It takes some serious willpower to walk by this cart full of roasted chickens and ribs without stopping for a bite. There are apparently several of these parked around downtown, but my go-to spot is the cart parked right next to the Amazon Go store on California. It's a bit of a walk from my office, but the radiating heat from the cart and aroma of sweet chicken juice makes the trip all the more worth it. I usually get the half chicken with 1/2 brussel sprouts and 1/2 potatoes, because how can you turn down potatoes roasted in chicken fat? This alone is enough to be split into two servings (and/or feed a small family for sure). Such a cool concept and the portions are totally worth it for the price. If are times when you find yourself hungry at lunch hour in FiDi and a $15 tossed-to-order salad just won't cut it, definitely keep this in mind. read more

Country Grill - 1/2 chicken with half brussels and half potatoes (sauce is optional but super tasty) - Food Trucks Near Me - San Francisco, California

Chickens rotating on top of more chickens? In terms of visual impact, nothing compares to the dripping of protein essence for that added flavor. Where do the excess juice and fat go? To the brussel sprouts and potatoes at the bottom for that full chicken immersion! Crispy skin and tender flesh, the chicken was cooked to perfection with a light touch of seasoning. For those wanting a little kick, there's always that bottle of hot sauce by the utensils. Will be back for sure (for that medieval style whole chicken experience)! read more

The first time I ordered a whole bird from this truck, I murdered that bird to the bone. The chicken was so plump, tender and flavorful I felt like it was my personal Thanksgiving. At first, I thought this truck was going to taste similar to Roli Roti (as seen in your typical Bay Area Farmer's Markets)......WRONG!!!! Roli's chickens are mediocre compared to Country Grill. C.G. even serves up pork ribs that are soooo delicious. However, I was disappointed to get a slather off ribs that we're not "well done". The ribs were thoroughly cooked, but I always prefer crispy ribs (from the outside). C.G. gets big points for serving Hoisin sauce (like a sweet Chinese BBQ flavor made with soy bean paste). The sauce adds another dimension to their already tasty protein!!! read more

Country Grill is goooooood. If the smell doesn't lure you in, the giant chicken on top of their truck will surely catch your eye. We got... - Rotisserie chicken - Short ribs - Potatoes - Brussel sprouts All were amazing. My mom, who is one of the pickiest eaters you will ever meet, along with my dad, one of the best BBQers and rib-cookers on the planet, both raved and raved. They were very skeptical beforehand, but the food was so great they forgot to be pleasantly surprised. Super cool seeing them enjoy 'merican street food so much. read more

SUMMARY: The high prices bring down an otherwise weak 4 in my book to a low 3. Rotisserie chicken and rib truck that serves some sides like potatoes and brussel sprouts that are above average. Great design on the truck though! FOOD Finally decided to give this place a try as it parks on Beale right in front of my work. Hey the truck is pretty cool from the outside and then the smell ain't bad! But was is bad was the price. $16 for a 1/4 chicken and brussel sprouts? Daaayumn. I mean I get it, it's food truck fare and prices. But c'mon, really? As for the taste, it was rotisserie chicken. Nothing really set it apart from say the local grocery store's rotiserrie chicken. And the brussel sprouts were nothing special either. I just think the value to taste isn't there. SERVICE Reasonably quick and professional. read more

Soooo good! The idea was to eat something fast, not greasy, as much healthy as possible, not sitting in a restaurant for a couple of hours, since we wanted to enjoy the beautiful day on the beach...it seemed like just impossible, right? Usually street food can be pretty caloric...then we were taking a look at all those food trucks and we saw this cute bottom of a giant chicken on top of one of the truck, we read the extra short menu and decided to give it a try. We had roasted potatoes, chicken and pork ribs, all super tender, juicy and delicious. The whole meal was tasty but not greasy..for my palate a bit salty, but very, very good. We enjoyed it looking at the ocean, with a nice breeze in the air and...a lots of hungry birds surrounding us, waiting for a bite:)))) so cute :))))) read more

Country Grill - Food Trucks Near Me - San Francisco, California

ROTISSERIE TRUCK ACROSS FROM MY WORK For lunch if I don't bring lunch to work I need to buy a quick bite to eat as I only have an hour before I go back to work. Though there are a lot of places to eat in the Financial District some of the good eateries can be several blocks away from my work that can cut my lunch time by walking there and standing in line to order. My work is across the street where this food truck parks at the curb on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to serve rotisserie chicken. When I pass by this truck on those days I can smell the buttery chicken and see it spinning on the rotisserie rack. The taste of the chicken is delicious as it's juicy and flavorful. Having the chicken with a side order of roasted potatoes or Brussels sprouts can make this a hearty yet healthy meal. I've also had the ribs and they're succulent. However I come back for the rotisserie chicken. Is it pricy? Yes as a half chicken at this food truck costs more than a whole chicken at Lucky's, Safeway, Costco, and Food Maxx. But can you find those grocery stores in the heart of the Financial District in San Francisco? No. Though the smell of rotisserie chicken is addicting I don't buy the chicken every time I pass by this truck because this would cut my weekly budget. For convenience purpose if I'm craving chicken for lunch all I need to do is take a quick walk across the street from my work to this rotisserie truck. read more

Country grill is a robbery, food good for the heart and soul without clogging your arteries. It's a food truck so first gotta find this place (on their website) I'm sick regurgitating food just to make some space. Buy a whole chicken, and split that with a friend for some money savin' (~ $3) and now the juices on ten. Introspecting, this rotisserie got me thinking of my first kiss, my first love, reminiscing of my first taste of chicken as a young gun. It's grilling nonstop, rotor rolling, off the top dripping juice on their 'sides', that innovative juicing method has me running back for more. Now take a bite and experience everythin', the chicken skin under fingernails, your oily napkin. Poultry passing through the entrails, potatoes get us napping. Top that with a side of kale and you'll get to rapping about chicken. read more

First visited because of the chicken. And now they added ribs. All I can say is Wow. And Yum. All small words because my mouth is full. Best rotisserie I've had. read more

Have you ever wanted A WHOLE CHICKEN for lunch? Well now you can get A WHOLE CHICKEN with a side of home fries or kale salad (but let's be real - you've gotta go with the potatoes). Yes you can also order just a half chicken or a quarter chicken, but getting A WHOLE CHICKEN is more cost effective. The chicken is a bit on the dry side though. The potatoes are just ok. The chicken gets plopped on the potatoes so it gets difficult to get to. But seriously - wow you can get A WHOLE ROTISSERIE CHICKEN from a FOOD TRUCK. read more

Country Grill - Brilliant idea: rotisserie chicken truck - Food Trucks Near Me - San Francisco, California

Went here for a quick lunch. Its a cool cart with chickens on rotisserie in front of you. I ordered a half chicken with a large order of roast potatoes. Food arrived in 2 minutes and was a huge portion which I was able to split into 2 meals. Taste wasnt bad but its about what youd get from a grocery store rotisserie chicken meal. read more

I love the food here, but two points one might want to consider before eating here: * They cook potatoes under the chicken. Unfortunately, when the chicken is raw, the marinate/particles fall off into the cooked potatoes, which are then served. This is a serious health hazard. This reason alone will make me stop coming here * They don't let you sauce your chicken/potatoes anymore and the guy serving the sauce is pretty rude. read more

This truck is pretty good for lunch in SoMa. It's $17 for a whole chicken, which is a bit expensive, which is why I'm taking off a star. Other than that, it's very tasty and flavorful. They serve vegetables as well like Brussels sprouts and cauliflower which go well with the chicken. read more

Country Grill - Food Trucks Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was in the Financial District for a doc's appointment. I smelled the chicken from a block or two away. I walked up, a very courteous gentlemen asked me for my order. I was surprised - there wasn't a line and it was 1pm. I ordered the 1/4 chicken and a side of potatoes. Pretty impressive that it only cost $10! I sat on a bench near the Plaza by the Phil's Coffee. I ate in the sun. DELICIOUS. You can tell they use real herbs in the chicken. I'm only giving it 4 stars because it was kind of messy. Greasy-ish potatoes and a chunk of chicken is not the easiest lunch to eat on the go, from a good truck. But I recommend. read more

The wonderful smells coming from this truck had me longing for the chicken for days, since the lines were too long. But today I was late so there was no lines. Only to be totally disappointed: ( The potatoes were just plain boring and the chicken dry. Sorry but I won't be going here again since the other food trucks are so great. read more

We have been trying this truck several times at the farmer market in Jack London Square but I think that for 19 dollars, portions become smaller and smaller. I sure hope the chicken is organic for that price. It tastes good but the portion of potatoes is just ridiculous. Please be consistant . The guy at Jack London was really nice though. Before it was that older guy not especially nice. read more

This was a great change. Please come back ASAP! Yes, the chicken is good! Crispy and crunchy on the outside and juicy and moist meat on the inside yet not so cooked that it turns to mush. Yes, the potatoes ate great! Crispy on the skin but soft, not mushy. read more

This is the greatest invention ever-rotisserie chicken cooking over beautifully seasoned potatoes and brussel sprouts. I get the 50/50 of potatoes and brussel sprouts. They also have a loyalty program, which is always nice. This food truck is conveniently located seconds from my office. I am now a regular. LOVE IT! read more

This place is pretty pricey for OK food. It is in the financial district. I like that it is right by the work place. I got the ribs and pataos for $15 The cause for the ribs was more of an Asian infused sauce. ( wish it was more smokey flavored) Nice set up and easy to pay. I will try the chicken next time. read more

Smells Better Than It Tastes. Ordered: Quarter Chicken - Tasty, but messy to eat while on a quick lunch break. If you order a whole chicken (which we did) they'll cut it into quarters for you, so that's a plus. Brussel Sprouts - Eh, Average. Could use some more ummph. i.e. bacon or Lime, etc. Other than that, they just taste grilled. Nothing special. Grilled Potatoes - Really Bland. You'd expect the potatoes to be extra flavorful because they collect the chicken drippings, but they were dry and boring. The gentleman cooking and prepping (also on the register) was very polite and accommodating. read more

Passed by to get my lunch here cause the grill looked attractive. Ordered the rib and a side salad, both were pretty disgusting. The kale salad is anything but amazing, and the rib is so greasy that i couldn't finish one piece. The whole thing came out to be kind of expensive, $16. I have had $15 salads in financial district and i understand that if its good salad. This is bad food, all look, no function. read more

For the prices they charge this place is a joke. $13 for four ribs (no sides). The service was poor as well.

This place is great, the only reason I didn't give it 4 stars, and why I don't go there more often is that they almost NEVER have their ribs or pork loin available. You can show up at noon on the dot and nine times out of ten they'll be sold out of 2/3 of their options already. That's why I only come by when I know I want chicken. Because if I'm in the mood for ribs, there's a good chance I'll be disappointed. read more

Sometimes I'm just craving meat, and Country Grill doesn't disappoint. With the smell of fresh chicken and watching them spin round and round on the rotisserie, I always order way more food than I should, and end up uncomfortably full afterward. It's my fault but it just looks so good that it gets me every time. A reasonable order would probably be a quarter chicken and a small side of potatoes or brussels sprouts, but I usually go for a half bird ($10) and large side ($4) of potatoes. All in all, dang great value for the Financial District, quick and friendly service, and good food. read more

Proprietor is very helpful and friendly. He suggested I try the chicken but the ribs looked so meaty and yummy that I had to get them. I opted for the potatoes w/ Brussels sprouts and the optional glaze for the ribs. For lunch it was about $17 and was worth every penny. Yum! read more

I was undecided where to have lunch, when I came to Maiden Alley and saw the their sign saw they are serving food in the alley. I was drawn to the pork ribs being grilled and said why not, I got paid today. Let's splurge. Got large meaty ribs and were cut individually. Had them to go and were placed in a nice insulated bag. Ok this is the kicker, I was not happy, they were meaty and slightly undercook. It needed condiments and BBQ sauce. I pay extra for the side orders of grill saggy potatoes. read more

I have seen their orange and white bag carried in the elevators in my building and it wasn't until a co-worker had the orange white bag I learned of Country Grill Food Truck! I tired them today and I am a FAN!!! I got 1/4 white with potatoes; the breast is juicy and flavorful potatoes fully cooked and well seasoned. Can't wait try their ribs!!! read more

I got the ribs and roasted sprouts. Huge plate but $21.85 seems super expensive even for this area. They should make the size smaller and charge less. I also didn't like that they don't post the different fee for the ribs. They give the appearance they are charging for lunch between $8 and $15. This is in comparison to the other plates they are selling and then out of no where a $21 plate. Maybe a good practice would be post the prices for all the plates. The flavors are good. read more

This place is great for a quick lunch on the go. The smell of the roasting chicken pulls you in so you have to stop by The chicken is moist with lots of flavor. Great deal ! read more

They must have some sort of WunderSmell generator hidden on the truck because it sure as hell ain't coming off the food. Ordered a half bird and a side of potatoes. Couldn't distinguish one from the other or the paper bag it came in because they were all soaked in the same flavorless grease. So learn how to flavor the grease properly (you can do it guys!) and I'll be back with a positive review. Until then I'll be recommending people visit Portico @ 1st & Mission for their rotisserie chicken fix. They got it down. Country Grill guys might want to stop by for a bite to see how it's done properly. read more

The food smells a lot better than it tastes. The chicken was dry inside and was under cooked which led to a very bad afternoon.

I have not yet tried the rotisserie chicken hence the 4 stars given but the potatoes are bomb.com! All the right seasoning and chicken drippings to boot!! I will be back to try the chicken for sure! Great find by the office! read more

Chicken was moist but expensive, roasted potatoes overlooked and chewy. Slab of ribs was dry and tasteless. The rib sauce taste like hoisin sauce. Price was pretty expensive. 17 for a whole chicken, 13 for 4 pieces of ribs and 2 dollars for a tiny bit of overlooked potatoes. This is a try once and never come back again place. read more
