this location gets Five for: - location - decor - patio - perfect carb / syrup ratio on sodas As for the food, they were rushing from the onslaught of hungry foodies that wanted the free stickers and fresh eats, so i get that. Taste: The medium spice sliders were good, but just a tad salty. Still, food was as tender and tasty as was expected. Presentation was a little sloppy, but that's a work in progress. I'll wait a few weeks for them to get their groove on before i start really critiquing then food. Tustin-ite's ju... read more

ITS FINALLY HERE!! We've been anticipating the opening ever since we saw it getting built... finally, the day had come! Menu consists of 3 "main" orders: chicken tenders, 2 sliders, or 1 slider & 1 tender. Sides include: fries, Mac n cheese, slaw, etc. You can pick your spiciness level.. reaper (hottest) to none (no hot). Mild was waaaaaaaaaaay to hot for me, BUT SO GOOD. It was burning my mouth but I kept wanting more. Definitely worth the wait!!!

Yes I know, ANOTHER one of these chicken places popping up like wildfire or pesky weeds however you want to look at it. Although oops, now that I'm thinking about this during the light of day, both these analogies are negative, especially in So. Cal, but you get what I mean. I saw that it was the grand opening and saw photos of rubber chicken key chains posted on yelp so we wanted to get in on that. Of course, when I finally got in, they were all out, booo. We normally don't eat at these places too often because 1. we a... read more

Came by and the chicken is good! The hot and extra hot are perfect amount of spice and the sauce is tasty. Only downfall is the Mac n cheese, wish it was home made. Will be coming back though!

Got to try it on its Grand Opening! First timer here and it was pretty good. Some pieces where way smaller than other. The reaper was our favorite followed by mild. The reaper got hubby sweating but in a yum way. Bread and pickles are ok Te sauce was awesome! Love the free swag!! Lol

Tuesday night around 9pm came here ordered 2 slides to go and when I was picking up my order she asked if you needed anything I just told her give me some Dave sauce she said oh we give you 2 free after 2 we charge the customer and they charged me for an extra 2 sauce I told her I'll take the extra sauce. Another branch near angel stadium Anaheim . Every time I go there, no one charges me extra.

When I first had Dave's I thought it was delicious well seasoned and sloppy but quality. It's been about a year and a half since the last time I had it. I decided to order it for my family through the Dave's Hot Chicken app. - Food pickup 2:24 - arrived at 2:30 ( 2) 2slider combo - (L) M&M chocolate Shake - (L) Oreo vanilla Shake - (2) Orange creamsicle drink - (L) drink - $70 including Tax. Picking up my food was a breeze and left home. I was splitting the two shakes into four cups so my kids can share. Both shakes were c... read more

Had a craving for a spicy chicken sandwich and this one was quite disappointing. It's definitely not the chicken sandwich for me. If you like it, great, but it wasn't for me. Service was ok. Plenty of parking and easy to find.
