Amazing fried chicken. Must stop and have fried chicken and potato wedges. You won't regret it.

11/30/20 Ever since being dragged to some random gas station between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe by my friend, to try some random gas station fried chicken....... And absolutely loving it!!!... I've been on a quest to find more! This here's not the same. Chicken was pretty good. Sorta reminds me of Church's. But not epic like that other gas station. Coating was pretty crispy, but again not epically. Chicken was medium juiciness, or at least the thighs were. Didn't have much selection though--looks like they make their fried chicken from mutants that only have thighs and wings. Dunno how they walk. Guess they don't need to. Maybe just hobble around on their stumps? The coated and fried potato wedges weren't crisp, and just didn't taste good. Biscuit was fine. I ordered a "snack" size and the cashier just upgraded me to something, saying it's the same price. Thanks! 3/5 #gasstation #gasstationchicken #friedchicken #southernfriedchicken #ridgecrest #deathvalley2020 read more

Absolutely disgusting. This place has to be shut down. My brother in law got chicken from there. He got larva. Now he is on antibiotics. read more

I was impressed! After boycotting our local KFC, I've been looking for a fried chicken alternative. Chester's is a fast food inside of the Chevron gas station. We ordered the 8 piece meal which comes with two sides and 4 biscuits. My wife said their prices are good and enjoyed their food. Their fried chicken is good, their mac and cheese is even gooder if that's a word, and their potato wedges are good. Their biscuits are made from that croissant type dough, so they're way better than KFCs dry brittle biscuits. The Chevron store has that newer look to it, well maintained and clean. Their employees are competent and professional. The next time I want to get my fried chicken craving taken care of; I will be coming back again. There is also a "Bobby Salazar's" Mexican food next to Chesters. I have not tried their Mexican food yet; but I will definately try them sometime soon. Since everything else was good; I'm confident that their Mexican should be good as well. We filled our gas tank before we ordered, so it's very convenient to kill two birds with one stone. read more
