This fried chicken restaurant has just 3 menu items - and San Franciscans are going nuts for it

Melia Robinson/Business Insider

A fried chicken restaurant has captured the hearts of San Franciscans. The Bird landed in the city's SoMa neighborhood in October, and has been drawing lines out the door since.

The counter-service restaurant is part of restauranteur Adriano Paganini's growing empire, which includes Super Duper Burger, Unos Dos Tacos, and about 20 other Bay Area restaurants. Like the popular burger chain, The Bird features a limited menu of just two entrées and fries.
