The best thing about it is that it’s fast, it’s fairly cheap, and it’s a delicious filling meal that you can pick up while stopping in just for gas.Here's a breakdown of Instacart delivery cost: During the day, there is always a good selection of chicken. I don’t know if this location is always serving chicken 24/7, but I know I’ve been in there late at night and there is still food available. It’s gas station food, but it’s actually quite tasty. The pieces of chicken are too hot to handle when you first get them so the short drive back to my office gave them some time to chill out.Ĭhester’s Chicken is kind of an oddity. When you break the pieces open, steam comes pouring out.

The chicken comes out of the warming area really hot. The crispy batter/breading is has the crunchiness of breading and it’s loosely stuck to the big, juicy pieces of white meat chicken like a batter would. They’re covered in kind of a cross between a batter and a breading. The chicken tenders from Chester’s are a pretty good size. I had the cash on me so I just paid there to make things easier on both of us. The chicken and drink came out to a little over eight bucks. If you’re doing credit, they’ll have to ring you up at the main counter. If you pay cash, you pay right at the chicken counter. I got five chicken fingers and grabbed a Mt. My plan was to eat at my desk I went something pretty simple. I’ve always really liked everything I’ve gotten. I’ve eaten at this Chester’s a few times just because there is always food here hot and ready to eat. The menu is mostly chicken, but they have some other fried stuff as well including pizza puffs, Bosco sticks, and potato wedges. It sits apart from the main register area but close enough that the same person can work both counters if need be. The Chester’s part of the Shell station isn’t much more than a glass enclosed warming counter with food on display. They’re really popular in trucks stops and here in Kalamazoo, there are two that I know of. Introducing the NEW Fried Chicken Sandwich with a soft, warm Martins Potato Roll, a perfectly crispy, double-breaded chicken breast fillet, a swirl of Chesters Sauce, and three crisp dill pickle chips. There are no stand alone restaurants that I’m aware of. The chain of fried chicken restaurants based in Alabama is pretty exclusive to convenience stores throughout the country. Get some chicken.Ĭhester’s Chicken is found inside the Shell Station on the west end of downtown Kalamazoo. As I was standing there, I started looking at chips or a beef stick or something to tide me over and thought, that’s stupid. On the way back, I stopped at the Shell Station on the corner of Michigan and Westnedge for gas and to pick up a Pepsi. One day recently, I went out on a solo task and left my colleague at the office. Others have burgers, pizzas, Tornados and hot dogs waiting for you to grab at certain times of day. Some of them, like the one in Wayland, have full-on cafe’s where food is made fresh 24/7. My typical go-to when it comes to gas station food is Speedway. I’ll stop at a gas station somewhere and come out with a burger, a slice of pizza, or even a cold deli sandwich to go along with the three Pepsi’s I just bought. I just started with a new co-worker who was surprised that I can find meals when I stop for gas. I eat more gas station food than I care to admit.
