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

So many fried chicken options now in Downtown Oakland, DHC just opened on the corner of Broadway and Grand Ave. The inside is simple with colorful paint and plenty of tables and bar seating along the windows. The menu is very basic, choice of spicy (Reaper, Xtra Hot, Hot, Med, Mild, lite, and no spice) then pick either slider (tender with one slice of white bread0 or slider ( hamburger bun with a bigger piece of chicken). They also have fries. I picked the hot spicy combo. The taste was good, hot but not overwhelming, and th... read more

Walked into this place after a concert, and didn't regret it at all. Ordered: 2 slider w/ fries set - This set had two generous sliders and a good amount of fries. It was Nashville hot chicken, so it had a good lingering dry spice, even at hot which was 3 levels from the top. The sliders were generously portioned, and this meal fed me and my friend satisfyingly. Also, the employees there were super nice, with good recommendations on portions and were super nice! Definitely recommend this place, provides good competiti... read more

I was a little underwhelmed with how "loaded" my fries were. Barely any cheese, coleslaw or chicken and lots of fries. I got a medium but it tasted like no heat. The size of the chicken were about the same size of my kids chicken nuggets from chick fil a. I mean it tasted fine but the only thing that was loaded was my disappointment.

I ordered the mini sliders and was very disappointed. They should be called tiny chicken nuggets. It's hard to understand how they charge $7.49 for almost nothing. The box was almost weightless. I would eat it again if it was free but I would never order that again. It was a waste of time and money but I learned my lesson.

The chicken sandwich is abnormally huge. I'm sure it's GMO. The flavor of the chicken sandwich was bland. The chicken was just coated with an unnatural color red seasoning that had zero flavor. And it was not hot at all. The sandwich is edible, but not good. Also don't care for their fries. Won't be returning.
