I've eaten here a few times. The food is delicious snd the employees are patient and helpful. It takes 10-15 minutes to freshly make your food to order so try to order ahead I've always gotten mine to go.

I had the 2 slider combo (added cheese) and medium spice level. Food came out fairly quick. Chicken was hot and very juicy and for me the medium was perfect spice level. They also season the fries and I love that they serve the crinkly fries. The slaw on the slider added the perfect crunch! I will definitely be coming back here again.

In terms of the actual spice, I felt like hot was not enough to satisfy me. I... read more

I was over the moon when I saw Dave's opening in my area. As a double bonus, it replaced Togo's, which I never liked anyway! I wrote extensively about the Dave's in Santa Ana, off of Bristol. All the goodness applies here as well, so I'll try not to be too repetitive. A while back, I made a weekly trip to try a different Nashville hot chicken joint and reviewed as many as I could. Many were good, a few were meh, and in the end Dave's came out on top. I don't mind a visit to Jay Birds or Hotties (even if just for the panca... read more

I LOVE me some Dave's and was sooo happy to see one open in my hometown of Tustin! Now I can get my fix whenever I feel the craving coming! I popped by the new location opening weekend and everything was running like a well oiled machine! The food came out promptly, lots of smiles from staff and everything tasted as yummy as it always has! Definitely a bit win for Tustin!

I would 100% recommend you this Dave's Hot Chicken location. The food was spot on and hit the spot. I just came back from a workout and it was just the right meal full of protein.
