19 Best Chicken Restaurants in San Francisco

“RT Rotisserie absolutely delivered. I had the half chicken and it was perfectly roasted and super juicy on the inside with beautifully crispy skin. The flavors were simple but executed flawlessly. And the chipotle yogurt sauce? Next level. Creamy, smoky, with just the right kick of heat and it elevated every single bite. This is comfort food done right, and I’m already looking forward to coming back.“

“in san francisco airport of all places, you can get a good combo, authentic fresh ingredients prepared pefectly, for 24 bucks all in. high end Restaurant quality for almost fast food prices in an airport. Lol you wont find another like this“

“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.“

“Awesome place to gather with neighbors & have amazing food & beers constantly changing. To me joining the Taproom club was a no brainer!! Keep in mind it can go from empty during the days to slammed by early evening- great place to chill with friends inside or at outside tables 5 ⭐️“

“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!“

“Food was good, I got a half chicken and it was little on the cold side. Next time I would ask for something a little fresher. The brussel sprouts were awesome, however I would have asked to have them put the topping on the side, it was a little much. Overall not bad. The price was right The service was very friendly.“

“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.“

“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“

“I want to give a shout out to Maria Carter the short girl in the front. Last week on Saturday she help me order and told me what’s the best deal is there. I really felt good about what I ordered and saved money. Also she was very nice to me and my family. We need more people like her.“

“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“

“I’ve had my life changed today by chicken tenders. Gluten free chicken tenders to boot. THESE chicken tenders is what all chicken tenders want to be when they grow up: crispy, fluffy and flavorful breading, hugging a juicy, tender chicken strip that has NOT been cooked to death.
Praise be.

Mind you, the chicken tenders are not always this mind blowing.. sometimes they’re so tough that you could totally best an Elden ring villain with it. BUT today they were.

Whoever was lovingly and masterfully frying those chicken tenders on March 2nd, 2026, around 2pm: I hope you feel loved and appreciated, I hope you know that your work makes a difference for at least one person.“

“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?!“

“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❤?“

“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.“

“nice , clean and delicious“

“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“

“Quite a lot of waiting for a fast food establishment, in both ordering and for our food to come out. Wouldn't come here in a rush but my friend and I didn't mind waiting. We just ordered a large fry. I am confused on why it took so long to come out as usually fries at fast food places are pre made, but maybe it meant they were somewhat fresh? They tasted great though! Really crispy and flavored. Had that unhealthy deep fried quality that's hard not to love. Upstairs seating area is nice and quiet.“

“This is mine, so I'm kinda prejudiced! I love love love my T . Bell!!“
