This is the Mothership. The origin story.
Located on San Pablo Ave, just steps from the legendary Fox Theater and the heart of Uptown, this is where Oakland Hot Chicken began. The vibe here is gritty, loud, and bursting with creative energy.
We’re not just serving fried chicken; we love to bring the community out for events, music and even skate shows. If you are looking for the best chicken restaurant in Oakland try World Famous Hotboys, you will not regret tasting our hot chicken. Whether you’re fueling up before a show or ending a late night out (we’re open until 2am on Friday and Saturday), this flagship location serves up the raw, unfiltered essence of Oakland hot chicken.
