Chicken Restaurants near South San Francisco

“I’ve always wanted to come to a Starbird and today’s finally the chance to visit.

🍔Food: I got their new Indian Hotbird chicken sandwich. I can give it a 9/10. The sauces balance each other out w/o having 1 dominating the rest in terms of flavors. Spiciness level is about 6/10 on a general scale. The raita in it (yogurt-based sauce) and the cucumber let the fried chicken taste without too overpowering. The bun is also pretty good. The only downside is that the chicken is not fresh-out-of-fryer temperature and not as ‘authentic’ or moist as a Popeye’s, but the overall dining experience far outweighs the competitors.

🌽Elote corn side: highly recommend. Again very fresh & balances out the grease from the fried chicken.

Environment: Waayyy better than those regular fast food chains. Very bright & uplifting with ample lighting and light music.

🅿️Parking: parking can bit a bit tricky. Basically you need to stick close to the apartment building and drive into the parking lot whenever possible to avoid going over.

Would definitely come again whenever I have a chance to try out their salad/fries and more!“

“Awesome yummy kids really love it. I love chicken jollibee and fries pineapple juice and mango juice“

“On 9/24/25 evening hours, I was assisted by Tony the cashier. Such a great professional young man, who I observed greeting customers as they walked in. Tony was friendly, efficient and super professional but also very polite. I wish more establishments had employees like Tony!“

“Had fried chicken, wedges, mash potatoes and gravy with biscuits. Everything was good. Original chicken was like the old days. The employees (especially the lady cashier) were friendly and notify us on the wait time on the big order. Will be back again.“

“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.“

“Keith’s was TASTY! I ordered the chicken and waffles. It was delicious!! My wife ordered the catfish & shrimp, she LOVED them both. She is Cajun from Louisiana and finding a taste from home on this side of the bay is a challenge. We also had the sweet tea, another taste of the south with the fresh brewed black tea sweetened with sugar cane syrup. We lucked out on seating as there are only 3 tables- 2 with seating for 4 & the other with seats for 2. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Love Foghorn on Balboa! It's my husband and I's favorite spot to go to after work to grab beer and a bite to eat. The craft beer list always has great options and if you're a chicken fan, this place is for you. Their chicken sandwich, wings and tenders are so delicious! They also have Nashville options if you're looking for some heat. The atmosphere is awesome, it's a casual, laid back spot thats good for groups, bringing kids, and/or just grabbing a cold one with a buddy!“
