If this fad is indeed here to stay, then Krisp does seem primed to achieve its main goal, which is becoming one of the city's premiere fast-food eateries. Photo by Gwendolyn Knapp What is the reason? The fried chicken sandwiches, which are just a tad irresistible.īy now it’s well established that Houston has a rather large fried chicken sandwich trend on its hands with new variations being added on the daily. There is also a strong penchant for self-branding on the walls here that, to anyone who has spent ample time in a Michaels craft store, bears a strong resemblance to those word-bedecked scrapbooking pages that always carry a theme, be it a wedding or Valentine's Day, or in this case sustainable chickens. Anyways, the wall art isn't the reason to head to Krisp. It is, however, astoundingly clean and welcoming - fresh signage and bright metal tables out front seem cheery enough, and inside there’s good natural lighting, a sleek white bar counter, wooden high and low top with chairs and banquettes accented in bright orange and white. That is to say, the dining area serves its perfunctory purpose of ushering hoards of chicken-obsessed lunch seekers in and out in a timely fashion, coming off neither too frugal nor hipster in its approach. In terms of design, Krisp sort of comes off like a Whataburger for the Shake Shake generation. The new restaurant is the brainchild of former Prohibition chef Ben McPherson, who you’ll find either behind Krisp's counter or in front of it, helping his staff of 12 adapt to the daily onslaught of folks who have already taken to the menu and to the almighty Yelp to espouse the restaurant’s nearly five-star ranking. It's called Krisp Bird & Batter, and its fried chicken sandwiches and tenders, made from non-GMO, non-hormone pasture-raised poultry, are worth a trip, not just for the flavorful menu but for a price point that's pretty reasonable, considering. Tucked away in a small strip mall that includes a beauty salon and a Burger King, a new small but mighty fast food eatery is starting to make a name for itself. ![]()
