Chicken King

The spicy chicken sandwich is tasty, but couple of bites had gristle in it, not a big deal. My sandwich was prepared hot and fresh, including cheese, crunchy pickles and a mild spicy sauce. The folks are nice and professional, but some of the other customers is quite interesting.

Great place to grab lunch. The chicken is good and service is good as well. The area is a bit challenging. The restaurant was broken into the day before I visited.

The chicken was thick and flavorful, but unfortunately, it was overly salty, which overshadowed the taste. The mac and cheese had a creamy look but ended up resembling mush, lacking the texture you'd hope for.

Best fried chicken, hands down. I can't lie as a SF native when I first seen the address I was tad bit apprehensive but happy I gave it a try. First and foremost staff was very welcoming and let me take time to review the menu. Establishment was clean, no sticky floors or tables. Now to the good part the food. I had the three piece chicken and when I say each piece was seasoned and fried to perfection. I melted like butter from the initial bite. It has been so hard to find crispy fried chicken that's not dried out, the moisture. Chicken was chefs kiss. The biscuit!!! Warm and soft, I felt like I was in my grandma kitchen. I was beyond satisfied and will be a returning customer.

Delicious very crispy chicken. I had a spicy chicken sandwich and six chicken wings. Easy selection of sauces. And fruit juice canned drinks that were delicious

Terrible service! Today I walked almost a mile from my hotel to try this place out. I was harassed by a couple of homeless ppl to arrive to a locked door. The glass door was shattered so I wondered if something happened causing them to close because I saw food in the warmer but no one was visible. I called the phone as a gentleman came out of the bathroom. He was drying his hands so I assumed he washed them, which is great! However, he did not acknowledge me & answered the phone instead. I inquired whether he was open & he said “no” so I asked what time they closed. He proceeded to explain how he had to go to the bathroom & was the only worker there. Obviously confused, I was prepared to leave when he opened the door. I told him I was confused because he said they were closed. Seemingly perturbed, he expresses again that he’s the only one there. I left it alone. He used a piece of cardboard to prop the door open, pulled his hair back & asked what I wanted. Since this was my first visit I hesitated. He abruptly walked to the kitchen telling me to let him know when I was ready. He returned with his apron. I ordered chicken & asked how many sides came with the combo. He told me I could get as many as I wanted. So I asked if the combo came with sides & he said no. At this point I became irritated because his curtness persisted. Finally, I added the sides. Without an explanation he simply walks to the kitchen again to actually “cook” the sides or maybe just warm them up on stove. After he bagged the food he asked me multiple x if I wanted ketchup. I said hot sauce only which seemed to surprise him. So I confirmed that he made the two sides I requested. Instead of answering the question he responded that he got what I asked for. I asked 3 more x to receive the similar responses never answering the question. Finally I told him never mind & I didn’t appreciate his attitude. He was clearly unbothered. Oh also, when he initially got the chicken he did not clean his hands again or put on gloves until he made the sides. That door was filthy & his hair looked unkept. I was sure his finger touched a piece of chicken. Can’t say how the food was but it looked appealing. I definitely would not return here to find out.

AMAZING! Don’t let the Sketchy neighborhood keep you away! (Tho someday I hope the neighborhood gets better or they find a better spot.) That is no reason to come to this restaurant. As the other reviews said, made fresh to order. Worth the 15 min wait. Chicken tenders were thick and juicy yet perfectly crunchy on the outside without being greasy or over breading. Mac n cheese is home style and so cheesy. Honey biscuit was fresh and fluffy and delicious. Great food and customer service and good price! Would definitely come back next time we’re in town.

Not a bad spot at all - best part was the service - I wouldn't mind supporting great small business service like that any day - chicken is made fresh which makes all the difference, but do prepare for a long wait - I'd order over the phone before picking up - there's only a few seating in there if I remember correctly - Highlight is the skin - very crispy with little fat - they forgot my biscuit so I wasn't able to try that and they also ran out of mac-cheese so hoping to go back one more time to validate
