The line moves quickly.

Chicken sandos are epic
by Jeff W.
Don't be intimidated by the long line, it's super efficient
by Stephanie C.
The fried chicken is white meat, moist and the crust is perfect!! Not greasy at all!!Their apple pie is really cinnamony, tender flaky crust and the vanilla whipped cream is lightly sweetened.
by Olivia P.
Hello chicken sandwiches. Line moves fast, don't be dissuaded from the wait.

Fried Chicken Sandwich
by Sir Francis S
Bakesale Betty has earned a cult following for one thing and one thing only: buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches, served on a bed of vinegary coleslaw garnished with jalapeños.
by PureWow
Line is long but moves incredibly fast. Buttermilk fried tofu sandwich is delicious and filling. Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich is definitely a must-try though. Pear ginger scone is too sugary.
by Bommy Cha
Famous for their fried chicken sandwich.
by Kait Gaiss
Fried chicken (or tofu) sandwiches. Don't worry about a line as they are cranking out this fried beauties faster than you can whip out your wallet and pay the $9 for the sandwich.
by Adrian Phillips
Vegetarians: buttermilk fried tofu and coleslaw sandwich 👌
by c0uP
Damn good scones and sandwiches. The line is long, but I literally waited a minute to get my order, their staff is efficient and friendly AF and they know how to prepare for the lunch rush.
by Ashley M.
When you go to a place that serves only a fried chicken sandwich, you get the fried chicken sandwich. And you come back again and again for the fried chicken sandwich. It's that good.
by Ryan L.
Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had
by T C
Chicken sandwich -- what else?
by Sara R.
Their current business hours are Tues-Sat 11am-2pm. And yes the fried chicken sandwich is tender & delicious. Couldn't choose b/t choc chip cookie & strawberry shortcake so got both, nom! ;)
by Sahar A.
The best chicken sandwich I've ever had, took it home and adding Sirarcha and BBQ sauce did nothing to enhance the taste, was perfect on it's own.
by Frank
Line moves fast approx 15-20 min and you've got the best fried chicken cheat meal in the Bay Area
by Chris N.
The fried chicken sandwich, with its spicy-tangy jalapeno slaw, made this place practically world famous in the last half-decade, and every day they're open, at lunchtime, that's what the line is for.
by SFist
Get the sandwich. Duh.
by Craig V.
Really good cookies. Chicken sandwich is the bomb. Love the slaw with it!
by My Van
One to go and a coke.
by Tim H.

by Nick F.
The jalapeño coleslaw is perfect for fried chicken sandwich! Give it a kick.
by Shane
You know what's good here.
by Andrew Wilson
They have a fried tofu sandwich, too. Since I don't eat meat, I can't rate what most customers are coming here for but the sandwich was tasty.

by Olivia S.
Try the chicken sandwich.
by Alex
Good chicken sandwich; GREAT strawberry shortcake.
by Frank
Anticipate not being able to find parking and waiting in a line. Fried chicken sandwich is good but not worth the hype but it could've just been an off day. Very generous piece of chicken :)
by Chelsea
The line goes fast and is WORTH IT
by Eagen
Fuck Chick-fil-a. Betty knows what's up.
by Michael B.
Don't order the fish!
by James G.
Everything is good! Just gotta make it before they close
by Travis M.
Order the fried chicken sandwich, of course. Ask for it the way owner Alison Barakat likes it: extra coleslaw, extra jalapenos.
by Men's Health Mag
That daily line across 5 store fronts is for the fried chicken sandwich. It goes fast. Get one.
by David M.
Best sandwiches. Don't forget the lemonade or the strawberry shortcake!

by Constantine V.
Holy Chicken sammy & slaw. Amazing.

Fried Chicken Sandwich
by Gian P.
Strawberry Shortcake FIRST...then Chicken Sandwich!
by judy k.
I recommend the Chicken Salad because the bread in the sandwich is merely mediocre. Also make sure to try the Lemon Ice! They usually run out so don't go right before closing.
by Gal O.
Chicken Sandwich worth waiting in line for!!!

Eating on ironing tables a very tasty fried chicken sandwich , refreshing lemonade and freshly baked cookies is a great experience! Staff is super friendly
by maria s.
Can't go wrong with the strawberry shortcake...death by deliciousness...:)
by Juan Leonel A.
Slaw on the side! Worth the line definitely.
by Melo 💩.
Get extra coleslaw w your sandwich!! Soo good. Also take a pot pie to go...it's even better than the fried chicken sandwich if you can believe it
by Jessica @.
The fried chicken sandwich is amazing but the 9 dollar price tag is nuts! My gf and I now purchase one and share because 18 bucks for two sandwiches seems a tad much.
by Gusto L.

Fried Chicken sandwich
by Meghaan B.
Call ahead if you're taking it to go, you won't have to wait in line!
by Helene G.
The fried chicken sandwich definitely lives up to the hype! Could use a little more heat/spice, but luckily there is hot sauce available. The slaw on the sandwich rocked!
by Patty S
The lines are long, they run out of chicken but it is a success story because of the slaw -- jalapenos, cabbage and some secret ingredients. Good scones, and lemon ice. It all works.
by Keith F.
Chicken salad w/ bread on the side! Doesn't get soggy :) and lots of veggiesssss
by whitney N.
Go near closing time. More than likely you'll get a free dessert! However they MAY run out of chicken sandwiches.
by Calvin A
Order the fried chicken sandwich. Do it. Vegetarian? Try one of their baked goodies.

by Amanda S.
Sometimes they give out cookies to those waiting in line.
by Colbert T.
Closed Monday and Tuesday! How are going to get our sandwich on those days. Betty and Michael: pls get the new location open soon!
by John C.
Chicken eaters prefer "one to go," but fellow veggies will become addicted to the egg salad sandwich.
by Sara S.
Go to Bakesale Betty and order a sandwich pull up a stool next to an ironing board and dig in! Be sure to follow it up with a slice of pie. Heaven!
by Heidi S.
If they sell out of sandwiches they will give out free pie. Sit close to the restaurant, better chance of getting freebies.
by George D.
they sometimes sell out before close on Sunday, so get there early or you may miss out!
by Trey P.
If you’re lucky, blue-haired Betty (Alison Barakat) will be handing out free cookies.
by SFGate
If you're looking for something other than their fried chicken sandwich, they also have superb brisket and egg salad sandwiches. Come early (before 12:30) for the brisket though - it sells out fast.
by Keith C.
No chicken come Tuesday, either. 'Tis a Wed-Sun kind of place, Betty's
by Greg G.
If you go on a Monday they will be closed.
by Greg G.
