Will recommend to anyone if they ask if theirs a good chicken restaurant. It became my favorite place if its my turn to choose to eat out.“

“Great friendly service by the staff at cashier. He explained the options thoroughly as they were many. After we made our request he suggested us to switch to a different option for better value. I really appreciate his tentative approach. We enjoyed the chickens very much. Temperature hot and crispy while the meat was juicy. We waited for a fresh batch of muffins and they were excellent. Will go back to try other options next time.“

“Oscar and his team accommodated our large group almost immediately, making what seemed impossible possible at the height of the Friday afternoon lunch hour. We especially loved seeing the Pride flag hanging high. Thank you, RT Rotisserie Team!“

“Awesome spicy chicken sandwiches that I’ve been eating for almost a decade.

The Bird is definitely not a date spot or sit down fancy place.

But, if you’re looking for a fast and convenient solid choice on the go or for a casual night out with friends, The Bird hits your mark.“

“Okay wow. My kids love this spot and I never tried it bc I thought it was just whatever but I finally ordered a single tender for myself to see what the hype was all about and it was so good!!! I got mild which is just a tiny kick but not where you need to find water and it was so good! Amazingly crispy even after waiting after I had driven home to eat it and the pickles and super soft slice of bread was the perfect complement. The batter is very tasty with a hint of sweet and the chicken itself felt like great quality and wasn’t dry. Okay I get it now! Will order myself some food the next time the kids ask for this!“

“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!“

“The well-prepared food, attentive service, and home-style ambience of this restaurant are its standout features. The daily presence of an enthusiastic owner who displays interest in his clients adds significantly to the positive atmosphere of this establishment.“

“Overall, it was a pretty good first impression. I ordered a mango habanaro chicken sandwich meal. I was impressed at the size of the chicken. It had plenty of sauce and was flavorful to the last bite. Majority of chicken sandwiches fall flat for me but not this one. The fries tasted off, like they were cooked in an unfamiliar oil. Free refills on your sodas! I didn't see a public restroom.“

“Edit: 1 year later and this place still slaps, 5/5 consistently for the past year.

Really like this place. The price is fair, food is simple but well made, good options for good veggie sides, salads, and chicken-centric mains. The brussel sprouts are crazy good.“

“My go-to spot when I want fresh, solid food!! 🌯 Great portions on the burritos — and the one in the picture is just the regular size… imagine the upgraded burrito 👀🔥

I’m always trying something new there and it’s always worth it. Super friendly staff!!

Cons: the chicken can be a little dry/tough sometimes… and maybe throw in a few more chips plzzzz 🫣🫣“

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

“This place is great! Staff was cool, food terrific and they support Meals on Wheels. Super place!“

“Jollibee is a well-loved fast-food chain known for its sweet and savory Filipino-style flavors. Their Chickenjoy is crispy on the outside and juicy inside, especially when paired with their flavorful gravy. The **Jolly Spaghetti** stands out for its sweet sauce, hotdogs, and cheese, making it unique compared to traditional spaghetti.

The **Yumburger** is simple but tasty, while the **peach mango pie** is a crispy and sweet dessert favorite. The food is affordable, filling, and usually served hot and fresh.

Overall, Jollibee offers delicious comfort food that reflects Filipino taste, making it a great choice for a quick and satisfying meal.“

“I had a really great experience at The Bird. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with attention to quality. The burger was juicy and well-seasoned, and the fries were crispy and perfectly salted. The portion sizes were satisfying without feeling overwhelming. The staff were friendly and efficient, even when it was busy, and the overall service was smooth. I also liked the casual but modern atmosphere, which made it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal either alone or with friends. The ordering process was simple, and the wait time was reasonable given how popular the place is. Overall, it’s a solid spot for a high-quality burger experience, and I would definitely come back again.“

“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.“

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.

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.

“Stopped by this place during my Audio Tour of the Bay for a bite. The food was incredible and fresh. They offer a wide variety of food options, including different types of meat and vegetarian choices. Everything was hot and fresh. You should definitely come today.“

“I've ordered from them many times - they have special deals every week. I really love their Tuesday deal where you get a family bucket for ten bucks and eight pieces of large chicken nuggets. Sorry, I don't know which part of the chicken that is - it was written on the poster but I forgot. I'm a huge fan of spicy food, including their spicy chicken sandwiches - those are my favorites. The food comes out super fast, literally in less than three minutes. They give you a lot of sauce too. My friends also really love their Mountaindew“

“Maybe it was just me but today the service was very poor, all the employees look bored 🥱, and the customer service match the ambient, so bored that you can actually fall asleep there. I just grabbed my order and left right away.“

“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“

“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.“

“Food - Everything tastes fresh and what you'd expect from Popeyes, albeit occasionally a little too salty. I've never had any issues.

Service - Reasonably fast. It's a very small shop, so expect to wait a bit when it gets busy. It was originally order via kiosk only, but I think the cashier can also take your order now.

Atmosphere - It's a takeout only location with just a bench for waiting. Pretty clean“
