Blue Collar Chit Chat and Chickies – Dining on a Dime at the Chicken-N-Coop
The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news
Early bird gets the worm.
When it comes to cheap grub, nothing beats the San Francisco tradition of the hofbrau. Whether the food is palatable or not is debatable.
When it comes to the most famous Tommy’s and Lefty O’Doul’s are the crown regents of course.

A wholesome, friendly alternative is the Chick-N-Coop. There are actually two of them, but the one in the Excelsior is definitely the best. Owned by a Greek family who likes to banter with customers, you can’t get more of an old school neighbourhood vibe than lunchtime in one of its olive leather booths. And true to its name, the chicken is a pretty tasty bird.
