Not like Nashville hot chicken. I know I am in the minority here, but I don't care for the flavor of the seasoning in the chicken and the fries. It tastes like taco meat seasoning mix, and not like Nashville hot chicken which I was thinking it would be. The overall quality of the food is good for sure but I just don't care for the seasoning mix that's in the chicken and fries. It reminds of the McCormick taco mix seasoning that my aunt uses on her ground beef, white people tacos. Other than that the fries are nice and crispy... read more

We door-dashed this order for a late night hotel snack. Their tenders are phenomenal and MASSIVE. Definitely worth the price. This is by far my favorite chicken restaurant. I usually get lite mild because I'm not too good with spice, but this is perfect for me. The only reason why it's not five stars is because on doordash there is no option for extra sauce. At the restaurant, this is not an issue because the employees are always willing to hook you up with sauce and honey. But if you're ordering from doordash, know that you... read more

I have been to Dave's hot chicken before at Fountain valley, but this was my first time coming to this location. Today, I decided to take my boyfriend here since I have always wanted to take him here and never got the chance to. Today, we got the Dave's #2 which consist of 2 sliders w/fries. My boyfriend got the burger with no spice and I got the lite mild. We both thought the burger was delicious, great flavor, and chicken is very smooth, crunchy, and moist. The fries were crunchy, smooth, and easy to bite. The pickles were... read more

Business response:

Thanks for the fantastic review, Diana! We’re thrilled you and your boyfriend enjoyed your visit—sounds like you nailed your order with the sliders and fries. Glad to hear the pickles were a hit (even if not for him)! It’s awesome to know you appreciated the friendly service and clean atmosphere, too. We’ll be here for your next trip to Anaheim!

Update: They resolved it! They did more than resolve things. I was honestly shocked at the sense of urgency and determination that I was met with upon management learning about the debacle that occurred during our previous interaction. I only came back hoping to have had things made right but was accommodated far beyond expectation on both the management and corporate level. I am not sure that I believe in a five star update, but given the effort that I witnessed it is only appropriate to leave just that. Thank you for ever... read more

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m so sorry to hear about the frustration and disappointment you faced during your visit. Waiting that long—especially when you arrived early and others were served before you—is absolutely not the experience we want for our guests. We appreciate your understanding of the pressure the team may have been under, but that doesn’t excuse the way things unfolded. It’s disappointing to hear that no effort was made to make it right when you asked for a way to resolve the situation. We’d lo... read more

Fun little dinner spot in Anaheim! This location had plenty of seating available, two self serve kiosk as well as employees available to take your order or answer questions at the counter. We ordered the sliders combo which came with a side of fries with the mild seasoning. And unfortunately they got rid of their cauliflower options which I was excited to try so I got a side of Mac n cheese. For the price I think the sliders combo came with the right amount of food and the tender ratio in the sandwich was perfect! My bo... read more

Business response:

Hello Kailani, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the sliders combo, the crispy fries, and the flavorful Mac n Cheese. It’s great to know you liked the strawberry lemonade slushy as well! We’re sorry to hear about the cauliflower option being gone, but we appreciate your understanding and are glad you still enjoyed the rest of your meal. Your feedback about the slaw and chicken flavor is incredibly helpful, and we’re happy to hear our staff made a positive impression. We hope to se... read more

This place is pretty good. They need to give more French fries tho. Super stingy on the fries. You get a free drink with a yelp check in.

Your feedback means a lot to us! We’re so glad you had a great experience and we look forward to serving you again soon.
