Shit is so Bussin. Don't listen to anyone that says it's overrated. Way better than canes and chick fil a. Best fried chicken in Tustin

Food didn't taste bad but I paid $15 for a combo and it doesn't even include a drink. This food joint doesn't meet the standards. I recommend Raising Canes or Chick-fil-A if you want good chicken at a value price. If Dave's lowers its prices a bit and includes a drink I may consider it again, but for now I'll stay away.

The food is great. The music is way too loud. If you want good food and a headache, this is your place. I promise, the music is so loud and terrible, you will be happy you left.

Wow...salty... way over seasoned... it's just too much to eat as it is like dumping a dry spice rub straight out of the jar into your mouth... I couldn't finish it as it was not good and both my kids didn't finish it either. Expensive and not worth the hype...fries were great... 

Business response:

Hey Jeff, I'm disappointed to hear the chicken was over seasoned. It is not supposed to taste like a salt bomb. Please check your private messages, as I have sent you one.

This place is the worst. First of all, asked for napkins and utensils on our order all they gave us was 1 napkin for the whole order and didn't even provide with utensils. Second of all, when I opened my tray and saw my tray of fries it seemed like nothing. I also took a picture of the meal with the one napkin. Third of all, the food was nothing what we were expecting, it was not tasty at all.

This chicken ain't so hot. I was surprised to see they are charging almost twice as much as chick Fil A or raising canes. I was willing to try and see what was so special. It wasn't. The chicken was dry and pieces were Small. Poor quality and and extremely poor value. Only thing that was good were the fries. 

Business response:

Hey Rich, Blah! I am so sorry!! We can do way better! Would you be willing to connect with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc so we can get a second chance at earning those extra stars? -Julie

Hello , Dave....I'm not sure how this chains are opening everywhere. We were so excited that it finally opens a store in Tustin. We ordered one slider and one tender with medium spicy. OMG, that was the most salty + over paprika fried chicken I have ever had. The sandwich is ok with pickles and sauce, the saltness didn't hit me yet. The bread is just ok, the sauce is nothing special, can't compete with canes chicken or chicken fill A at all. Then when i started to take a bite of the tender, full mouth of salt and paprika....... read more
