Dave's Hot Chicken never fails to serve delicious and fresh food!! I absolutely love the aesthetic of the restaurant, they have both indoor AND outdoor dining perfect for our crazy Central Coast weather The service is the best part, they have a friendly staff and a great, quickly service.

My favorite item from here has got to be the strawberry shake, it... read more

Super good sliders & fries and I looove the dave's sauce! Dave's has been a staple night out food spot for me & my friends the last few months, and most of the time we come in, Elizabeth is working. She's usually always smiling and ready to help us and answer any questions, even if it's really busy. She also cracks a few jokes with us sometimes, and it always makes us smile. She has a very kind and positive energy and we always appreciate her & all the other nice workers! 

Business response:

Go Elizabeth! Thanks fo the love and support Minh!
