***** Krispy Krunchy Chicken ***** CRUNCHY: ***** (5 stars) SIZING: big pieces PRICE: reasonable QUALITY: good good always fresh SERVICE: friendly AMBIANCE: clean walk in only PARKING: shared with gas station QUICK STOP FOR HOT FOOD There is something satisfying about fried chicken and my second favorite french fries !!! I love them both together this Krispy Krunchy spot is definitely one of the HOTTEST FRESHER location. I give this franchise big points compared to the more popular brands (kfc, popeyes, jolibee). The more popular brands seem to skimp on the size they tend to be teeny tiny. KRISPY KRUNCHY give you your money worth. I ordered 6 wings enough for two people and the pieces were on point. Check it out if you ever have to stop off for gas GRAB A BITE TO EAT !!! read more

First time here, I was a bit overwhelmed because it was sooooo many options to choose from. I ended up getting the Krunchbox 6pc nuggets with wedges and a biscuit. And I also got the 5pc wing with biscuit. Overall the chicken was a bit too salty but very flavorful. The wedges were good and the honey biscuit was great. It was a bit of a wait which is expected because it's made to order. They also had a few chairs which was good too. read more

Krispy Krunchy Chicken - Receipt - Chicken Shop Near Me - Pittsburg, California

This little Hole in the wall place is Better then KFC I've had their Chicken Twice and it Rocks over KFC .

It's been several years since I have eaten my "crack"' chicken. We call it that because once you try it, you are hooked. Ribs normally served in convenience stores or gas stations. This location is its own shop with a small selection of other items. The owner was a pleasant gentleman. I needed 8 pieces of chicken but he only had 4 made. So he made up a fresh batch. I also ordered the honey butter biscuits and macaroni & cheese. Everything was fresh and tasty. You can't eat it there, but I was taking it over to my niece and her family. She had a salad ready so I didn't order the greens this time. read more

Everything was good about the food and the people are nice and generous. Very well done.

Usually, the chicken is hot and fresh, too bad the owner is extremely rude. I not only witnessed him scratching himself and then touching everything, when I was charged 93 cents for 1 sauce (which I could care less about), he said, usually they are free but today is slow so he needs the dollar. WHAT? Bro here's your dollar. Weirdo read more

Always fresh, always clean. Can't ask for much more than that plus, the biscuits are something vicious

Chicken is good, but they're pretty slow. Young lady at the front is rude. Not a single smile or even a simple greeting. Mugs every single customer walking through the door, and doesn't even say anything after you order(even a simple thank you). Customer service needs to improve. read more

Did you know that "Gas Station Chicken" started in the 1930's when Cornel Sanders started selling his fried chicken out of a Shell station in Kentucky?? Fried chicken has been a guilty pleasure of mine ever since I've had teeth. Certainly nostalgic, definitely comfort food. Located in the same building as a gas station, it's convenient when you need to fill up your car and yourself at the same time. Ambiance is spacious and clean. There's always someone to take your order. I prefer spicier fried chicken ie Jollibee, Popeyes, Church's etc. so this definitely fits my preference! I'm a whole wing kinda guy as well so my typical 4 whole wing combo order hits the spot, every time! Do you love fried chicken?? Do need to get gas?? I know a place and I won't let you down. read more

I was craving some fried chicken for dinner, but really did not want anything boned in. I have seen this place many times when I filled up gas at the ARCO nearby, so I decided to give this place a shot. There is no place to dine in and everything is take out (makes sense for Covid). They have an electronic menu while also paper specials plastered everywhere near the register. They do have a special combo to add a small side and a drink to any meal. (And this is actually cheaper then purchasing their chicken sandwich combo meal). Chicken Sandwich: Because of the honey, this is a little sweet. I like sweet though, so it does not bother me at all. It was crispy and crunchy, hence their namesake. And the price was fair for the amount I got. Comparing it to other chicken sandwiches, I found it quite tasty. Fries: They offer potato wedges here. They were crispy as well. Sucks that only ketchup is free and you have to pay extra for the other assorted dipping sauces. Coleslaw: A bit creamy for me. Maybe pull back on the Mayo, but other wise good. Overall, I do like the chicken here. I'll be sure to try the other parts of the menu from time to time read more

Yuck. Worst fried chicken ever. Went here because of yelp reviews. Nope nope nope never again.

Delicious, but sometimes you have to wait until they make more chicken! Wonderful customer service!

Takeout. My order: family meal which includes chicken and tenders, family styled fries and honey biscuits. Been curious about this little chicken shop in the Arco gas station for some time. My expectation was that this was a crispy chicken sandwich and mostly sandwich kind of place. Yelp review prompt has this right: the definition of hole in wall... I don't know what they put in their batter, but the product lives up to the restaurant name, crispy and crunchy even after it got cold. Juiciest white meat and the moisture did not sog the coat. Loved the honey biscuits that struck a good balance between sweet and salty, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Didn't think much of their fries/wedges, these did not stay crispy crunchy. Krispy Krunchy only has one flavor of chicken. The products are not spicy but the Cajun can still give you a little kick. A little bit too salty IMO but still finger lickin good. All the chicken seems to be fried on demand so the wait was a little long, but well worth it! No dining area, and they glass fenced their service area and customer area and marked 6ft slots to protect their employees and patrons. read more

My brother worships fried chicken. I think if it's legal for a man to marry a bucket of fried chicken, he would! One early morning not long ago, at 1 am in fact, I received a text from him about the 25 for $25 deal at Krispy Krunchy Chicken. Now that's mad chicken love! To satisfy his craving, we agreed to hit up the new Krispy Krunchy Chicken in Pittsburg on 01/31/2020. This place is located next to the Arco/ampm store at the corner of W. Leland and San Marcos, on the west end of town. We walked in at around 6:30 pm and were greeted by the lady owner. The interior was spacious, but there was no seating accommodation available for customers. Being new, cleanliness was impeccable. Besides the regular staff, there were a few workers putting the finishing touches to this new enterprise. I got the Family Meal ($28.99), which came with 12 pieces of chicken (mix), 6 Cajun tenders, 6 honey butter biscuits, and family size fries. I also got a large jambalaya and mac-n-cheese ($3.99 each). My order was ready in just a few minutes. The food withstood the 25-minute drive home. The chicken was very good. The skin was very crispy and the meat was juicy and flavorful. Seasoning was injected into the meat and it was visible when I bit into it. Judging from the color and taste, I'd venture to guess that two of the main ingredients were celery salt and paprika. The tenders were made with white meat and they too were juicy and delicious. The biscuits and jambalaya (made with sausages and chicken) were solid. The only thing I was lukewarm about was the mac-n-cheese. The taste was very ordinary. The staff was friendly and the service was swift. We quite enjoyed the food and agreed that it's vastly superior to KFC and Church's and slightly better than Popeye's. For fast food fried chicken, this is a great spot to get it. Hopefully they can maintain this level of quality over the long term. For me, I'm sure I'll be back because my brother was already talking about a return visit! :-P BONUS MATERIAL: - Major credit cards accepted. read more

This fast dining store is located right off the San Marcos freeway and has one of the most savory chickens in the area! It really is "Krispy" and "Krunchy". I came in near closing (they close at 10pm) and they still had everything available to order. I was pleasantly greeted at the register and the service was beyond my expectations! It was a pleasure to get to quickly meet the Manager of the store and have a genuine short conversation. That's why I will always come back to eat here because the food is fantastic :) Mo if you're reading this, thank you for making my evening great! read more

Krispy Krunchy Chicken - a man wearing a face mask and gloves - Chicken Shop Near Me - Pittsburg, California

This is long overdue, man who doesn't like chicken? Especially "Fried Chicken?" Well, I know vegans and vegetarians don't but I don't have time for that negative in my life. "Krispy Krunchy" Is almost like having a piece of the southern states "Gas Station Chicken" right here on the West Coast. It's hard to believe some of the best "fried chicken" I've had comes from a place that typically doesn't have a store front....that is until now. Now, let me tell you why "The Sailor" and "The Colonel" funky chicken isn't extra "Krispy" enough. 'Krispy Krunchy Chicken" Location - Bay Point, CA Food - 10 Piece Shrimp with Biscuit, Chicken Cracklings Price - $10.99, $3.99 (BT) $16.29 (AT) Krispy Krunchy Chicken: This location sits right off Highway 4 and the San Marco exit in Bay Point aka West Pittsburg exit. In its own store front next door to an Am/Pm gast station. Compared to other locations I've visited that's been mostly gas or liquor store based, this location also have things on the menu you may not typically see at other locations, such as assorted desserts, drinks and extra food offerings. This being my first time at this particular location, I wanted ironically to try something different....So I went with the fried shrimp, 10 piece that came with a honey butter biscuit and an order of chicken cracklings. Allow me to tell you about them.... 10 Piece Shrimp with Biscuit $10.99 - Well, these are good "Yelpire" They're battered rather than breaded, and the seasoning is almost like a Cajun style that gives a mild spice and compliments the plump shrimp used. With some fries, this is more than enough to be a meal of it's own. Oh, and the Honey Butter Biscuit...."Churches" has good ones, here they're grrrrrrrrrrrrreat!! In the words of "Tony" like one honestly isn't nearly enough, buy at least 4 lol. Chicken Cracklings $3.99 - These where good, but hardly chicken cracklings. Basically they were popcorn chicken with very little attached skin. I wasn't to upset though, especially with them adding the cajun seasoning sprinkle upon request. Just wish it was more like actual chicken cracklings with the crispy skin. But they're still solid. Overall: I've had the "Krispy Krunchy Chicken" before and it's amazing, although on this visit I didn't get any. Definitely a notch above the competition. If you've never had it, I say find your nearest location and give them a try. Even that chicken that goes to "Church" can't stand up to it's "Krispy" relative. I like it, the deals they run, yea, I recommend them. read more

While the fried chicken was superb. I'll never be ordering from here again. $25 for 8 pieces of chicken is fine. $2 for 1/2 piece corn? $6 for 3 TBS mashed potatoes? $6 for 3 TBS mac n cheese? Hell to the nah. read more

Daaaaaaamn. Well, today has cemented "Buy seafood from seafood joints!!" I decided to try their shrimp & jambalaya. Shrimp - ZERO outta 5stars They tasted freezer burnt and like your basic no name brand frozen shrimp. There was no seasoning whatsoever. Jambalaya - 3 outta 5 Nothing to write home about. Basic rice, sausage & chicken - again, no seasoning. There should be some kind of certification needed to use the word Cajun. I'll only eat their chicken henceforth & only buy seafood from seafood establishments. read more

So I kept seeing people post about chicken from Arco Gas Station. Let me tell you, I was really skeptical! The other night there was another post about this chicken with photos and it looked pretty tasty. Turns out that the gas station chicken is from a chain called Krispy Krunchy Chicken. The closest place for me to get this chicken is in Pittsburg, and I was way too tired after work to get on HWY 4 for chicken. I looked them up on DoorDash, and they do deliver. This was my first experience using DoorDash during the pandemic, I've been picking up all food directly from the restaurants. I have to say, my Dasher, Charles, got the chicken to me in twenty minutes! The chicken was still hot, krispy, and krunchy! It was really tasty and so were their honey-butter biscuits. Location: Krispy Krunchy Chicken, 2102 W Leland Rd, Pittsburg, CA 94565 read more

Chicken is tasty but over priced. I ordered a 2 piece chicken with white meat and it came with a biscuit. It was $7.99 before tax. The chicken is juicy and the biscuit was soft and flavorful. Overall the place was pretty clean and the customer service was awesome. I will be trying this place again. read more

Yum yum yum! We got the meals that come with Cajun chicken tenders and a biscuit, man I was stuffed! And very happy. It's such a good deal for the price too. I'd say the chicken is like a step up from typical fast food like KFC. We were all extremely content and would go back again! We stopped by the place to order to-go and it does take them some time to prepare the meals. Not upset about it, just want to give an idea that it's not an immediately ready sort of thing. (could just happen to be the timing I was there though) read more

Krispy Krunchy Chicken - meal with cajun chicken tenders & biscuit - Chicken Shop Near Me - Pittsburg, California

Gas station food elevated to a new level! I was pleasantly surprised by KKC. I came here on a weekday at 6pm. There are foods on the stall, but you'll be asked if you want it fresh; if so, expect to wait 15-20 minutes and it's piping hot. The seasoning of this place is ON POINT. It's better than KFC and while the texture is different from Popeye's, it's more flavorful than just salty. The prices are reasonable. They stuck my fresh chicken pieces into a paper bag and it made my whole car smell heavenly. There was a bit of grease forming through the bag. At home, the chicken was krispy, krunchy, and flaky. It doesn't have that crumbly look that Popeye's does, and the meat remained super juicy. The biscuits are also really good! They're a bit small and less dense and different in texture from that of Popeye's and KFC, but they have butter and honey on them, which just goes so well. For some reason, my receipt said they were blueberry biscuits, but I don't even think KKC sells those. The service was decent enough and I definitely recommend getting it fresh because the food in the stands looked kind of crusty. I wonder how their jambalaya is? The photos don't look too good, but I am very sold on the fact that KKC does their crucial items, chicken and biscuits, better than major fast food chains. read more

Staff here is friendly, the food is hot and tasty, and service is good and fast. Not bad for our first time. Hoping it's consistently at least 4-stars, as we just moved to the area and will be coming back. read more

My sister-in-law mentioned she likes to buy fried chicken here so I thought I'd give Krispy Krunchy Chicken a try. It is located next to the Arco am/pm gas station. Service was pretty quick as there was no line. They have signs to remind customers about social distancing and to wear face coverings in the restaurant which I appreciated. We decided on purchasing a 16-piece mix chicken to go. The price was $21.99 which wasn't bad. Upon opening the container, I was expecting crispy, crunchy fried chicken. When your brand says crispy and crunchy, you expect just that. Although it was moist, seasoned well, and you receive good size pieces, the chicken wasn't very crispy or crunchy. The texture reminded me of grocery store chicken in the deli section. Was I disappointed? Sort of. I was looking forward to all the feels you experience when you eat fried chicken...where every bite you get texture and crunch. The batter wasn't what I was anticipating. Fried chicken to me is comfort food...almost a guilty pleasure. Unfortunately, the chicken doesn't live up to its name. read more

Every-time I drive home for the past 6 years, I look to my right and I'm like, when are they going to open a chicken place in that gas station!?! You thought traffic was bad now?! It's about to get worst now at the gas station! Once I saw those doors looks opened up, I came as soon as I can. There was no line when I arrived and the store in the inside seemed a bit bare. Once you enter in the store, the left side of the store contains all the food, and the right side for the moment has the desserts. The food on the left side of the store is all the pre-made chicken. I ended up ordering 10 chicken wings, 8 dark pieces of chicken, 3 biscuits , 2 chicken sandwiches, and a Oreo pie (wish the crust was made out of oreos). Overall reaction?! I"m coming back!!! I'm a sucker for fried chicken, and this is by far the best there is Bay Point has to offer. Only other place I can find any fried chicken is in Safeway, sometimes McDonalds when they serve the wings. The chicken I got wasn't oven fresh, but good enough to enjoy. I love the blends of spices the chicken has to offer. The wings and the dark meat hit the spot. The chicken sandwich however, disappointed me. I felt like the sandwich was in the bag for an hour or so, and all the heat from sandwich created a bunch of condensation which made the sandwich soggy when I got it. I nuked the sandwich an extra 30 seconds and the sandwich was decent to eat. The honey biscuits where unfamiliar to me and I loved it! I do think they shouldn't be tossed in with the chicken! I can foresee the biscuits becoming soggy as well if the chicken came right out of the oven. Hopefully overtime the quality of the chicken stays consistent and doesn't degrade over time! Good luck! read more

Wow who would've thought I legit fried chicken spot would exist in this area. My family raved about this place and sure didn't disappoint. Very well seasoned and the batter isn't too breast. Just the right amount. So much juicy goodness in their chicken. Much better than your big chained spots like Popeyes, church's or KFC. Also very affordable especially their family feast read more

Chicken was juicy and biscuit sweet. Just be aware that ordering online is more expensive.

Really tasty and fresh. DO NOT be deterred by the fact that it sits next to a gas station (I was initially a bit thrown off by that fact). read more

they forgot my patato wedges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i loved this place but no wedges!!1!!!!!!!!!

The food was not good. The 4pc chicken was unseasoned with no sauce despite ordering it with Cajun sauce, and if the sauce was on the side it was in tiny cups that you couldn't dip the chicken into. IF that was suppose to be poured over the chicken put it in bigger cups, there was barely any sauce. The fries were soggy and unseasoned, but tasted fully cooked. The chicken sandwich was tiny and looked crushed. The bread was stuck to the chicken (was it microwaved or just not freshly made). I mean I only seen this happen in fast food restaurants that reheat their food or food that is under a heat lamp or heater like hotdogs in a movie theater for hours. I was really disappointed as I was hoping to find a new crispy chicken place. I give it 2 stars since the food was edible and didn't make me sick. I reserve 1 star for truly terrible or inedible places. Will never order again from here. read more

Gas station fried chicken. I really did not know it was a thing! Boy am I happy to now know it is a thing! It is honestly better than KFC (a lot of places are), and Popeyes! it reasonably priced, and the chicken is fresh, flavorful and super krunchy. Yep, I just did that. I also didn't think much of the biscuits, but looks are DEFINITELY deceiving. The biscuits taste way better than they look, and I can see why people rave about it! The hubby loved the chicken tenders too. This is legit fried chicken. Apparently there was a deal when we randomly tried it, and it was like $8 for 7 pieces or something? What a good deal! read more

Paid for a mix bucket and got only 2 pieces of white meat when it should have been 4. Guess it's too difficult to get people that can count of care much. Dark meat was cooked and tasted great. Both white meat pieces were under cooked. Too much pink and had to toss them both. Won't be returning. Don't recommend it. read more

My husband and I ordered the 12pcs family meal which came with large wedges and 6 biscuits.

I've eaten at this place twice so far since I have known it to be there I've never had a problem with the quality of the food they don't make them until you order it at least the chicken strips that is replaced could be a little more cleaner but it's like one of those it was a store back in the day so with all that said the only downfall is the oil filter does a piece of oil be a little overused I want to ask them how often do they change the oils but it does it taste bird I just saved be cautious if you smell the oil you might want to ask him when is the last time they changed it or just don't eat there read more
