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.

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

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.

My only reason for a lesser rating is because i dont like businesses that dont accept cash. Dont support businesses that dont accept cash. Its not right.

Ordered a sandwich online and received one of the saddest look sandwiches I've ever seen. The absolute bare minimum of cole slaw, which added to the dryness of the sandwich. Don't plan on ordering from here again.
Business response:
It's a downer to learn we didn't deliver the experience you expected. We take this seriously and want to make things right. Tell us more at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc so your next review can be as bright as five stars.
Delivery quality has gone wayyyyy down. Ordered on Doordash, got my usual (#2, medium spicy) and two bites in I realize there's the tiniest amount of slaw on the sandwich and there's no sauce. This amount of slaw is laughable. It was like this on both sandwiches. Also, paying $1 for "Xtra pickles" and getting 3 pickle chips is silly. Don't bother. To top it all off, the spice level is inconsistent. Bummer bc this place used to be decent.
Business response:
Oh no! We're very sorry we let you down. We would like to make this right. Would you be willing to connect with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc so we can get a second chance to impress you? -Julie
