Chicken Shops near San Lorenzo, CA

“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.“

“Original recipe was tasty loved it. Rather have fries than wedges with my meal.“

“Great variety of tasty dishes on the menu and the food was delicious! I loved the “secret” specials - you need to ask to find out what they are. Fun cocktail options. And, all of the dessert options were awesome! My fav was the cheeseburger - YUM! I 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)“

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

“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!“

“Hands down best food, their tomato soup is to die for and their grilled sandwiches pair perfectly. They also have amazing sweet potato fries. We had amazing service from Larisha. I would recommend this to any one in the mood for a delicious meal!“

“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“

“Tried it for the first time yesterday. We’ve walked by many times during lunch, thinking it was just another fast food chicken place…..finally gave it a try. It was excellent and staff was friendly. Chicken was fresh and crispy. They have many spice levels to choose from. Medium was plenty hot for me. The chicken tender was great, but the sliders were even better. Totally recommend this place!“

“Great place to eat before your flight. Located close by OAK International Airport. There are lots of free parking spaces available. Dining area is limited. No outdoor seating. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I got their original giant burger. It was good but there was nothing special about it. I'll come by and try their other burgers next time.

Tables need to be cleaned and chairs arranged. It was a little messy in there.“

“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.“

“Chicken On Fire in Castro Valley is a true mom-and-pop gem that we've been coming back to for years. The chicken is always perfectly crispy and crunchy and made fresh every time.

The side of fries are always hot and crispy and make a great side order. The side salad is also helpful at keeping your mouth cooled down from the heat of the freshly fried chicken as well as the spicy sauces!

My wife and I usually split a medium order of wings and do half medium spicy and half spicy hot, which is the perfect balance for US.

The owner is incredibly kind and always checks in to make sure everything is good, in our lives as well as the food, which really adds to the experience.

Consistently fresh, crunchy, and delicious-this place never disappoints!“

“The pho ga is flavorful. The steam chicken is tender and delicious. I warmed up the chicken since I prefer it that way. The chicken wings are bigger than normal, but they taste good.
A big shout out for an excellent service. 👍👍“
