Several years ago I tried the Hotboys location in Oakland and I gave them 3 stars because I felt…read morelike the wings were heavily battered. Today I was driving through Novato and craving spicy fried chicken. I see most people get the sando from here but I like to just stick to the chicken and not let the bread get in the way! Ordered 2 half chicken light only, which means the wing + breast and then another half chicken that includes the wing + breast + leg + thigh = so altogether, both orders $54.62 It seems expensive considering a whole raw chicken is about $5 but they do some voodoo magic to their fried chicken at Hotboys -- the seasoning is delicious, batter is crispy, and meat inside is still juicy -- the breast meat goes well dipped in their special sauce and they bagged plenty for me! Service was excellent -- very friendly and accommodating! The music is hyped up so it can be a little loud. Bathrooms were very clean. I thoroughly enjoyed digging into my half chicken with my hands. The wait is about 20 minutes but it's not a problem to wait for good chicken! It came out so hot that I was willing to burn my fingers a little LOL

Wow fantastic!

It was a slight detour from where I was but it was work the drive here as I found Rustic Bakery right next door that my friend told me about the had good pastries. On their website, They use 100% halal chicken, peanut oil, wheat and soy products. I ordered the Chicken Sandwich Combo which is The World Famous Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich and your choice of side. This restaurant is located around the bay area like Oakland, Walnut Creek, Sacramento & Hayward or our locations in Carmel Indiana & Indianapolis. I love the hip looking decor. Something everyone can be surprised with and makes a great conversation starter like aliens and I used to have toy like that growing up. lol good meal combo I got with mild chicken sandwich with fries and a drink was very enjoyable and I would be more than happy to come back to World Famous Hotboys. I was impressed and it was yummy in my tummy.

Yelped it real quick and saw it had one bad review... But dude didn't even eat the chicken. Figured I needed to try this for myself. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Grabbed a drumstick and took a bite and could taste the juices running out. If you're hungry and in a pinch, this chicken will definitely satisfy those cravings. 8 pieces went for about 12 bucks.

It's great that they have outdoor seating so you can get some sunshine on the nice days. Also, they never seem to be too busy/ service is always quick. My go to is always the Big Star Sandwich.

It was really easy and the food came out fast! The inside had plenty of seating. I opted for one of their salads and my partner got a sandwich and fries. The service size of my salad was great and well worth the money. I really enjoyed the dressing that came with it. The chicken was crispy and the toppings tasted fresh. My partner really enjoyed his sandwich and especially loved how crispy the chicken was. We both shared the fried which were pretty good. I forgot my purse and didn't realize until about 20 minutes after we had left. I called the restaurant and they were able to locate my purse and safely store it for me. I was so grateful to them for getting it back safely! Overall, the food was good and service was excellent!

The SO always mentioned wanting to stop by Dave's Hot Chicken when go to Costco. We finally decided…read moreto stop last week. We ordered one tender and two 10-piece bites - all hot. They were indeed spicy hot, but I was disappointed that the heat came from being sprinkled with chili power which resulted in a very uneven result. Some bites were overly hot and others were blah. All of our chicken was greasy. (Yes, I know it is fried chicken but our's seemed like the oil wasn't hot enough so the batter absorbed a lot of oil.) Beyond the grease, the chicken was incredibly salty. As it turns out, one tender has 50% of what should be your day's intake of sodium. The service was fine. We received our food in an acceptable amount of time. I'm not sure what they were going for in the dining area. It was kind of institutionalized graffiti. Now that I've been there once, I never have to go back.

The combo was dusted with a magic blend of spices. It was the perfect find for me! On top of that, the angel who works the counter shared with me the history of the owners and what he learned from working in a multicultural workplace.

While the location itself is tiny, the menu is enormous and every flavor packs a huge punch.

They will bring you your drinks and food. It helps to know this so that there are no misunderstandings or unpleasant experiences that get in the way of enjoying your food and the casual vibe. Fortunately for me, I already know this. But I didn't know about this on my first visit. This time I tried the falafel. It was a different experience than I'm used to. It was served as an open faced sandwich, a different take on a salad presentation. I found that it was a fun experience. You taste every bite that way, and you can sop up the excellent hummus with the pita bread. The staff is always friendly here, and the vibe is easy going casual with excellent food.

Side Street Kitchen had such high reviews we were really excited to sit down and enjoy a meal…read more We walked up and stood in line, when another customer came up and asked if the people ahead of us had ordered. We said no, we're just waiting in line. They walked around us and went inside. The hostesses came out and speaks only to the people directly in front of us. I heard, "you're in the wrong area, you can order inside." Neither my husband or I are acknowledged, given an eta, or menus. So we wait for the people ahead of us to move and they do nothing but look at their menus. We wait a bit more, nothing. So we walk up to the menu on the wall to decide what we want. The people are still standing there, so we assume they don't know what they want yet and go inside to order. The hostess walks up to us and anxiously tells us there's a line. I let her know we were in it and the people in front of us weren't moving. She tells us to wait outside, and again no eta or menus are given to us. So we go back to our spot in line and look at all the empty tables and decide that the system feels disorganized and there appears to be only one waitress for 10+ tables. After waiting a bit more, we leave. At the end of the day, Side Street could have had proper signage for the line. The hostess could have addressed everyone and handed out menus. The restaurant could have even gone fancy and had an ordering tablet. But as it currently stands, Side Street Kitchen's service isn't great and its structure needs some work, so we don't see ourselves returning.
