Ali's is the go-to for chicken and waffles in San Diego! My son introduced me to their combo number 2, paired with the irresistible Ali sauce and coconut syrup. The chicken strips were wonderfully seasoned, and the mac and cheese is a must-try... Can’t wait to return!

If you’re craving Southern comfort food, look no further than Ali's Chicken & Waffles! Located in Donut Star, this cozy spot serves up some of the best fried chicken in San Diego. I tried the combo number 2 with Ali's special sauce and coconut syrup - truly delicious! 😋

The chicken strips, seasoned to perfection, paired brilliantly with the creamy mac and cheese, which is a must-try!

While the space is small, the service is outstanding, and I recommend getting your meal to go. Perfect for a quick bite or a tasty brunch! Can’t wait to go back! 🍽️
