I absolutely love this place and the food is so good. The manager Holly is next level. She really took care of us in a horrible situation.

A quick place for getting your lunch. The food is made to order and the quantity is ample for one person. The fries is seasoned and taste good but less crispy would be great if it was bit more crispy. The chicken tenders is of decent size with good spice kick to it. The lunch dishes start from $9.95 to $14.95 with side options for which you pay separately. For the price and quality it is a good balance. Bottom line will visit this place again.

The food was pretty good I don't have any complaints.. the spice is a dry rub.. it doesn't taste like dry Cinnamon I tried hot and extra hot.. Hot was more of a medium spice and extra hot was a decent level of spice my nose started running but nothing too major. The sandwich could have had more slaw for my liking and the side of fries were hefty .. I actually gave most away to an unhoused person because I couldn't finish them.. all food was served hot and fresh 5/5 customer service They don't have ranch .. their Dave sauce... read more

Got the slider and tender combo with fries and an extra side of slaw and mac n cheese. I'm a wimp when it comes to spice so ordered it mild and it still had enough kick. Chicken was juicy, fries were perfectly crispy and delicious, mac n cheese was alright, slaw didn't have much dressing on it so that's my only complaint. Definitely coming back!

Dave's is a good fried chicken spot. I got their hottest and wasn't impressed by the spice level. I do however like their fries (think hot Boys crinkle cut with seasoning). The have sliders instead of sandwiches at a reasonable price 6.75 for one 13 after tax for a combo one slider and fries side. Their special is pretty bomb I'll give them that. I would go back but not for the heat but for the quality of food. Fast grab and go ambiance, with sit down option. The service was very friendly and for how busy they were our food ... read more

Finally got to try Dave's Hot Chicken and it was good! Overall, I felt the chicken was good quality and they make ordering so easy by offering a few options on the menu. Food: - Quality: 4.5/5 (feels like chicken breast? So good!) - Taste/Flavor: 4/5 (got medium spicy and can definitely feel the heat) - Portion: 5/5 - Presentation: 4/5 Other: - Customer Service: 4.5/5 (cashier was helpful, pick up assistant was offer sauces and being respectful) - Wait time: 3.5/5 (felt like we waited a while, maybe ~15 mins) - Seating: In... read more

[2.7/5] This is a spot that I have heard a lot about and have passed by when I've been in SoCal but have never had the chance to try it. I've heard a lot of good things and thought I was going to be in for a great meal. After eating it, I can comfortably say, "meh". I had a medium and hot slider where the medium was as if there was absolutely no heat at all and the hot was barely any heat. For it to be named hot chicken, the heat was really downplayed and essentially a non-factor. As well, I'm not sure if the heat is suppose... read more
