I would leave zero stars if I could. I love crispy crunchy chicken, but it's gotta be from the gas station crispy crunchy chicken in Richmond. The crispy, crunchy chicken we just got from the Berkeley location is the worst fried chicken I've ever had in my life. It's super dried out obviously over cooked. As well as the fish. There is no fish, it's all batter. It's awful. Please don't go here. Do yourself a favor and go to the one in Richmond. It's totally worth it. Best chicken I've ever had!

Still one of my favorite chicken restaurants it's name speaks for itself. Every bite is Krispy (crispy).I recommend it to anyone who wants chicken for dinner

Sad sad place. I would leave a really bad review. But it's not worth it. This place is just not worth ever stepping foot in or going near. Operating out of the liquor store to give chicken. Praying for them they are rude mean sad. We are Californians guest first courtesy kind. They are obviously NOT!! Praying for them.

Freshest fried Chicken in Berkeley. Quick service. Clean tables and floors. Friendly servers.

It's not the krispy krunchy recipe

Quite disappointing on many levels! 1. Health issues.. men with beards cooking and not wearing proper covering 2. Nothing special about the over priced burger. No flavor. 3. $2.00 for a slice of cheese! Really? 4. nearly $14 for an average size burger and a soft drink. Without fries. Many other better choices.

Mainly the 4 stars are for the young ladies working at the front & the Krispy Krunchy Chicken. I can't rate the burgers here because we didn't have them. However, the wedges are very good & a nice sized portion. Also, they have the fountain soda machine (Pepsi) with the flavor shot options as well as an iced tea selection. The place was clean & pretty well organized. They weren't at all busy when we were there. However, they were accommodating. I ordered a 2-pc dark. For some reason they were out of legs, but she offered me another thigh in its place. Hubby had 2 breasts and before I finished my biscuit had downed them both! It's the original chicken you'd expect from "Krispy Krunchy" and the service is great.

I had high hopes because I heard from a coworker that it was really good. I got a nice range of items to try and thought two of them were worth it. I really liked the biscuits which were slightly sweet and had a nice rich buttermilk taste. They were perfectly crumbly and went nicely with the dark pieces of fried chicken. I was impressed by the slightly spicy Cajun flavor and made the over cooked fried part more forgivable. It really would be incredible fried chicken if it was just cooked a bit less. The chicken sandwich wasn't worth it and the tenders had a nice crunch but had no flavor or seasonings. The wings seemed like the frozen ones from Costco and were just okay. I hope this place gets better because it has potential!
If this review was based on customer service, it would be 5 stars. The person that took our order was so sweet. She was obviously new but she was awesome and super patient with us. I came with a friend, she said her food was 5 stars. Mine, however, was 2 stars at best. Under burgers they have a turkey option, which i ordered. I have trouble finding turkey burgers as i haven't eaten beef in 4 years. I order the turkey burger but turns out, it's a grilled turkey breast on a dry a** wheat bun. And it comes with like 8 fries. All for the hefty price of $15. I could've saved my money and went to McDonald's on the corner of drug addiction and university.

Saw the Krispy Krunchy sign and my mental GPS steered me in. The chicken has always been a favorite gas station and liquor store cuisine for me. Once inside, I found it's a burger joint too. However, my mission is the Extra Krispy food group. 5 pcs of wings and a fountain soda came to $10 and change. I don't recall if it's same price as gas stations. Seemed pricey. The wings were as expected. Crunchy and moist inside. Not greasy. Tapatio was on the table. All was good, but I'm going to stick with KK as road trip food. I saw the market next door also sells KK, but they don't have any to sell.

Customer service was good and quick. The chicken sandwich was disgusting. Dry meat, weird and soggy tasting bun. YUCK! Upside, the rootbeer was great.

I can't believe that I just waisted 5 minutes of my life trying to order a 8 piece chicken "special" from this restaurant. I go there every other week and have been going there since the place opened. I ordered an eight piece "special"because that's the way I ordered it the first time and I believe it was on the menu as such. However, I went in this morning to order the eight piece "special" and the person says we don't have an eight piece "special". I say the one got $11.99. So she goes into the register and says oh we have a eight piece dark but is $13.10 (that's $11.99 with tax). I realize it's just chicken but this is the same thinking (or lack of) when I asked a young lady did they have stamps and she said no we have stickers or the girl at Kentucky fried chicken who told me they didn't have drumsticks but they had legs. HELP! This is getting serious!! Thanks for letting me vent!
