We were casually eating when all of a suddenly we seen a roach crawl towards us on the wall our table was next too. We told a worker there was a roach and he didn't even try to kill it or apologize.

Came yesterday 7/26 at around 1:30am to pick up an online order we placed beforehand and was greeted with an already annoyed female employee when we asked if we could redeem a free drink because we weren't able to online. We waited around 5 minutes for our order and decided to dine in. There was also another party about to finish up when we started, when one of the other employees turned off all the lights and locked the doors. Their website says they close dine-in at 2:00am when they started closing at 1:35am while we were... read more

Andrea and her closing crew denied us to order 15 minutes before closing. Not only us but 10 other people standing outside. When I asked for their names they did not want to give me their names. I used to work for a fast food chain and name tags were REQUIRED to be worn at all times when working. These fast food workers are getting lazy 15 minutes before closing time and they don't care. If I were management I would take action. You lost 10 customers orders and money. I hope Andrea and the closing group get reprimanded. ... read more

Came 20 minutes before closing and they refused my service. Terrible management and the service too I was literally ignored by the staff which are just children really. As someone who's been going to Dave's since a stand in LA. Very disappointed and will no longer be binging my family to this establishment.

I used to love Dave's Hot Chicken because the seasoning had the perfect balance of heat and flavor. But lately my experience has really changed, especially during night shifts. The last two times I visited in the evening the chicken was way too heavily seasoned so much spice that it overpowered everything else and made it hard to enjoy. It's disappointing because it wasn't always like this; daytime visits have been fine, but something seems off at night. I'm not sure if they changed their recipe or if it's just inconsistency... read more

Business response:

Appreciate the honest feedback! Sounds like something might be off with the seasoning at night, and that’s definitely not what we want. We’ll look into it—hope you’ll give us another try!

Food is good but the wait is ridiculous. Ordered from the kiosk machine and waited 20 min on a slow night with not many people inside. Had to go to the counter to ask about my food to which they said it will be right out. Several people who ordered before me got their food first. Don't order at the kiosk cause apparently they don't check it and you'll be waiting a while. Don't go here if you're in a rush. 

Business response:

We’re sorry to hear about the long wait and the frustration with the kiosk orders. This isn’t the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll address this with the team to ensure better efficiency. Please visit dhcfeedback.com so we can follow up and make this right for you.
