Chicken Shops near Castro Valley, CA

“One of our favorite lunch spots when we visit the area. Staff are always so helpful and friendly ready to help you. Food is good, nice portions and able to eat dinner for the family. Always a stop for us at least once on our weekend trips to the area.“

“I haven't been to this KFC for a while, thought they did a great job. The food was very good, the atmosphere has gone through a remodel and looks great. If there was one thing that stood out was the service: Friendly, and quick. Would definitely go back.“

“It was our first time at The Melt, and Luis made the whole visit feel easy and welcoming. He helped us choose what to try, and his recommendations were on point. The Meltburger was juicy and full of flavor, the Mac Daddy was crazy good, and the Three Cheese Classic tasted like real comfort food. Luis checked in on us, made sure everything came out hot, and you could tell he really cares about the guest experience. Because of him, our first visit turned into a new favorite spot.“

“X-tra Hot! Not above my tolerance, enough for that lip burning sensation, but does not linger afterwards nor makes breathing difficult, if you know what I mean (that's Holy Chic+ levels). I can feel that heat moving through my belly for a day after! 🔥 (pretty much the same as Dave's though)“

“I had an amazing experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken thanks to Raquel! From the moment I walked in, she was welcoming, friendly, and super patient while I decided what to order. She explained the spice levels clearly and made sure I picked something I’d love.

The food was fresh and delicious, but what really stood out was Raquel’s positive attitude and great customer service. She checked in to make sure everything was good and made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming.

Employees like Raquel are the reason I’ll definitely be coming back. Dave’s Hot Chicken is lucky to have her!“

“Finally made the 90-minute trek to Dave’s Hot Chicken with the fam! 🍗 The vibe was great—super friendly staff and a very clean spot despite the crowd. The chicken was fresh, hot, and delicious. Only downside was no cheese sticks today, but that just gives us an excuse to come back soon!“

“Been going to Porky's Pizza since the late 60's“

“If you crave an old fashion burger complete with iceberg lettuce this place is for you. Today was my first time there and I went with the cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate shake. The burger was good. Not great but honest. Gave it 7.5. The crinkled fries were mid. Pretty sure they were frozen. I didn't eat em all. Needed salt. The shake was decent and you get a large. Right there i knew it wouldn't be the best shake. For 20 bucks plus tip it was ok. I don't think i got their best. Next time I'm trying the teriyaki burger and chicken. It's a small, side of the road joint that's so close to being incredible.“

“The fried chicken is crispy outside and juicy tender inside. The various chicken combos are good deals. There is a wait for orders because the food is not precooked and sitting under heat lamps. Parking can be difficult and the small parking lot fills up quickly. I will definitely be returning!“

“This place is primarily a gas station and car wash. The chicken is better than McDonalds' chicken nuggets but it is a sideline here. The store that is a part of the gas station is the best and most well stocked of any similar store that is a part of a gas station operation. And the service is superb.“

“This spot is a food truck completely covered in graffiti and permanently stationed inside the parking lot of a convenience store. You’ll need a keen eye to find them, but the Hotboys name and logo are on that truck. I had to do a second take to be sure I was in the right place. Also, other folks walking past the food truck was my only clue that there’s a nook with more tables nearby.

I could swear that the chicken tender meal has more chicken than the sandwich, and those were THICK tenders, let me tell you. Each one had to weigh at least 4 ounces. You can’t see it, but the tenders come with a piece of Texas-toast-style white bread and pickles on the side.

I decided to give my tear ducts a break and went for Medium this time. I teared up once . . . but I swear it was the sun. LOL. For me, including toast is extraneous, as I ordered a chicken tender combo specifically to avoid bread. But a plain slice of white bread is a very southern touch, so I can’t hand out a demerit for my personal preference. I just didn’t eat it.

The crinkle-cut fries come tossed in an addicting and light Cajun seasoning. They’re served with the same money dipping sauce that comes on top of the sandwich. I liked it more for dipping than poured on the sandwich.“

“The Korean fried chicken was delicious. The staff was a big help. They helped me pick out a good bottle of cold sake.“

“I had El Pollo loco 3 times in the last week .I live there chicken drums and thighs.10-10 stars .Food was hot and ready. I enjoyed it a lot .I ordered a small Mac n cheese and small rice .It was very tasty and delicious. I will go back for sure again .It was fast and ready when I went or the drive through .“

“Great stuff! Chinese Vietnamese style pho served with a ginger scallion sauce which really makes the dish. You can pick from 4 different kinds of noodles.

Boneless Chicken Noodle ($15.99) - Shredded chicken for the lazy customers! Broth tasted pretty good.“

“Out of the Jollibee's in our area, this location is the best. Not too long of a wait and service is understandable; are on top of their game. Location is pretty new and plenty of tables but this main location is busy. There is private parking in front and back. Expect a crowd as this is inside Seafood Market.

I really like their fried chicken. More spicy than regular chicken. This comes with gravy. Their deluxe chicken sandwiches are good as well. My favorite dessert here is their peach mango pie. Their ube pie is ok. Their drinks are ok but I'd rather go to a specialty drink shop. Recommend their food.“

“This might be a gas station but the way they inject the chicken with seasoning makes a wonderful flavor and not to spicy like popeye's is. They have large boxes of chicken for your family to have leftovers, and your going to want them tomorrow. Deals on 25 pcs or more. Easy to fill up and get dinner at one stop!!“

“OG from way back Been going there since I was knee high“

“The best grilled chicken ever....never dry! the garlic sauce is superb as well!“

“Great food! Cutomer service is great 👍🏽 !“

“The chicken is great. A fantastic grab for on the go eating. Well seasoned and cooked right. Reasonably priced as well.

Service and atmosphere? Well, it's a gas station.. So set your expectations accordingly.

But the food is good.“

“I had the chicken beef and ribs bento box. The ribs were so good I went back and ordered another set of ribs for later. The customer service was awesome I had never been there before and they were quick to point out their favorite recommendations so thumbs up. Sorry I didn't take any pictures cuz I ate it too fast.“

“when I'm not in the mood to cook the first thing I think about is going to them.“

“It’s was so tender and the codslew was deliteful. I asked for a large cup of moyanaise and millions of sugar packs . The puerto ricanero sauce was also mixed. All and all my wife’s endocrine belly pain was subdivided for the whole time eating at the liquors near bawarkaks helical meat bakery. I didn’t share ta’eh. Open another in the Gteatest city of UC.. home of the A’s…BP’s . D 6 4 !“

“This is so tasty n crunchy Halal fried chicken in the area, better than other chains. Got 8 pieces chicken 2 times with different sides n both times chicken was tender inside and crunchy from outside. Flavor n spices are so good and balanced. Will definitely go back again, recommend to everyone who is a big fan of fried chicken, and its HALAL!“
