Chicken Restaurants near Emeryville

“I really appreciate this KFC for being one of the few truly accessible drive-through spots in Oakland. It’s easy to get in and out, and the staff are always patient and respectful — that goes a long way.

The food’s consistently solid, too. The biscuit with gravy is my favorite — warm, simple, and satisfying. The three-piece chicken tender meal with fries and a root beer always hits right.

It’s just nice to have a place that feels dependable, both in service and food. Thanks to the team here for keeping it that way.“

“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!“

“I had an amazing experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken thanks to Raquel! From the moment I walked in, she was welcoming, friendly, and super patient while I decided what to order. She explained the spice levels clearly and made sure I picked something I’d love.

The food was fresh and delicious, but what really stood out was Raquel’s positive attitude and great customer service. She checked in to make sure everything was good and made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming.

Employees like Raquel are the reason I’ll definitely be coming back. Dave’s Hot Chicken is lucky to have her!“

“Tried it for the first time yesterday. We’ve walked by many times during lunch, thinking it was just another fast food chicken place…..finally gave it a try. It was excellent and staff was friendly. Chicken was fresh and crispy. They have many spice levels to choose from. Medium was plenty hot for me. The chicken tender was great, but the sliders were even better. Totally recommend this place!“

“The fried chicken sandwich and tater tot’s are wonderful.

Went here off a recommendation of my son who works close by. What a find. The food is freshly made to order and the chicken patty is deliciously unique. Not a raising canes, not a chick fil a. It’s makes its own name with a seasoned breaded crispy batter that is sliced into strips. Almost like a chicken fried steak.

The chicken goes really well with the mayo and slaw so that is how we ordered it. And would do it again.

Happy hour all day on the weekend so make sure to get a loaded tator tot (nacho cheese, bacon, and green onions on top).

All in a, a fun spot to pop in and get some food. Dining area is limited, but there is also seating out front.“

“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!“

“Attentive service, great prices for the area, excellent quality. I really enjoy a great neighborhood spot, and Pollo's is exactly that. Interesting blend of Mexican, American breakfast and burgers, and Greek. Best breakfast burrito I've ever had.“

“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.“

“Buen servicio y pollo fresco y caliente!!“

“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 🫣🫣“

“Decent Fried Chicken Sando, dipped in paprika-heavy Nashville Hot Chicken style sauce. Though tasty, the chicken subsequently looses its crunch. Curly Fries are your standard, good for dipping in ranch and buffalo dressing.

Good when in the mood for some stick-to-your-ribs grub in Hayes Valley.“

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

“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.“

“Ellie, thank you so much for the great service.
We were initially disappointed that the syringe ran out for the fall out collab, but your attentiveness and care truly made our experience worthwhile. Everything was delicious, and you turned the moment around for us. We really appreciated it.“

“Spent a cold day around fisherman’s wharf— walked past and smelled fried chicken so we stopped by. Did not expect to eat the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Not to mention affordable— the worker put in a few extra and that really warmed my heart. Thank you guys“

“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.“

“Fresh & hot & Wasn’t a long wait“

“Great food new fried pickles“

“first time trying the Chicken sandwich it was good 👍👍👍👍“

“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.“

“when I'm not in the mood to cook the first thing I think about is going to them.“

“Ok, I really want to give them 5 stars, but it's gas station fried chicken y'all, 😆 so it can't get 5 stars. The chicken is unexpectedly delicious! Perfectly fried, no batter, just flour and amazing seasoning. Has a slight acidic, spicy vein running through the seasoning. Really quite satisfying at 2am when the bars close, or buy a bucket for Sunday picnic. It's a franchise, so you can find it in most cities, at least in California. But again, it's in a gas station convenience store, so it's not a dine-in, seated meal. Some of the best fast food out there! I mean, who doesn't crave fried chicken every now and then?!“

“Mac and cheese and tender“

“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.“

“Every visit I’ve had to this restaurant has been such a positive experience, especially thanks to the wonderful team members—mostike to mention one particular team member, who I believe is a Hispanic lady. From the moment I walk in, she always has a warm smile on her face. She even remembers that I like to order fresh batches, and before I can say anything, she already tells me it will be about 15 minutes. Alma is fantastic in customer service and the rest of the team“

“I like the chicken here ots just as good buying in person as it is being delivered. The pieces are big, food is always hot when I get it. They could do better on the sides tho. They are too small in size and the Mac n cheese needs more seasoning aka more flavor. I just get the 8 piece chicken and I got my own sides. Overall it's really good chicken and I will continue to eat at this spot. I love chicken so this 1 is right up my alley. FYI the biscuits are really good too especially with the honey and butter they put on it. Happy Clucking and Frying❤?“

“The food tastes great and at a good price! :)“

“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 believe this restaurant is under new management. My order came out quickly, was very fresh and delicious, and they were very kind to me. I recommend this place; it's very clean and has a very pleasant atmosphere for dining. Congratulations! 👏“

“Food is always hot and tasty. They follow the recipe to a t. Drive-thru stays open till 10 pm. Always a line but moves pretty quick.

Parking: There is a lot where you can park.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“

“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.“

“Tasty 👅 and the okra is my favorite especially my go to“
