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.

I wrote a review about a bad experience I had at the Dave's Hot Chicken on Bristol Street in Santa Ana. The chicken was perfect but I was charged for an item that I didn't receive. After talking to the Manager I was told that the charge had been refunded to my card. When I checked my bank the full amount was showing in the pending status. I waited to see if the charge would post before I posted the review. I was immediately contacted by the owners who wanted to make things right. Today I saw that the credit was issued on the... read more

Where do I start?! This place is so amazing. The food is wonderful and I especially recommend the #2. This is the better alternative to chick-fil-a. The service was great, one of the workers, Paul was very helpful and friendly. We were greeted with a smile from the moment we came in through the door. The restaurant was super colorful and had cool designs on the wall. I would 100% go back and I recommend everybody reading this to try their food!
