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.

[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

Huge sandwich!!! But dry as heck! I was about to choke to death. You definitely need a strong side to push the meat down. If you like extra THICK chicken, then this is the place for you.

The moment I stepped into this establishment, I gagged ! The aroma of the spice was unbearable! I was craving naked tenders, and I was served ENCRUSTED heat! I am appalled by the service! My server was incredibly rude and made comments about my wig! The ambience was spicy, and I didn't appreciate it! I wish I could had given it a 0, although that isn't possible. Do not go here! 

Business response:

Sorry to hear about your experience. We want to earn those extra stars. Help us improve at dhcfeedback.com. Thank you.

Order 3 of the two strips n sliders they gave us something else orders we can't handle spice just mild and my wife couldn't eat hers since was way to spicy burning hell. What a waste of money and my son couldn't eat his at all no way I'd let him try his

Employee named brandon threatend to spit in my food. Sucha jerk! And he left fries on a dirty counter, looked at it and left it there. Very dirty.
