Love Burn

One of the best chicken sandwiches, I ever had. I got the medium spice level with hot honey.The chicken had a great level of spiciness, super crispy from the outside and very moist from the inside. The portion size is huge, good enough for 2 meals.With the addition of hot honey, it takes you to a different world of food bliss.We also got fries and coleslaw. Both were nice and tasty but portions were small and can be better for those too as the sandwich.

We like their food a lot, but the last few visits have had the problem of nearly burned breading. Maybe the oil is too hot? Or dirty? Or a change to the dredge/breading?Anyway, it's still good. But, it's not the most appealing to get chicken the color of chocolate brownie with a hint of char from the fryer.

The restaurant is inside a bowling alley which actually a good sign, since many food places inside of an alley have some good food. This place keeps that feeling going. We came for the wings, and they delivered some crispy spicy wings! As we aged, we are now wusses when it comes to spice levels, and their first level spicy, had more than enough kick to it, I would not even fathom what the level 4 and 5 would be like. Definitely is a place that you should try.The food takes a while to come, but then you know it's freshly fried. Seating is super limited when the alley is closed.

My partner was wanting to try this so we were excited to see it on the delivery app. It took 1.5 hours to be delivered but that's on the delivery app not Love Burn. Even after all the time it was realllly good. We got the hot chicken sandwiches (level 1 for me and level 2 for my partner). I kind of wish there was a spicy level between the two since I couldn't really taste the spice in level 1 but level 2 definitely had a noticeable slow burn. The chicken piece was so big they included a chicken tender with the sandwich on the side. We got two sides of fries and these sides were big we could have shared one side!

Ordered food from Love Burn wow bowling with some friends. Love Burn is located inside Hometown Bowl And can be ordered a couple different different ways, including to go, dine in as they have a couple chairs, or during bowling if the alleys are open. We were bowling and it was very easy to walk right over to the restaurant and order through a kiosk, which will then alert your phone when the order is ready.I've always enjoyed Love Burn and think that they fry their chicken incredibly well. I typically opt for a chicken sandwich, but this time I ordered tenders with onion rings. The chicken for tenders were fried perfectly with a golden crispy exterior and hot, juicy interior meat. Love Burn known for their spice with levels including spice to level four. I don't do spicy well, so I got no spice, But the chicken was still flavorful with regular seasoning. The onion rings were crispy nicely with the house ranch. Definitely one of my favorite fried chicken spots the place I find to be a gem.

4.5 STARSDate: Saturday, June 24th, 2023Time: around 5:15pmParty of: 5What: snacksWhile drinking at the bar, my group decided to grab some food. Since Hometown Bowl has food vendors, we decided to check them out. I wasn't the one ordering from Love Burn, but I know we got at least a box of chicken wings.The wings were delish! Crispy and meaty. Personally, I would have loved to get them super spicy. Like sign a waiver, one night stand spicy. But no one else wanted to burn their mouth off, so we just got something in the middle. Tasted good with the sauces we got. Tho what's chicken wings without sauce?!Great spot to get your chicken on. Tho if I ever find myself back, I'm going for the maximum spice!REVIEW #3514

TLDR: they packed the to-go items well (vents in boxes to prevent steam degrading the chicken crunchiness), flavorful... I just wish there was an option for tenders without fries :( therefore, I'm taking one star awayLonger version:My BF and I were driving home from an afternoon in Mountain View, and even though we had eaten a few hours prior, bae was hungryyyy and we had been eyeing Love Burn for a while, so it made sense to give it a try before returning to the City. There is only street parking in the neighborhood OR on El Camino if you get lucky/wanna risk getting out of your car on that stretch of road. You enter the bowling alley and Love Burn is to the right, next to the bar, and has a kiosk for ordering and a small window for picking up orders. Easy enough! We considered grabbing a beer while we waited for our order - it was suuuuper dead aside from a birthday party at a few of the bowling lanes. Likely due to the torrential downpour outside, but we'll try to come by again for bowling on a lazy Sunday in the future.Boyfriend is a fan of spicy and considered getting the One Night Stand on his Hot Chicken Sandwich, but opted for Burning Love (level 3) instead of fussing with a waiver (and potential heartburn on a Monday). He liked the flavor and the spice level was definitely up there (I am trying to push my tolerance, but it was too much for me), but he'll take the time to sign the waiver next time we visit (and I will not be trying a bite, hahaha). Portion was huge, the chicken was much larger than the bun (see photo).I wanted chicken tenders, but didn't want fries, so opted for the Hot Leg & Thigh. I wanted to be brave, so got First Date (spice level 2), but next time will get Crush (level 1) because it was spicier than I commonly find enjoyable. I love my cholula, but in measured doses per bite... this was thoroughly sauced and therefore no break from the spice.All of our chicken was perfectly crispy, crunchy! Even though we had a 20+ min commute to get home and dig in. The slots in the to-go box is very clever - allowed the steam to escape and ensured the chicken didn't get mushy. Worth nothing the pickles served with orders spice level 2+ were also mostly spicy, less pickly. If you want a break from the spice, consider getting a side of cole slaw.What's interesting is there is no side option for fries. So if you want fries, at least according to the menu, you must get tendies. I didn't think to ask the employees if there was a secret work around, but why not just list them separetely on the public menu if it is possible? This is just... confusing to me. I feel like if I were at the bowling alley, I'd be more apt to get wings and fries for sharing at the lane... Love Burn: if you make an option for tendies without fries, I'd bring this review to 5 stars + I feel like you'd get a bit more customers.

We got the level 2 & 3 out of 4 spice levels on the sandwiches and signed the waiver and got the 4 on the wings, and an order for the churro fries with burnt caramel dip.The sandwiches were a good size, but not really any flavor except the spice. The Cole slaw didn't really have much flavor as well. I got the level 3 spice and it had some kick. It was just at that not enjoyable level and I can take very spicy food. The wings tho, I only ate one before I threw the rest away! Hahaha They were beyond spicy. I think I could have eaten all 6 if there was a prize award that was worth doing it. I def don't recommend it for anyone just trying to go viral as it's extremely spicy.

I won't complain on the size of the sandwich (which I finished in an instant). The chicken is flavorful, i just don't like the dripping oil towards the end of your sandwich... Level 2 is quite manageable, not too burning. Their churros is not worth trying, it was small (cut into french fry) & its not even crunchy. Limited parking & service may take a while. Noise level is high since this is a bowling arena, arcade & a bar.

It was the worst chicken sandwich I've ever had in my life. It was very greasy and had a chemical bitterness.There were no smiling faces.
