I was craving fried chicken and decided to order DoorDash delivery from bb.q Chicken. I was excited…read moreto try this restaurant because of the positive ratings and feedback! It's a great location to check out whether you're eating in or getting takeout / delivery. Being a chain, I was looking forward to seeing how the quality of the food compares. First, I tried the onion rings and these are perfectly crispy and well-seasoned. The coating is not thick and still light, which holds onto the onion very well. Next, I tried the hot spicy whole chicken - the half portion. For the price and value, I really enjoyed it! The chicken pieces are all evenly coated in the sauce, which has a balance of both sweetness with a light kick to it. The breading of the chicken is also airy and not heavy at all. Despite the chicken being drenched in the sauce, I did not find the texture to become soggy at all. One pro tip is that if you have leftovers, I recommend popping them into the air fryer so that they remain crispy. I was able to try the wings of fire, which I was really hyped about. I was fully expecting the wings to be on a 'burning' spice level, but I was able to handle it! If you do have a lower spice tolerance, I would recommend using caution if you're trying it but for the spicy food lovers, it's not as extreme as I thought it would be because the sauce was also sweet. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it! Although it is advertised as having 8 wings total, I actually got an extra one so shout out to the workers! This completely exceeded my expectations - as one person, I even had leftovers and was able to make the food stretch into multiple meals. I'm so glad I finally got to try bb.q Chicken and I highly recommend checking it out if you're craving Korean fried chicken!

I love that they're open late on the weekends and I'm willing to make the trek out from SF just for their sando and fries. There is typically street parking (no lot) right in front of across the street. You can order at the front or through Toast to skip the line. There are plenty of seats (think elementary school outdoor seating) outside that fit 4 people. The best part of Hotboys is definitely the employees though. They're super friendly, especially our guy, Shy! Shy's the best :)

The food is great, my friends and I shared LA galbi ribs and a 8 piece chicken. One thing I loved was that you could get half and half of any number of fried chicken.

The food was promptly delivered and they checked on us every so often. I enjoyed the food quite a bit and would be back.

Been to Gus many times but this is my first time reviewing them…read more I usually get the 2 or 3 piece dark and it is delicious! It is crunchy on the outside and has a lot of meat on the inside. The beans and coleslaw are delicious as well. The beans were warm and tasty and the coleslaw were super fresh. They also provide hot sauce. If you want the honey mustard or ranch, it's an extra 50 cents each. Service has always been good. It is about a 20 minute wait for the food, but it's so worth cause it is yummy and fresh! There are a couple of tables inside to sit and eat at. Street parking.

I tried them months before they closed. I'm going to be brutally honest…read more.. 1. the mac n cheese was a huge letdown. For their prices, I was expecting something more close to soul food style mac n cheese (even a Popeyes' like version would've been okay enough). It felt like a boxed Velveeta, but dry/reheated with them hastily adding seasoning on top. 2. The fries were also a letdown. The seasoning was actually decent, but I could tell it was reheated. No crispness, but more of a limp, soft exterior. 3. Their chicken, plus the friendly service saved the review from being 1 stars. Out of everything on my platter, it was the only thing that actually tasted fresh & not reheated. The skin was crispy with a juicy interior. It had a spicy kick to it that wasn't too overbearing. Overall, I'd say their chicken is worth the price. It's the sides (from my experience) that could be better.

There's 4 tables and 4 window stool seats if you want to eat here/inside. You can order with staff at the counter or via their electric kiosk screen inside. Located between Peet's coffee and the Verizon store, around the corner from Trader Joe's and across the street from Arizmendi.

My eldest is a big chicken sandwich fan so we just had to make it happen. Needless to say he was happy. We came during their happy hour and got the donuts holes too! 10/10. My daughter even finished her food and she's a picky eater! The ordering process is a touch screen. There's 2 screens in case you don't know what you want and there's a line. (I tend to feel pressure if there's 1 kiosk.) The employees are incredibly kind. My son had a bunch of questions and they were glad to answer them.

I don't think it's as spicy because my spice tolerance is pretty high. The only thing is, is that sometimes the chicken could be a bit oily. Fries are good too. This time, I tried out the Apple Fritters and it was not bad. There's indoor seatings and a few outdoor seating. Service is quick and nice. I know I'll come here again in the future whenever I'm craving a fried chicken sandwich!

Our food came out pretty fast. Before our drinks did, surprisingly. :) The food was good. Nothing extraordinary, but honestly, about what you'd expect from a bar/cantina, maybe even a little above average. Solid food to have while you're hanging out and having drinks. The drinks were the highlight for us. Plenty of choices and a great variety on the menu. I ordered the Paloma, which was good! Refreshing, not overly sweet, and a solid drink overall. I'd recommend Xingones as a cool hangout spot. It's a solid place to go for a good happy hour after a regular day of work, grabbing drinks and food with friends, or hanging out with coworkers. The open space and atmosphere make it easy to sit around and hangout for a while. Plus, there's plenty of parking, which is always a win! Would come back, especially for drinks and happy hour.

It was hot and thick and juicy when it came out. The fries were decent, but likely just some standard frozen fries. The ranch was also really good, but $.50 each small sized cup. My biggest gripe was the service and the state of the restaurant. In the booth we sat in there was an electrical outlet is hanging out of the wall and the booths are in need of cleaning. We had to use the bathroom, and the soap was out. The staff member brought a new one, but didn't know how to install it so it just sat on top of paper towels. Not a huge deal but bruh, figure it out. The guy was nice enough, but just sat and watched his phone when no one was at counter. There was also another guy, maybe from the kitchen (?) hanging out behind the counter sometimes as well. All while tables needed wiping, the bus tub was FULL with dishes, or either of them could have tried to get the soap installed. If there was no one at counter or food to cook it was stand around and stare at our phones. It's just sad Just a subpar experience for as much as food costs these days. Train the staff to stay busy and know how to bus tables and clean. And if you ever order the BLT chicken sandwich make sure to ask for no BBQ sauce. Yuk.

The black sesame coconut cookie is super buttery and very strong tasting. I recommend a coffee, a dark coffee to go with it. The chicken was melt in your mouth tender. Hands down the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had my life. I used to go to Joinery in Sausalito for rotisserie chicken but not anymore. So good I think I'm willing to move to Temescal just to be close. I got the combo half chicken. It comes with one salad, one side and one sauce for the chicken. The chicken doesn't need any sauce because it's perfectly tasty as it is. However the pesto sauce is delightful. I loved the pesto sauce and highly recommend it. The Club Med salad had everything in it. I am biased because I eat Mediterranean. The Med salad had green olives and gigante beans in it. The beans were still warm. There were so many flavors in this salad. The sheep feta is so fresh in it. High quality. I also loved the roasted cauliflower which is a pain to make at home. It was melt in your mouth tender and goes really well with the lemon tahini sauce and olive oil. All this for $40 and $3 for the cookie. Tip is 18% minimum for the preset lowest option. The lady at the counter was so friendly and kind. The music was lively. All in all, just a super cool place to come eat for the best healthy and tasty food available in North Oakland. I'm coming back soon again!

We ordered the same thing as last time, the "combo #1." In this combo, we got: the crispy spicy salad, the sesame cauliflower, and the half bird with lemon tahini sauce.

I thought the cookie was super fun and different, it's kind of a mixture between a macaroon & a cookie. It has a nice balance of sweet and salty, as well. This is currently my favorite meal at the moment, and it never disappoints! This little counter service spot always has the best vibes, and I will keep coming back! :)
