We came later in the day around lunch time and it was pretty empty but this did not affect the food at all. We got sat right away and placed our order through the QR code and it was out in less than 10 minutes. I got the chicken and waffle and it was delicious, waffle cooked to perfection. It isn't a light waffle but still very delicious. My girl got the burrito and she always loves that. Very delicious place and very nice staff. read more

the staff are really nice, we came at 1:35pm on a Saturday and they close at 2pm but still took us in and served us. this location is much smaller than the potrero hill location so it gets lined up much more easily. food is equally good! their potatoes are really good, crispy outside and soft inside. we tried the memphis burrito (a really hefty burrito) and the fried chicken benedict, I liked the latter more but the former is great if you're really hungry read more

Cracked & Battered - Marina - C&B Plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place deserves the hype it gets!! Palestinian owned delivering amazing chicken and waffles. The food was sooo good. I loved the C&B because I got to try everything and the chicken was juicy, and the waffles were so soft but had a good crisp too. Ugh thinking about next visit here! Owner was very nice, unapologetically Palestinian, and clearly loves checking in with the customers. The space is so cute with Palestinian decor and Eid decor. I love that this spot is halal too. Will be coming back!! read more

No bacon! But you probably figured that out, it's a nice clean atmosphere, us five guys ran in and plopped down for morning protein before redwoods. Got great service, decent menu, I only needed coffee and ditched for down the block my friend discovering his latte here wasn't worth it unless all other options closed. Chicken and waffles, eggs, pancakes, and no complaints; they finished I quickly hardly a crumb left by time I returned with a coffee. Prices are the usual city, double what we are used to in Indiana but eggs are a rare commodity in Cali! read more

an amazing restaurant and with the most helpful staff! came to san francisco for a little vacation and we were starving from the drive and my friend who lives here recommended it to us. i ordered the fried chicken sandwich with french fries. the fries were delicious especially with some ketchup. probably some of the best fries i've ever had. the chicken sandwich as well was amazing! my friend wasn't a fan of the sauce that he got with his order so i took it from him and i'm so glad i did! i think it was some sort of aioli but with the sandwich it compliments it so well. the chicken really was crispy and the coleslaw it comes with was really good as well. the vibes were also nice since it was more like brunch times. definitely would recommend this place as someone that isn't a local. read more

Cracked & Battered - Marina - fried chicken sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

Absolutely delicious meal. Restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. You can scan a QR code to order and pay right from your phone which is convenient. Service was fast even when all the tables were full I ordered the C&B plate, which is $22 without taxes or tip. The chicken was fried nicely and was quite juicy, definitely not dry at all (I think they use boneless thigh meat). Waffles were fluffy and paired nicely with the syrup and butter. You can order the eggs scrambled, over medium, or over hard. I went with over medium and it had a nicely flowy yolk. The potatoes really stood out to me because they were crispy on the outside and still fluffy on the inside. I've had experiences at other places where the potatoes become soggy, but not at this place. And they were seasoned perfectly Overall, I'd rate this meal an 8.5/10. Pretty on par pricing for the Bay Area/SF for a delicious and filling meal. Would definitely come back and try more items read more

Great spot for breakfast! The space was small and a little tight but they managed to have plenty of tables indoors and outdoors. It is pretty warm inside, but outside was pretty loud with car traffic and the sidewalk busy with foot traffic. The food is served quickly after placing an order through a QR code. The waffle was great! Soft and crunchy and complimented with fresh fruit, syrup (not the maple kind) and powdered sugar! The fried chicken was semi grey I didn't get a chance to try anything else but it all seemed delicious! not a bad spot overall read more

Small space off Chestnut. They do turn over tables fast. The waitress was nice and helpful. I went for peppermint tea and the spinach-onion-feta omelette. The omelette was stuffed with fillings and was super tasty. The plate came with an orange and english muffin. A few notes .. the spinach would have been better if it was chopped before it was wilted. The loose leaf tea was $9 .. ouch!!!! I am also so done with QR code menus. read more

We visited Cracked & Battered on a Thursday around 12:30 PM, and when we arrived there were a lot of people waiting outside. Once we got on the waitlist, the estimate was about 30 minutes. While we waited, we walked around and did a little shopping since there are some cute stores nearby. We came back about five minutes before our wait time was up and were seated within the next 10 minutes. The owner is super friendly and funny -- he really made us feel welcomed right away. It's also really easy to order here. Once you sit down, there's a QR code at the table where you can order and even pay ahead of time, and the food is brought straight out to you. Before we even asked, two waters were already placed at our table, which was such a plus. The inside is pretty small and can feel a little cramped depending on where you sit, but honestly the vibe and the food make up for it. Our food also came out very quickly. There was a small mix-up with my eggs -- I ordered scrambled and got over-medium -- but they fixed it right away and even let me keep both, which I really appreciated. We ordered the C&B plate and it was SO good. The chicken was super tender and easy to cut. The waffles were the perfect bite-size (though I still cut them in half), the strawberries were fresh, the potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and my eggs were cooked perfectly. It really felt like the perfect breakfast plate. I also got an iced coffee with vanilla and it was very smooth and delicious. Overall, I had a great experience here. The food was amazing, the service was kind and welcoming, and despite the small space, I would 100% come back and try something new next time. Highly recommend! read more

Attentive and friendly staff, clean and open spot in the Marina district. I ordered chicken and waffles, the chicken was a crispy and lightly breaded boneless thigh and the waffle was a perfectly crispy and light Belgian waffle. The food was hot, chicken was juicy and the waffle melts in your mouth. I wish they had more hot sauce options, but other than that, this place is solid. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday at 10:30, there was only a quick 10 minute wait for 3. Ordering was on a QR code at the table which was nice because we all easily paid our own tabs at the end. Food came out quickly! The restaurant itself is pretty small but has a good seating capacity considering the size. The actual food I wasn't too impressed, but it was not bad either. Would come back, but not in any hurry to do so! read more

Cracked & Battered is definitely a trendy spot and it was very busy when I visited. The vibe is fun and casual, and I can see why it's popular. The menu has a lot of variety and the food was good, but honestly, it didn't stand out enough for me to want to go back. If you're in the area and want to check out a trendy brunch spot, it's fine, just expect it to be busy. read more

Happening spot on Chestnut street with locals and tourists waiting for tables. Not much of a beverage section but their food is fresh and tasty. The service wasn't very organized with one of our orders being totally lost. Our server never checked on us so he didn't know about the missing order until we asked. I also overheard other customers asking for missing items. To top things off you have to pay inside but nobody ever brings you a check! Regardless the food is still good here, just stay on top of service so things don't take forever. read more

Came here for brunch and tried the Nasi Goreng which was fried rice with scrambled eggs and fried chicken. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavor. Everything on the plate worked together really well and felt like real comfort food done right. Service was friendly and the place had a relaxed, casual vibe. Just a heads-up: they don't serve alcohol since it's a halal restaurant, but the food more than makes up for it. 10/10 would recommend, especially if you're looking for something different from the usual brunch fare. read more

Dropped by for breakfast on a weekday morning and loved the food! The service was great, staff are friendly and prices are very reasonable.

My friend and I LOVED Cracked & Battered! Their chicken is crunchy yet still juicy on the inside, and seasoned very well. My friend go their benedict, while I opted for the chicken and waffle. The portion is definitely enough to make you full. My waffle was fluffy and paired so well with the butter and syrup (and of course, the chicken). The service was good, and we even had the chance to sit outside and meet a friendly couple that was sitting next to us. This location is just a bit small, I wish there was more room, but it is SF after all. read more

I'm so glad I tried something different today for some brunchy vibes. I've never had nasi goreng before and I found this to be so awesome. The flavors were comforting, everything paired well, and the seasoning was spot on. But I do recommend getting their chili sauce (sambal) if you enjoy spice like I do. This is a small space so we got lucky with a table for 3 right away as it got busier after we sat. It's a qr code with ordering from your phone only, which isn't my favorite because I'm supposed to commit to a tip before I've even received my food. Food comes out fast though, which was great so it was hot and fresh. Waffle was also crispy and good balance of sweetness. Chicken was all cooked perfectly. read more

We went here about 45 minutes before the closed. We sat inside as it was a bit chilly out. Service was nice although it took a while to get our orders in. The place is pretty basic on the inside. Not much to look at. Very small. I think the outside seating has more people watching. The food took awhile to get. I had the chicken waffles which I know is not a San Fran delicacy. Given that I was just in Nashville, I had a great comparison. You can see my other review from Jason Aldeens place. It was pretty good given the place but it's not top notch like others say. I'm still not used being given cans and bottles of soda and having to pay for refills. Just seems like an odd hill to die on for restaurants when they have no problem selling unhealthy food with large portions. This is more of a trend I see in San Fran that continues here. The reviews hype this place up but I'm not that impressed. Maybe it's a local thing. Given that we ate at over 10 restaurants for lunches and dinners in the last 7 days, we had alot to compare. read more

Good food, good price, friendly wait staff, dog friendly outdoor area. Very well priced for the neighborhood!

I've always seen this place packed every time I walked past it so I knew I needed to try it out! I knew they were known for their fried chicken and waffles since everyone around me was ordering it! I ordered the C&B plate to have a little bit of everything. The waffles were so fluffy and light. The chicken was packed with flavor and not overwhelming or greasy. Together the chicken and waffles bite was incredible. The eggs were cooked perfectly to my liking and so were the potatoes! The potatoes were definitely something to write home about! They were incredibly crispy and fluffy on the inside. The service here is also amazing! I had such a good time talking with the owner and seeing all of the local celebs who've dined here. Everyone here is so nice and welcoming! I'd come back just for the service so it's a plus that the food is equally as good! read more

We came from out of town and were looking for breakfast this one popped up while searching on Yelp, and it did not disappoint!! We also both got fresh squeezed oj that was amazing!! When we first arrived we were tempted to walk away because the place was packed both inside and out... there was a gentleman outside who worked there and automatically greeted us and found us outside seating. The ordering process was super easy using QR code on table. Food came out deliciously hot and tasty the fried chicken was incredibly seasoned. I'll be recommending this place to friends who visit the city and we will keep this place saved for future visits!!! read more

Came here on Juneteenth at about 11am. I knew it was going to be a really long line given that it was a holiday. As expected, there were multiple parties waiting outside. We waited about half an hour before getting seated inside. There are indoor and outdoor tables. Came here with two other friends. I got the chicken and waffles and tater tots for the table. Chicken and waffles 4.5/5 - Their menu is small to begin with. They are known for their chicke and waffles. It definitely did not disappoint. The chicken was juicy, well-seasoned. You really can't go wrong with adding any hot sauce either. The belgian waffle was crispy, yet airy on the inside. Combination of both with some syrup was the perfect bite. Tater tots 5/5 - These were so crispy and golden. Great texture and flavor. Cracked sauce definitely compliment these tots well. It had a balance of tangy, sweet and acidic flavor. Reminded me of a thousand island dressing but so much better. Definitely a top-tier brunch spot for those that love chicken and waffles. I'd love to give the burrito a try next time. Only thing worth mentioning is that I wish it was a tad more clean. The aroma in the air was not pleasant. Tables and floors seemed unkept. Otherwise, staff were friendly and tried their best to accomodate all the guests the best they could. They were attentive with water and asking if we needed anything. Parking can be rough. Meters expensive. I would try residential for free parking first before meter read more

I am a loyal customer at their Potrero Hill location (always amazing), but today I had some errands to do in the Marina, so we decided to give it a try. What can I say? The food was absolutely mind blowing! I shifted from my usual, and got the shakshuka dish...the blend of juicy tomatoes, pinch of spice, topped with perfectly cooked eggs, yes yes and yes again! My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich, and let's just say he was greatly pleased, and nothing pleases this man! We always add a side of dessert...waffles and pancakes. Crispy, fluffy and filled with perfection. What diet? We came on a Thursday afternoon, and were amazed by how busy it was! So happy for them. The staff, especially the owner Moe managed to get everyone seated. Even amongst the chaos, I saw Moe going around to the tables and checking on everyone--very kind and caring The ambiance is great--cozy, especially today since it was super busy, but they manage to keep it organized and easy for the staff to move around. Thank you C&B for always giving us a delightful dining experience! We will definitely be back! read more

Came on a Saturday around 12:30 pm for brunch, and the area was pretty packed. The wait was about 10-15 minutes, which wasn't too bad. We sat outside, but the outdoor seating felt a little chaotic since there isn't much space for dining and people are constantly walking by. While we were waiting, it also felt crowded because there wasn't much room to stand. That said, the owner is incredibly kind and sweet and checked in on us regularly, which we really appreciated. The food was great. The only downside was that the servers seemed a bit confused about which food belonged to which table--at one point, we were brought other people's dishes and had to let them know it wasn't ours. read more

The chicken & waffle plate is amazing! The chicken is crisp on the outside, tender on the inside and savory all around. The waffles were perfectly prepared, served with strawberries and cream. Even a simple eggs and potatoes option had thick and fluffy eggs and potatoes served in a way I've never had before-absolutely loved it! The fresh-squeezed OJ was excellent and it all came together with their friendly and helpful staff. Cracked and Battered has plenty of regulars but it's a must-do for breakfast/brunch fans visiting the city! read more

Got 2 different orders, Fiorentine omelette & fried chicken. Hit a 6 mile run + 100 push ups & 50 pull ups. This food hit like it was cold water in the desert- very nourishing, tasty, balanced. Not too much carbs, high protein, and beautiful flavor combination with the eggs and fried chicken. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly - fried just right so that it was crispy but also juicy, paired perfectly with the Nashville hot sauce. This meal took me on a journey, the sugar from the fruit introduced me to the omelette, and the omelette was the warm up for the final boss fried chicken read more

I went there around 8:15 on a Monday morning. I ordered the chicken and waffle. The whipped butter was ice cold and it was white. I thought butter was yellow. Therefore the waffle was cold. I poured on the cold syrup, which may or may not have been real maple syrup. The chicken was cold and dry. I think I was served yesterday's chicken. A container of something fell on the floor when an employee opened the refrigerator. He picked it up and put it back in the fridge without wiping it down. San Francisco is full of great restaurants. This is not one of them. read more

What a cute little spot in Marina. We were staying nearby at the Cow Hollow Inn and were looking for a breakfast spot. We were within walking distance and decided to check it out. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place. We got lucky and were seated right away. It is a busy spot so there could be a wait. Service was fantastic and they delivered our coffees quickly with creamer and sugar. We split the fried chicken Benedict and it was the perfect portion for two people. The fried chicken was juicy and tasty, but what stole the show for me were the homestyle potatoes. Between the flavor and the texture there was just something about them that I loved. If ever in the area again, we'd definitely go back! read more

I initially thought $22 was expensive for the mini waffles and chicken plate with eggs and potato but i ended up getting full and everything was delicious.

Had a great brunch here during a Christmas visit, before heading over to the Presidio for a show. The chicken and waffles was particularly good. Only regret was the coffee which was sour and acidic; I wish I had gotten hot chocolate instead. The place was packed and we had to wait outside for about 40 minutes for a table. Unfortunately there is no seating for people waiting since it's on a busy downtown street, so we had to stand the whole time. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning with friends and it was easy to grab a table, though it was a little cold in the outdoor dining in January. Good: - The shakshuka was so good! The pita was warm and added a lot to the dish - lots of good variety with the hummus too - The QR codes made it very easy to order food to our table - The C & B plate was also very good, I liked the waffles the most here since they were small but super sweet and the fried chicken was also juicy Bad: - Portion sizes are pretty small for the price - Outdoor seating was pretty cold - Wait time for the food was around 15-20 minutes, which felt long Overall would come again after a run! read more

Met up with four girlfriends for a holiday Monday lunch, and the place was packed. We waited about 15 minutes before finally squeezing all five of us into a table meant for four... outside. Big mistake. That sun was a menace. If you ever wanted to experience what it feels like to be a rotisserie chicken, this was the moment. I was shifting around like a lizard on a hot rock trying to find some shade. Our server, Omar, was awesome, except for the minor whoopsie of forgetting an entrée. But once we pointed it out, he fixed it right away, so no harm, no hangry. Now, onto the food. I got the chicken and waffles, and let me tell you, I almost pulled a diva move and asked if they could swap the waffles for pancakes, but I'm so glad I didn't. That waffle? Exceptional. The chicken? Perfectly crispy, though definitely smaller than the Yelp photos would lead you to believe. And if you love butter? Oh, honey, this is your Mecca of Melted Dairy. They do not skimp. Overall? A solid spot for a girls' lunch, just fight for an indoor table unless you want a tan you didn't ask for. read more
