"A crispy chicken spot in North Beach, closed after six years." - Paolo Bicchieri
"The beauty of SF Chickenbox’s original fried chicken sandwich is in the simplicity—and that it nails all the pillars of a great fried chicken sandwich: crunchy breading, juicy chicken, and a squishy bun. It comes with lettuce and house sauce, and it’s flawless. There’s also a version with jalapeño, hot sauce, and red onion, or a buffalo one with pickles and ranch. Whatever you order goes well with Old Bay-seasoned fries and their chewy mochi muffin." - julia chen 1, lani conway
