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!

Hands down one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've 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. I'll be back for sure!!

Retro vibe, reminds me of my childhood! Bright, fun, and the staff was SO SWEET!!! The Etouffee was INCREDIBLE!!! It's so hard for me to go to more southern places because of my shellfish allergy. This spot does NOT serve shrimp so it's completely safe to eat for those with allergies to it!!!! 10/10 this is going to be my new favorite!!!

The reviews said it was hot so I played it safe and went with the medium-plus. I love hot chicken and OMG this one was hotter than I was expecting. So good. The space is great and has a free arcade game to play while you wait. My son loved playing the Simpsons bowling game.

I’m writing this review because I’m eating the etouffee (creole chicken stew) and it’s so so good. I do wish the portion was a little bigger but it’s a solid bowl. Served with rice. Surprised to find this at a fried chicken place… but glad I did! Will be back for it. The picture is once I transferred it to the bowl.
