works up an appetite, and what better way to fuel up than with a portable cone of crispy, juicy chicken goodness?Not only is Chicken'nCone conveniently located on the way to the stadium, but they also have a variety of sauces to choose from to take your taste buds on a flavor journey. I personally recommend the spicy buffalo sauce for an extra kick of heat that will have you cheering in the stands.

Had a sample of the chicken. Was nice and tender actually but wasn't feeling a full meal this round (no fault of CNC). I definitely need to come back and get a proper meal here! Had the milkshake. As far as banana milkshakes it was good, no complaints. Little waffle bits to fit the theme, nice crunch if that's your thing! Nice enough workers, take these 3 stars as a high 3!I need to come give the second review. Im a sucker for chicken sandwiches!

This is basically downtown so parking can be tricky. Warm greeting when walking in. Freshly made waffle cones and they chopped up chicken and sauced up and put it in the cone! How fun is that? Very unique and tasty eats. If you're ever in East Village or just feel like swinging by for a fun bite to eat, this is the place. They also have a fun green backdrop to take Foodie photos and plenty of seating.

This fried chicken vendor has opened up in an East Village suite about a block north of Petco Park. There is also a San Marcos location in North County under different ownership. The inside of the suite had a predominant color of orange which seems to be common for fried chicken places. There were enough two-top tables and countertops to seat about 30 customers.The menu concept was pieces of fried chicken served in a different vehicle (waffle cone, sandwich, bowl). Tenders can also be ordered along with three different sides. Three milkshakes and some drinks rounded out the offerings. I picked the namesake Chick'nCone without the option of upgrading to a meal. For a pricey $11.49, about a dozen pieces of boneless fried chicken were placed inside a large waffle cone. One of six sauces came with the order so I chose the Cinna-Maple.A chicken tender was cut into chunks and inserted into the cone. Neither the chicken nor the waffle cone seemed to be freshly made as they weren't as crispy as they could have been. The quality was average for their signature product, therefore I gave three stars for my order at Chick'nCone.

Finally it's open. I've seen their sign for awhile and always wondered if they'd open. I love chicken and waffles so it's a great concept. Chicken in a waffle cone instead of ice cream. BLUF- it was okay. I think I have to try them again but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way for them especially with the downtown parking situation. I went in the evening after the baseball game. I didn't really feel like having their iconic chicken in a waffle cone because it seemed like a lot of food so I opted for the chicken sandwich. I decided to go with their spiciest flavor Peri Peri. It was more on the mild side so if you are looking for Spicy, it's not it. The chicken was fresh and juicy but lacked in flavor for me. The flavors mainly come from the sauce and the chicken sandwich didn't have enough of it. For the chicken sandwich with peri peri sauce, I feel like it would've been better if the peri peri was like the Nando's perinaise sauce. The bun was a typical brioche bun. For ~$15 for a chicken sandwich meal with tax and tip, I expected better. My friend tried their chickn cone at foodieland and she liked it. The cone is def the way to go because you can dip your chicken in the sauce and they use Krusteauz waffle mix. Service- it was good. The employees were friendly and brought my order to me. Ambience - well decorated and I love that they know the neighborhood is dog friendly so dogs were able to come in. It also smelled like waffles. If you do try them, ask for sauce samples so you can pick one that you know you will for sure like.

Was on my way to work in Gaslamp this fine Saturday evening and came across this super cute spot. Everything is perfectly themed orange and white and it's damn near spotless with all new furniture.. After chatting it up with Carla, the most engaging cashier, the owner Vanessa came over & introduced herself. We chatted, exchanged pleasantries & took photos. Couldn't decide which sauce I wanted but definitely wanted a sweet & savory taste so they gave me a sample of the yella bbq. It was exact flavor I was craving. . I ordered the chicken sandwich combo meal with the aforementioned sauce, Cajun fries & a Starry Lemon Lime soda. Everything was made to order, warm & phresh. . Like big girls are supposed to, I ate all of my food. Am open to trying their chicken waffle cone so I'll def have a return visit! .#supportlocal & get you some food that's So Clucking Good.

Food was delicious and staff was very friendly. Love the closeness to Petco Park. Visited before a concert for a quick bite to eat since all the other bars and restaurants around the stadium were packed. Was delightfully surprised

We stopped at Chick'n Cone while in town for a conference. I had the namesake with Peri Peri sauce, my wife had the crispy wings, and my daughter had the plain tenders. The Chick'n waffle was great - the cone was a little softer than you usually get with ice cream, which I think worked a lot better. The Peri Peri sauce was excellent - a little sweet with just the right amount of heat. Also the service was great.

The service is one of the best in San Diego and the food is cluckin' good! If you are near this place, hesitate not! Grab a bite and you will be more than alright! The chicken sandwich, fries and shake (strawberry and vanilla) is on point! Thank you Vanessa and Tegan! You both have won me over. I'll bring back the team!
