29 Best Chicken Restaurants near El Cerrito

“Five stars. Highly recommended when you need a quick bite!
Serving up a perfectly cooked bit of chicken for El cerrito locals who love chicken sandwiches and sliders, the staff here is very nice and respectful.
The employees (especially the ones working tonight Monday September 8th) are great! There should be a tip jar to tip them!“

“Came on a saturday when it was fully packed expecting my order to be messed up or food not prepared well but I was shocked to see that the food was absolutely perfect, got everything I wanted and the customer service was definitely a huge plus did not expect that level of service especially on such a busy hectic day. Thank you to the workers who made such delicious chicken and had such a positive attitude“

“The rice at the bottom of the bowl. That's all I have to say. The drippings of the chicken just sink all throughout the rice and pools at the bottom. And it's the BEST part. The roasted chicken was also way better than I expected. Usually the roasted chicken skin at other places is soft but this one was perfectly crispy. The chimichurri was also really good.“

“This place survived COVID and it's not easy to run a restaurant in SF.

Why? Food tastes good and the price is reasonable.

Try it out and taste it yourself!

Ideal for takeout, but they provide wipes as well.“

“I was invited by a close friend who is a frequent customer, and to my surprise I was very satisfied. The food is excellent and customer service (Lia) is so helpful. Please give her a raise, you have a awesome employee in her. I will be back.“

“Pollos is a great place for a good breakfast/brunch. There's never a long line because it's not a fancy brunch place. You get to sit down immediately instead of waiting an hour
They do make great omelettes and scrambled eggs. Prices are good too.“

“Better than Seoul Sausage and they won the Great American Food Truck Race! Perfect balance of spice, sauce, and crunch. The outside is amazing and the Parmesan was a nice touch!“

“RT rotisserie doesn't need my praise..... it seem like they have at least two possibly a third coming, up and down oak st. So they're doing things right and I just wanted to add my two cents. I got the pork belly bowl with the chimmy sauce. Cooked rice, cooked pork belly cubes, fresh mild raw an pickeled vegetables sliced and shredded of course sauce of your choice. It was just thrown together in a bowl. But here's the thing, every bite was to my liking how do they do that? Makes me think they know what they're doing.“

“Great chicken sandwiches! The curly fries are decent but unremarkable, and were mostly small pieces. The interior music is loud and the bass is cranked up, so eat at the outside tables to take your food to the park across the street. Not a fan of the 5% fee on top of taxes, just show us the real prices please!“

“That was one of the best burritos I've ever had and I've had a few. Fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, sauce bar! Customer service was friendly and helpful. It was my first time there and I will definitely go back. Nothing like a delicious tasty burrito!!“

“Now that its near me, i am in trouble.“

“I’ve seen Gus’s all over Southern California, but I’ve never seen a location in the Bay Area

The food was really good. Chicken was extra crispy and had a lot of flavor to it. The two piece is probably the best go to item. The pieces of chicken are big and juicy. They season it very well.

The chicken sandwich is a good go to for eating on the go. I thought it was a little dry, but I still enjoyed the sandwich.

Staff were cool and friendly. They brought us extra napkins and sauces. They created convo and were cracking jokes. Cool guys.“

“We come here often, we like jolivee, but unfortunately we came here one weekend evening at about 8pm they were closed cause they ran out of chicken??!!! That was shocking. But over all the chicken is great. They also sometimes run out of white rice too!“

“I had ordered their flamin mac bowl (mild), It was more on the dry side. I think if they layer their sauce and cheese on the fries, it would've been better. I believe they smashed hot cheetos crumbs which was just a small amount and no heat at all. The chicken was moist and mac and cheese inside was decent but bowl itself could've been better.“

“This amazing little fried chicken joint is easy to get to, right across from the SkyStar wheel at Fisherman's Wharf.

There aren't any seats, and the place is often blocked by the hop on hop off tour buses.

They have a small but tasty menu. The fried chicken krunch box came out hot, packed with flavor, and juicy. The cole slaw was creamy and nicely seasoned. The double decker burger was a big burger that will definitely hit the spot.

All in all, if you're looking to grab a great meal to go, this place is absolutely worth checking out.“

“Great food new fried pickles“

“I don’t make it a habit to buy fried chicken from a gas station, but I might start! It’s like KFC and Popeye’s, but less stuff on the outside, more chicken on the inside. Very lightly spicy. And now they have COLES LAW! Buy gas, buy beer, buy fried chicken to go. Thanks, Mike, for bringing me. After my second visit, this quite possibly is “America’s best-kept fast-food secret.”

If you choose to give a thumbs-up ?? or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

Parking: a few parking spots on site, and free street parking on side streets.

Kid-friendliness: it’s a gas station, so….

Wheelchair accessibility: wheel in wheel out. The ordering counter and the paying counter would be a slight challenge.“

“After 2 years of being closed, the Appian Way location is back open for business. The food was hot and fresh and the customer service was on point per the usual. I was happy to be one of the first returning customer on re-opening day. Welcome back to the neighborhood.“

“I am thoroughly impressed with the Krispy Krunchy Chicken spot located inside my local convenience store. Its close proximity to my residence makes it a convenient dining option, enhanced by the availability of various snacks and essentials within the store itself. The staff at this establishment are efficient and courteous, ensuring prompt service without compromising on quality.The chicken here consistently exceeds my expectations, always cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. I am particularly fond of their honey mustard dipping sauce, which adds a delightful tanginess to the crispy chicken. Additionally, the jambalaya stands out as a highlight on the menu, offering a perfect balance of spice and flavor.The honey biscuits and honey blueberry biscuits are delectable accompaniments to the chicken, while the potato wedges are a hit with my kids for their quick and satisfying snack. Personally, I recommend the chicken tenders for their juicy tenderness and exceptional taste.In conclusion, Krispy Krunchy Chicken provides a delightful dining experience with its flavorful offerings and efficient service. Whether you're in the mood for crispy chicken tenders or a spicy jambalaya, this spot has something to satisfy every palate. I highly recommend giving it a try for a truly enjoyable dining experience.“

“My favorite KFC NO1 TO MY FAMILY CHICKEN GOOD DELICIOUS & GOD BLESS KFC FRIED chicken NO1 IN CALIFORNIA HAPPY HOLIDAYS THANKS U$$$?“

“I been here many times and bought food here. Every time I been there I seen the restroom with an out of order sign but the only ones i seen go in there to use the restroom are the employees. I ask to use the restroom after I had purchased some food they said no that it's out of order... If there restroom is out of order and no customers can't use it then isn't it a violation ??“

“I've been to many different locations for rooster and rice across San Francisco. This had been my first time at this location and it was nice. It definitely was given a corporate lunch location as it's under office buildings. They forgot to add a few items to our order. The food always delivers though, especially if you order the traditional dish.“

“Got the 8 pieces of dark meat, and it was surprisingly really good with crispy batter and a little spicy kick. It's even good the day after, reheated in the microwave. Definitely coming back here when I have that fried chicken craving.“

“THANK YOU! I have ordered late night from the Melt and received a ridiculous Cobb salad. Paid a ton of money and they left out all chicken, bacon or onion and I swear put in someone's old grilled cheese as croutons. So I tried Mixt. Boiled chicken instead of crispy and no cucs. Then I ordered from here and you restored my faith. Seriously thank you. Exactly what I ordered. It was delicious as well. THANK YOU! Just wanted a salad that I ordered and finally got it“

“As an assassin, I don’t normally eat the flesh of anything that bleeds because it would dull my senses that have taken me many years to hone. However, I recently had a great chicken sando here, and would highly recommend. Support local businesses!!“
