Tustin just gained a new spice level in its personality. Dave's Hot Chicken didn't just open a restaurant -- it opened a temperature setting for the city. The first bite lets you know immediately this isn't fast food chicken... this is "pause the conversation and look at the sandwich" chicken. Crispy outside, juicy inside, and the heat actually has flavor instead of just trying to win a toughness contest. You can feel the seasoning working in layers instead of a single blast of fire. And the fries? Somehow they understood ... read more

Although last nights order didn't hit and smack like Dave's usually does, I have to give them credit for being one of the best accessible hot chicken / fried chicken spots in the game!!! I'm glad this location is close to my new apartment so I don't have to drive all the way to Bristol in Stabba Ana all the time. Also, the hours here are clutch, some are 1am some are 3 am. I can't wait to some day try reaper although I know it'll destroy my intestines. Cheers! Haha

I had an amazing experience with placing my order and getting my food quickly. It was super fresh and juicy. I got the extra hot slider without pickles.

I went to Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time and was really impressed. The place was clean, organized, and had a good energy. The staff were friendly across the board, but Evelyn stood out the most. She helped me with my order, answered questions, and made sure everything was just right. She was patient, polite, and genuinely pleasant to talk to. The chicken came out hot, spicy, juicy, and fresh. Between the great food, the excellent service, and how well they run the place, I can see why people like coming here. I will ... read more
