Chicken Shops in San Francisco, CA

“Last Saturday we ordered a lot of food from the melt. The whole crew was working overtime and we all ordered multiple items and the crew absolutely killed it. Lady working the cashier was absolutely amazing. Sweetest lady ever. The cooks were amazing and they have a very good crew working. The only names I received were Mar, Janeka, Dom and Tone but everyone was incredible and we definitely will be back.“

“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.“

“Grace was able to help me get a sandwich right before boarding. I asked “I’m boarding in 5 min, can you make me a sandwich in 2 min” and she worked super quick to help me. So grateful for her. Got my sandwich quickly and efficiently all thanks to her. Thanks grace!“

“Wow I’m amaze how the taste of their wings and fries I love it a lot. Just glad my sister take me here and the lady allow us to bring her dogs. It was such a nice gesture. Will definitely come back for their wings and will try their burgers

Food: Excellent
Service: excellent
Atmosphere: excellent“

“Had a great experience here! The food was delicious. On top of that, the cashier/crew member was incredibly friendly and welcoming which made the visit even better. Great food and great service make this a place. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Came here twice for lunch, and the food has been uniformly delicious. The service is friendly. At lunch time several tables were occupied by single dinners talking (loudly) on their phones for most of the meal which is why I bumped down one star for atmosphere.“

“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 pollo a la brasa was delicious, juicy and the portion was generous! Great vibes, very family friendly and good music- we even had live music! The staff, especially Vanessa was very friendly, fast and helpful. The bathroom was very clean and easy to use. Will be coming back!“

“amazing food very understanding staff it was very busy but very worth it

it’s important to note tho it’s seat yourself so if it’s busy i would recommend getting take out/to go bc you might not have a seat“

“Four stars because they clucked up one of the things we ordered. The Cali Cluckwich came with no tempeh bacon or avocado added on, and we didn't have time to get it fixed because we were crunched for time on a work lunch break. Without the cali ingredients added, it was a plain old classic cluckwich. Other than that, taste-wise the food was good. Also, I've always loved the customer service at the San Francisco location, the employees are always so happy and friendly. Hunny Hickory TenderClucks were delicious. I chose all fries, no slaw, and it might have been the largest side of fries I've ever got at a restaurant. Updated from previous review on 2023-08-07“

“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.“

“Best bbq pork, roasted duck, and beef stew in the city. The tea eggs are also super good and savory that we can't get enough of. The staff are super kind, energetic and provide excellent services. My favorite place to come back to everytime i visit the city“

“I’ve been a fan of the Roost for the last few years - I’d order from them most weeks when I drove into my office. Their food is amazing… you can tell so much care goes into each meal they deliver.

I just found out they opened a new cafe as well and can’t wait to see it!

Thank you team for making the best food! If you’re reading this and want to know if it’s good - try them out, you will love it!!“

“Simple restaurant with nice delicious chicken and rice and is very filling! Came here and was treated kindly by the staff. Despite the space inside being small, I liked it. There’s really only tables for up to 2 people. For reference, I ordered The Original. The KMG sauce makes all the difference. Overall, very positive experience!“

“Buen servicio y pollo fresco y caliente!!“

“Parrot Pizzeria stands out for its ability to deliver clean and healthy options without compromising on quality. When looking for a reliable alternative to the standard menu, their chicken and vegetable dishes are consistently well-executed and fresh.
The standout, however, is the mashed potatoes technically perfect and a must-order. For anyone prioritizing high-performance nutrition and transparent ingredients, this spot is a strategic choice in the neighborhood. Efficient, healthy, and highly recommended.“

“Solid all around experience. Food was well described ordering at the counter. Dining was comfortable in the cool retro decor with perfect playlist to match. Food was excellent: Caesar was perfectly balanced in textures and flavors. side braised greens shined with ginger and bold seasoning. The “bay sauce” was sweet, spicy, tangy and aromatic with fresh Thai basil, over super tender well seasoned chicken. It’s not your classic heavily dredged coating, so as long as you’re expecting a less greasy thin crisp coating you’ll be pleased. Even the rice was seasoned with delicious subtle flavors I couldn’t name. Devils food for dessert was super moist and balanced. Loved the drinks too.

Beyond the flavors on the plate and the nice atmosphere, this will be a return stop for me because of the ingredient quality. Fruits and veggies from top Bay Area farms, Koda rice, dandelion chocolate and I believe thoughtfully sourced proteins as well.

The all day hours mean I’ll be back for lunch soon.

Thanks team!“

“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.“

“The bird is the word!!!!!“

“We had the Chicken Burrito while drinking beers at the Laughing Monk Brewing- both were very delicious! Great flavor in the burrito and a good amount of heat! The owner was so thoughtful and even asked us if we were enjoying our meal when she delivered food to other customers. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“A friend mentioned this place after another spot flaked on me, so I decided to give them a shot. They actually answered the phone and got everything sorted out, which was refreshing. Grew up in nearby Elmwood, so it's nice to have reliable places around here.“

“Salads are soooo tasty and ethics are great too ... go!“

“so good! Much better than I imagined! The staff didn't seem to handle it well when it got busy, they were incredibly slow at first, I wasn't thrilled, but it was definitely worth the wait. Very nice people and very good food, although if we're honest I would probably avoid the rice bowls as they are a bit torn. Get the tacos and I'll have to try the BBQ chips, but I think they'll be delicious“

“In fact, the place is more for takeout. However, there are 3 tables outside where you can stop by and eat there.

The food is very light and tasty. They have a medium version if you think the medium version is too much food.

They also serve chicken broth as a side dish.

It was great for me because I just wanted something light and nutritious.

The girls provided great service since I didn't know all the dishes at the restaurant, so The Marina was a good option.“
