The food wasn't the best, but the environment was OK! What I recommend eating here, I guess.

This review is for the Top Loaded milkshake (Oreo) and Paul, not a full chicken experience, so don't come at me, Yelpers. It was after 10pm and my husband and I were on the road, needing to attend to a family member who had been hospitalized. I needed a beverage, but the Target in the plaza was closing, and it looked like a long wait to checkout there. We saw that Dave's was still open, so ran over to get a fountain beverage.

I went here last night with my friend and the customer service was so nice, the worker that helped us was so sweet. However the mac n cheese that I got was very salty and I wasn't able to continue eating it because it was straight up salt. Hopefully that changes!!

This location seems to take pride in the way they prepare their food. They are awesome! If you haven't gone, you must. The fries were spot on. The sliders were money! I dropped in on this location one time and I will always drop in when I am in the neighborhood. There are many Dave's Hot chicken around, but this one is exceptional. Check them out. I took the food all the way home in the South Bay, I popped the lid of the container and it made it all the way home and it was still crispy!

5 stars for the owner Paul - great customer service! For California, Dave's Hot Chicken is up there! I used to live in Nashville and the flavors here are on point. I always get the tenders and fries, it never misses! I'm a wimp when it comes to spice. I got the mild and it already had a kick. My boyfriend got one medium and one hot tender, he was sweatinnn on that hot one. We usually order DoorDash. Love this place and we'll definitely be back!

My friend and I were here last night at midnight, we had the best service and experience. Paul, the cashier was the absolute nicest person we have ever met and was extremely accommodating. We do have a closer Dave's Hot Chicken location but we will be making all future drives just for Paul. The food was good and we have no complains.
