Chicken Shops near South San Francisco, CA

“The chicken sandwich is so large and delicious. I had the level 3. Pretty spicy, but then again I crave the heat. Next time I’m doing the level 4.“

“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“

“The chicken here tastes SO FRESH AND JUICY!!! I ate here years ago and did recently again. The food is deliciously made with love. The staff are friendly and smiled as they called you over to help you. The place is very clean and tidy. Nothing left on tables or any spills from sodas left behind. Good sun views out the window of the busy street. It was a lot of construction in the area and the smell of that chicken is calling you to come eat asap. It's also close to the freeways and lots of shops. I will definitely go by there again if in the area. Food is fresh, hot, fall off the bone good. Sides were fresh as well. Thank you KFC staff at this location and keep up the good work.❤️??

Parking: Free parking“

“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.“

“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.“

“There’s something different about The Melt in San Francisco. I went with my family and ordered the Swiss & Shroom Double—and it was so good! But beyond the food, what really stood out was the atmosphere. It felt like being in a familiar, welcoming place.

What made it even more special was when Skinner came over to our table. We chatted about the restaurant, about San Francisco… and he even offered us some chocolate chip cookies!

We’ll definitely be coming back. It’s great to know there’s a beautiful, peaceful, and family-friendly spot like this in San Francisco.“

“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!“

“Lunch at The Roost is one of our favorites in SF. As a pescatarian, this is actually the ONLY chicken I eat, anywhere - and it is delicious. The adobo seasoning is fabulous. Cole slaw has a unique flavor that I wish I could replicate at home. Do try the sweet potato croquettes, but leave room for their brown butter cookies!“
