Cracked & Battered

Decent breakfast spot. Fried chicken is surprisingly tender and moist. Loved it paired with their hollandaise. Cold brew was also surprisingly floral. Service is quick. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it's worth stopping by if you're around the area

Made the trek from the peninsula to SF for Sunday brunch at Cracked & Battered and it did not disappoint. The wait was not too long (although it took some time to find the person taking names to add to the wait list). Food was hearty & delicious (but not the place for a light meal) and it's wonderful that they serve halal chicken. The service was also great, we had someone checking on us often. We sat outside and it was still noisy but too be expected for such a buzzing place. I just wish they served decaf coffee bc their coffee drinks looked amazing!

Have eaten here twice because the line at Plow was insane but have not regretted it. Had the shakshouka the first time and would give it a solid 4/5. It's a little on the lighter side, but still a solid meal. The CB plate tastes very good. I especially like the crispiness of the potatoes and the waffles were surprisingly soft and savory. The fried chicken is good, but was a little peppery for my taste. Would recommend if you're in the area.

This place was a huge letdown. After waiting 30 minutes in line (they said 15), we ordered the C&B Plate and Fried Chicken Benedict. It took 40 minutes for our food to arrive, and when it did, the eggs were wrong, and the chicken was missing. They gave us a small piece of chicken and what felt like someone else’s scrambled eggs to make up for it. To top it off, when I asked for hot sauce, they handed me a broken bottle that spilled all over my plate. The service felt careless, and the experience was frustrating from start to finish. I’m never going back to this place again!

Always get the C&B plate. Each part of the meal is distinctly good. There’s a big cluster of nice brunch spots all in this area and they’re all busy, so you really can’t go wrong; sometimes this is the primary, sometimes the backup, but whenever we go we’re never disappointed.

Amazing food and service, everything was as expected. The chicken was tender and juicy, waffles were fluffy!! Iced latte was the only item that missed the mark. Their Orange and carrot juice was very [FRESH]!

Started my Daughters 10th birthday by coming to eat breakfast here in the morning and I must say this restaurant isn't just a place to eat, it's an experience. The service is impeccable, with staff who treat you like royalty, making you feel genuinely valued. And let's talk about the chicken and waffles it's a revelation! The chicken is perfectly seasoned and fried to a delightful crisp, while the waffles are light, airy, and have just the right touch of sweetness. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our family of 5 went for our first meal on vacation… it was amazing!!! Our 2 and 8 year old shared the CB’s plate. It was the perfect amount. I also had the CB plate - 🤤. The chicken batter was so yummy and the waffle was so fluffy. My husband had the featured eggs Benedict and it was his favorite meal. The staff was amazing. Not sure if it was the owners or management but there were so many people that stopped by our table and were available throughout the meal. We would definitely go back! My only “wish” or improvement would be the finishing on the bench. It was completely worn out and didn’t seem super clean.

Food: delicious. We got some hummus, the Benedict and chicken and waffles! Service: beyond amazing, family run shop and and they're so sweet! Thank you for your hospitality and we'll be back soon! Ambiance: we had lovely weather and sat outside, perfect vibes!

Some things to consider - street parking You order off of a QR code. :/ I had to ask for the physical menu just because I'm not that tech savvy but ordering through the phone wasn't that bad. I selected scrambled eggs, but I received over easy eggs. When I asked about it the waitress stated I selected both over easy and scrambled so they gave me over easy. - if you see there was some sort of error or confusion you should ask the customer for clarity or fix the issue atleast. I didn't want to bother with it so I said it's ok, but little things matter. The coffee - Sakura Blossom 10/10. Odd placement of whip cream but was really good. Chicken is seasoned really well, kind of reminded me of KFC's original batter. Potatoes were golden & crispy and when dipped with their house hot sauce amazing. I mostly came here for the waffles but I didn't like how soft they were overall , I like crispy waffles on the outside and soft inside, but to each their own. I would definitely go back for the coffee, chicken and potatoes with their bomb house made hot sauce. Check them out !

Most of the time, when visiting an unfamiliar city, you end up trying to find that one restaurant that surprises you and delivers something new and awesome. Sadly, this almost never happens. Today, however, was the day lightning struck when our Waymo stopped right outside Cracked and Battered. The vibe was active and energetic. The many patrons were grouped and smiling. Several tables had empty plates with one patron absently running her finger across the plate in search of wayward hollandaise. That has to be a good sign right? We were greeted and seated in short order. The interior was well lit with natural light pouring in and the seating was comfortable. Our server was friendly and patient with my difficult hearing her. I ordered the fried Chicken Benedict and a cappuccino. I regret nothing! These choices proved to be exactly what I needed. The chicken alone would have been awesome, but with a perfectly poached egg and hollandaise, it was perfect... exceptional... outstanding... stellar.... Really, none of these truly capture my joy at this meal. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that this restaurant made my day! I left full and happy. Is there any better outcome?

Definitely not the best breakfast spot in sf. Service is not great, ambiance is decent (nothing special especially in comparison to other local breakfast spots), but the food is where the real issue came in. The food itself is decent, I'd give it a 6/10, but there was so many hairs in my food it was disgusting. I made the waiter aware of the situation and I'm not sure if this happens a lot or if she genuinely didn't know what to do. Her response to me showing it was "ew that's disgusting" "that's horrible I would hate that" as she proceeded to not give a resolution and walk away. The coffee was extremely milky and watered down. There was no flavor or coffee at all. Overall due to sanitary concerns, the restaurant not addressing the hair in my food. I would recommend staying away from here. It's overpriced and truly not worth it.

A busy spot so takes some time to be seated and for the food to come out. I don't know that I'd say this is a must have but the food was good. I tried the fried chicken Benedict. Potatoes were salted and cooked well. The fried chicken was nice, crispy on the outside and tender inside. Filling and decent size portion

TERRIFIC FOOD with the NICEST staff!! Sweet little unassuming casual corner spot with a super tempting menu that made it difficult to decide which yummy thing to order. I settled on the c&b breakfast which had a generous serving of fried chicken, delicious potatoes, four small FLUFFY pancakes with strawberries and PERFECTLY COOKED scrambled eggs. Everything was seasoned wonderfully!! It was one of those meals you wanted to eat at all, but there was just too much on the place to get it into your tummy!! Everything Truly tasted like a home cooking!! SO DELIGHTFUL AND ENJOYABLE!!!

Absolutely obsessed with this place!! They are BUSY but so worth it! Chicken is so easy to overcook and come out dry but I stg these were some of the juiciest chicken I've ever had! Service is nothing short of phenomenal considering how fast they turn tables. They're attentive and get you what you need quickly. If you like spicy get a side of their Nashville hot sauce!!

I made an impromptu visit here on a Sunday around 11 AM after discovering that there was a 2-hour wait at the place my boyfriend and I were planning to have brunch at. We were immediately seated at the counter upon our visit. As orders were placed through a website, there was no stress waiting for a server or feeling rushed to decide, which I greatly appreciated. The food did take a little while to come out, but it was completely understandable as the restaurant was packed at the time. We both got the C&B Plate, which came with 4 mini waffles, fried chicken, potatoes, and eggs. The portions were generous, and the plate was very satisfying! The star of the show was definitely the fried chicken -- perfectly spiced and crispy! The staff was very friendly, and the ambiance felt homey. I would definitely visit here again for another round of wonderful brunch!

My friend and I visited the Cracked & Battered in Marina first, but we prefer this location. The space was a lot bigger, which meant a lot more seating and generally we didn't feel like we were cramped (we also had luggage with us, so we wanted to make sure that we had enough space to put our luggage down). Also, they seemed to have a few more options here in terms of the drinks and such, which was interesting. We love that they serve halal chicken since my friend eats halal only. The portion they give is always great, and we got our favorites - the chicken and waffle and the chicken benedict. They even added strawberries on my waffle for free. We could also tell that the family who owns the place was there. One of the men kept checking up on us and chatting with us, which was very nice of him. They were also conducting interviews and just chatting with other patrons/regulars while we were there. Definitely a cozy brunch type of vibe. It is so sweet that they get to know their customers. The only con is having to walk up that steep hill to get here, but we love it nonetheless.

I came here on a Saturday around noon. It was quite busy in the neighborhood, but me and my party of 2 did not have to wait too long. I thought the place was a quiet little crunch spot in the neighborhood. There was also outdoor seating but we were seated inside. Service was 4/5. I thought the servers and wait staff were decent and we had a good experience while we were there. I would give the food a 5/5. I only tried the C&B Plate, but I thought it was delicious. It was the perfect mix of sweet and savory foods in my opinion. I thought the chicken was tasty and not dry. Normally I don't order chicken and waffles type of breakfasts whenever I'm out, but I was impressed by this plate. Fries were decent. If you're in the neighborhood, I would give this place a try!

We came here around 1:35PM on a Saturday and were seated immediately. For convenience, we ordered through a QR code and our food was out shortly after. There's plenty of seating and the place has a very clean and nice ambiance. I got the chicken and waffles. The Belgian waffle was extra fluffy and soft, and slightly crispy on the edges. The chicken was incredibly delicious--extremely crispy exterior with a perfectly seasoned batter. The chicken itself was pipping hot on the inside and super tender. The waffle was topped with a nice dollop of butter and fresh strawberries, and syrup on the side! Their portion sizes are huge, I was only able to eat half of my waffle before getting full. The quality of service was impeccable. Although it was near closing time and they were super busy, they did not fail to check in on us and make sure we were enjoying our meal! We sat near the owners' family and she struck up a very kind conversation with me and my friends. We ended up leaving in a great mood and we were super pleased with both the food and service!

Sunday morning at 10:15am, there was a line of 5 parties ahead of us. Outdoor table was immediately available, ~20 min wait if indoor. It was a bit of a dreary day, the sheltered outdoor table in the parklet didn't look so bad, so we took the outdoor option. Order through the app and the food comes out within 15 mins. Alas, since we were sitting outdoor, we didn't get any coffee top uo. Food was delish. The fried chicken is moist on the inside, crispy on the outside and perfectly spiced!! The waffle was swimming in butter and whipped cream, it was epicly yummy. Their seasonal cherry blossom latte was also delish. Husband who prefers his coffee black, didn't like it. But I, who prefer my latte on the sweeter side loved it. Will have to come back to try the rest of the menu!

Still our go-to breakfast spot in SF. Years later and it never misses. We've been coming here for awhile now, and the food somehow manages to be just as good (if not better) every time. It's honestly hard to justify trying somewhere new when this place exists. The fried chicken is crisped to perfection and full of flavor. The ricotta pancakes are soft, fluffy clouds with just the right amount of sweetness, and the scrambled eggs are always spot on, they're soft, never greasy, and delicious. Their fresh carrot orange juice is the cherry on top. It's bright, flavorful, and clearly made in-house. It's breakfast food done right consistently and worth the price. That's rare, and why we'll keep coming back.

Excellent service Small dining room Tasty food My only sadness was that the scoop of whipped cream that comes with the cold brew is very small for the amount of coffee

I visited with my family a few weeks ago. I'd been meaning to visit this spot for a while now, I heard they are Palestinian owned and wanted to support a local business :-) I went with my family on a Sunday morning, and was able to find parking right outside and was seated immediately. When a table by the window opened up, the waiter helped my family and I move over, which was nice. Ordering is done on an app, and I tend to prefer a physical menu, but we ordered with no issues. The food came out within 10 minutes or so. The food was delicious. We got the c&b plate (yummy, good variety), eggs benedict (probably our favorite out of the 3), shaskhuka (good, but found the portion a bit small--I feel like I would still be hungry), and an ube latte (very sweet, though I couldn't really taste the ube lol). It is quite pricey though ($80 total for 3 dishes and a drink ) However, our experience was derailed when we found a hair underneath the sauce of the benedict, quite embedded into the food. We were really grossed out by it as we had already finished most of the benedict ... and it did not resemble hair that would grow on someone's head .... :-( we waved a waiter over, and they swiftly took the hair away and that was it. We were in and out within 40 minutes or so. I had really high expectations and was loving it until the hair fiasco. I still want to try some other items on their menu, so I'm thinking about returning. Regardless, I think it's important to support Palestinian owned businesses :D it is unfortunate I had a bad experience, but it definitely seems like an outlier.

Came here on a Saturday about an hour before closing. There was a short wait but we got seated pretty quickly. I had the breakfast burrito, super good, and the sauce it came with was delicious. We also tried the chicken benedict and chicken & waffles, both solid picks! Definitely worth checking out if you're into brunch comfort food.

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Came here after my in laws tried the restaurant and enjoyed it over the holidays. I came with 3 other people on the Saturday of all star weekend. Originally we were quoted a 30 minute wait but it felt much shorter. It was a nice day and we were able to sit at one of the outside tables. It's on an incline so the height of the seats provided were a bit off but not super dramatically. It's super easy to order thru the QR code that takes you to their toast tab site. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Both of those items were so good. The waffle had the perfect, fluffy texture and amazing flavor. I appreciated that it wasn't too sweet and that I could taste the dash of salt in the batter. There's plenty of butter. Syrup comes out in a little saucer thing but you can ask for more. The chicken was seasoned and cooked wonderfully. It was super juicy too - it literally gushed out some fluid when I first cut into it. My dad, who is a big breakfast person, rated this as one of the best breakfast restaurants he's ever been to. Service was outstanding. Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel welcomed and cared for.

This small and cozy restaurant has great food! Cracked and battered was recommended to me by my friend who lives in SF. When we arrive there, there was a line and that alone will tell you they must have good food! The resto don't take reservations and that is understandable but also the reason why I cant give 5 stars. We ordered 2 of their bestsellers: the breakfast sandwich and the chicken and waffles! My husband was so impressed with the breakfast sandwich and I can't Agree enough because it was sooo good! The eggs were fluffy and the bun was sooo good but not soggy! My chicken and waffles hit the spot! The chicken was battered enough and not too much. The waffle's on the crispy side but still good. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We will definitely recommend this place!

This is one of our favorite places in the city. The restaurant is owned by a lovely Palestinian family who has an obvious love for high quality food made with care. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. My mother ordered the shakshuka and I ordered the chicken and waffles. My mother gobbled up all of her shakshuka and I was able to finish about half my chicken and waffles and took the rest home. The fried chicken was seasoned perfectly, with the right amount of crunch and juicyness. We will definitely be back again and again

Being from LA, I've eaten at the legendary Roscoe's Chix & Waffles countless times, and this SF spot beats them by a mile! Fluffy waffle topped with fresh strawberries and boneless succulent thigh covered in lightly crispy batter that's perfectly seasoned. Excellent courteous service too!

Food, service, and ambiance was phenomenal! When we arrived we were greeted by a friendly server who took our name and sat us after a very short wait. While we waited the owner passed us a few times and was super kind and friendly. We ordered the fried chicken egg Benedict, chicken and waffles, the carrot orange juice and the orange juice. I would recommend them all! The golden potatoes were perfectly salted and spiced with the right amount of crunch without being burned. The servers were very friendly and considerate with us.

Service was really really good. Seems like it's a family business and they treat customers that way too! Went there for Breakfast Sandwich but decided to go with The C&B Plate which honestly, waffles were surprisingly good!!! but loved Fried Chicken Benedict way more than mine because of how flavorful it was!! overall good pick if you're craving Halal fried chicken! also, they have Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice and OJ & Carrot Juice are good! The day was hot so we went inside, both areas are very nice!

The restaurant itself is nice and its great that its halal! The service was well too and so was the food. They dont have a wide selection of coffees its just iced/ hot lattes and mochas. I got the iced latte with foam and it was delish. The chicken and waffles was great and the flavors were good. I will say that the chicken could be more fresh, they took only 10 mins to bring our food out and we ordered a few things.

I've been meaning to check this spot out in Potrero and it is so worth the hype and wait! I honestly feel like it's hard to get chicken right where it's not dry and they def delivered. Bonus points for being halal too!! Chicken was super juicy and paired perf with the cute little waffles on the C&B platter!! I love that it comes with the variety because I always want to try everything at brunch spots.. (and I'm sure you do too!!) Also tried my brother's fried chicken benedict and it was chef's kisssss. Service was fabulous and everyone was so sweet. I could tell they care about all of their customers and making sure everyone is enjoying their experience. Pls check them out!!

This is the first place that pops in mind when I think breakfast or brunch in the city. Ugh just cannot be beat yall. I love the owners and the family that runs the place. Ambiance is great, vibes are immaculate. Just a great place, everyone reading this -- just go check it out.

The boyfriend requested fried chicken for his birthday brunch, and Cracked & Battered was exactly what we wanted! We found free street parking pretty easily on a Saturday morning and were seated immediately in their parklet, which worked out because indoor seating seemed a bit warm, loud, and crowded. I scanned a QR code to order and pay. Everything hit so hard! The C&B Plate was the perfect sampler with juicy fried chicken, four fluffy mini waffles with fresh strawberries, crispy home fries, and two eggs. Their tasty homemade hot sauce was a little sweet like Sriracha and peppery like sambal and paired great with the potatoes. The fried chicken eggs Benedict with buttermilk biscuits was so flavorful with the tangy Hollandaise and a second sauce. I'd highly recommend and can't wait to come back!

ORDER memphis fried chicken burrito (5/5) friend chicken benedict (5/5) both were soso good! the burrito was enough to share and was super filling. the spicy sauce paired perfectly. the fried chicken benedict was equally as delicious and filling. definitely a must try if you're in the area. SERVICE we ordered using the QR code and the food came out shortly after. the workers were very attentive and accommodating. we had a little issue with our order and they remade it right away. 10/10 service AMBIANCE there are limited seats indoor and plenty outside. parking was easy to find around the corner.

Delicious Halal fried chicken, breakfast burrito! Had a nice kick of spice, and you can turn it up with their spicy sauce that served on the side for even more heat! They have outdoor tables which are dog, friendly, and if you sit at the right one you can get a beautiful view of the city! They have QR codes at the tables for ease of service, and the staff is very friendly as well. Another gem in Potrero Hill.!!

First time here and Whoa! I've never had potatoes so perfectly cooked, and although I'm not generally a fan of chicken and waffles it was delicious I'll be back soon to try the chicken Benedict which looked amazing Great service too

I've been going out to brunch more often this year and Cracked & Battered might be my favorite spot I've been to. You order with your phone through a QR code (or you can go to the website specified) -- and the same QR code is where you'll find the menu (with photos!). There's indoor and outdoor seating available. I ordered the C&B plate and my friend ordered the Fried Chicken Benedict. Once we placed our order, it took about 15 minutes for the food to come out. Both items were plated so aesthetically and looked very appetizing. Luckily, the food did taste as good as it looked. My friend and I ended up splitting our food and my favorite thing was the fried chicken Benedict. The fried chicken on the biscuit was delicious and the egg was poached perfectly. I do wish the biscuit was a bit more sturdy(?), it kind of just got mushed together with the chicken and I couldn't really taste it or identify its texture. With that said, I think all benedicts I've had previously had mushy english muffins on the bottom, so at least the biscuit wasn't soggy. My friend also really enjoyed the mini waffles part of the C&B plate, however did note the scrambled eggs were a bit dry. Overall, I had an amazing time here and the food was top tier, I would definitely recommend my friends to visit and hopefully will get to try their Marina location in the future!

I ended up coming here on a whim after trying to go to a brunch place down the street where the wait was an hour long I saw the great reviews, and was told the wait would only be 20 minutes for my friend and I, and it ended up being even less! We sat at an outside table, and service was quick throughout our meal. As for the food, I ordered the Belgian waffle and a glass of orange juice and it definitely hit the spot. Oftentimes I feel like restaurants make waffles too hard, but this one was perfectly light and fluffy, almost like a pancake consistency. Our only concern is that my friend who ordered pancakes felt like hers were undercooked. Overall though, I would definitely go back to Cracked & Battered and the area was just so cute as well!

This spot lives up to the hype! We were expecting a wait on Saturday morning ~10 am but were seated very quickly (outside). Ordering is done via QR code and food came out at lightning speed. Ended up going with the C&B plate due to the online picture and did NOT regret it! Chicken was so juicy and seasoned, mini waffles were sweet and fluffy, potatoes perfectly crisp and the over-easy egg was runnin!! A no-brainer brunch stop when you find yourself in Portrero Hill....

Solid brunch! I loved the c&b plate because I always have trouble with choosing between sweet or savory and I got the best of both world. Not a long wait (less than 10mins) on a Saturday which was pretty crazy. Waiters were very attentive and the space had cozy homey vibes.

My favorite breakfast place in the city. The fried chicken is juicy and full of flavor. Prices are comparable to many other breakfast places, which to some could be a little pricey. You order and pay all through a QR code but service is still very attentive. The place is small and can get a wait but there's outdoor seating and food gets out quick. Special shout out to the nashville hot sauce that comes on the side. It's served warm and is oily with chunks of whatever it's made of, onions, tomato? Unsure but delicious

I'm not really a breakfast type of gal but the food here was so good would come back. The eggs Benedict was sooo good and ask for extra crispy for the potatoes and they really crisped it up! I love it. And their breakfast burrito was pretty good too. Not much of a wait on a Sunday afternoon goes by fast

Phenomenal breakfast this morning! I loved the coffee so much I ended up ordering three mochas. We got the Benedict, the shashuka and mini waffles and everything was perfectly cooked. The staff (owner?) was so friendly! Please Come to San Diego! We need you' we will be back next year when we are in SF again!

The food was delicious, flavorful, perfect amount of spices on the potatoes, right amount of crispness. Service was commendable with the respect that there was only one person taking orders, serving the food and bussing tables.

My girls and I had brunch here for the first time and we were not disappointed. We all ordered The C&B plate our server recommended and it was so delicious! The Ube latte was okay. I like my coffee on the sweeter side and I expected more Ube, but iI'll make sure to order extra Ube next time! I love their payment system. You scan the code, order, and pay! Quick, easy, and convenient! It's a small spot so please be patient with the staff, especially when it gets busy!

Such a gem for brunch in Potrero Hill! Came here on a Sunday around 12:30 PM and was seated immediately since it was just my friend and me. The tables are a bit crowded inside, but it wasn't too loud even though almost every table was full. You order via a QR code on the table, and the food came so fast! I got the Fried Chicken Benedict, and I loved it so much! The chicken was so juicy and crispy, and the sauce was so great to dip in. The egg was perfectly poached as well (just the right amount of runny for the yolk). I also loved the potatoes -- beautifully crispy and golden brown on the outside yet so fluffy on the inside. I got to try a bit of my friend's waffles as well, and they are so fluffy and light. Definitely interested in trying the chicken and waffles next time! The portions were generous and definitely worth the price. The waitstaff were all very welcoming and prompt as well. This is my new go-to spot for brunch now -- absolutely would come again!

Maybe it's just me, but when I think of this stretch of 18th Street in Potrero Hill, "brunch" immediately comes to mind. Granted, it doesn't take much for my brain to start thinking about the best meal of the day, but it seems like there's no shortage of attractive options along these few blocks. There's Plow, Chez Maman East, Cracked & Battered...okay, maybe there aren't THAT many. However, there haven't been many that have jumped off the page like how Cracked & Battered has! When it comes to the things that I look for a brunch spot to have, Cracked and Battered checks a lot of those boxes. There's both indoor and outdoor dining, the vibes are great, there's plenty of nearby parking, and, perhaps most significantly, there's never much of a wait (unlike Plow up the street, though there's a reason why they are one of the best anywhere). However, the menu here is what I find most appealing. While it may not be super extensive, it's got a number of appealing and unique options, from their fried chicken and waffles and ricotta pancakes to their Shakshuka and Nasi Goreng, which was really unexpected to see (and the one thing we knew we had to try). -- THE C&B PLATE - Four Fluffy Mini Waffles Topped with Berries and Whipped Butter with One Boneless Fried Chicken Thigh, Golden Potatoes, and Two Eggs...$20 Their namesake plate felt like a must and it didn't disappoint! The batter on the chicken was crunch, the chicken was moist, and the eggs and potatoes were well cooked. As for the waffles, they had a nice crunch to them, but they started to soften as they sat on the plate (still tasted fine, though). -- NASI GORENG - Indonesian Chicken Fried Rice with Cabbage, Cilantro, Garlic, Onions, and Two Eggs...$18 This immediately jumped off the page when we saw this, but sadly, it was a miss for me. While the chicken was fine (other than how the egg made the batter soggy), the rice wasn't very good. Not only was it heavily sauced, but the rice was hard/undercooked, too. Pass. -- FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH - Boneless Fried Chicken Thigh with Lemony Cabbage Slaw, Crackin' Sauce, and Pickles on a Toasted Bun...$17 Came back just to try this and it was actually pretty decent. The chicken was just as crispy in the sandwich (on the edges, at least) and was seasoned nicely while the slaw had a nice bit of acidity that cut through everything. However, the bun felt a little bready and dry. -- FRENCH FRIES (Sandwich Add On Portion)...$2.50 It worried me that the fries were paler than I expected, but they weren't too shabby. The fries were a little starchy, but they were crispy and only lightly salted (in a good way). Still, had I known they had tots, I would've gotten that because tots. As far as service goes, the staff is really nice and the food comes out fairly quickly However, it's weird how you're directed to order/pay after scanning your table's QR code only to have it fail and have to order through a server anyways. That said, I also just hate the whole QR code process at restaurants in general, despite the beneficial convenience for both sides, so it'd be fair to say I'm heavily biased. Even though I feel like there were things about our food that could've been better, my visits here have been extremely far from "bad". In fact, they were perfectly fine and, from the looks of the reviews from my fellow Yelpers, it's apparent that I'm in the minority. Still, THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down feels right, though don't be surprised if you see me update this review to a four sooner rather than later.

The breakfast sandwich is outstanding!! Perfectly made, fresh, filled with care. I loved it so much that I had to write a review. I'm excited to try the other menu items as well.

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Was hanging out with an old friend who wanted some brunch. So I told him about this place. We were so happy to go. The vibe was chill: they had 80s music on. I ordered the C&B plate. That was so good! The 4 mini waffle were sweet and tender. The toppings of whipped cream, sliced strawberries, and powdered sugar elevated it to decadent. My over medium eggs were done perfectly. The chicken was juicy, with a very nice spicy kick. My friend got the Nasi Goreng. That was also delicious. Same juicy chicken, with an awesome scoop of fried rice. The servers were also very friendly and quick. This is definitely a great place for brunch!

This place was a huge letdown. After waiting 30 minutes in line (they said 15), we ordered the C&B Plate and Fried Chicken Benedict. It took 40 minutes for our food to arrive, and when it did, the eggs were wrong, and the chicken was missing. They gave us a small piece of chicken and what felt like someone else's scrambled eggs to make up for it. To top it off, when I asked for hot sauce, they handed me a broken bottle that spilled all over my plate. The service felt careless, and the experience was frustrating from start to finish. I'm never going back to this place again!

Cracked and Battered is a gem in San Francisco. Me and my friends came here for brunch and had a really good time. I got the Fried Chicken Sandwich and it was delicious. I loved the special sauce they had in the Sandwich and the flavour of the coleslaw made it tastier. The fries were also super crispy and went well with the sandwich. My friends also really liked what they ordered. One of them got the Breakfast Burrito and they really enjoyed it. Overall, generous portions and affordable pricing with good service. Would highly recommend this beautiful brunch spot in the amazing Potrero Hill neighbourhood.

Pure perfection!!! Today we decided to go Memphis style and got two delicious chicken masterpieces. The chicken is so juicy and tender which the right amount of spice. It's so consistent every time we come here. The house made Memphis sauce is unique and the right amount of spices. The service is always so exceptional - the manger is always so generous and welcoming. I love this spot. Thanks Festus' for the recommendation on your food blog!

C&B plate was delicious, especially the fried chicken! The service was nice as well, the host was very mindful and accommodating of our preference to be seated inside. Nice vibe to it as well, cozy brunch place. The sakura blossom latte was decent but didn't really stand out as much as I thought it would.

TLDR: Delicious food, generous portions, and great location, but definitely more of a no-frills place. If the wait at Plow is too long, this is an awesome alternative. Not the crispiest fried chicken I've ever had, and this would have been perfect if the chicken had more of a crunch, but the seasoning and overall taste of the chicken was spot-on and I surprisingly still loved it despite it almost looking soggy (?). Trust me though, the chicken is very good. You order with a QR code so everyone can order individually, and the food comes out shortly afterward. ------ FOOD: 1. Chicken and Waffles (4.5/5) - Would have been 5/5 if the chicken were crispier and if the waffles also had crispier edges. The chicken was SO well-seasoned and tender. The waffles were on the fluffier side, and actually were slightly more salty than sweet (also because of the small scoop of whipped salted butter on top). The sweet syrup and strawberry slices helped balance out the flavors. 2. Fried Chicken Benedict (4.5/5) - This was SO good. The hollandaise sauce here is super creamy and eggy - I loved it. The buttermilk biscuits were also a great vessel for all of this. Also would be a 5/5 with crispier chicken. ------ SERVICE: * There's no place to make a reservation online (at least not from what I could find) so you can call ahead or just wait a little bit when you get there in person. On a Saturday around 11:30 there was just a short 5-10 minute wait for a table for our group of 4. * No frills place but they do still check in on you, bring you water, and refill your water. It's no frills in that you order with a QR code, and the furniture is all relatively basic, like plastic chairs for the outdoor seating * If you do sit outside, I'd recommend coming with a slightly larger group to sit in a parklet vs sitting at one of the tables for two on a slanted sidewalk ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * Such a cute little neighborhood with a nice bookstore at the end of the block and various coffee shops in the surrounding blocks. * There's lots of a parking around given Potrero is very residential

Considering today is a holiday, it was super busy and with limited staff--super understandable! Took awhile for the food to come out, but TOTALLY WORTH IT! The waffle...dude unbelievably delicious. Today, I extra impressed with my vanilla latte. The homemade whipped cream on top...I never want to wake up from this dream lol. Ambiance, playlist was great today. I loved the teddy swims album :)

Stopped by for brunch before the Giants game. Sat outside on a beautiful day. Quick service. Order by phone app. Food was delicious. Definitely worth checking out
