I was excited to try Dave's Hot Chicken, Indio, but now having tried it, seriously, I don't understand the buzz. The Tenders (alone, $4.25, and on a Slider, $6.25) were cylindrical, not flat, unsuited for soft hamburger buns, barely seasoned, and messy / greasy. (IMHO, hoagie rolls would have been much better.) The pickles were good. The Kale Slaw on the Slider could have been great, if the Kale Slaw had been seasoned. As it was, only added crunch and moisture. The dipping sauces were really good. I liked the temperature, ... read more

I ordered a number one on there menu, when I went home and went to eat my food as I was eating one of the pieces of bread I discovered mold on the crust of the bread. Im beyond disappointed, not to mention this is my first impression of this restaurant.

My food was cold. Not spicy at all. I expected more but go so much less. I will not eat at this place again...

I just went in to check on the menu and it's one of those places where there are no chicken bones to be found anywhere!! I like to chew the bone

The main store manager is so rude! Her attitude in general was horrible. I ordered at the kiosk and kept insisting on taking my order. I get it's part of her job but she kept insisting to the point I felt uncomfortable to even order at the store anymore. Then I asked for extra Dave's sauces and she literally threw them at me while smiling. I thought she'd quit insisting but she came back to table and stared at me while chewing my slider and proceeded to ask for any condiments I politely declined but she didn't even smile bac... read more

Food is horrible! The chicken has no flavor even with the spice on it, you can tell they don't put any salt on it. The fries has the same spice as chicken so everything is one noted so for the price of the food, not worth it!

It's okay; not impressed or wowed by the chicken. I fail to see how this place got best fried chicken award in the desert. Place was pretty empty. I will not be back as I'm not paying 20 bucks for two pieces of chicken, fries and a drink. 

Business response:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It’s clear we need to do better. If you could get in touch with us at http://dhcfeedback.com, we'd welcome the chance to make it up to you.
