    I was craving friend chicken and was not able to find anything that caught my eye. But eventually found hetchy's hots. The menu on door dash was amazing since it had pictures of what what you would be ordering. Some of the stores don't have pictures which would be very helpful. I decided to try the hetch Calabria which comes with Calabria spice, be pickles, mama lil's peppers and lemon aoli. And I also ordered the szetchy fries which comes with szechuan powder. When you order the hetch burger you have a choice of hot oil or extra hot oil. Who may know me I will always opt for the extra hot. When I first opened the box I was amazing at how much it looked like the picture on door dash. The fried chicken was coated and fried perfectly. The lil's pepper adds another level of spice. I was busy at work and couldn't eat for an hour after the delivery and was surprised that the chicken was not soggy or limp. It was still fresh and crunch. But the bun was another story. It was a bit soggy. The fries was delicious. A nice coating of szechuan seasoning. And still crunchy after sitting for an hour. But some parts were soft like the center of the fries. I wish it was a bit more crunchy and less limp in the center. But I can't wait to come back and order other items.

    Got to try out this place recently! Got the plain chicken sandwich with ranch Fries. The fries were so amazing and honestly the portion for everything was so big. Their fries and sandwiches are a little pricy BUT I think they're worth the size. To me there wasn't much flavor but I'd probably have to try a different sandwich or not get it plain! But it's all about the flavoring in the batter!! Lol anyways, it was good perfectly! Super juicy but crispy and cooked through very well! I split the sandwich with my boyfriend and we were both full after! I also added their trio of sauces on the side because who doesn't like sauce options ?? But I highly recommend doing that! They're super tasty and go great with the fries!! I'll probably be back because I need to try the hot Cheetos flavor! I also recommend ordering in advance because it seems like it can up to an hour or 2 wait if you order there... Edit: I should also mention that I got a deal through a Yelp elite event!

    Dinner review. Quarantine delivery. 4 - Chicken Sandwich (Hotter Oil, Szechuan Spice, Sushi Mayo) Chicken Sandwich (Plain (No Oil), Plain (no spice), Special Sauce, Shredded Romaine, Bread & Butter Pickles) 3 - Rancher Fries (Ketchup, +SPG Sauce Trio) Overall, "I'm a fan." Future note: Stick with the special sauce.

    I just ate here and boy was that chicken sandwich a big boy. I ordered the Szetchy hot sandwich with rancher fries. Let's start out with the sandwich, that thing was HUGE. My boyfriends and I shared it and it was more than enough. The chicken had a good flavor and the bread combination was great. It came with a hot oil on top and I personally thought that was too much, I would probably skip it next time. Texture wise it was great, not too crunchy, not soggy, perfectly done. I would definitely recommend. As for the fries, these were a miss for me. I got the rancher fries and they were a bit too salty for me. I think I would skipped the flavored fries and go for simple fries next time. Portion was more than enough for 2. -1 star for saltiness. All in all I would return if I ever was craving a chicken sandwich again.

    Hetchy Hots sandwiches are huge! The chicken is hot, crispy, and juicy. Everyone loves that, right? Our favorite was the Rancher Dancher because it has the right amount of spiciness and also the ranch gave a good taste. If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and order now! You can order online and then pick it up! They practice COVID protocols seriously.

    There are few things more enjoyable for me than biting into a hot, crunchy, juicy fried chicken thigh. Imagine my joy when I got a trio of fried chicken sandwiches delivered to my door. These loaded sandwiches traveled surprisingly well - the filling was still crunchy (even the hot cheetos), intact, and the buns were fluffy. Initially the buns seemed big, but when I saw how generously large the chicken thighs were the ratios worked. Of the three I tried, I liked the flavor of the Rancher Dancher the most thanks to the pickled onions and ranch powder. The buns were also the most buttery on that one. The Hetch Calabria had awesome sweet and sour vinegar tang from the mama lil's peppers and the bright pickles. Though the chicken itself on this one was a little dry. The Hetchy's Hot with hot cheetos was good, but I was hoping for way more heat on the breading itself. The heat came mostly from the hot cheetos and jalapeños. Overall, these were some of the better fried chicken sandwiches I've had in the Bay. Thanks Hetchy's Hots for providing me with some hot quarantine action!

    My best friend loves chicken sandwiches so we love trying out new chicken sandwich places in the Bay Area. I came across Hetchy's Hots while searching for a spot to try. This is an online order location only so I placed my order online prior to visiting the store. It was nice because there is no wait. The location is not marked so you could easily miss it. There are a few parking spots right in front and you don't need to stay long. Upon arrival, I just went to the window and told them my order and name and my order was handed to me in a bag. The sandwiches were so good! They do not skimp out on the chicken here. The chicken was so flavorful and crispy!! I got the rancher dancher , Hetch Calabria, and Hetchys hot. My favorite was the Hetchys hot for sure but all of the sandwiches were so good and flavorful that you could not go wrong with any of them. One sandwich was so much that I was full off half of one. I loved all the picked veggies in each of the sandwiches and the addition of hot Cheetos in the Hetchys hot was interesting but good! I also got an order of the fries and it was a good portion to share! So yummy and well seasoned too! I would definitely come back for another sandwich! So yummy!

    COVID-19 Takeout: Hetch Calabria w/ calabrian spice, bb pickles, mama lil's peppers, lemon aioli | $13.50

    I love a good burn. That warm tingling feeling in my mouth that makes my face flush and my snot run. It hurts going in...and out but it's so addictive. Given that it's so hard to get TP these days, I'm going to guess that most people love spicy foods and a good burn too. From the owners of Square Pie Guys, Hetchy's Hots is their spin-off selling Hot Chicken Sandwiches, grand opening today. They're offering their Hot Chicken Sandwiches for takeout and delivery through DoorDash and Caviar. No phone or in-person orders. Pick-up is at Square Pie Guys - what a great way to utilize their current space while offering something new to us hangry folks on lockdown! Simple menu with five sandwiches ($12.50-$13.50): Hetchy's Hot (w/ Flamin' hot cheetos), El Hetcharacha (taco spice), Hetch Calabria (calabrian spice), Szetchy Hot (szechuan spice), and Rancher Dancher (ranch powder). Part of the proceeds goes to hospital workers, front line service workers, and hospitality employees. I placed my takeout order on DoorDash in the morning and the earliest pick-up time was 30 minutes after the 11:30 AM opening. Easy pickup - grab your order at the table at the entrance. I ordered the Hetch Calabria w/ calabrian spice, bb pickles, mama lil's peppers, lemon aioli ($13.50) and enjoyed it ASAP in the car. Sandwiched between a sturdy bun, the fried chicken thighs (two) is hot and juicy with a crackly crunch. It's smothered in a housemade chili oil and dusted with Calabrian spice for two layers of hotness (medium heat). Well, three layers with the topping of chopped peppers adding a slightly sweet, smoky heat. The pickles cut through the richness while the lemon aioli gave a nice cooling acidic bite. Solid hot chicken sandwich, though my preference would be for a softer brioche bun. A sturdier bun was probably chosen for delivery purposes. Props to the staff for the great service and taking safety precautions seriously. Since it's day one, the wait was longer than quoted and the kind, apologetic staff (young guy with black hair) offered to buy coffee from Saint Frank's next door for customers waiting. Also, service was declined for customers not wearing the required masks. I'm tired of seeing inconsiderate people without masks on in essential businesses so huge kudos for that! I wish all business owners followed the same protocol. Overall, Hetchy's Hot is serving some deliciously hot chicken sandwiches with a good cause. If you're looking for a good burn, give Hetchy's Hots a try!

    Szetchy Fries
    Laura J.

    Ordered the Rancher Dancher with a side of Szetchy Fries through DoorDash. Only thing to keep in mind if you're ordering online is that the bottom bun gets soggy from the sauce by the time it gets to your place. The chicken in the sandwich is definitely the biggest I've ever seen and looked even bigger in person than in pictures. The chicken was juicy and nicely fried. However, there are weird spots of tendons or fats around the edges of the chicken making it a little bit hard to chew/tear off. I wish there were more of their pickled onions or special sauce in the sandwich in order to balance out the saltiness of the chicken. I think this is specific to the Rancher Dancher, but the seasoning on the chicken is too salty, especially around the outer fried edges of the chicken. Over time the saltiness is very apparent, making it hard to continue eating the sandwich without reaching for water every few bites. I like the texture and the way the fries were. The seasoning was a bit of a miss for me, wish it was less salty and a bit more spicy. But with ketchup, the saltiness balanced out well with the sweetness.

    I gotta say... this place is mighty tasty... Fried chicken quality: top notch Size of sammy: definitely a double hander Flavor: delicious, even though i ordered non spicy French fries: addictive and salty So if youre looking for an upgrade in chicken sammy wars i would definitely come here. Chicken was juicy and was with white meat and dark meat. Really liked the customizations they offer and their sliced pickles are definitely a necessary topping

    Hetchy's Hots is definitely one of the best fried chicken sandwiches in SF! These are brought to you by the same owners as Square Pie Guys (and also in the same kitchen) for takeout and delivery. I got to try the Hetchy's Hot, the Rancher Dancher, and El Hetcharacha. My favorite was the Rancher Dancher because I love ranch, and the pickled onions were so good too! The chicken was super crunchy (even after a delivery), hot, and juicy & tender on the inside. The buns were super soft and buttery and went well wih the extra crunchy chicken. The seasonings for each sandwich were on point, and they don't skimp on portions at all! I dream about this fried chicken sandwich now and I can't wait to have it again!! Best of all, 3% of the procees wil go to our hospitality employees, hospital workers, and other frontline employees!

    What a nice find! The meat was cooked perfectly tender/juicy and the exterior had a nice crunch. Flavors were spot on, but if I had to criticize anything it is not spicy. We ordered the hetchy hot and Calabria but barely got a tingle of spiciness. Prices are great and ordering was easy. Pick up was good and spaced out. For San Francisco this is your best bet for a chicken sandwich.

    Andrew R.

    I wanted to like Hetchy's so much... but it just didn't do it for me. My first complaint would be the ordering. You MUST order online (can't order at the restaurant) and they don't allow any customization through any of the apps. I simply didn't want mayo, which caused so much chaos and confusion for something so simple. The actual chicken was decent, I liked the spices, but I think it's thigh meat which has tons of the gooey fatty spots, which I didn't like. The sandwich was huge and I think they need bigger buns lol. Overall definitely not worth $14 for a sandwich and the service could definitely be improved. The sandwiches definitely look delicious (especially with the flaming hot Cheetos ) but taste wasn't there for me. And to the owners: please just add a text box to your mobile order page that allows notes/instructions. Not everyone wants everything included in the sandwich.
