Really like the chicken at this place. The seasoning and the crispy-ness is just right. I've been…read morethere many times and I do have a couple issues. First, the inconsistent size of the chicken pieces. Every so often, I'll get a piece of chicken that is like 2-3 ounces, or about 1/2 the size of a normal piece. It's happened to me so many times that now I just go back to the counter and show them the tiny piece of chicken. They're usually pretty nice about it and will just give me another small piece to make it like a normal portion. Second, the weird pricing is a bit unfair. The single slider used to be $6. Over time it has gone up to $9, so basically $10 with tax. Fries are like $4.50 a la carte. So if you ordered 2 sliders and a fries a la carte it would be $22.50. But the meal with two sliders and fries, I believe it's $15. That's a nice discount for bundling the items, but sometimes I only want a slider. Slider alone should be like $7, not $9.

I've ordered Dave's Hot Chicken quite a few times, regretting it, and always wanting to go back…read more The spice burns, the chicken is juicy , and a good crunch on the outside. It's like a good ol' toxic relationship when you get it hot and even hotter- makes one regret and want it even more. Hot and juicy . And I love their Carolina Reaper level (not for the faint of heart, if you're not used to that heat tolerance ) . Makes ya burn. The juicy chicken and deep fried batter is amazing . They got a good recipe going, and a hot spice level. I always wonder about their buns, wanting it to be ciabatta with the sliders, but hamburger buns are ok. Not my favorite choice. I like the old school white bread they use that's keeping it traditional- you gotta use it to soak the extra seasoning with the sweetness. It's sometimes rare you'd find actual HOT food around here. Fog Belt's Brewery Carolina Reaper sauce does me another justice on the heat world. This place the 2'nd in the ring . The level they put at their max is the real deal . Juicy and HOT chicken . Take it from a Dave who likes spicy food like myself

There were few choices for sides and most had an up charge which seemed a bit weird. The best part of my experience was the lovely masked and gloved sweet little lady that joyfully packed my order. She suggested the brisket over the pork ribs. Unfortunately, the food was subpar. I guess I was expecting a more Southern style with maybe more traditional entrees like collard greens. I cringed when I saw a small plastic pre-made container with my mac & cheese put into a microwave. The food seemed what you might expect in a school cafeteria, maybe. I'm sorry to not have a positive review of the food but give two stars for the service.

Several years ago I tried the Hotboys location in Oakland and I gave them 3 stars because I felt…read morelike the wings were heavily battered. Today I was driving through Novato and craving spicy fried chicken. I see most people get the sando from here but I like to just stick to the chicken and not let the bread get in the way! Ordered 2 half chicken light only, which means the wing + breast and then another half chicken that includes the wing + breast + leg + thigh = so altogether, both orders $54.62 It seems expensive considering a whole raw chicken is about $5 but they do some voodoo magic to their fried chicken at Hotboys -- the seasoning is delicious, batter is crispy, and meat inside is still juicy -- the breast meat goes well dipped in their special sauce and they bagged plenty for me! Service was excellent -- very friendly and accommodating! The music is hyped up so it can be a little loud. Bathrooms were very clean. I thoroughly enjoyed digging into my half chicken with my hands. The wait is about 20 minutes but it's not a problem to wait for good chicken! It came out so hot that I was willing to burn my fingers a little LOL

It was a slight detour from where I was but it was work the drive here as I found Rustic Bakery right next door that my friend told me about the had good pastries. On their website, They use 100% halal chicken, peanut oil, wheat and soy products. I ordered the Chicken Sandwich Combo which is The World Famous Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich and your choice of side. This restaurant is located around the bay area like Oakland, Walnut Creek, Sacramento & Hayward or our locations in Carmel Indiana & Indianapolis. I love the hip looking decor. Something everyone can be surprised with and makes a great conversation starter like aliens and I used to have toy like that growing up. lol good meal combo I got with mild chicken sandwich with fries and a drink was very enjoyable and I would be more than happy to come back to World Famous Hotboys. I was impressed and it was yummy in my tummy.

Not for me. I finally gave Starbird a try for lunch…read more Ordering is easy. I ordered chicken nuggets. Then I waited about 10 minutes for my order which isn't too bad during a busy time of day. Nuggets arrived as a to-go order in a box inside a huge bag. That was a waste of paper. I never said I wanted it to-go & the person taking the order never asked. If I ever were to go again I'd be sure to state dine-in. Anyway, the real issue is the nuggets. Dry, over-cooked & nearly tasteless. Too much breading although it was crunchy. I'm not a sauce person so I didn't order any. If that is what is supposed to turn these into chicken goodness then it's a fail. They should be tender, juicy & flavorful on their own. The restaurant is bright & clean. The noise level is unpleasantly loud. Nothing in the design of the interior is soaking up the horrible screeching sound of every metal chair that slides on the tile floor as people move around. Everyone working here is friendly & helpful.

Side Street Kitchen had such high reviews we were really excited to sit down and enjoy a meal…read more We walked up and stood in line, when another customer came up and asked if the people ahead of us had ordered. We said no, we're just waiting in line. They walked around us and went inside. The hostesses came out and speaks only to the people directly in front of us. I heard, "you're in the wrong area, you can order inside." Neither my husband or I are acknowledged, given an eta, or menus. So we wait for the people ahead of us to move and they do nothing but look at their menus. We wait a bit more, nothing. So we walk up to the menu on the wall to decide what we want. The people are still standing there, so we assume they don't know what they want yet and go inside to order. The hostess walks up to us and anxiously tells us there's a line. I let her know we were in it and the people in front of us weren't moving. She tells us to wait outside, and again no eta or menus are given to us. So we go back to our spot in line and look at all the empty tables and decide that the system feels disorganized and there appears to be only one waitress for 10+ tables. After waiting a bit more, we leave. At the end of the day, Side Street could have had proper signage for the line. The hostess could have addressed everyone and handed out menus. The restaurant could have even gone fancy and had an ordering tablet. But as it currently stands, Side Street Kitchen's service isn't great and its structure needs some work, so we don't see ourselves returning.

I don't think it's on their take-out menu, but somehow I was able to locate it. Imagine lean, tender short ribs simmered in a clear broth, served with clear noodles. No need to spruce it up, as it is already flavored perfectly. I would say, it's the closest thing to homemade, without being homemade. The only downside is if you order on Door Dash, they don't tell you that the restaurant closes from 4pm to 4:30pm. But having had to wait outside in the cold, only made the soup that much better.

The wings were fried to perfection where the outside was crispy but the inside was so juicy and tender. But I didn't care for the glaze (which I believe is their "garlic soy glaze"), because it had a strong mustard flavor, which I totally didn't expect from the name. I was really expecting a savory and garlicky soy sauce flavor that would be balanced with a hint of sweetness. So the mustard flavor really took me by surprise and I wasn't a fan - If I had known they used mustard in that glaze, I wouldn't have ordered it. Service was nice and quite fast. I liked how after we placed our order, they pre-warned us that it might take them 20 mins to prepare the wings, although it turned out to be faster than 20 mins, which we appreciated :) The restaurant looks small from the outside but is so spacious on the inside. the restaurant was clean and organized.
