    Gas station fried chicken is underrated. Great spot to grab chicken though the area is a bit sketchy at night if you go alone. Juicy and crunchy. You can also add on sauces like honey mustard too. Picked up a box of fried chicken on a Tuesday for lunch and it stayed warm and crunchy on the walk home. The fragrant smell wafted through the box. The skin is so crispy and I love how flavorful the meat is too. I like pairing this as a protein with a packaged salad for easy weekday lunches. Really quick line and checkout process. Order chicken at the cash register! They ask you how many pieces you want. You can also walk over to the side to see the menu and sides they have in stock. There are some Cajun sides like jambalaya that I want to try next time I stop by.

    Make no mistake, this is literally gas station fried chicken. Think hole in the wall, and add a touch of carbon monoxide poisoning. But hey, I'm not going to judge a book by its cover. There aren't many southern / NOLA-style fried chicken options in the area, and my roommates and I get the hankering some times... I'd been recommended this place by some friends and seen some glowing reviews for this place specifically (out of 3 locations), so we were extremely keen on checking it out. We've gone twice now, and there can be some sketchy characters hanging around, but haven't had any problems going at night. Buddy up... It's open late night and that for sure is worth having around. No sit down, all the food is out under heat lamps, you pay at the counter and take it to go. That being said, I think you can get in and out in minutes, unless they're out of chicken and another batch is in the works. Trust me, that is a very good problem to have. The value of this place is truly mythical. The buckets come out to $1-2/piece which by any standard, most of all by SF's, is unicorn-status. Important logistics note: Flooring it on the 15min drive home, frantically rushing through the door, and getting everything out onto the table, still yields chicken that is indeed *krispy* Review of the dark meat: Skin: Delicate, not quite as flaky as peak Popeyes, but pretty freakin close. Flabor: You can tell there's some secret seasoning magic going on here. Again- not quite popeyes, but real close. My roommates and I all agree that the chicken tends to be quite salty, but not a dealbreaker. Meat: Super tender and the flavor penetration is real. A bite into it and you might see orange residuals (???) inside the chicken. Flavor injection? Must be. But I'm not gonna question it. Just take my money. I'll be back. Guiltily too soon.

    A bartender recommended this place to us for the best fried chicken in town, so here we are. Who would've thought that a gas station will serve up some crispy and crunchy fried chicken? The two of us ordered an 8 piece dark meat fried chicken (thighs and legs) (~$9) and a honey butter biscuit (69cents) with two drinks. It was convenient to grab some other drinks, snacks, and essentials since it was a gas station. Everything came in a cute carton box that looked like a barn. We carried it over to Dolores Park to enjoy, which was pretty nice. The fried chicken was solid and tasty --definitely met the crispy and crunchy aspects. The muffin was different than I was expecting as it was more like a fried honey blueberry muffin, but quite delicious as well! The sweetness was a bit overwhelming, but paired nicely with the savory fried chicken. Note: I like that this place is open 24 hours!

    On our way to another restaurant, my coworker friend decided to check out the fried chicken place (as she calls it). I've never been there or heard of it until she kept telling me there's a great fried chicken place inside the gas station. Wait, what? Gas Station Fried Chicken? Yep, I was pretty skeptical. And they were 24 hours..... We walked from work, it was a pretty long walk if you had to walk by yourself, but I was with my coworker friend so it wasn't too bad. About 6-7 blocks later, we arrive inside the gas station.. it's a pretty cramped space with lots of candies and things to buy. At the left of the register was a section of their fried chicken and a whole menu of things. Their fried chicken is not oily and it lives up to its named.. it's Crispy and Crunchy! Their potato wedges are just average, by the time you get to eat it at the office, they're soft and soggy so meh! Their biscuits are really tasty though. It's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside (that's what you really want anyway). Their fried shrimp is average, I think it's the frozen kind and they just fry it up for you. If you're ever in the area, get their chicken, it's GOOD.. I would say better than KFC, and on the same level as Popeyes!! YUMMMMM!! For those who like their spicy, it has a little mild kick to it. (I only like the chicken's dark meat.. ) I def would be back to get more chicken and their biscuits!

    This place is located in a gas station, and they have their fried chicken sitting there under like a heat lamp. Sounds not so good right? Surprisingly, it was quite delicious and a fair price as well! The fried chicken had a nice flavorful batter and the chicken was cooked decently well (though I guess this would depend on timing, as it's probably better to come when its busy so there is always fresh chicken). And the chicken comes with a blueberry muffin biscuit which was delicious! It was so decadent and you could really taste the oil or butter or whatever it was along with all of the sweetness. Overall quite a surprise that ended up being rather delicious!

    Bad service, great chicken! I ordered in advance for pick up, the cornbread tasted old, and it wasn't what we ordered. Thankfully it was ok.

Also really appreciate them offering $8 "the naked bird" if you want a protein+vegetable option without eating the bun! Which can make for a small light meal if you're on a diet Chicken is JUICY and batter is not too thick, done so well. Comes packed SO neatly in a nice looking bag with the wolf/dog logo! $0.25 for bag. Additional 4% SF mandates fee Cool little spot! with happy hour deals too!

But, I regret to inform the yelp community that it might be the worse chicken sandwich I've ever had! It almost had a cinnamon taste to it, the chicken was hard, and stringy. It also just tasted greasy! I also tried the biscuit tender mini sandwich, and that was worse! It was super tough, and inedible.....I literally took a couple of bites, and had these long pieces of membrane in the chicken that tasted like rubber... I also ordered the curly fries, and those were the best part of the meal. Maybe I just happened to come on an off day, but man I was bummed I spent 30 dollars for something that was inedible! I will say the staff were very friendly, and the place was kept very clean on a positive note.

At least the salad bar workers had done tirelessly their very best to serve health pursuing customers like us. I had my first salad box followed by a grilled chicken torpedo sandwich, which was all thanks to online discounts from its app. I never spend much time in its spacey atmosphere since I went for takeout. Therefore, all I did was to try sharing some of my healthy meals to my family when they need them the most.

It's pricey and not as tasty. The usual salad shop ingredients are here. Typical proteins, veggies, dressings and the like. I'm struggling to think of anything they have that's all that novel clamored to the competition. Maybe Caramelized onions? The taste when all put together just isn't very memorable. Their dressings play a big part here as I've never had one that stood out. I just had their peppercorn ranch dressing and it commits the cardinal sin of many ranches out there - it's more sweet than herby. Nooooo Yeah. In a pinch it'll do but you'll probably have a better salad at many of the nearby restaurants that have some on the menu.

The atmosphere really stands out, with a cool 50s theme that makes the whole experience feel unique and memorable. The burger was the highlight of the meal--juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. It's exactly what you'd hope for from a place like this. The fries were decent, but nothing special--good enough, just not as standout as the burger. The cheese sticks were tasty and cooked well, but at around $18, they felt a bit overpriced for what you get. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and kept things moving smoothly.
