Why does Yelp! keep posting duplicates of the same review.....? I don't make it a habit to buy fried chicken from a gas station, but I might start! It's like KFC and Popeye's, but less stuff on the outside, more chicken on the inside. Very lightly spicy. And now they have COLES LAW! Buy gas, buy beer, buy fried chicken to go. Thanks, Mike, for bringing me. After my second visit, this quite possibly is "America's best-kept fast-food secret." If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful! read more

Food. Is excellent. Fresh hot and service is good. Very fast service . Chicken is hot and the sides are yummy

I ordered an 8 piece "mix". I got 2 wings, 2 drumsticks, and the rest thighs. There was not even one breast. I see others have had this issue. I wonder if they are trying to cheat you because you're not sitting there eating it and once you go home to eat your chicken there is a small chance you'd go back and complain. Make sure you check your chicken before leaving. Also, where's the meat on these bones? Extremely skimpy pieces of chicken. Don't cheat people. DO BETTER. read more

Thanks to other Yelpers, we tried this little hole in the wall, mini-mart, in Richmond - for better than the chain store, tender fried chicken!! I thought I was at the wrong place, to be honest. Once inside, they have a real deal set up, no-nonsense counter, and a sweet order taker who will crack a smile if you smile at her, taking your order quickly and efficiently. You then walk over to the mini-mart cashier, 4 feet to the left, and pay for your order and whatever other mini-mart grocery must have. I then waited for my order while watching how much perfectly, hot and fried, chicken was being produced behind the counter case. It didn't have time to sit under a heat lamp, it went into the container to my box within minutes. We ate a hardy meal of chicken, mash potatoes and gravy, Mac n cheese, red beans and rice, Cole slaw, fries and shrimp. Admittedly, the sides were just ok, in comparison. The flavors were there, but they were packaged beforehand and sat, so they didn't taste as fresh. You know that chicken was still crunchy and delicious eaten cold, the next day! Wow. read more

When I'm craving crispy fried chicken and have the time and courage to drive through that part of town, I head to this gas station Krispy Krunchy fried chicken spot on 23rd Street. It's so good! The chicken is crispy, tasty, and flavorful, and the few times I've been there, it's been consistently great. Since the chicken is all to go, it's perfect for busy workdays when I just need a quick dinner for the kids. They also offer side dishes like fries, though I haven't tried them yet. I usually just grab the fried chicken, cook rice at home, and serve it with banana ketchup--my kids love it. As for ambiance, there isn't any. It's a gas station, so you order your chicken through a window and take it home--no dine-in option. But honestly, the food makes it totally worth it! read more

Being from New Orleans, gotta love seeing some Louisiana-based fried chicken joints in the Bay Area. What's extra awesome about this spot is that they use halal chicken, which is great for those with dietary restrictions. I typically get a mixed bucket of chicken, with some biscuits, fries, and Mac n cheese. I have had their tenders and boneless wings as well, but you have to get their chicken, biscuits, and fries. You can ask them to sub drumsticks for wings if you'd like as well. They have a lot of sauce options, so ask them before you leave so you get what you need. It's at a gas station so parking is easy. Check them out! read more

Ugh I've never been inside the store so I don't know what the service is like but honestly this chicken is so buss. I just love the orange stuff inside, I stopped getting kfc and popeyes after eating a krispy krunchy thigh for the first time. Need to come back even though I dont like going in gas stations not the ambiance vibes. read more

The best chicken around. This location is always fresh and the chicken is always seasoned properly. I will drive further to come to this location. The chicken is delicious. Don't let the fact that it is inside a gas station deter you. read more

Krispy Krunchy - Chicken thigh. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Richmond, California

It's located in a gas station. Not a lot of parking. Service is good. A little pricy, but tasty chicken.

The size of the chicken pieces are almost twice the size as KFC. The flavor of the chicken is delicious.

Definitely one of the better Krispy Krunchy's around town. Clean chill environment, helpful friendly staff, chicken is not super greasy and is very crispy, sides are fresh. Would've been 5 stars, but my order did not have the chicken sandwich I ordered and we were on our lunch break so we couldn't head back. Regardless, we'll be back because this spot is good and KKC always hits the spot. Especially them blueberry muffins. read more

best. fried. chicken. EVER! also the honey biscuits here are literally some of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. Do yourself a favor and get AT LEAST the 6 pack of biscuits, because you WILL devour them. They are what I'd imagine heaven tastes like. We've picked up chicken here at least 4 or 5 times now, but I haven't written a review because I keep forgetting to take photos! But every single time has been delicious, without fail. Their fried chicken is so crispy and crunchy - it definitely lives up to its name. On top of that though, the meat inside is so juicy and flavorful - they inject cajun seasoning into the chicken so you can see the strips of orange inside too. So good! Also the chicken with some honey is also delicious for that sweet and salty flavor. Forgot to mention, you can order just dark/white meat here, or mix! We love dark and the dark is cheaper too, so we love that. Also their chicken is very reasonably priced in general! We wanted to try their cracklings as well, but they didn't have them today. We'll have to try them next time! I'm not sure if the other locations are as good as this one, but since we've had an amazing experience here every single time, we keep coming back here. Plus it's the one closest to our place! When ordering, you order at the counter but then get in line for the gas station side because you'll pay there. After you pay, you'll receive a stamped receipt which you'll redeem back at the chicken counter for your meal! While it may look sketchy because it's at a gas station (or does that make it better?), it is the best fried chicken and I guarantee you'll love it! read more

Disappointed to find out no more 6 piece dark meat special. They only had 1 special, 4 chicken wings for $9.99. The chicken is still good. I got a 2piece leg & thigh w/biscuit for $6.. read more

It's almost embarrassing how good this chicken is. This is by no means a fancy location. The locals call it "gas station chicken" because of the proximity to a gas station next door. Let's face it; this place is basically a bodega/convenience store. The chicken isn't even their main product, but they do it really well for some reason. I will repeat. BB read more

Don't let this place scare you from going in YES it is GHETTO AF in here but the foodservice and chicken is what makes this place special. Had to ditch Popeyes because they serve you some tiny portions ( bad service ) Vs this place. I can't say anything bad about their fried chicken they definitely deserve 5 stars. Keep up the good service and yummy chicken! I'll keep coming back. read more

Not all crispy, crunchy chicken locations are equally made. I am so glad that I happen to live by one back is considered to be one of the best. chicken is always fresh biscuits are always soft, and french fries are always hot. for ambience it is a gas station so there's not much ambience and service is pretty quick since you know we are in the hood people get route over they chicken. I just wish that they offered more specials and family packages But nonetheless hands-down I prefer this chicken over any other fast food, restaurant chicken. extra points for being within walking distance of my home. read more

I did not believe in eating gas station chicken but to be honest they have some of the best chicken I have tasted and the people are very friendly and give great service read more

Food tasted good Very oily But the staff were very friendly!! They even gave my daughter who is one a couple fries while we waited read more

Krispy Krunchy is my go to chicken, it always tastes fresh and the price is right. Must be the seasoning.

The biscuits are soooo good! Chicken is always crunchy. Super cheap for a ton of food

this Krispy Krunchy resides in a Golden 7 gas station. eats: fried chicken sandwich (3.49) -reasonable price. slightly too much batter -semi juicy/dry, maybe as good as chain equivalents, cheaper gotta try popeye's when it's available. crumbs: -chicken tastes better from a grocery than a gas station.... parking may be more difficult. read more

without fail, this is one of the best fried chicken you'll *ever* have. Best described as: reliably crispy with moist interior flavor, crunchy exterior, and the general after taste of happiness. You'll never go wrong with Kripsy Krunchy kitchen. And no, don't bother going to another place. This specific location is the way to go (I've been to the one in El Sobrante and Pinole - just not the same, unfortunately, and both locations seem perpetually out of hot sauce - whhhhaaaattt?). Tips: *Sunday morning and afternoons = most crowded because the locals know where the good food is at. Be prepared for parking problems and long lines, but you'll see a long line of local patrons dressed in their Sunday best. *Don't bother with the sides. Come on, you can make mac and cheese at home or grab french fries from the McDonalds' across the street. Just go straight for the Krispy Krunchy Chicken and you'll thank me later. *Bring cash. They seem to appreciate it instead of credit (I think its slower to process?). Or was it that they only accept debit, not credit? I can't remember specifically why, but bring cash so you don't run into the same problems I did. *embrace the location and everything around it. Its part of the experience. Remember, you're order to-go and eating at home or at a local park or picnic with your friends, not at the place where you're buying it. There's no tables there, so complaining about the location does no good. Enjoy! read more

Assuming you don't mind that Krispy is located inside the gas station, then you'll be in a great position to enjoy the following pros: 1. Their hours: My friend and I were craving some fresh hot fried chicken but at 9:45pm on a weekday, you really don't have many options. Most KFCs and Churches nearby are gonna close before we can get to them and Lucky's deli is long closed....after consulting our trusty Yelp app, we find that Krispy Krunchy is open until 11pm. Awwwww yeaaaaaaaaa, buddy. We're in business! 2. Those biscuits: Sure we started a few cups of white rice cooking on the rice cooker before we left, but hey... nothing goes with fried chicken like MORE CARBS. YASSSS. Perhaps a little on the small side, and not really crispy on the edges, but they are oh. so. soft. Like wow, these babies have been soaking up some good brushes of honey and butter because whoa they are loaded with some seriously sweet, buttery goodness. Mhhmmm! 3. That chicken: Aside from the surprising variety of dipping sauces available, I think my favorite way to eat the fried goodness is... plain. LOL! The fried breading is crispy and not overly oily or abrasive. The chicken itself is tender but not too saturated with saline solution...just tastefully salted. I don't eat fried chicken often enough to vouch for whether it's better or worse than XYZ's chicken...but I will say I would be happy to eat from Krispy Krunchy again and again! ^__^ read more

This is a bit of a rough neighborhood but it's some damn good chicken & biscuits. I got the super family pack for about $25 as a present for a friend and it was something like 12 pieces of chicken (mixed), a bunch of boneless chicken tenders, some fat potato fries, and a bunch of honey biscuits. I struggled all the way home with the smell wafting up from the back and nearly pulled over to sneak a bit. Turned out my buddy mixed up his text telling me where he was going to be and I was basically stuck eating the entire thing myself. Yum. read more

Krispy Krunchy - Chicken & Biscuits - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Richmond, California

Who would have known?!? Biscuits...literally god's gift to the world. Butter and honey all melted on top. Drooool. MUST HAVE! Chicken tenders & fried chicken: it was good. No great. Nice flaky skin. I would have liked more seasoning on it. I do like that it's normal sized pieces of chicken... Unlike the gmo oversized kfc chicken. Fries were good. Crispy n seasoned on the outside. Soft inside. Wish the 12pc chix n 6pc tender meal I got included other sides tho. read more

You wouldn't think chicken coming out of a gas station would receive 4 stars would you? I wouldn't either but this hole in the wall chicken joint is well worth the trip. Eats: 8 piece dark meat ($6) - batter was just right, not too much and not too little. -batter was coated perfectly onto the chicken -carried the perfect combination of crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. -it was deliciously greasy, but not too greasy....because who wants their fried chicken dry? -carried a flavorful punch of Cajun seasoning but didn't take away from the flavor of the chicken itself -for 6 dollars?! Best deal in town for fried chicken read more

Incredible chicken. Ignore the location (its in a gas station convenience store); its incredible chicken. Trust the process. Get yourself a couple 40s, get a ton of chicken, and extra biscuits. I don't fully understand why this place is inside a gas station convenience store but its probably one of the best ways to improve your day, late night, whatever. The chicken falls off the bone and the breading is perfectly fried. It won't crumble easily like some lesser fried chickens. Its also pretty cheap, especially when you get a lot of chicken, which you're going to want to do because if you share a piece with someone they're just going to keep taking until there's none left. The hot sauce they give you with the chicken is exactly what you want. Some people might knock the rating down for its location, but honestly any place that will let you buy alcohol to quench your thirst while you're eating this tasty chicken is doing god's work. read more

Deliciously juicy fried chicken. Unfortunately, they didn't have the waffle fries as advertised. They were some other type of straight fry. Aside from the fry situation, Krispy Krunchy actually leaves a good taste in my mouth unlike other fast food chicken places (i.e. KFC, Church's). Doesn't have a place to sit considering it IS at a gas station, so I sat at one of the two benches just across the street. Side Note: I normally don't enjoy biscuits at all, but these were delightful. read more

Really good fry chicken and those biscuits are amazing. The great thing about this place is that its halal chicken which is rare to find in the bay area.

If you're into some good fried chicken skip all the other fast food chains and head over to your local gas station for the real stuff. Yes I said it a gas station serves up hot and fresh fried chicken with honey biscuits that will make your mouth water. This is my favorite place to get fried chicken outside of making it for myself at home. Why? It's seasoned well, doesn't have all the extra grease and is cooked until golden brown. It literally reminds you of homemade fried chicken! And let's not even talk about how these biscuits are the best biscuits ever! I mean they are my all time favorite of all time all time! Did I say all time? Please do not pass up the opportunity to take a box of this over a friends for a get together or just staying in for the night. You won't regret it! read more

Halal fry chicken that to in richmond, whatttttt gosh I wish i had known about this place before. It's located inside a gas station, not one of the best neighborhoods to go alone at night but other times it's okay. Got the family meal, 12 chicken 6 tenders biscuits and fries for $28 something. The chicken is really good guys. You won't regret going here for the food. read more

Tasty chicken with nice spice and light batter. Tasted freshly made. I think that it is as good as Popeyes which I find inconsistent.

I tried it out and it was bad. I don't understand what people like about the fried chicken. It was horrible! I thought to give it a shot since there is not a lot of variety here in Richmond and I love fried chicken. But It was NOT worth it! Sure, the chicken was crispy but they had a weird, funky and slimy taste to them. I don't know if they cleaned them properly or they just drenched them and threw them in the fryer, but it made me sick. I couldn't eat it again, I had to throw it away. It was a waste of money. Do not under any circumstance try their chicken. read more

Catch the fried chicken when it's fresh and it's the bomb.com. If you get a large order, like for a group, they will usually make it fresh for you. Skip the sauces. Skip the buffalo wings. The fish is very decent, too. I sometimes bring the fish dinner home for my son. Sometimes you just have to live and get something deep-fried. Simple as that. Very nice people running the place. read more

The food is good. Im a customer service person so the rudeness took away a star. Everyone that walks in is not a druggie or thug...don't treat us that way..and I'm more so referencing the males at the register. read more

Customer service is great! Time from order to delivery is great! Kripsy Krunchy Chicken is mouthwatering and Halal!

Holy cow for gas station fried chicken its the best. Skip the other stuff... its all about the dark meat, and its cheaper than the white.

I have a legit fried chicken addiction. I'd like to consider myself a connoisseur of it. This is hands down THE BEST I've had so far, even better than my momma's (but she doesn't need to know that). My parents used to own a fried chicken shack so I have cred. I am currently interning at the Kaiser in Richmond and I had my first taste of this delectable guilty pleasure at a potluck. Nurses love potlucks, and nurses love good food. These nurses are all addicts of this crack-chicken and that's when my love affair with "gas station chicken" began. Is it wrong that chicken this good comes from a gas station??! Who gives a shit, this is the real deal. Don't judge til you've had it. I had the two piece White meat with jambalaya. The chicken breast was juicy and perfectly seasoned and the skin was heaven but hell at the same time. I'll worry about my arteries later, like when I'm 40. For now, c'est la vie!!! The biscuits...what biscuits? It's like eating air cuz they're so fluffy and buttery. They really do melt in your mouth. The jambalaya was ok, a bit mushy for my taste. I'm Chinese, I like to see my rice granules ;) but that chicken doeee...mmmmmm mmmm mmmmmm. DO IT! read more

This is such a hidden gem! The location is a little sketchy (inside of a gas station, in a not so great part of town) but I highly recommend trying it out. The chicken definitely lives up to its name, Krispy Krunchy. The seasoned fries are so good too. I'm not a big biscuit fan but they drizzle theirs with honey and they looked really good. In my opinion the chicken is better than Popeye's and KFC. I'm only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because they don't have any spicy chicken. read more
