Fried chicken is the name of the game at this North Beach takeout counter - and it’s some of the best in SF. And if you happen to be passing by on Broadway, minding your own business, the smell of freshly-fried meat wafting through the air makes it almost physically impossible to stop yourself from stepping into the small spot and ordering some.
The menu here is simple, highlighting the flawless, juicy fried chicken with crisp breading. There are just four fried chicken sandwiches, chicken combination boxes with sides, and a few salads. We love the Original sandwich, which comes with shredded lettuce and house sauce on a fresh, soft bun and nails all the pillars that make a fried chicken sandwich great. In terms of sides, the creamy, refreshing macaroni salad is our favorite by far, but you can also get fries seasoned with Old Bay, steamed white rice, or coleslaw. Walk down the street to the park and enjoy the chicken while people-watching in Washington Square, or take your to-go boxes home to eat in peace.
