Rosemary fried chicken, mac and cheese, cornbread
"After six years in an Emeryville food hall, I watched Fernay McPherson bring slow, deliberate soul-food craft to a Fillmore Street storefront that feels like a homecoming: brown-butter cornbread squares, gooey mac and cheese, candied yams glazed in syrup, and exceptional herb-redolent fried chicken populate a room where grainy A Different World reruns and a black-and-white Fillmore cityscape evoke neighborhood nostalgia and long-standing relationships with diners." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff
"Fried chicken, brown butter cornbread, mac n cheese" - julia chen 1
"This former Emeryville favorite (founded by a La Cocina alum) made the leap across the Bay, bringing what’s now SF’s best fried chicken to a small outpost in the Fillmore. The southern-style rosemary-spiced skin crackles, the meat is juicy, and once you add a little bit of house hot honey, you’re going to need a moment of silence to keep your sh*t together. Come with a group, chase your chicken with champagne, and tack on an order of mac and cheese. It’s rich, it’s creamy, it’s decadent, and it’s more than enough reason to stop by, even if you’re not craving chicken." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
"Minnie Bell’s in the Fillmore serves the best fried chicken in SF, full stop. Each piece tastes like it rolled around in a bale of rosemary before landing on your table. It’s available in two, four, or eight-piece combos of white and dark meat. You’ll want both, along with the brown butter cornbread and mac and cheese with a caramelized cheese crust." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"Minnie Bell’s makes the crispiest, juiciest fried chicken in the city. Each piece tastes like it took a romp through a rosemary patch before getting its golden-brown crust. But don’t let it distract you from the rest of the menu. This soul food spot’s mac and cheese with a blistered crust of parmesan, fontina, and cheddar could win the next mayoral race. Group walk-ins are easy and the atmosphere is casual—but if you want to add a little flare, there’s also champagne." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
