Dave's hot chicken?! More like Dave's hot trash covered in excessive seasoning salt, with a dose of yuck and high blood pressure from all the salt on everything!! This is the worst chicken and fries I've ever had the displeasure of putting even close to my mouth. What a total waste of money! Went to the safeway right after and whilst my friend and I were still ranting on how bad that food was, several of the safeway employees also chimed in on how gross and bad Dave's hot chicken is. Total trash, waste of money and left me ... read more

Food was nasty! My son was bragging about trying this place and none of us ate the food. Chicken looks burnt and the seasoning was NOT tasty at all! Will never go back!

This place is so salty with their food if I was a goat that would be great because they like to lick salt. They need to back off the salt and use more seasoning. I will say that the customer service was great my food was ready and it was hot . But I will not be back. And I am not kidding. It's like they dumped a pound of salt on their food

1st time visiting a Dave's Hot Chicken here at this location. I've only had it at Vegas before and it was decent. Located at a corner of a big street. Parking was okay. There is a lot behind the building. Alot of homeless around. Shop inside looked clean and decent. Food overall, very blah. Look at my photo, the chicken tender is completely dark and dry and overly fried. Photo was not edit at all. Raw shot. I ordered "Medium" spice and it was NOT spicy at all. The chicken when I tore it apart was so dry inside too. It look... read more

My food had two hairs. But besides that the taste was good prior to finding the hairs. They also forgot my shake. Ordered through door dash.

The location is good, right behind a parking lot in the middle of downtown San Leandro. The cashier that helped us was so rude. Just a terrible attitude, we had to repeat ourselves multiple times and she still charged us wrong. I wouldn't return because of that experience alone. Other than that, the food came out pretty quick and some of the other employees seemed nice. The food was average, definitely not up to par with the other Dave's locations in SoCal (medium chicken wasn't spicy at all, the chicken was pretty dry). Mig... read more

Dont order from yelp. Order pick up online from website. Grubhub charges extra to place orders through yelp.

Is it just me or service has been lacking??? Workers in this location take hours upon hours to make a simple chicken . They forget to put pickles & container of Dave's sauce in the bag ‍. San Leandro location have lazy teenagers
