Finally got to try Dave's Hot Chicken and it was good! Overall, I felt the chicken was good quality and they make ordering so easy by offering a few options on the menu. Food: - Quality: 4.5/5 (feels like chicken breast? So good!) - Taste/Flavor: 4/5 (got medium spicy and can definitely feel the heat) - Portion: 5/5 - Presentation: 4/5 Other: - Customer Service: 4.5/5 (cashier was helpful, pick up assistant was offer sauces and being respectful) - Wait time: 3.5/5 (felt like we waited a while, maybe ~15 mins) - Seating: In... read more

[2.7/5] This is a spot that I have heard a lot about and have passed by when I've been in SoCal but have never had the chance to try it. I've heard a lot of good things and thought I was going to be in for a great meal. After eating it, I can comfortably say, "meh". I had a medium and hot slider where the medium was as if there was absolutely no heat at all and the hot was barely any heat. For it to be named hot chicken, the heat was really downplayed and essentially a non-factor. As well, I'm not sure if the heat is suppose... read more

Huge sandwich!!! But dry as heck! I was about to choke to death. You definitely need a strong side to push the meat down. If you like extra THICK chicken, then this is the place for you.

Whoever was on staff at the register at around 2:40pm was extremely helpful. The guy went to the kitchen to check on my order as it was a pickup order and let me know my food would be out in a few minutes. I was greeting by staff even before I set foot in the store and they insured I got my order in a timely manner.

This is a solid hot chicken spot! I got an order of Dave's #3 ($13.49), which consists of one tender, one slider, and fries. I went with hot for both the tender and slider, but I thought the hot tasted a bit closer to a medium than hot. I'm big on spicy food, so I wish I had went with extra hot instead for more of a kick. Note that if you choose the reaper heat level, you have to sign a waiver. My favorite item I tried was the slider, which was bigger than what I had expected a slider to be. The fried chicken was perfectly ... read more

They serve fried chicken sandwiches here as sliders but make no mistake. It's much more than a slider. I ordered a #3 which is 2 sliders and a side of crinkle cut fries. I chose the medium level spiciness and it was still a little hot. It came on the usual brioche bun and Cole slaw as the condiments you usually see on a fried chicken sandwich. The piece of chicken was pretty big, cooked well, and not too dry. It's pretty filling for lunch. It's close to the 19th Street Bart station if you don't feel like driving.

Located in downtown oakland this new chicken spot is pretty good. I'd definitely say mild isn't spicy to be 100 but pretty dam good. They were fucken packed going in. Definitely try to order online through the site to pick up if possible . The inside was pretty cool to be honest . A lot of art on the walls.

I have not been to one of the other chains and went in just knowing they serve chicken. I put a mobile in online an hour prior to opening time and my order was ready upon pickup. I ordered one medium hot chicken slider with cheese fries. The slider was pretty much a chicken tender sandwiched with slaw, sauce, and pickles. The chicken had a soft exterior texture with chicken breast type texture. It had a Smokey taste with not any heat on the spice scale even though I ordered medium hot. Pretty okay taste wise. The efficiency... read more

I saw this location when I was in the area before it opened so I've had it on my radar to try out in my everlasting search for a quality hot chicken sandwich in the Bay. I have to say, it didn't disappoint! I arrived just before the second lunch rush around 12:45 and after asking the guy at the counter, settled on a "hot" slider and fries combo. There was about a 10 minute wait but my food was hot when it was ready and I decided to grab a window seat and dine in. "Hot" was described to me as "like a hot Cheeto". For my tas... read more
