Chicken Restaurants near San Leandro

“I love Dave’s Hot Chicken. The food is always incredible and packaged with care. Also the food is always out in a timely manner. The team is always nice and helpful, and the location is well put together. The one in Oakland is wonderful too. Thank you guys !“

“I use to love driving here for some good chicken. Yea, do they have it at a ton of gas stations? Yes,but the real store waa the best. Now it's just meeh. Atoposhere kinda sad. The worker cooked my food and was on the phone the whole time, my food took 30 mins and someone who walked in to order after me was served before me. Oh and check soda can dates 2 sodas expired in March!Biscuits were good though.“

“Although I’m not a fan of bone-in chicken, everything else at this KFC specifically is amazing—very kind people, every time I ask for fresh they let me know the wait time and I almost always wait!! The food is impeccable and delicious, I’d say not once was my food bad or not to standard. Maybe I’m a KFC fanatic 🤷 but who knows, their food is amazing, the people are nice & also speak Spanish, super fast and fresh everything (I mostly get fries, mash, tenders, etc.) Overall I’d rate this place 10/10!! I recommend going to anyone, either new or returning customer!“

“They need to rename this place Popeyes Fried Cornish Hen. The pieces of chicken were tiny! This was perfect example of shrinkflation. I knew the second I picked up my box of food. It was suspect and light. Even the side dish was skimpy. I used to really enjoy my meals here. This was an eye opener. The only saving Grace was the flavor of the chicken was still there. The staff was reasonably friendly and efficient. Minus one star because no one was attending the dining room. Could have used a little wiping down.“

“That NEW Golden chicken is on HIT. Very interesting flavor. Very good.“

“Okay wow. My kids love this spot and I never tried it bc I thought it was just whatever but I finally ordered a single tender for myself to see what the hype was all about and it was so good!!! I got mild which is just a tiny kick but not where you need to find water and it was so good! Amazingly crispy even after waiting after I had driven home to eat it and the pickles and super soft slice of bread was the perfect complement. The batter is very tasty with a hint of sweet and the chicken itself felt like great quality and wasn’t dry. Okay I get it now! Will order myself some food the next time the kids ask for this!“

“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!“

“Now that its near me, i am in trouble.“

“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.“
