Had an amazing breakfast at Cracked & Battered! We went around 9am on a weekend and the inside of the restaurant was almost full, but we were seated immediately. We ordered using the QR code, and the coffee and food came out pretty quickly. The coffee was good and the food was fantastic. I loved the C&B Plate, which came with four mini waffles, one piece of fried chicken, two eggs, and potatoes. It was the perfect breakfast plate! The potatoes were crispy and delicious, and the fried chicken was juicy. The mini waffles were more crispy than fluffy. The Chicken and Waffle was great as well. Service was friendly & fast. It's a small place and the tables inside are pretty close together. The music was quite loud but I didn't mind. We were able to find street parking nearby. read more

We got there around 11 a.m. and were seated right away, even though the restaurant was completely full. We actually got the last open table! When you're seated, they ask if you'd like a physical menu or to order using a QR code. We chose the QR code, and it was super easy to use, especially since we were doing separate checks. Our food came out really quickly. We ordered the fries, hummus, chicken and waffles, a chicken burrito, and a side of hollandaise to dip everything in. Everything was absolutely delicious. You could tell the food was homemade, even the hummus tasted fresh and made from scratch. The staff was incredibly friendly, checked on us throughout our meal, and kept our drinks refilled without us having to ask. We sat outside on a beautiful day, which made the experience even better. Overall, we really enjoyed this spot and will definitely be back. Great food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere! read more

Great food, ordered the wicked chicken Benedict. The eggs were poached with a perfectly runny yolk. Fried chicken was crispy yet juicy and flavorful. Service was quick and efficient. Outdoor patio was a great seating option for a sunny day. read more

The food and drinks were awesome! I loved getting this little platter because I got to taste the chicken, eggs, potatoes, and waffles and everything was perfect! The chicken had so much flavor and the waffle was so fluffy and perfect with butter! Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food. read more

Came here for brunch and was pleasantly surprised by how filling and quick everything was. It's pretty small inside but they also offer outdoor seating. We ordered the fried chicken benedict and shakshuka. The fried chicken benedict was really good and came with a generous amount of hollandaise and hot sauce. The hot sauce added a nice kick without being too spicy. It also comes with a side of potatoes, which were super filling and made the meal feel like a lot of food. The shakshuka was also solid and comes with a huge side of hummus and pita. You can ask for a refill on the pita if you need more, which was nice because there was plenty of sauce to scoop up. Overall, good portions and a satisfying brunch spot if you're in the Marina. Would definitely come back to try some of their other brunch options. read more

I recently visited Cracked & Battered for brunch and tried the chicken and waffles along with the chicken tacos. The chicken and waffles were the highlight of the meal--crispy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the waffles. The chicken tacos were also enjoyable and packed with good flavor. The restaurant has a simple, casual atmosphere that keeps the focus on the food. While the meal itself was satisfying, I was disappointed with the service. The staff did not come across as particularly friendly or welcoming, which took away from the overall experience. Overall, the food was definitely the strong point of the visit, especially the chicken and waffles. If you're looking for a tasty brunch spot, it's worth trying, though the service could use some improvement. read more

This is hands down the best brunch I've ever had and I'm so sad I don't live close. We were seated quickly even though it was busy- it's not a huge restaurant but it still didn't feel cramped which we appreciated. We tried the breakfast burrito and the sampler. One person in our party deemed these the best potatoes they've had. Everything here was a hit and you got quite a bit of food for the price. Highly highly recommend. read more

The chicken was good, the waffles were stunning. Crisp outside, fluffy inside, great flavor. It's a simple, small spot. Service is friendly. read more

First off, holy portions. When we came here, we hadn't eaten anything all morning and were going to be busy traveling all day so we needed something that'd fill us up until 4pm at least (got there at 9:30am). These needs were more than sufficiently met. As for service, they were super quick, we were sat within seconds, then you order & pay via QR code at your table, and then food came out within 10 minutes after placing the order, so super quick turnaround for ordering yourself. Staff are sure to tend to you throughout your meal, checking on refills and any needs. Smooth order process, friendly staff, and great food. read more

Absolutely delicious meal. Restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. You can scan a QR code to order and pay right from your phone which is convenient. Service was fast even when all the tables were full I ordered the C&B plate, which is $22 without taxes or tip. The chicken was fried nicely and was quite juicy, definitely not dry at all (I think they use boneless thigh meat). Waffles were fluffy and paired nicely with the syrup and butter. You can order the eggs scrambled, over medium, or over hard. I went with over medium and it had a nicely flowy yolk. The potatoes really stood out to me because they were crispy on the outside and still fluffy on the inside. I've had experiences at other places where the potatoes become soggy, but not at this place. And they were seasoned perfectly Overall, I'd rate this meal an 8.5/10. Pretty on par pricing for the Bay Area/SF for a delicious and filling meal. Would definitely come back and try more items read more

This place deserves the hype it gets!! Palestinian owned delivering amazing chicken and waffles. The food was sooo good. I loved the C&B because I got to try everything and the chicken was juicy, and the waffles were so soft but had a good crisp too. Ugh thinking about next visit here! Owner was very nice, unapologetically Palestinian, and clearly loves checking in with the customers. The space is so cute with Palestinian decor and Eid decor. I love that this spot is halal too. Will be coming back!! read more

No bacon! But you probably figured that out, it's a nice clean atmosphere, us five guys ran in and plopped down for morning protein before redwoods. Got great service, decent menu, I only needed coffee and ditched for down the block my friend discovering his latte here wasn't worth it unless all other options closed. Chicken and waffles, eggs, pancakes, and no complaints; they finished I quickly hardly a crumb left by time I returned with a coffee. Prices are the usual city, double what we are used to in Indiana but eggs are a rare commodity in Cali! read more

We stopped one morning for breakfast. This is a family casual brunch place in the marina. We ordered the chicken and waffles as well as waffles and other items and it was delicious. Great courteous staff. The place is small inside but does have an outside area but too windy for me. Place can get noisy at times and usually busy. But food it's worth it. Definitely will keep coming back. Until Next time, chao! read more

Small space off Chestnut. They do turn over tables fast. The waitress was nice and helpful. I went for peppermint tea and the spinach-onion-feta omelette. The omelette was stuffed with fillings and was super tasty. The plate came with an orange and english muffin. A few notes .. the spinach would have been better if it was chopped before it was wilted. The loose leaf tea was $9 .. ouch!!!! I am also so done with QR code menus. read more

The food and service are both 10 out of 10. Best halal breakfast in town. We visited from LA for Labor Day and got the chicken burrito. We went in person one day, i told the owner we will come back tomorrow. We ended up just getting Uber Eats the next day cause of our new born but even delivered food tasted amazing. Exceptional halal food better than any halal breakfast I have had in LA or Houston. read more

We visited Cracked & Battered on a Thursday around 12:30 PM, and when we arrived there were a lot of people waiting outside. Once we got on the waitlist, the estimate was about 30 minutes. While we waited, we walked around and did a little shopping since there are some cute stores nearby. We came back about five minutes before our wait time was up and were seated within the next 10 minutes. The owner is super friendly and funny -- he really made us feel welcomed right away. It's also really easy to order here. Once you sit down, there's a QR code at the table where you can order and even pay ahead of time, and the food is brought straight out to you. Before we even asked, two waters were already placed at our table, which was such a plus. The inside is pretty small and can feel a little cramped depending on where you sit, but honestly the vibe and the food make up for it. Our food also came out very quickly. There was a small mix-up with my eggs -- I ordered scrambled and got over-medium -- but they fixed it right away and even let me keep both, which I really appreciated. We ordered the C&B plate and it was SO good. The chicken was super tender and easy to cut. The waffles were the perfect bite-size (though I still cut them in half), the strawberries were fresh, the potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and my eggs were cooked perfectly. It really felt like the perfect breakfast plate. I also got an iced coffee with vanilla and it was very smooth and delicious. Overall, I had a great experience here. The food was amazing, the service was kind and welcoming, and despite the small space, I would 100% come back and try something new next time. Highly recommend! read more

Attentive and friendly staff, clean and open spot in the Marina district. I ordered chicken and waffles, the chicken was a crispy and lightly breaded boneless thigh and the waffle was a perfectly crispy and light Belgian waffle. The food was hot, chicken was juicy and the waffle melts in your mouth. I wish they had more hot sauce options, but other than that, this place is solid. read more

Got 2 different orders, Fiorentine omelette & fried chicken. Hit a 6 mile run + 100 push ups & 50 pull ups. This food hit like it was cold water in the desert- very nourishing, tasty, balanced. Not too much carbs, high protein, and beautiful flavor combination with the eggs and fried chicken. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly - fried just right so that it was crispy but also juicy, paired perfectly with the Nashville hot sauce. This meal took me on a journey, the sugar from the fruit introduced me to the omelette, and the omelette was the warm up for the final boss fried chicken read more

Cracked & Battered is definitely a trendy spot and it was very busy when I visited. The vibe is fun and casual, and I can see why it's popular. The menu has a lot of variety and the food was good, but honestly, it didn't stand out enough for me to want to go back. If you're in the area and want to check out a trendy brunch spot, it's fine, just expect it to be busy. read more

Came here for my birthday brunch, and while I was disappointed I couldn't get mimosas the waffle I ordered was fantastic. The service was great, the place was packed, & the weather was fantastic so sitting outside was the best decision. It's small inside, which is typical for SF places & they only have 1 bathroom. read more

Happening spot on Chestnut street with locals and tourists waiting for tables. Not much of a beverage section but their food is fresh and tasty. The service wasn't very organized with one of our orders being totally lost. Our server never checked on us so he didn't know about the missing order until we asked. I also overheard other customers asking for missing items. To top things off you have to pay inside but nobody ever brings you a check! Regardless the food is still good here, just stay on top of service so things don't take forever. read more

Came here for brunch and tried the Nasi Goreng which was fried rice with scrambled eggs and fried chicken. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavor. Everything on the plate worked together really well and felt like real comfort food done right. Service was friendly and the place had a relaxed, casual vibe. Just a heads-up: they don't serve alcohol since it's a halal restaurant, but the food more than makes up for it. 10/10 would recommend, especially if you're looking for something different from the usual brunch fare. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday at 10:30, there was only a quick 10 minute wait for 3. Ordering was on a QR code at the table which was nice because we all easily paid our own tabs at the end. Food came out quickly! The restaurant itself is pretty small but has a good seating capacity considering the size. The actual food I wasn't too impressed, but it was not bad either. Would come back, but not in any hurry to do so! read more

My friend and I LOVED Cracked & Battered! Their chicken is crunchy yet still juicy on the inside, and seasoned very well. My friend go their benedict, while I opted for the chicken and waffle. The portion is definitely enough to make you full. My waffle was fluffy and paired so well with the butter and syrup (and of course, the chicken). The service was good, and we even had the chance to sit outside and meet a friendly couple that was sitting next to us. This location is just a bit small, I wish there was more room, but it is SF after all. read more

We went here about 45 minutes before the closed. We sat inside as it was a bit chilly out. Service was nice although it took a while to get our orders in. The place is pretty basic on the inside. Not much to look at. Very small. I think the outside seating has more people watching. The food took awhile to get. I had the chicken waffles which I know is not a San Fran delicacy. Given that I was just in Nashville, I had a great comparison. You can see my other review from Jason Aldeens place. It was pretty good given the place but it's not top notch like others say. I'm still not used being given cans and bottles of soda and having to pay for refills. Just seems like an odd hill to die on for restaurants when they have no problem selling unhealthy food with large portions. This is more of a trend I see in San Fran that continues here. The reviews hype this place up but I'm not that impressed. Maybe it's a local thing. Given that we ate at over 10 restaurants for lunches and dinners in the last 7 days, we had alot to compare. read more

an amazing restaurant and with the most helpful staff! came to san francisco for a little vacation and we were starving from the drive and my friend who lives here recommended it to us. i ordered the fried chicken sandwich with french fries. the fries were delicious especially with some ketchup. probably some of the best fries i've ever had. the chicken sandwich as well was amazing! my friend wasn't a fan of the sauce that he got with his order so i took it from him and i'm so glad i did! i think it was some sort of aioli but with the sandwich it compliments it so well. the chicken really was crispy and the coleslaw it comes with was really good as well. the vibes were also nice since it was more like brunch times. definitely would recommend this place as someone that isn't a local. read more

Quaint restaurant with prompt service and delicious food. As a vegetarian I didn't see much on the menu I could eat, but they allowed modifications so I went with the Florentine omelet with no egg. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The cold brew wasn't very strong, but I'll definitely go back to try their pancakes read more

I'm so glad I tried something different today for some brunchy vibes. I've never had nasi goreng before and I found this to be so awesome. The flavors were comforting, everything paired well, and the seasoning was spot on. But I do recommend getting their chili sauce (sambal) if you enjoy spice like I do. This is a small space so we got lucky with a table for 3 right away as it got busier after we sat. It's a qr code with ordering from your phone only, which isn't my favorite because I'm supposed to commit to a tip before I've even received my food. Food comes out fast though, which was great so it was hot and fresh. Waffle was also crispy and good balance of sweetness. Chicken was all cooked perfectly. read more

I've always seen this place packed every time I walked past it so I knew I needed to try it out! I knew they were known for their fried chicken and waffles since everyone around me was ordering it! I ordered the C&B plate to have a little bit of everything. The waffles were so fluffy and light. The chicken was packed with flavor and not overwhelming or greasy. Together the chicken and waffles bite was incredible. The eggs were cooked perfectly to my liking and so were the potatoes! The potatoes were definitely something to write home about! They were incredibly crispy and fluffy on the inside. The service here is also amazing! I had such a good time talking with the owner and seeing all of the local celebs who've dined here. Everyone here is so nice and welcoming! I'd come back just for the service so it's a plus that the food is equally as good! read more

Came here on Juneteenth at about 11am. I knew it was going to be a really long line given that it was a holiday. As expected, there were multiple parties waiting outside. We waited about half an hour before getting seated inside. There are indoor and outdoor tables. Came here with two other friends. I got the chicken and waffles and tater tots for the table. Chicken and waffles 4.5/5 - Their menu is small to begin with. They are known for their chicke and waffles. It definitely did not disappoint. The chicken was juicy, well-seasoned. You really can't go wrong with adding any hot sauce either. The belgian waffle was crispy, yet airy on the inside. Combination of both with some syrup was the perfect bite. Tater tots 5/5 - These were so crispy and golden. Great texture and flavor. Cracked sauce definitely compliment these tots well. It had a balance of tangy, sweet and acidic flavor. Reminded me of a thousand island dressing but so much better. Definitely a top-tier brunch spot for those that love chicken and waffles. I'd love to give the burrito a try next time. Only thing worth mentioning is that I wish it was a tad more clean. The aroma in the air was not pleasant. Tables and floors seemed unkept. Otherwise, staff were friendly and tried their best to accomodate all the guests the best they could. They were attentive with water and asking if we needed anything. Parking can be rough. Meters expensive. I would try residential for free parking first before meter read more

I am a loyal customer at their Potrero Hill location (always amazing), but today I had some errands to do in the Marina, so we decided to give it a try. What can I say? The food was absolutely mind blowing! I shifted from my usual, and got the shakshuka dish...the blend of juicy tomatoes, pinch of spice, topped with perfectly cooked eggs, yes yes and yes again! My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich, and let's just say he was greatly pleased, and nothing pleases this man! We always add a side of dessert...waffles and pancakes. Crispy, fluffy and filled with perfection. What diet? We came on a Thursday afternoon, and were amazed by how busy it was! So happy for them. The staff, especially the owner Moe managed to get everyone seated. Even amongst the chaos, I saw Moe going around to the tables and checking on everyone--very kind and caring The ambiance is great--cozy, especially today since it was super busy, but they manage to keep it organized and easy for the staff to move around. Thank you C&B for always giving us a delightful dining experience! We will definitely be back! read more
