Best Fried Chicken in San Francisco - Eater SF

"Yes, it’s fast food chicken served out of a gas station convenience store (in the Mission, in this case). But there’s a reason Krispy Krunchy proponents swear this is best Southern-style fried chicken in the entire city. Juicy flesh and well-seasoned, unfailingly crunchy skin — hence the name — are the hallmarks here. Walk up to order." - Lauren Saria, Eater Staff

Ok, I really want to give them 5 stars, but it's gas station fried chicken y'all, 😆 so it can't get 5 stars. The chicken is unexpectedly delicious! Perfectly fried, no batter, just flour and amazing seasoning. Has a slight acidic, spicy vein running through the seasoning. Really quite satisfying at 2am when the bars close, or buy a bucket for Sunday picnic. It's a franchise, so you can find it in most cities, at least in California. But again, it's in a gas station convenience store, so it's not a dine-in, seated meal. Some of the best fast food out there! I mean, who doesn't crave fried chicken every now and then?!

I usually don't do reviews however this place has been getting so bad I decided to hop on here. I'm usually a regular here and come in on my way to work to get something to eat before hand. However lately the quality of the food has been getting worse and worse everytime I come in to the point that I've given up on the place. Today I bought some nuggets with what little money I had till payday and when I got them they were hard as a rock and tasted like they've been out for WAY too many hours. Then the ranch packet they gave me was already kinda open so was just coming out of the packet as I was walking with it. On top of that the staff hardly pays attention to their customers (not just me but every customer i see that goes in there) and their drink selections have been dwindling to the point of just lazy ordering. If it was just a once in a blue moon thing I wouldn't be as agitated but its like every time i come in now. It sucks because this was my daily go to for stuff and now after today I just give up on the place.

The Cajun chicken from Krispy krunchy is so famous everywhere that when you eat it fresh you have not eaten a burger so tasty I would suggest that you do not eat the the ones that they have on the warmer if they don't make it fresh don't eat it because it doesn't taste good and you're going to bring it back and return it

Chicken good, service bad just because I don't speak Spanish doesn't mean I don't understand, and should be treated differently. Order online better, get your gas and go

Wow, amazing. Did not know gas station food can be this good. You can get so much chicken for $11. The chicken itself is also delicious. The meat was tender and well marinated. The chicken is well seasoned (might actually be too salty for some but it was good for me). The skin was also very crispy. Also didn’t experience the bad service some other reviews talked about but maybe I got lucky. Only complaint is that there isn’t a place to eat it so I had to wait 10 min until I got home to eat it which I am sure affected taste (still delicious though)

May 3rd,2021 (4:27am ... ) we had to wait 7mins for our Krispy crunchy chicken...but it was SO worth it cause it was So Super Delicious!! This gas station Krispy Krunchy Chicken is the BEsT krispy krunchy chicken in San Francisco!! (... and I have been to All the Krispy Krunchy Chickens in san francisco haha) i figured they all would taste the same....but they do Not. This krispy krunchy chicken has the bestest honey butter biscuits!! They are just full of flavor so moist and yummmmy!! They are Not dry at all ( a lot of the other krispy places ...the biscuits are just...dry..:( ..) and the blueberry biscuits!! Like the jiffy blueberry muffins..but a biscuit full of yummy~ness!! The chicken...also full of juicy yummy~ness...i dont know what they do different at this krispy krunchy chicken place ... but they are definitely the yummy~est krispy krunchy chicken in San Francisco!! When we first pulled up to this gas station..if you have ever been here or if you decide to go here (which everyone should try the food here!!) ....maybe just go during the day time..(haha..jk) if you are not use to the area tho...it can look... its san Francisco.. haha .. but dont be scared.. just run inside and order some krispy krunchy chicken food from here! Or even better .. you can just order some krispy krunchy chicken (the one on van ness ave ) from doordash or postmates and have the food come to you (: The only reason i put 4 stars instead of 5 is because sometimes the cashiers are kinda rude like or get irritated or something because i am not sure what they are saying and i keep saying .."what..?.." ..or .."..um..i dont know what you are saying.." but i guess i could see how that would be kinda annoying.. and the other reason why i put a 4 star instead of a 5 is because the sun face on the box freaks me out and is just creepy!! (Sorry if you never noticed the Sun pic on the box...until now because i had to point it out to you.. and now you will also be forever freaked out everytime you get a box of food from here.. .. sorry.) But dont let that stop you from getting food from here cause it is So Super Yummy!!

Just writing this right after my meal, I’ve had a combo and some wedges. What I’ve came across is a stone under my teeth and an expired foul tasting ranch. If it comes to the chicken, yea it’s 8 hour old food under warmers. Just saying what I felt!!

It's up to you, gas station good atmosphere? Not really, but the chicken makes it seem better than it is, I think. If you have trouble with spicy, make sure you order with that in mind, or your chicken will have little rivers of hot sauce all throughout! If you dig spicy, well you get the picture. They have other things to eat as well, and it's open 24hrs a day! Woohoo!

Gas station fried chicken is underrated. Great spot to grab chicken though the area is a bit sketchy at night if you go alone. Juicy and crunchy. You can also add on sauces like honey mustard too. Picked up a box of fried chicken on a Tuesday for lunch and it stayed warm and crunchy on the walk home. The fragrant smell wafted through the box. The skin is so crispy and I love how flavorful the meat is too. I like pairing this as a protein with a packaged salad for easy weekday lunches. Really quick line and checkout process. Order chicken at the cash register! They ask you how many pieces you want. You can also walk over to the side to see the menu and sides they have in stock. There are some Cajun sides like jambalaya that I want to try next time I stop by.

The staff here is extremely unprofessional. Always on the phone, no courtesy, slow to pickup delivery orders. This new staff is horrible, get new hardworking people in there like the old staff. The young women that are in here behind the register are horrible

Went at 9pm, the Mission is starting to wake up. The food is to the left of the door and counter. The place where I believe they are cooking in the kitchen is covered in a white haze permeating the back part of the store. If this place had a working smoke alarm, it would have gone off. All of a sudden, the warming case lights for the chicken goes off and one of the clerks makes her way to the back smoky room to switch on something. They are speaking a language I don't know, feels Iike I travelled into another country , but hold it, I'm in the Mission at night, of course. I said four piece meal with biscuit, My wife opens the box in the car and something looks like a hockey puck. It was not a biscuit, well, maybe it was, but it was blueberry. At of potato wedges and the chicken was decent as always. Another adventure in the Mish.

Make no mistake, this is literally gas station fried chicken. Think hole in the wall, and add a touch of carbon monoxide poisoning. But hey, I'm not going to judge a book by its cover. There aren't many southern / NOLA-style fried chicken options in the area, and my roommates and I get the hankering some times... I'd been recommended this place by some friends and seen some glowing reviews for this place specifically (out of 3 locations), so we were extremely keen on checking it out. We've gone twice now, and there can be some sketchy characters hanging around, but haven't had any problems going at night. Buddy up... It's open late night and that for sure is worth having around. No sit down, all the food is out under heat lamps, you pay at the counter and take it to go. That being said, I think you can get in and out in minutes, unless they're out of chicken and another batch is in the works. Trust me, that is a very good problem to have. The value of this place is truly mythical. The buckets come out to $1-2/piece which by any standard, most of all by SF's, is unicorn-status. Important logistics note: Flooring it on the 15min drive home, frantically rushing through the door, and getting everything out onto the table, still yields chicken that is indeed *krispy* Review of the dark meat: Skin: Delicate, not quite as flaky as peak Popeyes, but pretty freakin close. Flabor: You can tell there's some secret seasoning magic going on here. Again- not quite popeyes, but real close. My roommates and I all agree that the chicken tends to be quite salty, but not a dealbreaker. Meat: Super tender and the flavor penetration is real. A bite into it and you might see orange residuals (???) inside the chicken. Flavor injection? Must be. But I'm not gonna question it. Just take my money. I'll be back. Guiltily too soon.

By no means is this fine dining, so taking it for what it is, drunk snacks, krispy krunchy chicken is one of the best spots for late night fried chicken. Quick, you go in and out, you're not there long enough to even care about the service, and when you're inebriated trust me it means nothing. 4 pieces of chicken, a small order of potato wedges, and a drink was roughly 16 dollars and it was more food than I could care to eat. But I was feeding the soul not the body. Krispy krunchy chicken is great because of how late it's open and the consistent quality , I'm a fan

I love KK chicken and have never had a bad experience until I came to this location to grab some. Had high expectations based off reviews and was in the area so we stopped by to grab some. Right off the bat all the female employees working there were acting extremely rude and odd towards my husband and I for no reason.. really weird experience honestly. Sorry you actually had to get off ur chubby butts and actually work, weirdos.. Quality and taste wise the chicken and biscuits were crap. Idk how or why they could mess KK up so horribly but the biscuits were dark as hell and burnt to a crisp. Chicken tenders were dry and extremely overly seasoned in Cajun seasoning they were red in color. Just an overall lame experience. There is a lot of krispy krunchy locations to choose from, especially in the city. Avoid this spot if you don't wna deal with lazy brats and poopy food.

Delicious chicken. However - the oil its fried in? A bit sus. Finally -- an interesting caveat -- placed a door dash order with a shop that calls itself "Famous Crispy Fried Chicken" but what arrived had KKC branding all over the box - so while the product did not warrant sending it back or anything like that - its a challenge to imagine being a repeat customer. Whoever figures out fried chicken with - organic chicken and avocado or coconut oil -- will definitely get this reviewer as a customer

I admit I was really skeptical on buying lunch from here, it's a shady gas station... but my buddies convinced me. Got 4 (massive) chicken strips and a jambalaya. The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside which is what you want from great fried chicken. The jambalaya was fire as well, decent portion and just spicy enough. Service tho was kinda odd. Would eat again tho.

Easy, good, quick. Get the jambalaya--and get the house sauce for your chicken. Very yummy

Great Southern Fried Chicken. Great crust. Enormous portions! one wing piece was bigger than a 3 piece at popeyes or kfc. terrific bargain price. door dash delivery charges but worth it. this is famous 'gas station chicken'. you get a huge box of chicken. id bet it was 3.5 to 4 lbs. cheap price. a bargain. and it arrived hot and crispy. good biscuits too. wish i had ordered more. i would serve this to guests. re heats quite nicely too. this is to go food. 17 th and south van ness. very happy. my cardiologist would have a conniption fit!

Despite confirming our doordash order and making the dasher wait over 30 minutes the restaurant came back to say that they have *no sides* of any kind They then required that I cancel the order which the app claimed I could not do without losing my money At that point you have to fight through doordash support to get to someone

A bartender recommended this place to us for the best fried chicken in town, so here we are. Who would've thought that a gas station will serve up some crispy and crunchy fried chicken? The two of us ordered an 8 piece dark meat fried chicken (thighs and legs) (~$9) and a honey butter biscuit (69cents) with two drinks. It was convenient to grab some other drinks, snacks, and essentials since it was a gas station. Everything came in a cute carton box that looked like a barn. We carried it over to Dolores Park to enjoy, which was pretty nice. The fried chicken was solid and tasty --definitely met the crispy and crunchy aspects. The muffin was different than I was expecting as it was more like a fried honey blueberry muffin, but quite delicious as well! The sweetness was a bit overwhelming, but paired nicely with the savory fried chicken. Note: I like that this place is open 24 hours!

We were too late for the restaurants around our hotel so we googled chicken and as we got there we realized it was a gas station. We were a little skeptical but the cook was actually cooking chicken and the chicken in the warmer looked pretty fresh. OMG we were very pleasantly surprised! Best chicken we've had in a while. Gas station chicken??? Damn that is some good chicken!

TL;DR - Gas station chicken? Yeah, but its Krispy Krunchy Chicken so it's delicious. I like to think I'm a fancy bitch, but really I am a simple person who loves fried chicken and I particularly love Krispy Krunchy Chicken. I think their chicken is top tier fast food. Their chicken is juicy throughout, like literally when you tear a piece off and you can see the juices between in the meat. SO GOOOOOOOD. This was so funny, I was walking home from the grocery store when I saw on Google Maps that Krispy Krunchy was close by. I normally go to the Marina to get this, but I was like, wait its close by? Hell yes. Turns out, it's in a freaking gas station! But whatever. I ate it on the way home and for lunch the next day, I'm not sick, so I think it's safe lol! Their fries when I got them were not that crunchy so I heated them up at home in the oven and they were fire.

On our way to another restaurant, my coworker friend decided to check out the fried chicken place (as she calls it). I've never been there or heard of it until she kept telling me there's a great fried chicken place inside the gas station. Wait, what? Gas Station Fried Chicken? Yep, I was pretty skeptical. And they were 24 hours..... We walked from work, it was a pretty long walk if you had to walk by yourself, but I was with my coworker friend so it wasn't too bad. About 6-7 blocks later, we arrive inside the gas station.. it's a pretty cramped space with lots of candies and things to buy. At the left of the register was a section of their fried chicken and a whole menu of things. Their fried chicken is not oily and it lives up to its named.. it's Crispy and Crunchy! Their potato wedges are just average, by the time you get to eat it at the office, they're soft and soggy so meh! Their biscuits are really tasty though. It's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside (that's what you really want anyway). Their fried shrimp is average, I think it's the frozen kind and they just fry it up for you. If you're ever in the area, get their chicken, it's GOOD.. I would say better than KFC, and on the same level as Popeyes!! YUMMMMM!! For those who like their spicy, it has a little mild kick to it. (I only like the chicken's dark meat.. ) I def would be back to get more chicken and their biscuits!

This place is located in a gas station, and they have their fried chicken sitting there under like a heat lamp. Sounds not so good right? Surprisingly, it was quite delicious and a fair price as well! The fried chicken had a nice flavorful batter and the chicken was cooked decently well (though I guess this would depend on timing, as it's probably better to come when its busy so there is always fresh chicken). And the chicken comes with a blueberry muffin biscuit which was delicious! It was so decadent and you could really taste the oil or butter or whatever it was along with all of the sweetness. Overall quite a surprise that ended up being rather delicious!

The food is convenient when there is not many options especially late night but Be careful to add your order up on your phone calculator because they will definitely overcharge you especially if you're buying several items as far as the fast food is concerned. The lady at the register has done it to me several times, until I confronted her and did my math on the phone. So watch these people not just these people but a lot of establishments in SF will use this trick. Antennas up y'all

This chicken is likely excellent piping hot out of the fryer. Unless you hit KK at the exact right time, the reality is that your piece has probably been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. After all, it is a gas station. Solid fried chicken but not the best. UPDATE: another reviewer mentioned you can ask for fresh, will try next time. Thigh: Coating: 4/5 nice skin coverage and good base. Could use more salt. Skin/crunchiness: 3/5 some traces of crisp but getting soggy Chicken/oil flavor: 3/5 fine, the oil wasn't the cleanest taste Biscuit: 5/5 yum. extremely salty and butter flavored. First bite is very concentrated, but you'll come back for more.

Who ever thought you could find good fast food at a gasoline station? They have great fried chicken here. I ordered some cajun tenders (seasoned chicken tenders) along with potato wedges. The chicken is sitting under a heat lamp but it tasted like it was just cooked and all the pieces were juicy. There's only to-go here as they don't have seating for you to sit down and eat.

Food: YUM!!!! Fried Chicken - OK...so I was a little skeptical about coming here but seriously it was pretty darn good. We got a fresh batch and it was mighty tasty. I think if I had a choice between this and Popeyes...this would be a good second runner up. Service: Nice staff...although it's a gas station mind you. Ambiance: Like I said...a gas station and we were there at night so it was a little interesting. Overall: Being that I work close by...I'm EXTREMELY happy to know that this is an option for me to go to. It's cheap and good. You just don't know that it's at a gas station of all places!

The best gas station chicken I've ever had. The chicken isn't matched. If you like your basic KFC or Popeyes, you'll love this even more. Idk what they infuse their chicken with but it's so good. I take all of my out of town friends here. Can't recommend enough

It was only a matter of time before I had try the infamous fried chicken from a gas station in the Mission. There is something satisfying about bypassing pricey vegan fine dining and chomping on some gas station fried chicken at a nearby parklet while drinking blue soda. It was reasonably priced and decent tasting, but I feel like it could have been so much better if it just came out of the fryer (instead of sitting under a heating lamp for an unknown interval of time). 8-piece Fried Chicken: Better than Safeway fried chicken, but can't hold a torch to Popeye's. The spices were nice, but the chicken didn't seem that fresh. The meat wasn't terribly juicy and the skin was only moderately crunchy. I imagine that since it comes from a place primarily visited to buy gas, it doesn't have a high turnover rate. I'd really like to taste to fresh out of the fryer to understand how it really compares to other fried chicken fast food. Biscuit: Wasn't a fan. I like biscuits and I like drizzling honey over biscuits, but pre-drizzled just didn't work. It was almost like a buttery sticky honey bun. Once again, maybe better fresh out of the kitchen. Jambalaya: I liked the ample chicken and sausage, but the rice was very heavy on the soy. It was almost like fried rice instead of jambalaya. Don't think a fresher version would have improved things much.

Bomb fried chicken. Forget Popeyes. Forget KFC. Just don't even go anywhere else for fried chicken. You legit get this out of a gas station, but don't let that turn you off. You will be hit with the smell once you walk in and instantly be captivated. Menu is pretty standard - drumstick, breast, dark, white, chicken tenders, fries, etc. What isn't standard is THE CHICKEN. So tasty. So Krispy. So Krunchy. For two people, we got a little carried away, but everything looked so good that we wanted to try a few things. We ordered an 8-piece dark (all out of white) meat mix, 4-piece Cajun tenders and large fries. All of this turned out to be under $25. Seriously. How??? The chicken tenders weren't quite as crispy, but the other chicken was fantastic. It has a very subtle spice in the batter, but you'll be fine. The chicken is super juicy and flavorful, so so crispy. I'm drooling just thinking about it. Obviously, because it's at a gas station, there's nowhere to sit and eat, so plan accordingly. There was a small line (a line at a gas station is still pretty notable though), so not sure how comparable it is to the location in fisherman's wharf, but this wasn't bad at all. All-in-all, probably about 15 min wait? Absolutely will plan on coming here again!

Seasoned, juicy... and affordable! Flavoring is injected into each piece and it pays off. This is my favorite fried chicken in San Francisco, including all of the yuppity spots with overblown amenities like (cue scare-quotes) "plates" and "seats". This is not a designation I make lightly and frankly the number 2 doesn't come close enough to mention here. It's a gas station on Van Ness and on the Friday night we came through, there were all kinds of hijinks going on. Brace yourself for that and keep your wits about you. Jambalaya tasted like the Tony Chachere's box mix (fine to pass unless you need the extra sodium). They were out of the red beans and rice which would have been my first choice. The staff was friendly and efficient, unfazed by the hustle and bustle of large families, people knocking off long shifts, and others about to kick off their weekend. Grab and go or use an online delivery service to get it delivered. The park 1 block over has a bit of a rodent problem - fine to picnic there if you're okay with an expectant audience.

been wanting to try this gas station fast food chicken for a while because it's 24 hrs and reviews were great. got the two piece meal w side of mashed potatoes w gravy. the chicken was delicious, breast was a decent size. paid extra to make this an all white meat meal. what happened here was enuf to knock this to a one star review, frankly. although the breast was a decent size for the bay area, famous for selling partial breasts as whole breasts, the 2nd piece was as long as a snow crab leg with less than 1 bite of meat total. weirdest 2nd piece i've ever encountered. the mashed potatoes w gravy side was large. the gravy was mostly tasteless but the potatoes were good. parking is almost nonexistent, and difficult to get around cars parked at the gas pumps. overall i recommend the place, but suggest u buy by the piece rather than encountering another of those very strange leg/wing things w no meat. the honey biscuit was TO DIE FOR, and i dont even like honey

The chicken here is not consistent at all. You're lucky when it's a good day but I've gone home to dry ass chicken that's barely edible. No free sauces any more, only ketchup, hot sauce or mayo.

Surprisingly excellent chicken and sides. I got an 8-piece dark meat order with mashed potatoes and gravy and coleslaw. The chicken is sort-of a cross between Popeye's and KFC. Super crunchy, with mild hot sauce under the breading. Less heat than Popeye's, more crunch than KFC original recipe. Much better seasoning than Popeye's in my opinion. Super moist. Mashed potatoes and gravy were pretty much exactly like KFC's... like a duplicate. Coleslaw was great -- much less sweet than KFC's. Like. I liked it so much and had never heard of this franchise, so I did some Googling. I was surprised to learn I had ordered chicken from a gas station on Uber Eats :-P. Doesn't phase me a bit -- it's that good. I was shocked to learn they had 2,200+ locations. For those who are antsy about health scores and food coming from a gas station... you can look 'em up online. They've been serving since February 2018 and the score is a very respectable 94. That's higher than a lot of my go-to places: https://www.sfdph.org/dph/EH/Food/Score/default.asp

Great fried chicken for the area. I'm amazed by how crispy and juicy the chicken is for being kept under a heat lamp. This Krispy Krunchy is located inside of a gas station. Their chicken display is an excellent use of space since the convenience store itself is pretty small. I got a 2 piece dark meal (drumstick & thigh) which included a biscuit for only $4.99. One of the highlights of the meal was the biscuit which was fried and honey infused. It reminded me of a more dough-y malasada. Overall, this is an awesome go to place for fried chicken in the Mission. If given a choice though I would still prefer Popeye's.

This is my favorite fried chicken in SF. If you're too scared to go to the gas station then you're missing out. Their biscuits are actually just cake though, if you're into that. Also, so cheap. But if you're looking for bourgeois organic Mary's chicken this isn't it... but if you're craving tasty Krispy Krunchy chicken with no frills this is bomb.

We have been buying this chicken about once or twice a month for the past 6 months and it is excellent. The local grocery store chicken is cheaper and smaller but this chicken is WORTH the $$. The staff at the N. WILMINGTON location is also excellent.

I'm not a huge fried chicken fan, but for what it is, Krispy Krunchy Fried Chicken is actually pretty good. It's tucked away in a gas station. I'd say this was the most ghetto meal I've had in the past year. The three of us split the family meal, and we had tons of leftovers left. The chicken didn't feel overly greasy and was quite flavorful. The biscuits were actually my favorite part! It's salty and sweet and buttery. This place is pretty inconvenient to get to, so I probably wouldn't go back unless I'm in the area. Major bonus that it's open 24 hours so if you're starving at 3 am, you can always turn to Krispy Krunchy.

I didn't eat it but someone did and they said the batter was too thick. Try to pay a little bit to get the mix. The dark meat only had a drumstick and a wing. I liked the biscuit-sweet and salty.

Hey now I am from Louisiana where we have a lot of good chicken. I also love belizean fried Chicken not to mention chicken right from the farm in Pennsylvania that is so fresh because you just butchered it and cooked it right then and there. But for San Francisco, for chicken from a gas station, this chicken is unbelievably the best, damn frigging good chicken. I like the fact that it's Cajun style ahem I am from Louisiana by the way, spicy, big pieces, usually quite fresh, comes with free biscuits, that I mentioned a great price? Did I mention big juicy fresh spicy hot fried Chicken!! okay I'm kind of a picky guy when it comes to chicken and this little fried chicken joint is the best I have been to In The City. Whoo baby

This is the best fried chicken in the world. I'm not going to fight you. You can choose to believe me or not. But the only way to find out is to go and try it. I recommend eating it fresh in the park across the street so that you get the krispiest experience possible. Bye.

I got 3 pieces dark meat with biscuit for $5.69. It was very crispy and moist. The biscuit was more list like a muffin with a crisp, sweet top. The chicken and biscuit were delicious.

Disappointing. I was hoping that finding this on yelp would mean that this was a hidden gem in some fashion. I'm OK with the location being literally within a gas station, and being take-out only (hood-top dining!) if the reward is something special. But the chicken was really no better than Safeway, and the fries were heat-lamp old. This was at noon, so it can't be that old, can it? Or were these fries made yesterday? Price or no price, I'm definitely not coming back.

First of all, this isn't a restaurant. Its a gas station. They don't make the chicken there, its sitting in heaters like the ones at 7-11. I ordered my food through grubhub and paid and when I got to the place, they never heard of grubhub and started yelling at me. They were completely rude.

Crisp exterior and juicy chicken inside. Better than KFC. It's not like some kind of artisanal roasted chicken with herbs but better than most rotisserie including Spinnerie. Don't knock KKC "gas station chicken" until you've tried it ;)

Really really really good biscuits with honey and butter, wish I would've gotten a hundred of them. But the chicken isn't that crispy and we got a piece that was pink in the middle so were steering clear of this place

Chicken was very crispy. IMHO just like KFC or Popeyes or Safeway. Nothing special. Cornbread was ok as well. Really nothing special about this place. The server also handled money. Didn't wear gloves or wash hands.

I've been wanting to try this chicken for a while and finally got the chance. I would rate this place 2.5 stars. I have to say the chicken is very crunchy. For me it was seasoned too much. Also I tried the chicken sandwich but nothing really special about it. It was just ok. Lastly I tried the mash potatoes. Also just ok. Better than some places I've tried though. I can tell why people may like this place, but it's not for me. I probably wont be coming here again.

Got the 8 piece mixed (white/dark meat) chicken only box for about $11. They were out of drumsticks, so I got extra breasts instead. The crust on the chicken was Krispy and Krunchy as advertised, seasoned well, and surprise- moist and juicy inside. Totally a guilty pleasure. A much superior product than the sad, dried-out chicken served with a shitty attitude at the Popeyes location near Fillmore Street. Well, you get the shitty attitude with the chicken here at Gas & Shop where the girl at the register was singing (quite literally): I wanna go home, I wanna go home, I wanna go to sleep, I wanna go to sleep. Pretty Katchy tune. Simon Cowell would have been gobsmacked. The major concern for me besides the shitty attitude was the sanitary condition of the location. It is after all, located inside a gas station convenience shop. No health score card displayed. Hmmm... Well, gentle reader, the SF Department of Public Health hasn't inspected this joint since December 2014, and the inspection findings look super-sketchy. They re-inspected the place twice in December 2014 after a major inspection in November 2014 that gave the place a score of 65. The followup findings have "No Score required" ratings. I mean, seriously, what's up with that? Did the owners of the establishment pay off the inspectors? SFDPH, time to get off your ass and do a reinspection.

Ok this place has good fried chicken and Mac and cheese. Open all the time and close to my place. Two piece comes with fried potatoes or last time I got a blueberry muffin. Weird and I was about to get upset but it was actually really good. If I'm ever inebriated and need a late night snack I know where to go.

Tastier and more crunch that Popeyes. The honey butter biscuit is sweet and fluffy. You can really taste the seasoning difference than Popeye. KKC has bigger pieces than KFC also they have different flavor of wings! That biscuit tho!

Good chicken but they DO NOT LIKE BLACK PEOPLE! I've been there 3 different times where they said they were closed (with doors open people getting gas and buying things) but the very next customer was allowed to make his/her purchase!hmm Seems like if you're black you will always get there at the wrong time mysteriously?!?!?

This is very similar in taste to Popeye chicken. Good value. Great biscuit. Best part you can get all white or all dark meat if you want. Good fries ... steak cut not skinny size.
