"Surprisingly Good". If you told me I would find good fried chicken at a gas station, let's just say I would smile and nod politely and completely dismiss what you just said. LOL. That would be a mistake about Krispy Krunchy Chicken, located INSIDE the 76 station at Mt Rose Hwy and Thomas Creek. We ordered the 4 piece Meal, to give a try. The meal came with dark meat only, with two drumsticks and two (huge) thighs. We ordered the Red Beans and Rice, and the meal came with their sweet biscuit. The chicken pieces were, well, just huge. The chicken was juicy. The skin was rich with flavor and had a crispy snap. Delicious. The chicken must be injected with some "secret recipe" because all the pieces had a reddish tint to the juices inside. I'm all for it. While the chicken was pretty good, the same can't be said about the sides. The Red Beans and Rice, was some kind of beans topped with white rice. This dish certainly did not scream "New Orleans" to me. The Mashed Potatoes and gravy, while generous in portion lacked a level of texture and flavor to be considered good. The biscuit was topped with a honey glaze. I'm sure some with like the sweetness but for me, not the best biscuit (by far) That said, if we are looking for good fried chicken, Krispy Krunchy Chicken is a solid option. I would just pass on the sides. read more

I stopped by here a little while ago for dinner supplies. The chicken was not hot. It was well below the safety zone of 140°. This is not safe! read more

Food was great, and the place is jam packed at lunch so if your in a hurry, don't be! Great taste on the fried chicken and strips. The Jojos are legendary. Staff was helpful. read more

I was introduced to this hidden gem when I used to work for the post office. I can't believe chicken this good is in a gas station! It is in the Golden Gate Petroleum gas station on the way to Mt. Rose just after Galena. They have a variety of chicken from chicken nuggets to chicken tenders to chicken sandwiches. Their potato wedges are awesome as well! I'm a biscuit guy and I love their biscuits. A surprise hit is their blueberry biscuits. If you love southern and Cajun style chicken, you have to check them out! The gas station attendants are friendly and inside is a typical gas station. Sadly, there are no tables and chairs if you were intending on eating inside. I do suggest to go fairly early because last time I was craving chicken, I drove up and most items were already sold out. I guess they don't really restock items throughout the day as far as sides go. read more

So we came back the next day and yay they take cards again and they have chicken. Now the bad, not a full Krunchy Chicken menu. Missing items like wings, jambalaya etc. They don't make anything fresh. So unless you get there for lunch, you may find dry and hard chicken later on in the day. We were lucky enough to score 2 out of 4 pieces of chicken that were crunchy and juicy. I may eat here again at lunch time but I won't go out of my way. read more

If you've lived in Florida and shopped at Publix, fried chicken is an experience unto itself, and after moving west, this crispy crunchy treat is something I miss on the regular. When I heard Galena Market had a Krispy Krunchy chicken shop inside, I knew this was my shot and I kept planning trips that direction to try and check it out, and this weekend everything came together. The front of the market is brandished with all sorts of wonderful images of the fried chicken and sides offered. Seeing the perfectly crispy and crunchy fried goodness had me excited, but sadly I found the reality didn't live up to the hype. Now, there was definitely some good in this experience, which came in the form of value and tenders, so let me elaborate. I was feeding the family, and after scanning the menu and doing some quick math I landed on the large family meal deal that came with 12-pc fried chicken, 6 tenders, family size fry and 6 biscuits. The total was $35 with tax for everything, and the closest you could come would've been ordering the 8 pc, 6 biscuits and family fries and woulda come out close to $30, and in this scenario you get the tenders too! The tenders were the stars of the show. Lightly breaded and freshly fried, these were big, juicy and delicious. I'd eat these again, especially with the honey mustard and sweet and sour sauce. The 12-pc chicken was a ton of food, and upon request they gave us breast, thigh and wings without the legs (not my fave). The chicken itself had a nice crispy exterior and the meat was juicy, but beneath the crispy skin it was pretty greasy and after a few bites you could taste that in the meat and skin too. I'd wanted to love this and it looked like I would, but unfortunately it was average. Maybe it's better if you hit it right after this comes out of the fryer, like we did with the tenders, but I don't know how to time that. The family size fry is HUGE. Like 2lbs worth of seasoned potato wedges. While it was a lot, these were not the shoestring seasoned fries in the marketing photos on the outside, so I was a little bummed about that. All in all this meal coulda fed 5/6 people easy. It was ok, and a great option for a crowd. If you're looking for a value, this truly is it and you're supporting a local biz too. read more

Hidden at the 76 gas station is this great chicken joint! My sister in law brought this up as she had it when she was in LA I believe so my husband was intrigued. He did some research and didn't realize it is a chain in Florida if I'm not mistaken. My husband loves fried chicken so this was up his alley. We had to try this hidden gem and we were impressed! The chicken was moist, tenders were good, the flavors weren't overpowering and fries were seasoned well. The biscuit was dense, some say it's dry, but I didn't mind it! read more

This review is for the restaurant in the Golden Gate Petroleum at 5190 Sun Valley Blvd., Sun Valley, NV 89433. The chicken I had...four dark meat chicken thighs were pretty good...moist...good crispy Cajun spice flavor. The big wedge potatoes were okay but some of the larger ones were undercooked. The Mac and Cheese was creamy and good and the Jambalaya was okay. It was a very filling meal!! read more

Wanted some chicken tenders without having to drive north to get. I stopped in around 1 pm, like late lunch time. I got the 12 tender box and a side of mashed potatoes with extra gravy. Oddly, other people behind me were asking about the tenders, and the staff was saying there wasn't enough, with no offer to make more? I was a bit confused on that to be honest. The mashed potatoes had barely any gravy. The person filled the bowl up too much with potatoes and so with the little gravy there was, it squished out the top and sides. The chicken was not bad, and was crunchy still, I would go back if headed up to the lake or something, but not sure I'd come back over other chicken places in town. read more

They use the same fryer and the same oil to cook shrimp I'm glad I asked because there's no sign that says so. Otherwise, I could've had a serious anaphylactic allergic reaction read more

I would have never known to try this place out without help from waitress. Chicken is delish and juicy. Not dried out like other places out here. Also the options for a small location is what surprised me. Wish the Sun Valley one had more tables but it was worth the stop. I'll post photos of the food and sides but I inhaled my food before thinking of taking the pics. read more
