The burgers are huge! And delicious! Just wish they were a little more spicy/ flavorful. The service was great, he was really nice and helpful. The ambiance is very street food vibes, there's no place to sit, so we sat in our car and ate! Really nice to go burgers, and they have stands during the farmers markets at the ferry building every Tuesday and Thursday!
Amazing chicken sandwich. Perfectly cooked, just the right amount of toppings, and the sandwich held together perfectly. The story of how this place started is really cool, too. Will definitely be back!
I've been meaning to try this place and today I did. I had the Claude the Claw sandwich, and it was a tasty fried chicken sandwich. What makes it unique is the claw sticking out of the sandwich. It also has slaw and pickles in it. The meat was nice and juicy. Since it's a boneless thigh, that helped with the juiciness. The waffle fries were cooked well...nice texture. It seemed a little pricy for the sandwich, but it was worth trying. You place your order and pay on the iPad, and you are called when your order is ready. If you didn't order a drink, there's glasses and water by the napkins. There was ample seating on a Sunday around noon. They also have an upstairs with several tables. The staff is helpful and friendly.
I came here with my friends and tried claude the claw spicy sandwich. The sandwich was kinda hard to eat, but it was very flavorful. The sauce was sour and spicier than I expected, but yummy. The slaw and bread were good as well. I do wish there was more meat; it felt like I was eating more breading than chicken, but I did lime how crunchy it was. I tried the waffle fries and they were tasty as well: crispy but on the saltier side.
THE CLAAWWW- i don't know about you, but it makes me think of Jim Carey in Liar Liar. IYKYK We stopped in for a bite and a beer before the Giants game. Self ordering tablets make it easy and they call your name when your order is ready. We ordered a couple of beers and two chicken sandwiches. I had Claude and my husband had the traditional one. I must say- soooo good! But also very filling and generous portions. We probably could have just shared to be honest. We made both of ours a meal with side (fries). I could probably do without the fries next time. The sandwiches are high up there in price but kudos to flavor and the bun is buttery excellent. Pair it with a beer and you are golden. Everyone was super nice and there was plenty of seating for us at the time. Short walk to Oracle park too.
