I hesitate to recommend something I have not sampled, but the fried chicken at Front Porch gets good reviews. I've been there, like the place a lot, just have not personally sampled the chicken. Yet.

The fried chicken at Pizzaiolo was some of the best I ever had. A huge breast that had flavor throughout. Crisp shell surrounding very moist meat. There was a sweetness but also a hint of Indian spice and flavors. The rest of the meal was incredible too- pizza, fried green tomatoes, gnocchi with oxtail ragu, buccatini with tuna, etc...

I'm from L.A. and if I had the time and resources, I'd probably fly to S.F. all the time JUST for the fried chicken at 1300 Fillmore. It is DREAMY...

I just went to Gussie's for lunch..I had the chicken and "light" corn meal waffles.......my findings...the chicken was previously fried and reheated (dry and flavorless) very much like Powell's its' predescessor.
The light waffles were leaden, and after two dippings in the brown sugar syrup its treacly flavor was bitter and cloying..
has anyone had a better experience, perhaps at dinner? Last week I went to Nellie's in Oakland, and my experience as always was totally different...freshly fried..juicy and tender chicken...great greens etc....
I live 5 minutes drive from Gussie's..I would love to love it...they have grits, and biscuits, and honey corn bread, all of which I would like to try ..if there is any hope for it at all....the place is beautiful, the waitress was bubbly and welcoming....anybody??? Good experience, was mine a fluke?

My two favorites so far are Firefly in Noe Valley (not soul food though) and Hard Knox in dogpatch. HK is a soul food place, FF is more of a local, Cal cuisine place.

I like the $6 burger cooked-to-order medium-rare with one side of choice (huge pile of fries -or, my fave = greens... the list of sides is full of the usual carb-friendly options like mac 'n cheese, potato salad, french fries, sweet potato fries... or, coleslaw, greens and more.
What made you so very miserable at the Hard Knox on Clement? I'd stay away, if it were the worst meal in my life! -
