The Best Fried Chicken In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"At this Daly City spot, the chicken is consistently moist with a wafer-thin coating dotted with extra-crunchy ridges and craters. The waffles served with it aren’t an afterthought either—they’re fluffy and lightly sweet to balance out the chicken. We’re loyal to the 2 Pac meal that comes with a leg, thigh, and a waffle. This place is busy during prime dinner and late-night hours, so we suggest placing an order online before arriving. Keith's also has locations in South City and San Bruno." - julia chen 1, patrick wong

The 17 Best Restaurants In Daly City - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"This tiny, family-friendly place serves some of the best fried chicken in the Bay. Each piece is crispy, juicy, and pairs perfectly with their fluffy waffles. The three-piece combo with collard greens and mac and cheese is the move, but if you’re extra hungry, the smothered chicken with gravy is pure comfort. Seating is limited, so if you aren’t lucky enough to snag one of the few tables, plan to take your order to go." - gabi moskowitz, patrick wong

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.

Visiting from out of state and these chicken and waffles may be the best I have ever had. Tenders we’re seasoned to perfection, juicy. The yams were delicious as well. My food was hot upon arrival with warm reception. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some good eats in the Bay Area.

Food and service are top notch. Atmosphere is no frills but doesn't need to be anything special. The food and the service of the ladies behind the counter speak for themselves! The syrup warming machine is the perfect 👌 way to elevate the already great waffles to the stratosphere! I had the DMX and it made me stop, drop, and write a review for Keith's Chicken N Waffles because that's how Ruff Ryders roll.

The best chicken and waffles! IT IS SO GOOD. I love how authentic it is. They make it fresh so it will take the time it needs to take but it is so worth it! Staff is friendly. Love everything about this place.

Excellent offering of chicken and waffles in Daly City. The chicken is flavorful and crisp and the waffles are fluffy and flavorful. My current go to is the DCG tenders and waffles with a side of collard greens!

Best waffle I’ve ever had. We enjoyed our chicken and sides of greens and red bean and rice. Everything was tasty. Not much seating so I think it’s popular for take out but I prefer my chicken and waffles fresh so we dined in. They had cards and dominoes available to pass the time while the food cooked.

I have been here a couple times and I have to say this is the best place for chicken and waffles in the city. The well trained and friendly staffs made my experiences very easy everytime I visit. Their menu is very simple and everything is made from scratch and made to order. The wait is worth it and plus I have very high patience so that’s not an issue for me. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for some good chicken and waffles, soul food cravers or just love to eat. Definitely will be back!!

Chelsea was wonderful as always! Efficient and great customer service. The food was delicious we ordered Belgian waffles + tenders + Mac and cheese + rice& beans + fries + koolaid Food came out hot and freshly made, koolaid was FIRE . The small eating area was clean and everything was well stocked. Thank you to the staff at Keith’s chicken and waffles for always delivering amazing food + customer service!

Very delicious food, seasoned really well! I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy and it was so good! The bread was soft and the shrimp was well seasoned. I also ordered the three-way combo plate and that was really good as well. The people are very friendly and the place is small but it has great culture and the smell alone will make you want to stay end enjoy.

Parking is a challenge here, but it's not impossible if you are patient and willing to walk a little bit. The food is delicious. It's stated when you order that it's not fast food. Everything is cooked to order. Ordering online is an option if you don't want to wait once you arrive. There are only a few tables in the small seating area. Taking food to go might not be a bad idea.

We did a yelp search after driving up to hike at the San Bruno Mountain & this was the first option that came up. We walked in and were greeted immediately by Chelsea with a big smile & was patient with us when we told her we needed a minute to take a look over their menu as it was our first time. We gave her our order and she gave offered us some recommendations of popular items. We ended up trying the biggie with the trio of waffles (SO YUMMY!) Chicken tenders, Mac and cheese & kool-aid! Haven't 'drank' kool-aid since I was a kid! Nostalgia at its finest The food was delicious! The waffles were cooked perfectly, the chicken was crispy & seasoned very well. The Mac and cheese was BOMB! The best Mac and cheese we have had! I love that this location is small and the focus is on food quality and customer service. People were coming in left and right for pickups for their online orders and Chelsea didn't miss a beat going above and beyond with each customer. We ate everything up and forgot to take pictures. We will definitely be returning and recommending this place to friends and family. Not only because the food was spot but also because we felt an extremely friendly presence with the staff. I could hear laughter and good conversation in the kitchen & the cooks didn't miss a beat with our food.

Keith's Chicken N Waffles SMACKS! I found this hole in the wall off of Yelp. We ordered at the tablet kiosk for dine-in and sat down at one of the three tables. We got the 2Pac (drum and thigh) with the mini waffle trio, the Rick Ross (4 wings) with red velvet waffle, and an additional solo thigh order. Each chicken and waffle order came with a fountain drink. Every piece of chicken was piping hot, glistening, juicy, flavorful, and tender. The crunchy crust was not too thick, well-seasoned, but a tad salty, but this fared well against the sweetness of the waffles and warm maple syrup. The regular waffle was fluffy and tasty with a hint of cinnamon, and the red velvet waffle used a different batter so it was softer and more cake sponge-like. The only thing I wouldn't recommend was the cornbread muffin, as it was quite dry. The mac and cheese was solid too. The next time I'm craving chicken and waffles, I know I'll be coming to Keith's!

This hole in the wall is the place you'd wanna come to after a full night of shenanigans in the city. We ordered the chicken and waffles combo meal which includes a side item and a drink. It took 25 minutes after we ordered and the meal was served fresh and hot. The chicken was crispy, golden-brown, moist and flavorful. Add syrup on your waffles&chicken and you get a mouthful of sinful flavor. They have a large syrup dispenser at the counter where you can get Hot syrup. The Mac & Cheese was clumpy and gritty and lacked creamy cheesy sauce. I wouldn't order this side item again. They close at midnight Wed-Sat which is a double treat!

Across from Toyota Dealership. Able to order on tablet or register. Super simple menu and opted for the sandwich combo meal: chicken sandwich, fries, and a drink ($14.50). About a 20 minute wait, the food is super fresh. The chicken was quite large and tender. Good flavor in every bite. Super fresh ingredients. The fries were crunchy for how thick the fries are, tasty. Definitely would try the fried chicken and waffle in person since there's literal hot syrup for the waffles.

We ordered the eminem with Mac and cheese, the 2 pac with candied yams, and the 6 piece wings with fries. They were nice and let us get the red velvet waffle instead of the regular. Everything was yummy. I recommend sitting down and eating everything fresh at the restaurant. The chicken was well seasoned and the bbq wings were juicy. The regular and red velvet waffle were both delicious. The Mac is also good but will start separating after a while

I guess it kind of depends on when you get the chicken and if they just took it out the fryer or not! When we ordered it for takeout, seems like it was still hot even when we made it home and into our mouths. All that were left were bones :) the red velvet waffle was amazing too. *drool* poured the entire syrup and butter packs on while it's still hot so it'd be a 'melt in your mouth' type situation. lovely. They seasoned the 3 piece chicken really well this time. juicy meat. the hot crispy curly fries made it all the more better, my weakness!! ordered around 5 pm so they probably expected a dinner crowd so the meat was fresh. good place every once in a while when we're craving some good ole' fried chicken!

I recently read a review about this place so I drove down from San Francisco to give it a try based on the pictures alone. And after eating there today, this will be a weekly visit. I'm honestly how amazed how good every single thing was. I'm talking down to the homemade hot sauce and honey mustard. But the star of the show was the chicken. I recently raved about chicken at another restaurant, and after trying the chicken at Keith's, I feel bad leading others to anywhere else. THIS is the chicken heaven. The crunch, the juiciness, the seasoning. All perfection. The waffles were also incredibly delicate and are the perfect sweet compliment to the savory chicken. The hot syrup out of a carafe is an amazing touch. The generous helping of tasty, soft butter tops it off. We also tried the French fries and greens. The fries were super fresh and the greens, along with the chicken, are the best in the city. You also get a drink included in your meal. Not to mention how affordable everything was! The inside just has a few tables and is nothing fancy, but as a southerner who loves to find the best chicken spots, the best ones never are. Finally I have to mention the service. All the food was freshly prepared by Keith, who is the nicest guy on the planet. He and the rest of the staff kept making sure we enjoyed our meal or if we needed anything and it was a pleasure to have such nice hospitality. Don't skip here. Bonus they're open till midnight some days!!!

I used to really enjoy this place, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I placed an online order and when I came inside to confirm it, the staff told me they didn't understand English and would not take my order in person. When I tried to clarify what was going on with my order, I was ignored while employees stood on their phones. One employee even laughed, which felt extremely unprofessional. I ended up having to go back to my car and place the order online again just to be served. While waiting, I also noticed cleanliness issues. Employees were touching their phones while handling food and drinks inside the food prep area. On top of that, I was not provided hot sauce at all -- no packets, no option -- which is unusual for a chicken spot. My fried chicken was also burnt. Another customer who was in the restaurant at the same time even commented on how strange and uncomfortable the situation felt. Management has since issued me a refund and stated they will no longer serve me, which is fine -- I will not be returning anyway. This place used to be good, but based on this visit, the quality of service, cleanliness, and professionalism has gone downhill. Very disappointing experience overall.

While the food was good and flavorful, the chicken and fries were too salty for me. The waffle and syrup was 10/10. Service was good.

5/5 -- "Keith's Chicken and Waffles: Soul Food Done Right!" If comfort had a flavor, it would taste exactly like Keith's Chicken and Waffles. From the very first bite, you can tell this place puts heart and soul into everything they serve. The fried chicken is perfectly seasoned -- crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside -- easily some of the best I've had in the Bay Area. The waffles? Golden, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet, especially with a drizzle of syrup and a little butter melting on top. It's that perfect balance of savory and sweet that makes you close your eyes after every bite. The vibe at Keith's is warm and welcoming -- from the friendly staff who greet you like family to the soulful music that fills the space, you can tell it's more than just a restaurant, it's an experience. I also tried the mac and cheese and collard greens, and let me tell you... they hit every note of classic Southern flavor. The sides aren't just afterthoughts -- they're stars on their own.

Small hole in the wall place with DELICIOUS chicken & waffles. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Keith when I was there. It's been over a year since I've gone but I'm still thinking about that seasoned chicken and perfectly seasoned cinnamon waffle. I've been to some fancy restaurants that do not compare! I plan to stop in again the next time I'm in the area. I recommend you do the same! Note: I gave him 5 Stars because the ONLY other time I've tasted chicken and waffles this good was at Gumbo Yaya in Paris, France.

If you're craving comfort food with soul, Keith's Chicken N Waffles is THAT spot! I ordered the sweet potato waffles with fried chicken and let me just say... game changer. The waffles were fluffy and they paired beautifully with the crispy, juicy fried chicken. The balance of savory and sweet was on point. The portion sizes were generous, the food came out hot, and you can tell everything is made with love. The vibe is laid-back, very Daly City local, and the staff was friendly and welcoming.

The people working here were very nice. Chicken and Waffles: Overall 4/5. I am going to grade these two food separately. The waffles started out as a solid 4/5, but by the time I was done I was kinda tired of the flavor, so 3/5. The fried chicken breast I ordered on the other hand started out as a 4 and stayed great until the last bite. If and when I come back I would like to try the fried chicken sandwich.

I've ordered from Keith's many times and it's usually my favorite fried chicken spot but this experience was disappointing. On the 12th I placed an online pickup order at 1:18pm for a 1:45pm pickup. I arrived early (within 5 minutes) and my order was already packed and ready, which was unusual since their chicken is normally freshly fried and takes 15-20 minutes to make. My to-go box was slightly warm, which immediately made me think this was made a while ago. And when I decided to eat in, the chicken was lukewarm, the skin was soft not crunchy and the meat was pretty dry, it was clear the chicken had been sitting out for some time, long before I even put my order in. Ironically, my collard greens were warmer than the chicken. This was below the quality & freshness I've experienced at Keith's. But also, this was the first time I've eaten there where Keith himself wasn't in the kitchen, so hopefully he can correct this issue with his staff moving forward.

Was craving chicken and waffles and it was my first time trying this place out today. Got the Tupac. 2 pc. with a Belgian waffle and side. Couldn't wait to try the chicken and definitely the waffle. The chicken is very well seasoned. Enough salt that it wasn't over powering it was just perfect amount of saltiness mixed with other seasonings and the chicken was juicy and skin was YUM! Tried a bite of the Belgian waffle just with the butter by itself and it was sooo damn GOOD. Absolutely delicious and impressed how there was lots of flavor in the waffle batter. Next I got the candied yams.. it was good nothing to where it stood out to me. The kicker was getting a coke. I didn't know it came with a drink cause I don't remember seeing it on the menu. Overall my tastebuds were very satisfied! Chicken is delicious and the Belgian waffle is chef's kiss!

i've always seen Keith's driving through daly city, but today was the day to try it out. inside is very small, but the customer service is extremely nice and attentive. there is also inside seating, but it was pretty cold, so i got takeout i ordered the 8 piece chicken, some waffles, the bombin' mac n cheese, and i skipped on drink as it was out of service 8 piece chicken and waffles (8.3/10) juicy, crunchy chicken, with legs and thighs. pair with some hot sauce, its elite. waffles good bombin' mac n cheese (7.5/10) flavorful mac n cheese, you can taste the cheese and taste, but my mac n cheese was runny overall, great chicken and waffles, elite customer service, but mac n cheese was too runny for my taste. ill come back to give second opportunity w mac n cheese thank you, Keith

Normally don't eat soul food a lot so don't mind me if you do. A little expensive but besides Brenda's, I see this is as a viable option. Their home made syrup was delicious along with the waffles. Not sure if the chicken was suppose to be the last underwhelming of the dish but if it had really good piece of chicken on there, that would just be perfection. Chicken was still good tho don't get me wrong, great crunch , moisture, just a little extra season maybe could've bright it up a notch

I went in today around 4:30pm. There was a Latina woman at the counter, who was more friendlier than the black woman who was there during my previous visit. This time, I ordered my chicken and waffles with sweet potato! I think I've died and went to heaven. Dear "down south" friends, please do yourself a favor, and visit this place whenever you do visit SF. It will make you forget Roscoe's' uneventful waffles.

Found this little place sandwiched between a car shop and a gym when I was hungry nearby and nothing else looked good and I wasn't disappointed. The inside looked a bit cheap, but fit with the theme. Most of the combos are named after famous rappers which matches the decor. Even if you don't like rap, it won't affect your experience here because the food is tasty. Everything is made to order, which is a bit unusual for some restaurants with fried chicken because they want faster service. So it took 15 minutes for my food to be made, but oh was it worth it. I upgraded my combo to the Red Velvet waffle and it came with white and chocolate drizzle. The maple syrup on the side was perfect for the fried chicken. The chicken was also excellently seasoned, which isn't always the case. I got the Mac &Cheese for a side which was also well seasoned. Definitely felt like a nap afterwards but was worth it.

I have now dined with Keith's three times, and I must compliment the restaurant on the food, which has always been delicious, and the staff, who are consistently courteous. Although the space is small (with only 4-5 tables), we were able to secure a table around the time our food was ready. However, I wanted to point out a sanitation issue concerning the tabletop condiments, specifically the hot sauce and ketchup bottles. While I understand these items are handled frequently throughout the day, the buildup of grime and crud in the grooves of the bottles suggests they are not being wiped down daily--or perhaps even regularly--and are simply being refilled. This was quite unappetizing, especially when enjoying a meal. Otherwise, the food is slamming!

I had high hopes for this meal given the reviews I'd read about the restaurant before trying them out. Unfortunately, I was genuinely and sadly disappointed with my dining experience. Let me begin with the good and close with the bad... The mac'n cheese, although not baked, was actually not bad. The technique used to prepare it and the cheese blend that was used made it an enjoyable side. The cornbread muffin complimented the greens nicely and the greens weren't awful, but, they were a tad bit salty. It was the chicken that was a disappointment and that's what I'd gone there to try. At first glance the chicken didn't look bad. The portions were nice sized, the chicken was piping hot, and the skin was visibly crispy. However, it was apparent from the first bite of my drumstick that the oil it had been fried in had not been changed in a while. The flavor of the chicken almost had a scorched taste to it making it a challenge to enjoy. However, I was able to finish my drumstick with bites of the mac'n cheese. I saved the thigh for later and its flavor was even worse after the meat had rested. The taste of salt was noticeable and combined with the taste of the oil made it unenjoyable and impossible to finish. To add to that, the smell of the old oil filled the air in my kitchen upon opening the food box. I hate to be the lone adverse review, but, as a culinary arts graduate there are just some things that I can't ignore when it comes to food that I've paid to enjoy and the flavor of old oil is at the top of the list. I would highly recommend using sea salt in moderation versus table salt and to clean the frying oil weekly. When you are preparing food at such a high volume neglecting the freshness of the oil is an absolute no no. Sadly, based upon this experience I am not likely to return or to recommend Keith's Chicken and Waffle's in the future.

We like our family Sunday dinners, but I don't always wanna cook 'em. When this happens, Keith's Chicken N Waffles is our go to! As a bonus, on Sundays, KALW hosts Fog City Blues at 4pm, so I make the run--crank the blues and pick up our happy food. This is the best fried chicken on this side of the bay! (I don't cross the bridge enough to rate the other side.) The batter is flavorful, with just the right amount of spice and doesn't have that teeth-cracking over crunch, nor is it soggy. It's balanced. And importantly, the chicken is perfectly cooked. Yes, even the breast meat. We get all the sides. All of them. Which is saying something. Typically with this kind of joint, you find your favorites and stick with those. Oh, we have our favorites, it's all of them! I'll leave you with this, this ain't such a well kept secret anymore, so they will run out of stuff. Plan ahead. Order early. Thank you Keith!

Small mom and pop shop that serves very flavorful, crispy fried chicken. Staff is friendly with a next door neighbor vibe that is welcoming and comforting. Parking is a little difficult as it's mostly street parking in front. There is a lot next to it but seems to be reserved for the other businesses. Would plan accordingly to circle around or have someone sit in the car in case they need to move. Not a lot of seating, maybe 3-4 picnic tables that seats 4 each and some smaller 2-seaters. I got to-go and in the short 10-minute drive, chicken was still crispy but waffles deflated a bit. Not a huge deal since it is to-go. Will be back even I'm in the area!

Glad I stopped in! Man Keith's was a great spot to eat at. I ordered the 2Pac (a wing & thigh with a waffle and a side) and I was very happy. The food is definitely prepared to order and you can tell by the piping hot chicken that comes out. The chicken was very well seasoned and had a great crunch to it. Feels like a home cooked chicken and not like the fast food stuff. The waffle was also very good and not just a plain everyday waffle. I can't tell but it tasted like it had some sort of spice in the batter that I loved. The Mac & cheese was pretty good too. It had that slight grittiness that you get when you use real cheese but was still creamy! Overall it was a great meal but if you come here be careful because it's hard to get too with no parking lot. I definitely will be back to try some of the specialty waffles!

We stopped by Keith's Chicken and Waffles and tried their fried chicken. We didn't get to try the waffles this time, but the chicken alone was worth the visit. It was crispy, fried just right, and had a great mix of salty, peppery, and slightly spicy flavor. The meat was juicy and tender. You could tell it was fresh and well-seasoned. The vibe inside is very casual. There is minimal seating, and the owner had E-40's "Sprinkle Me" playing at the front, which gave it a fun, laid-back feel. Parking is all street parking, and we saw a few people double parking just to run in and grab their food. One thing that made us think twice about coming in a few times was that some patrons were smoking weed right outside the shop. Since I have a small child, I didn't feel comfortable bringing her around that. Because of that, I would probably stick to ordering through DoorDash instead of dining in. Overall, the chicken was great and full of flavor. I would definitely order it again for takeout.

Awesome soul food place located in Daly City, found it with my friends one day while roaming for places to eat at. It's definitely lowkey and a locals favorite. The Mac and cheese is amazing and the Belgian waffle is soft and delicious! Chicken tenders are nicely seasoned with pepper and are HUGE! 10/10 place recommend for folks to give it a try

Fried chicken and waffles were very very good. Great batter. But eveyrthing else wasn't great frankly; Mac and cheese, greens, beans and rice all pretty bland. Catfish and shrimp Jsut ok. But anything chicken here is very very good. Jsut skip the rest

Saw the high reviews and decided to stop by for dinner on a Thursday evening. It wasn't too busy and the workers were friendly. Ordered the half chicken, Belgian waffle, and a side of Mac and cheese. Love that everything is made to order. Our chicken and waffle was piping hot! The flavor on the chicken is peppery and flavorful with a nice crunch. The waffle surprised me the most though - was sweet & savory and paired very well with the chicken. The Mac and cheese was just ok to me - not sure if we got an off batch but it didn't taste too cheesy and the pasta was way overcooked. The inside isn't the most modern or well kept, but I came for the food and was satisfied. Would come back!

Ok Kieth, I see you out here! Waffles on point. Delicious is the best way to describe. Me, my son and nephews hit this place up around 10pm on a Friday. We sat and played cards while we waited for our waffles. The aroma of waffles crisping on a waffle maker totally enhance the experience. I would highly recommend ordering on site and waiting for your food vs calling in and picking up. Also the hot syrup is the way to go! Chicken was tasty and fresh. Thigh was crispy and juicy. If you are in Daly City stop in give Keith a try!

We usually go here a lot they have great food but they should change their hours if they're not truly accurate we came at 7:25 it says they close at 8 we walked in and they said they were closed already when there was clearly a good amount of time left we came from a little bit out the way so it's upsetting.

Food was on point! Meal included the main plus a side and soda-- all for a good price. Customer service was great--Keith is very friendly and considerate. Don't know where else you will find real and great soul food in Daly City.

I love the sweet potato waffle, and the chicken is always on point. I love this spot esp after a hangover or if you go to cloud 9

Crunchy and really JUICY fried chicken with a delicate crust and excellent seasoning. The "Bomb" Mac and cheese is a much more neutral (not mega cheesy taste that I was expecting) low key accompaniment to the chicken. To maintain absolute freshness and quality, they prepare every order of chicken and waffles ON demand - so just sit down and chill for 6-15 minutes depending on how busy they are.. This ain't fast food, so order ahead if you are in a rush. Friendly personable service, casual no frills ambiance, and they say "Thanks for coming In" when we left! We definitely will come back again to try their other sides and their famous waffles!

Wow! I never got the hype over chicken and waffles. The other places I've tried it was nothing to write home about. The food hasn't even been digested yet and I'm over here writing about it. I got the waffle w/breast & thighs and a side of their bomb Mac and cheese and my husband got the 3 piece tenders w/waffle and side of Mac and cheese. All the food came out freshly made and piping hot! The chicken was crispy but tender and well seasoned. The waffle was soft but not soggy and tasted real good specially slathered in butter! The Mac and Cheese called bomb Mac n Cheese was, indeed, BOMB. We couldn't wait to dig in - hence the bites off the food in the pics. lol! This place made me a chicken and waffle fan! Would def come back here!

The food was PHENOMENAL! So fresh and straight out the frier cooked with lots of love. Kieth the owner put his arm and leg into the fried chicken so crispy and flavorful. Definitely will be coming back making the trip all the way from the East Bay to eat here. We found this place super random today craved some good fried chicken. Immaculate! Service was amazing! From start to finish. The cashier woman was wonderful helpful the cook was extremely nice and did his thing with the food that was served. Everyone at this establishment was super friendly and welcoming. Loved this place! Reasonable prices. Love supporting black owned businesses. Will definitely recommend. Will be back soon! :)

I have to save the food is delicious and tasty. Unfortunately, the good end there on our visit. The service was poor and the staff was apathetic. Looked at the menu, stepped up to the counter to order only to be told we need to order on the self-service screen (but other patrons were able to order at the counter). Eventually a table opened up and we sat down waiting for a family meal. Family meal comes out and we had to ask for plates (which the only gave 1 plate). and eventually for the forgotten cornbread. Ask for butter and they have 4 pats of butter for 6 cornbreads. I had to eat without a plate and collected chicken bones over a piece of napkin on the table. The staff didn't seem to care much about service, the customer experience or anything for that matter. In addition to not having a dinner plate, the garbage can was overflowing and nobody cared to empty it. Again, the food was tasty but the experience just ruins an otherwise very positive review on the food.

Holy ish! This place is the spot, and thank you for using salt! Ok Keith, where have you been and thank you for being in this area. If you haven't tried Keith's chicken you are missing out. And thank you for having an only dark meat option because I think chicken breast should be banned, but even your chicken breast is good. The greens and Mac and cheese are sooooo good.

Wow, what a dope find in the Daly City area. I didn't know there was such a place, normally I would have to venture out to hard Knox or Popeyes. No, I'm not comparing them, I'm just saying what j knew was in my area (that was on my radar). I ordered the leg and thigh combo with collard greens. The food is made to order, so it isn't the fastest, but you know it's fresh and it's well done.the skin is crispy and the seasoning so so fire. You put that with the light and airy waffle and some collared greens with a bit of hot sauce and your money. Happy I found this spot and will definitely be back. The space is small so you're probably going to have to do it to go and the parking isn't great but this place is worth the extra effort.

Got a reco on this place from someone on NextDoor. They raved about it. So, on Sunday of a 3-day weekend, I decided to try chicken and waffles for dinner. We tried a representative mix of the offerings. We would have gotten the peach cobbler - made from fresh peaches, if you believe their menu board. None was available. Chicken is the star of the show here. I mean really good, old-school, little bit greasy but delicious chicken. The crust is outstanding. Not too much breading, not fatty, very moist. All of it: breast, thigh, leg and wings. The spice mix is unique, not overly spicy, just a nice hearty mix: salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, some chili powder. Not sure of what else. I could eat a lot of this chicken, it's less filling - and better tasting than most. Easy on the breading, strong on flavor, and nailing the moisture and crispness. Other items are less successful. All meal orders get a free side, and cornbread muffins. The cornbread muffins are a bought out bagged mix. Made with water. Tasteless, dry... toss it. Nothings going to save it. The beans and rice... ok, not great. White rice and decently spiced chili-like beans. The collards are I think vegetarian - no bacon or lard or other down-South flavorings. Cooked to absolute tenderness, and held in a steamtable for longer than I want to think about. Somebody didn't get the memo on washing collards. So I got a few nice bites of sand in the greens. The waffle - we got a Red Velvet Waffle. The flavor was ok. More like a soft bread, or a cake with lots of pressed nooks and crannies. Not even a hint of crispy. The place is bordered by two auto-body shops and a taco place next door. Not a destination exactly. But that chicken.
