“First time here as I was just visiting in town. Food was fast to come out and staff was very friendly. I got a slider and tender combo both hot. Was kinda heavy on paprika but still oddly sweet. Not my favorite, but I think I'd like it a lot more if got a more mild flavor or even spicier depending on what seasonings they use. The chicken itself was very moist and well made. I'd definitely come by again if in the area.“

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.“

“RT remains one of the best Fried Chicken sandwiches in SF. From the pickled slaw mix, to the perfectly toasted bread, to the perfectly fried chicken, to the portion size, to the custom BBQ and hot sauces, it earns the price.
But you would be daft NOT to try the rotisserie as well, which was moist, roast, and simply solid. Fried Chicken still clears.

The other genuine winner? The steak cut fries. It's hard to find a more well done fry chip - wedgey size, golden brown, perfect fry.

AND free refills on the pure lemonade.

They got the high culinary quality in a lowkey casual environs DOWN. 76yo Asian Mother-approved. Actually, not just approved - *praised.* That's seriously an accomplishment to impress such a critically discerning audience.“

“I can't remember the last time I had fried chicken that was this good. They make it to order so it takes a little longer. But it comes out hot and crunchy. The chicken itself is juicy, they must brine it or something. I also think their story is pretty great.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“
