Nasty. Looked good on the commercials, though. They are popular so good thing everyone's taste buds are different.

this place is illegally doing business. They said they don't take cash@!! Legal currency!!!! That's illegal!! And on top of that the drink is sold separately from. The combo wtf!!!
Way too expensive for me. Looks smells taste good, but the servings are too small, where I would have to buy two items just for myself.

Appreciate you giving us a try, Gail! We get that pricing matters, and we always aim to serve up quality food that’s worth it. Thanks for the feedback!
Obvi I didn't think I was going to have the experience of the girl on the ads saying it was the best thing she'd had in her life (tf?!)...but I wanted to give the Cauli Slider with Fries a try. There's not a lot to recommend : I ordered mild to be cautious on spice level and it wasn't so much as it was -still- quite spicy, but it didn't taste good. It was covered in this spice powder so that it over powered the sando and all you could taste was the powdery spice. The powder also gave me cotton mouth, I was sooooo thirsty ch... read more

Sorry to hear the Cauli Slider and fries didn’t hit the mark for you, B.G. That’s definitely not the experience we want our guests to have. We’d love to make things right—please reach out at dhcfeedback.com so we can look into this.
Hot garbage. There's other spots spanking Dave's in every way. If you're going here and not to the local spots you're a buster.

Sorry we didn’t stack up to your local favorite. If you’d like to share more, reach out at dhcfeedback.com.
You don't have to sell me on hot chicken. I first tried it at Hattie B.'s in Nashville where hot chicken started and liked it a lot (review: https://yelp.to/C7-LPOnXAh). There are at least three spots in Downtown Oakland - Hotbird and World Famous Hotboys are the others we've tried - though this is the only one that's part of a local chain. Jamie W and I had been wanting to try it for a while, so we stopped by after a walk around Lake Merritt. It was fairly busy, but we managed to snag a table once we ordered. Jamie didn't ... read more
Business response:
Thanks for the detailed review, Ed! We’re so glad you enjoyed the hot chicken and found it satisfying. We appreciate the feedback about portion sizes and dark meat options—something to keep in mind for next time! We hope your next visit will be even better.
Homeless man sitting in there followed me back to the car and forced to give the food away. It was scary and couldn't even enjoy the food.

Why would you go here when World Famous Hot Boys is also in Oakland! This place was not good at all. Such a waste of money!! The chicken was fried to death with such a thick crust on the outside. My brother got the reaper chicken and had to sign a wavier in order to eat it. That was 100% a gimmick. I don't like hot hot food and that was trash. I would NEVER waste money here again. The only one dipping sauce they have is regular thousand island dressing they mopped the floors while we're were sitting there eating and they ha... read more

I went to the Union City location on a weed end evening. The service was SOOO SLOW. It was more than 30 minutes from the time you walked to the counter to place an order to the time you receive the food. The food (fries, chicken strips and cauliflowers) was salty. They don't provide free water. You have to buy an empty cup and then can request water. will never go back.
