World Famous Hotboys Chicken -Food CA (Near Novato)

5 /5 Sarah Stierch: Hands down one of the best fried chicken sandwiches Ive ever had. Huge and messy as heck, but worth every napkin. Great sauce and slaw. Lived up to the Hotboys hype! Mine was medium spice and it was decent. I have a high heat tolerance so it was mild but very tasty. Fries have a Cajun-style seasoning on them and are krinkle cut. Tasty, too. My plate was served with an extra side of secret sauce for dipping. When you order a sandwich you get your choice of a side - I had the fries - but I also added a side of chicken etouffe and it was really delicious. I also love the theming - 80s and 90s babies will really like it, as well fans of Meow Wolf. I ordered at the counter, but one couple came in after me and sat down and ordered a their table. This is now my favorite spicy fried chicken sandwich next to the non-spicy fried chicken sandwich at Belfare in Petaluma. Ill be back for sure!!

5 /5 Casey Lauer: I’ve been to this World Famous Hotboys Chicken a few times, and let me tell you, it’s a must-try! The staff is super friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. They serve huge portions, so you can bring home enough for a late-night snack. The menu is huge and has something for everyone. My friends got the Mac & Cheese and the Waffle, and they both loved them. The waffle smelled incredible! I highly recommend Hotboys Chicken, whether you’re a Nashville hot chicken fan or you’ve never tried it before. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

4 /5 JT Taylor: Good chicken sandwiches with cole slaw and seasoned waffle cut fries, with the option to forego the sandwich and just get chicken strips with sides. Its a small menu where the major choice is the level of spice you choose. Food is consistent, comes out fresh from the kitchen with a roughly 5 minute wait, and the flavors and textures are all there. The atmosphere is very casual with a mix of memorabilia from the 1960s up to the 1990s, with arcade cabinets at the entrance and a walk up counter to place your order.

5 /5 Gordon M.: I had been looking for some soul food near the hotel and the internet gods served me up this place like a hundred feet away. Small place with plenty of seating with a lot of character. Bright colors, some retro games, and a playlist the folks (and I) that work there can dig. I got the Mac n cheese loaded baked potato, which isnt always listed on the menu in case they run out of potatoes. It was so indulgently rich, cheesy, creamy, tangy, and savory. God dang it wa good l. I threw some pickles on the side one some of it too. Dont sleep on this. I also got the classic full chicken sandwich. I love the fact they use thighs instead of breast as that dark/light meat mix make the sandwich so much richer and textured. The topping balance was excellent and cut into the heat with some acid and creaminess. The heat system is unique to them just like some of the dishes themselves. I got medium, and they emphasize medium is HOT not like all caps crazy hot, but its easily as hot as if not hotter than Daves or other large chains Hot. I personally think Hotboys medium is hotter than Daves hot level, and because I keep drawing the comparison, its also just way better than Daves overall (and Daves aint bad). I was very happy with the medium heat but could not handle more. If I come back I may even bump down a level. Bottomless fountain drinks, dope. Please go here. Its friggin good.
