Chick-N-Deli

Good food and very friendly owner!
Very cheap too.
What else can you ask for? :)

I was staying in an air bnb over last weekend and stumbled upon this place.
I got the half chicken with potato and salad. The chicken was perfectly roasted rotisserie style, baked potato with butter and cole slaw.
I felt like i was at a family picnic. Very large portions with lots of flavor.
Mike the owner was there and had some good stories to tell. Will definitely be back

Got the Whole chicken and it was amazing, the BBQ sauce was just right and my friend got the ¼ chicken and ribs which were delicious. Definitely going to come here again.

I don’t go anywhere else for chicken. I have been coming here for years and this place has never disappointed me. Everything is bought and cooked by the talented Greek. There’s definitely nothing artificial about this place — it’s good, homemade, delicious food. I always get the ¼ chicken special which always gets me beyond full. He may seem like he got a tough exterior, and can be very soft spoken, but once you get to know him, he’s such a sweet guy.
This place is great if you are going keto or going low carb. Just get some chicken and salad and you will be all set!
Btw, this is the ONLY food establishment that I know of that has a perfect health score! That really speaks about the quality of food there!

Had the ¼ chicken special.
For the price this was an excellent value. Came with the chicken, baked potato, choice of salad and buttered bread. For 6.50 this was really filling and tasted pretty good. The sauce on the chicken was okay, thin and tangy, maybe would like it more on the ribs. Next time I’ll get it without the sauce. Chicken was tender. Salad was good, I had the «greens salad» as it was called. Like a Greek salad without feta and olives. The potato was good since it was baked and not steamed. Makes a huge difference to me. Bread was a cut loaf that was good for dipping in the sauce.
I’ll be back.

I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl about the age of 5 years old with my mom (When she was alive). I am now 24 years old and I still come here and the sandwiches are still AMAZING. I will forever come to this deli shop as long as its in business. I will keep the tradition alive and when my kids are old enough to eat a big ass sandwich like this, I will take them here also. Its a simple but DELICIOUS sandwich. The bread is amazing. I don’t like sandwiches that have a lot of weird ingredients in it and funky sauces. I just like a simple yet delicious sandwich. And this place tops that. He probably would remember my mom if he saw her but he doesn’t remember me. Its okay, I will still come here anytime I need a good sandwich fix.

I’ve drove by this neighborhood but I never stopped by. But my family was hungry, so I found a place to park. Not the easiest area to find parking. But, there rotisserie chicken was really delicious.

Ordered the special which includes ¼ Rotisserie chicken, baked potato, choice of salad (I choose macaroni because it looked like the salad everyone was choosing based on how empty the serving dish was) and a hunk of buttered bread .
I love the nice crispy skin of the chicken, in the special sauce (not thick like BBQ sauce but more like a marinara) and mix in the coolness of the salad.

This place is amazing!
Food is rotissiere meat, baked potato, bread, choice of potato, mac, green, beet salads, coleslaw. Huge quantity, great deal. To go or pick up
The owner is cool, very old school greek guy. He may not seem super friendly, but thats just how how he is; very reserved.
The place is literally from the past. Reminds me of an italian mobster movie scene.
A must try

Ribs = delicious. Great meat, large portion, and limited gristle. They have a great coleslaw, and lettuce salad too!
I love their bread with butter. NOMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I had to order an extra piece this time. lol
This place = epic win.

Just came back from there and I am absolutely never going back. The owner was so rude when I asked him a question regarding their sandwiches and later on ignored what I wanted to order. If you want good chicken with great customer service go down 2 blocks to Pollo Supremo

I was craving for good old chicken in an old fashion neighborhood Hood. This is the place! $ 5.99 — ¼ chicken, side, bread and butter, and a baked potato (huge). So tasty, meat just comes off the bone. Best coleslaw to go with it. They got 100 pt for cleanliness– Wow! SF doesn’t have too many of these around. You actually see the chicken being roasted. No Costco chicken for me. For $ 16.50 you can get 2 chickens, if only I had four stomachs.

I asked the owner how he can make money selling chickens for such reasonable prices, then I told him how much a roast chicken at Zuni café costs.
«For one chicken?»
«Yea»
“People who go there, they are stupid.“
Good chicken. 8 bucks per.

Delicious, succulent rotisserie chicken at an affordable price. Love the old-​school décor, and the no-​nonsense attitude of the fellow who runs this place. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore.

Chick-​N-​Deli is one of the first restaurants my bf took me to in SF when we first started dating. 5 years later they are just as good! The Special comes with one piece of chicken, smothered in nommy sauce, a baked potato, a huge roll of bread, and your choice of salad. All of this for $ 6.50 tax inc. (CASH ONLY)
If you love butter this is def. the place you are looking for. The baked potato is cooked nicely, so soft and is filled with a generous amount of butter and when you open up your huge roll of bread, BAYUM! Hayluh butta! lol can’t even tell just looking at it but inside is definitely a surprise. Don”t count on going under your calories on MyFitnessPal for the day. Haha.
They have about five different salads to choose from. At the top of my head, I know that they have macaroni salad, potato salad, garden salad, jello salad, & a beets salad. I forget what else they have but my favorite salad is the macaroni salad. It’s light and not too mayo-​ee (I didn’t know how to spell it so I just sounded it out, haha) and it’s seasoned with love. When he gives you your portion of macaroni salad it’s so huge that some of those little guys will fall over and play in your chicken sauce. But don’t worry! It pairs well with the chicken & sauce. Your taste buds will be jumping with joy.
The only thing that’s changed at Chick-​N-​Deli over the yrs is that the size of the chicken has shrunk. With all of the carbs that are given I’d like to have some more chicken. But it’s okay Mr. Chick-​N-​Deli man. I still love your food. :)
The owner is really nice too. He looks grumpy at first, but he’s not. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover! Teehee. After asking for a to go box he gave me the option of choosing a big or small box. I packed my leftover yummies and before we walked out he asked if I wanted a plastic bag. Usually I have to ask restaurants for a bag.
Overall, I say whoo hoo to Chick-​N-​Deli. You know you wanna try itttt. K-​Bye!

Keto. Paleo. (Most likely not grass fed but hey I’m not really paleo.)
Nothing comes up when you search for those words except Crossfit boxes.
I hope this review changes that.
If you are on a low carb diet this is the place to go to for a quick meal. For $ 7 – 8 I get a half chicken and 2 salads. Skip the potato, skip the bread.
The owner is fucking cool. He has funny old school dude attitude. Don’t overlook this place. It’s not fried chicken, it’s rotisserie. the chicken is moist and succulent. Someone else said the green salad is a little bland or soggy or something. Here’s my advice: get the beet salad and the green salad and mix them. I pound the half chicken and both salads 1 – 2 times a week. Delicious :)

Super cheap lunch special. Great place to pick something fast. Chicken was extremely tender. The sauce, however, was extremely tangy & spoiled the meal. Ribs were on the dry side and the pasta salad was plain. I did like the potato salad. It had a nice celery crunch & nice and colorful.

My time was warped soon after I walked in here.
It was like, 70’s diner, interior, décor, wall paper and every thing.
In another dimension
With voyeuristic intention.
Well secluded I see all…
With a bit of a mind flip…
You’re into a time slip…
And nothing can ever be the same.
You’re spaced out on sensation.
Like you’re under sedation.
Let’s do the Time Warp again.
Let’s do the Time Warp again.
Well, I was walking down the Mission street
Just having a think
When a chicken of a guy
Gave me an evil Roast Chicken.
Well it shook me up
It took me by surprise
He has a Chick-​N-​Deli
And the devil’s eyes
He stared at me
And I felt a change
Time meant nothing
Never would again.
Let’s do the Time Warp again.
Let’s do the Time Warp again.
The Best Lunch Special in the city.
!/​4 Chicken Salad Special w/​Baked Potato, and Bread, $ 5.99
OMG, I was SO loving the Great Juicy Chicken!
The baked Potato was hot and nicely buttered, so as french roll.
I got Macaroni salad. Great!
I’ll say same thing again and again.
The Best Lunch Special in the city.
I’ll come back for the sandwich.
I’m sure that sandwich would be the same.
I admire a place like here, keeping American traditional still exist.

I’ve been a customer since the 80’s. The food has been the same as long as I could remember same with practically the same prices.
Gotta have the Turkey & Swiss! The sandwiches are the size of TWO and best of all its still under $ 6 bucks!
The deli is really old school and could use some renovation but for a small mom-​n-​pop shop its the best sandwich spot in the area. They have plenty of seating inside.
There’s decent street parking available and they have a 15 minute pick-​up spot right in front.
Take care of Mike and he’ll take care of you.

Ghetto hood good at old school prices.
Walking into Chick-​N-​Deli was like a step back in time, when things were much simpler. Growing up in the 80s, my only care in the world was making sure I remembered to wear biker shorts underneath my school girl uniform (or face getting the evil eye from the nuns) and not skinning off the bottom of my Keds again (or face getting the evil eye from my mom). It’s a far cry from today as my main concern is how I’m going to manipulate some s*cker into marrying me so I can pop out a kid before my eggs expire. I’M KIDDING… «settling» is the worst thing a person can do. Seriously.
Chick-​N-​Deli took me back to those days of innocence and looking at the reviews, it has been around just as long. Unlike most businesses that can’t even make it past their infancy stages, Chick-​N-​Deli manages to stay afloat because of customer loyalty. A simple, yet novelty concept that so many business owners seem to ignore. Never piss off your customers; more importantly, NEVER piss off a Unilocaler. Easy peezy. :)
With offerings of rotisserie chickens, ribs, sandwiches, salads, and fruit smoothies, Chick-​N-​Deli is a welcome change from the taquerias nearby. You can get 2 whole chickens and a pint of salad for just $ 16.90! You can feed a family of four for 2 meals – talk about recession-​friendly prices!
Yesterday, I came in just before closing and picked up a whole rotisserie chicken for just $ 7.99 (cheaper and tastier than El Pollo Supremo down the block)!
The chicken had been roasted until the fat from the skin had been rendered making it deliciously crispy. The dark meat was succulently tender and infused with robust seasonings. The white meat was a tad dry which is understandable being the end of the day and all. However, it was nothing the accompanying BBQ sauce couldn’t solve. Lacquering each piece of chicken in the tantalizing BBQ sauce gave each bite a zing, awakening my taste buds.
Good grub at old school prices and friendly service with a warm smile…
Mike, the owner definitely knows what’s up!
