“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.“

“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.“

“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?!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
