Fresh hot wings are worth the wait because they are made to order.

Visiting from out of state and the chicken is amazing! Listen to the spicy level recommendations! Level 2 is spicy but flavorful.

Chicken was fried with too much oil!!! we had to return it. 20 mins late we got the same over fried chicken. Bad experience! The chicken sandwich and tender were a touch better. Would not recommend the fried leg and thigh.

The chicken sandwich was huge and expensive and very spicy.If you like huge spicy chicken this is the place for you. I got the minimum spice and it was almost too spicy to eat but I'm a spice wimp.I know it's right there in the name but it would be nice to have a non-spicy option if you go with your friends who like super-spicy food.

Definitely a unique place. I was here on a Tuesday, when the bowling alley is closed, so other than people coming in for pickup it was pretty quiet. There are two small tables for dining in, which I did. I ordered the hot chicken sandwich with level 2 heat (first date). The sandwich is huge. The heat was manageable, thankfully, because some reviews sounded a little daunting. I have to say I’m glad I tried it and the sandwich was good, but just ok and not spectacular. I also had pasta salad (just ok as well). I wanted to give this place a five star review, because the idea is solid, but just couldn’t.

I heard about this place from a friend and since I love hot chicken sandwiches, I def needed to try. This place is located in a bowling alley.I came on a Saturday during lunch time. No lines and service was pretty quick. You order at a kiosk and your order should come out within 15 mins.There's about 2 tables with chairs. I think people mainly get this to go. Everything I ordered was bomb! Hot Chicken Sandwich: I got spicy level 2 and it was medium spicy. If I got a level up, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to eat it. It was spicy enough for level 2. The chicken is hugeeeee! Honestly could be shared with two people. It was very crispy and super moist inside. Honestly one of the best hot chicken sandwiches I've ever had!The sides I tried were all amazing but my favorite was the seasoned fries. Eat it fresh because it's not as good if you eat it later.Overall, it's amazing! Will come back.

Def feeling the burn with Love Burn. If you like SPICY fried chicken, this place does not play around! I have a low spice tolerance so I ordered a "crush" aka mild & it was still too spicy for me. The size of the chicken is gigantic. So worth the price! The meat was soft and tender. It's located inside in a bowling place with fun arcade games. Good food, vibes, & music! I really liked the hot ranch but should have asked for cool ranch to help alleviate the spice lol.

One of THE best fried chicken sandwiches in the Bay Area is hidden in this bowling alley in South San Francisco. Love Burn not only has the most massive chicken sandwiches I've seen, they're also known to have the spiciest fried chicken in the Bay. My friend had to sign a waiver to try their 5-level spice challenge. But if you're like me and not looking to die on the toilet the next day, the level 0 or 1 are still incredibly juicy and delicious.It's mainly takeout and you can choose your spice level 0-5. For $14 they do not mess around - even the level 1 got me ngl

Ordered the hot chicken tenders and the cinnamon sugar churro fries via door dash. I had the level 3 spiciness and OUCH. I thought I could handle that level but should've downgraded, beware. Churro fries came with a caramel sauce and both were delicious! Chicken was also delicious, just...comes with pain.

Hidden gem located inside of a Bowling Alley. Lots of parking and security.Seasoned fries: 5/5Churros: 4/5 (bit dry) Mild level 1 chicken sandwich: 5/5. The breading is special, it tastes a bit like ramen crushed up and fried with the chicken breast which is also gigantic. The flavors are all there and not messy at all. Easily top 3 fried chicken spot in the Bay Area, #1 in the peninsula/SF area for sure. Service was great, the gentlemen at the cashier is very friendly. LocTed inside of a bowling alley and next to a bar so expect it to be a bit noisy.

Love Burn is ranked #3 on my spots in the bay area to get a spicy chicken sandwich $15. It took about 10 minutes for them to create my spicy chicken sandwich. The whole iPad ordering system is bugged. First, the menu didn't have the garlic fries that I wanted. Second, the chip reader on their thingamajig didn't work. I had to tap it instead. The sandwich tasted fine with fresh ingredients. The coleslaw started falling out while I tried to eat it at a table, at the bar on the side. That's a good thing when they put too much stuff in a sandwich. Who doesn't love a messy sandwich? Good job staff at Love Burn.
