17 Best Chicken Restaurants in San Francisco

“Had no idea what I was missing. Ever go to a place and after your first bite you realized, ‘hmmm, guess I never really had a good chicken sandwich before’…? My eyes are open people, this place is worthy, period. Had the Sally Hurricane’s Southern Fried Chicken…and now I’m content in life. Give this place a try, plus the prices are way reasonable. Almost forgot…guys…get the fries!!! You’re on Keto? Get over it and cheat, totally worth it.“

“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.“

“Do yourself a favor and come on down and grab some chicken. I felt the instant hospitality from Will While other coworkers were jampacked busy . The Employee Will didn’t hesitate to make sure that my needs were met during the rush-hour amazing service.“

“I was grumpy that my people were dragging me here and I was WRONG. It. Was. AWESOME!! Food was great. Drinks were great. People were great. 10/10. Get the fried chicken. Or the wings. Or the rice bowl. Or the brussels sprouts. Or anything; they’re not here to disappoint.“

“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!“

“Buen servicio y pollo fresco y caliente!!“

“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“

“Very good food! Pollo very juicy and flavorful. I am glad I got to try this delicious food! 🔥💯🤝🍻👌🙌 this will be my dinner spot until I return to Arizona. Gracias“

“5 stars for Paulette with the pink hair. She went well out of her way to help me to figure out how to order one of the specials that were apparently only offered if ordering from online. She still managed to serve several customers with ease (as she was also helping me with the website glitch) that were coming through during the process. Otherwise, had I ordered the same box from the counter, it would have cost me $5 more! She went above and beyond what is considered good customer service. I can only imagine how any people that come through everyday with the same issue. Paulette is fantastic.“

“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?!“

“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 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❤?“

“Chicken sando bomb, 3 piece fried chicken is bomb!!

If you are looking for a good crunch on your chicken this is a good place. Tons of options for sauce, sage fries is the way to go.

Employees are super accommodating!“

“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.“
