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.“

“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!“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken never disappoints! The chicken is crispy, juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I love that you can choose your spice level, so there’s something for everyone. The fries and sliders are also really good, and the portions are generous.

The food is fresh, the staff is friendly, and the service is always solid. If you’re a fan of hot chicken, Dave’s is definitely worth checking out. Great food, great flavor, and a fun atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Customer service was phenomenal. The burgers were outstanding delicious. I had a salad as well. It was a nice day so I enjoyed my lunch outside on the patio and people watched. What a lovely day in Oakland. Don't forget to enjoy one of their housemade lemondades. Enjoy :-)“

“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“

“Really tasty chicken and spice was perfect. I enjoy the music they play and it’s very chill and calm when everyone is eating and vibing, lots of seating and not over crowded. The fries were also very crispy and big. Dave’s hot chicken was just way too packed full of children and too busy to bother to order and dine in. We saw this place was close by open late and we all went and really enjoyed the food ten times better not to mention they have a drive thru too if you don’t want to go inside and order. Definitely will be back!“

“This place is great! Staff was cool, food terrific and they support Meals on Wheels. Super place!“

“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!“

“5 stars. Diana and her husband run the best chicken operation in the Bay Area, full stop. The Korean fried wings are shatter crisp outside, juicy inside, glazed in a sweet heat savory sauce that nothing else on the West Coast touches.

Everything here is made from scratch, her husband treats every recipe like a trade secret, and you can taste why. Get the wings and the fries. Save room for dessert, imported from Italy.

If Chicks on Fire ever left the Bay, I’d have to reconsider my zip code.“

“Wow. Had the mild sandwich last night and slaw. Small but noticeable amount of heat (which is subjective, of course). Moist. Fresh ingredients. Very good bun. Outstanding taste of chicken and toppings/sauces. Might be my favorite chicken sandwich I've ever eaten.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Mac and cheese and tender“

“5 STARS/HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Honestly, standard-setting service here! The young man, named Cedric, who happened to have helped me was super friendly, insanely fast, and on top of everything. Huge props to manager Theresa for keeping this place running like clockwork. The fried chicken was awesome and the mango pie—I’ll definitely be back soon for these delicious fix! Thank you!“

“buen y rapido serv y muy rica la comida“

“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!!“

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

“Rosemary roasted potatoes are amazing!! Best food truck around!“

“I was looking for a salad somewhere other than Mixt and was directed here by a friend. Their salads are so good, full, fresh, and they're so flavorful you don't need much dressing at all. It was so good that I went back for lunch the very next day. I've only had their grilled chicken in a salad, but it's delicious and can be gluten free. Definitely worth the DoorDash delivery!!“
