First time here, waited alone in the front for like 6 minutes without anyone greeting me, no problem, they are probably busy. I asked for a rec for food as I was hungry and they recommended the 10 pc vs a slider. I got my food and was short a nugget and one nugget looked like a deep fried piece of chicken skin. I brought it to their attention thinking they would just replace it and they brought the manager over and he told me that is just the way it is. After I stood there for a moment in disbelief I brought up the missing n... read more

TDLR: What happens when you get bought out by private equity. Please read. Dave's hot chicken has been a staple in pacific beach since its opening.

But when I'm taking a bite, I'm either breathing in the seasoning and coughing or can't tasting it at a... read more

Slower than snail service. Waited forever for my combo meal. This place lacks efficiency, and needs more workers working the food prep line for to go orders. Horrible. I could've gone anywhere else and had my food twice as fast. The workers seem confused and don't know how to multitask.

whichever godless bastard handed my poor sweet mother a 20 pound bag of unseasoned cauliflower, expect a burning cross on your front lawn tonight.

I've had good experiences at other Dave's Hot Chickens at other locations but this was not it. The customer service was poor, we were not greeted and the worker looked like they didn't even want to be there. The service was also slow and when I was ordering it seemed like they didn't know what I was ordering. I had to repeat myself multiple times even though it was a combo option. After waiting almost 30 minutes for my order, I opened the box and there was a long hair in it. The kitchen staff all had hair nets but the peop... read more

The food was good. The place was very dirty. We sat outside and the sidewalk was grease from their restaurant. They need to power wash the sidewalk and seating area outside. Clean the floor and the bathrooms. You should charge your name to dirty Dave's chicken . Clean the place
