About This Coop

The OG coop; the one that started it all! What began as a passion project to leverage some of the incredible ingredients coming through the kitchen at adjacent sister restaurant Juniper and Ivy, is now a staple in the Little Italy neighborhood of San Diego. This coop is completely open air, with lawn games and a full bar to soak up craft cocktails, local beers, and the perfect SoCal sunshine. Don't squawk at the line, it moves fast. And while parking isn't up to us, this coop has spots out front dedicated to curbside pickup for busy hens and peeps on the move.

Our Menu

Our ultra premium, southern California fried chicken is a labor of love, but that's what it takes to create the tastiest fried chicken

"Not an exaggeration: One of the best chicken sandwiches we have ever had!! The chicken is crunchy, moist, and flavorful. The bun is soft and wonderful ... we are still dreaming about this chicken sandwich!"

"So The Crack Shack is bomb ... it never disappoints. The chicken is cooked to juicy perfection, sauces available for dipping come in a variety unique flavors and the list of creative cocktails keep drinks flowing freely."

"This place does not have nearly enough hype. Not only is the quality and taste of their food beyond any other, they offer unique options that can't be found anywhere else ... It was absolutely chefs kiss. You really can't go wrong here."
