Hello all! We used to be regulars at Dave's Chicken, and it was one of our favorite spots for a quick meal. The chicken sandwiches were always yummy and satisfying, making it a go-to for us. But, everything changed after my girlfriend and I had a bad experience that left us with food poisoning. It was scary, and it completely lost our trust in the place. Now, every time we head to Century Theaters for a movie, we find ourselves reminiscing about our past visits to Dave's. We often consider giving it another chance, but my ... read more

Food is mid, to be honest. They don't actually season the chicken, it's all added after frying it. And if you get it with no spice, that also means no seasoning. It just tastes like boring fried chicken with no flavor, but if you get it with spice then it's just this overwhelming amount of salt and paprika that's not enjoyable at all. The sauce does basically all the heavy lifting, and while it's good, shouldn't be the entire flavor profile of a food. If they sold just the sauce in stores or something I'd get that, but the f... read more

Tried Dave's Hot after watching a movie Nextdoor. This was our first time eating here. We ordered 2 number # 3 meals which included 1 tender, 1 slider with fries, pickles and sauce. The fountain drinks were extra. Pros: very clean restaurant. Service is fast and efficient. Food: Too expensive for what it is. The 2 orders plus 2 fountain drinks tax and tip came to $48! (We would have been better off going to Texas Roadhouse). Fries and pickles were good tasting The chicken tasted just ok and was salty. We ate the slider a... read more

I like the decor. The chicken wasn't crispy and the medium spice was bland. Not coming back. Hot boys in hayward is better. I use Hatti B's Nashville as my standard for hot chicken.

Second time ordering on DoorDash food arrives without the sauce and less missing ingredient. When we complain to DoorDash they will say sorry and credit you $5 back that's not the point though. People who pays extra on delivery deserve to get good service and food quality but no. I m so upset I feel like driving to this location and have a real talk with these guys about how frustrating this is for customers. Awful 

Business response:

That’s definitely frustrating, and we hear you. If anything’s ever missing from your order, we’d love to make it right—next time, feel free to reach out directly so we can help.

Idk what's going on. First the prices when up nearly 18 for a meal, no drink. Now the chicken looks sad and the fries, skimpy. Used to be a nice amount. Dave's please pick your restaurant back up. We visit at least weekly but are now disappointed. 

Business response:

A 3-star experience means we're on our way, but not quite there. We'd like to go the extra mile for you. Drop us a line at http://dhcfeedback.com, and let's see how we can make your next visit a five-star one

I gave this place 2 tries hoping the first was just a bad day. Both times the chicken had no flavor. The seasoning wasn't there, the pickles were dry and the fries were undercooked. The customer service was good though hence the 2 stars. 

Business response:

We're truly sorry to see that we didn't live up to expectations. We're hoping for a chance to make it up to you. Would you mind reaching out to us at http://dhcfeedback.com? We're looking forward to the opportunity to turn your experience around
