I see this food truck at farmer markets often and finally tried it at a closed SF neighborhood street walk fair. Was starving and ordered the half, but would have been full with a quarter (drum and wing). The flavors are ok. Recommend to get the sauce for seasoning. They offer a green and red sauce. Most folk know what to order so they keep things moving. Grab and go. read more

Roadside Rotisserie - Wickedly Whack Wrap - Chicken Shop Near Me - Alameda, California

They recently stopped by outside where I work and I'd gotten a late start that morning/b hadn't packed my lunch. I was fully prepared to just skip lunch but happened to walk by and couldn't resist. I decided on the half bird with the roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables. A bit on the pricier (to me) side but the food is tasty and flavorful! (A bit salty but I tend to not put salt on anything so this may be a me problem.) Service was friendly and quick! read more

Roadside Rotisserie - Half bird, roasted potatoes, and roasted seasonal vegetables! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Alameda, California

This place is delicious. I love the chicken it is so tender and juicy. I love the veggies, they are so delicious and soft. It is truly great chicken and other food. read more

Picked up a whole bird at the North Berkeley Farmer's Market for $20. Such a fun food truck idea - they are legit roasting those birds right there and then making it so fresh! You could smell them roasting a mile away - with that beautiful glistening brown skin. There was a subtle brine and really well cooked. Great packaging with reheat instructions. Wish that bird was organic tho - or maybe options for the organic upgrade? They also had a full menu of chicken sandwiches. I didn't partake but they looked interesting. Regardless, bird, bird, bird, bird's the word. A great option for some juicy chicken! read more

Roadside Rotisserie - Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Alameda, California

I don't know what y'all are talking about the food being bland. We didn't try the ribs but the chicken was pretty tasty. I don't usually like the breast but they got some flavor in it. read more

I recently saw their food truck at the Martinez Kaiser and decided to try the ribs($16) with large potatoes($5). I was really excited to try the ribs and my husband wanted the potatoes. We only got one meal to share before heading home. The texture on the ribs was good, but to us it was missing some kind of bark to give it just a bit more of a firmer texture and they also lacked flavor. We got the hot sauce to go with the ribs but that also didn't add much more flavor to the ribs just a small hint of spice. The potatoes were ok, nicely roasted, seasoned and tasted good with the hot sauce but a bit dry and not very tender. I didn't feel like the hot sauce was too spicy, reminded me more of a tomatillo salsa. To me it wasn't anything I would crave and need to get again. It tasted good for being at the right place right time but not something I would go searching to eat again or pick over other options. read more

I visited their spot on Saturday at the Larkspur Landing Marin Country Mart farmer's market. I got the chicken wrap, which I understand is served cold. It was not good. It tasted a bit sour and unfresh. Further, my Mom got their duck dish which they had a sign up on the counter for $20. but when she went to pay, they said it was $22. When she asked why the price difference the guy said the price was wrong. Talk about false advertising! She asked if they could honor their posted pricing, and the guy just took the sign and threw it on the ground behind him instead. I guess this is indicative of the type of customer no service you will receive here. read more

3.5 stars Better experience this time getting the chicken. It was moist, flavorful, and slightly crisp skin. Nice and hot, right off the rotisserie. Broccoli was kinda cold though. read more

Tried this truck for the first time today. I'm going to keep it brief. The side portions are generous but it is hands down the most flavorless food I've had in a very long time. The veggies weren't hot (we were warned that we would need to heat them up). The potatoes taste like nothing. The chicken was meh. I won't be trying this again. read more

Got the 1/2 rack of pork ribs at this food truck at the Kensington Farmers Market. Ate one - meh! How you make pork ribs tasteless and stay in business as a barbecue truck, I don't know. Threw these away and went out and got some pork ribs from a local deli -- delicious! read more

Very happy to see this truck at a local food trucks event. The chicken is tasty and moist! I ordered a whole bird and it was very good. I didn't realize they had ribs and pork loin too. I will plan to grab those next time I see them. It would be great if they had pairing sauces available to serve with the meats. I had some Peruvian sauces at home so it worked. read more

tried roadside rotisserie at work recently at their food truck and it was such a fun experience since ive never seen a food truck with all the rotisserie chicken still rotating on the rack. though i was very tempted to try their chicken i decided very last minute that i wanted to get their ribs instead. in which i did like but i felt like their flavor/seasoning wasn't as strong but i felt like the spicy tomatillo sauce really added to it. as for my sides i tried the kale salad in which i also felt like i expected more flavors/seasoning but also didn't really taste the lemon garlic vinaigrette. definitely wish i got the roasted potatoes and chicken to try too! tips: - they are very generous with their portion - i really like their spicy tomatillo sauce - service was quick and friendly - food menu is perfect for all ages! read more

Was disappointed with this visit at the Farmers Market in Alameda. 1) Was told it would be a 10 min wait but instead waited 28 mins 2) Chicken was not as seasoned as my previous orders from other locations 3) Was given a partial order of potatoes cause they were running out and combined it with the chicken which made the potatoes soggy read more

The food was fine, but I was rather disappointed in the service. The cashier was speaking with a customer for 5-6 minutes, while another employee was standing around. My mother asked the other employee if there could get a half bird, which he served, then when he handed the chicken to the cashier, he said that my mother had cut the line and that next time she would be charged extra. Extremely unprofessional considering there was no line. I usually love their food was was rubbed the wrong way by the interaction. read more

My toddler and I were out for the day, just the two of us. We started our morning seeing the Irish dancers at the Waterlight Plaza and then wandered over to the Walnut Creek Farmer's Market (Sunday mornings). At the Market, I spotted the Roadside Rotisserie which caught my eye. They were roastingleftover chicken on the side of the truck, and I spotted the roasted potatoes sitting under the rows of chickens, just like on the streets of Paris. Yum! I thought this would be a nice treat to share with my son as he loves potatoes too. It was $2 for a small or $4 for a large, so I figured I'd get the large size To my surprise, the large was gigantic! This has to be one of the best deals in the Bay. My son and I had a generous amount, but there was still so much left over, so I drove it home to put the fridge. on-siteWe shared it the next day with our lunch and it crisped up nicely in our air fryer. The only caveat is it wasn't as tasty as roasted potatoes in Peru or France that are done under the rotisserie chickens. Although they were seasoned with rosemary, these definitely needed more seasoning and salt. Thankfully, by chance, I had a little packet of salt in my purse with me which helped. The next day at home, I served them with dipping sauce and it was even better. Dollar for dollar though, I'd get them again. It's a fantastic side dish, but I would bring them home vs eating on site, so I could decorate them with more seasoning and dipping sauces. There also isn't anywhere to sit and enjoy them at the farmer's market in downtown Walnut Creek, read more

Roadside Rotisserie - Massive large portion for $4 - Chicken Shop Near Me - Alameda, California

Mobile Food Truck with a giant Foam Chicken on top. They have great eye-appeal and crowds thanks to the truck design, uniforms, and rows and rows of meat turning slowly dripping fat down onto vegetables underneath. Unfortunately the food was not that good. We tried the ribs and the rotisserie chicken. Both were overcooked to the point of being dry and hard. Grocery store and Costco rotisserie chicken is much better. Some bites of the ribs had a good porky taste but other ones were too dry. The broccoli and cauliflower were so hard we threw it away after trying very hard to eat it. It did smell good though from all the drippings. read more

Always a must have when going to Walnut Creek farmers market. The chicken, ribs with veggie combo is a must try. Pretty reasonable too.

We were driving and noticed this little Roadside Rotisserie truck, literally! So we decided to stop. It was parked inside an seniors facility center. We ordered the baby back ribs and the pork loin combo. Baby back ribs were a la carte, not very juicy, a little dry. The pork loin was very flavorful but a little dry as well. The potatoes looked very seasoned, but they were bland. Maybe if they had some kind of sauce it would be better. Would I come back? Yes. Maybe the time of day I came was bad. I recommend just for people to say they got a rotisserie chicken off the street! Staff was friendly and efficient. read more

They have a food truck in the farmers market of inner sunset every Sunday. Their food smells delicious and I could not resist. Just wanted a snack and got their potatoes that have been cooking under dripping chicken fat! That may sound gross to some people, but it gives the potatoes so much natural flavor. The potatoes were also only a few dollars and way more than enough to split with my husband. Great price, delicious food, hard to beat. They also sell whole chickens and ribs you could take home for the whole family. Definitely recommend the potatoes! read more

Roadside Rotisserie - Menu - Chicken Shop Near Me - Alameda, California

Ran into this well polished food truck at a local Street Eats. Their truck is an eye-grabber for any legit foodie. Behind a stainless steel background, lies rows and rows of spinning spits, rotisserie-ing glistening whole chickens and whole racks of baby back ribs. And underneath all those spinning meats are chunked up potatoes and veggies, getting rained on by all those glorious meat drippings. I'm a bit primal and old school when it comes to food, so this visual had me like a moth to a flame, a sea gull to a school play yard, a hipster to a kombucha bar...ya get it, yes? Nice compact menu where they don't try and offer too much, thus increasing their chances for mediocrity or disappointment. Easy to read menu as well, which you can't say for most other food trucks. So without hesitation I give them a whirl. Since I knew I was going to be trying other things at the event, I only tried 1 thing here just to get a feel. 1/4 Bird ($8/3.5*) You'll get a drumstick and thigh portion, as one piece. Chicken only too, so any side you'll have to get separately. But everything is so reasonably priced that it doesn't feel like you're being nickel n' dimed. Menu says 'Thyme, garlic and exotic spices'. First the good, the chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked with a really nice browning and flavorful somewhat crisp skin. It isn't crazy salty like most grocery chains where they will inject the chickens with a brine, so the salt in imbedded into the meat. This tasted really natural, you actually taste more chicken than you do seasoning. Cept that may be more bad than good, for our society's thirst for salt and seasoning is really on the high side, due to our regular consumption of processed/ready made foods. Now this lack of brining may also affect this product in another way as well. A good dose of brining is also an insurance that the meat will stay nice and juicy, as external liquid is now inside the meat, whether through osmosis or injection. The actual meat here is actually quite dry, even for dark meat. Nothing horrible but it'll make Costco's chicken look like a white water rapids in terms of juice. But this could also be a result from the chicken sitting too long in a holding area. Rotisserie'd food has a real tight window on it's optimal state, really should be consumed within an hour after a good 15-20 minute rest out from the heat source. The longer it sits from there, it will simply get drier. So great flavor but kinda wished it was more juicy. Small side of potatoes ($2/3*) Great on paper/concept. Cubed yukon golds sit underneath all them roasting chickens, to get slathered with all them meat drippings. Again great flavor, super strong chicken flavor and aroma, as it was really being bathed in chicken drippings. Not crazy seasoned which I actually liked, I could really taste the potato. But very al dente and some cubes were even a tad crunchy. I like my potatoes super hot and quite creamy. But I took home the generous serving (like easily 2 servings) and fried it again the next morning with more onions and bell peppers. Made for an awesome hash as the potatoes on that second cook, really softened them up. I would most definitely give them another whirl. I would totally try one of their wraps and I definitely wanted to try their homemade pate. Couldn't do it all on one out, so a second/third try is definitely in order. 3.5 stars but rounding down til I've tried more things. read more

While visiting Spark Social Food Truck park in SF. Saw that Roadside Rotisserie had their truck their and was like before I go I have to try soms of their chicken. So on round 2 of finding good things to eat. Decided to grab a half chicken with potatoes and veggies. Man not gonna lie the Chicken was bomb.com Tender , seasoned very well with crunch chicken skin that was amazing. Meat was juicy and not dry as white meat easily could be dry. So was happy about that. The only thing that stopped this from being 5 out of 5. The Veggies weren't seasoned very well outside of that. The potatoes were smakin and the chicken was bomb. Definitely would recommend them to all my friends read more

Roadside Rotisserie - Half of Chicken w/ Roasted Potatoes, Broccoli and Cauliflower - Chicken Shop Near Me - Alameda, California

Strolling through the Larkspur Farmer's Market, I caught the delicious smell of roasting meats. The rotisserie meats look delicious and the drippings fall on potatoes and brussel sprouts. I had to pick up a half chicken and a side of brussel sprouts. The kind man served me up and bagged it well in a foil lined carry out. Yum! A quick reheat and it's actually two meals for me! Tender moist chicken with the brussel savory from the roasted dripp'ns! They also serve up pork ribs, pork loin, and turkey thighs. You can find them in your hood by the following link: http://roadsidesf.com/location read more

It smells better than how it tastes Giving it three starts because I think the truck in the ferry building does it better. Half bird Honestly I would not recommend it although it looks and smells super good. However, when you get into the meat, it's really dry and kind of flavorless. The juices from the skin and the flavor from the seasoning did not soak into the chicken. Baby back ribs This is much better than the bird in my opinion although i don't think this is the best selling item on the menu. Half potatoes and half Brussels sprouts Both are pretty good! It's just some pieces can be a bit too salty there happen to be a large chunk of salt on those pieces. read more

Roadside Rotisserie - Half bird + baby back ribs + half Brussels sprouts and half potatoes - Chicken Shop Near Me - Alameda, California

As much as I enjoy checking out different food trucks and what they have to offer, the rotisserie ones have never been all that high on my list. I love rotisserie chicken, and Roli Roti is one of my favorites (though, more for their porchetta sandwich), but I always assume/fear I'll end up getting dry and overcooked chicken. Not to mention the fact that the challenge of not making a mess while eating half a chicken off a small tray wasn't something I wanted to tackle right before some vendor meetings...ha! Looking over the menu, Roadside Rotisserie's menu looked very similar to Roli Roti's, but with a few deviations - slightly different meat options and sides, as well as wraps over sandwiches. Sadly, they didn't have a pork prochetta option that I would have loved to try, so I opted instead to order their ROTISSERIE PORK LOIN COMBO, which included a "slice" (read: chunk) of Pork Loin and a side of their Herb Roasted Potatoes ($12). After pulling my order from my bag, I was pleasantly surprised by how good everything looked. Sadly though, the actual taste of everything didn't quite match up. While the tenderloin was really moist, I thought it needed a bit more seasoning, as it tasted like plain pork. Granted, that's what the sauce was there for, but I found it to be very overwhelming. As for the potatoes, it was pretty solid (albeit soft in texture). It didn't catch a ton of the chicken fat drippings, but it had just enough to complement the herbs. Now, while I certainly don't regret not getting the rotisserie chicken, I have to admit the chunks of chicken I saw sitting on their cutting board looked pretty good. So much so that I considered coming back to try it before writing this review. That is, until my coworkers ended up checking it out later the same day. Their verdict? Dry and underseasoned (some parts were fine, others were lacking), though the portion was fair. What a shame. Even though I may not have tried the one thing that everyone gets when they come here, I can't say I'm terribly disappointed to have missed out based on what my coworkers had to say. Perhaps I'll give it a shot one day, but even then, I might be more inclined to try it as part of one of the wraps their menu has to offer. At the very least, it'll be a lot cleaner and easier to eat that way! read more

Roadside Rotisserie - Rotisserie Pork Loin with Herb Roasted Potatoes - Chicken Shop Near Me - Alameda, California

I tried this location at the Fremont Street eats in early October. I opted for the half chicken for $10 which I think is a pretty reasonable value for food trucks, and for the amount of chicken. The chicken was cooked to perfection and was really flavorful. I think taking the chicken and adding some really great homemade sides would be an amazing dinner. I will definitely be back. read more

Checked out Roadside Rotisserie at Spark social - I had the Pork Loin, Brussel Sprouts, and their tomatillo salsa () Everything on the rotisserie looked so good - but I saw they had some pork loin left and I HAD to try it. It was really good, pork was super moist while still having a nice crisp on the outside. Brussel sprouts were ok - I wish they had a bit more char but the tomatillo salsa added a punch of flavor - beware it is spicy! read more

For something different that you don't get often, sure try out the Roadside Rotisserie food truck at the Farmers Market. I thought the whole chicken was okay. My total bill was about $23 with 15% tip that you can customize if you wanted to. Although there was a constant line to buy food here, the chicken didn't wow me so I wouldn't be crazy to chase down the chicken truck if I do see it. I will still continue to laugh at it if I see it driving in the freeway because how often do you see a giant cooked chicken on the roof of a food truck? LOL it's great marketing for sure! read more

On Saturday I visit the Diablo Valley Farmers Market in Walnut Creek to peep Roadside Rotisserie, because who doesn't love swiveling meat dripping their juices on top of delicious veggies and taters? Because, I don't wanna meet em'. The staff here was fire, just like the food they serve and OMgoodness this chicken was so good, I had to see what the ribs were about and they did not disappoint. Yeah so it was just me there, but I got myself a whole ass chicken, the ribs and some potatoes AND they hooked me up with some salsa verde and bbq sauce that turned this meaty meal up 10 notches. When I say finger licking, this is the place that pops into my mind. I will definitely be hitting them up at the farmers market because this is probably the best reason to go... (sorry organic honey). For the money you spend you will not be disappointed in any of the choices available to you, come hungry leave happy! read more

Roadside Rotisserie - Nasty tasting chicken and veggies!!! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Alameda, California

Roadside Rotisserie is a food truck that hails from San Francisco. I was at the Newark Farmers Market, and the first thing I spot -- technically, smell -- is this food truck. They had Chicken and Ribs on the rotisserie, and the Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts were grilling underneath the rotisserie. After circling the Farmers Market twice, I headed toward the truck. The guy manning the truck was nice and friendly. Looking over the menu, I chose the Dry Rubbed Rotisserie Chicken (Quarter Bird) and Grilled Brussel Sprouts. The food was ready in a matter of moments. The food tasted great. The price was a bit expensive, but that's food trucks for you. I'll try out their Ribs next time. read more

First of all you can smell that rotisserie chicken around the block. We followed our nose and it led us here. We got a quarter bird chicken with roasted potatoes for our 6 year old that loves chicken. Their chicken was well marinated. It's moist and so flavorful. The roasted potato has a hint of rosemary. The combo compliments each other very well. We were very satisfied with our meal. We would definitely come back. read more

Purchased half a bird and potatoes at their truck in the sunset farmer's market. Food was good but be aware. They told me it was $15.50 but to my surprise they had charged my card several $$ more.

Not very good, food wasn't tasty at all..... Chicken wrap tasted like a weird chicken salad with too much cucumbers and not enough "aioli" on a overly large wheat tortilla, talk about Dry!!! This particular food truck that showed up to the tesla Factory in Fremont. like, if "whatever" was edible food option, and they're trying to sell it off apperaance, The Potato dish i tried was overly greasy and soggy, then given a weird sauce option (Korean BBQ or spicy sauce).
