Tried DHC for the first time last Friday and it was so good we had it again this Friday. My bf is totally obsessed already. The food is obviously very good! The employees are all super nice and the service is quick. The restaurant itself is a good space, it's very clean and they play really great music.

5 stars for customer service! I got a tender on the grand opening and a slider a week later and everyone was helpful and pleasant. The chicken tenders are tender, crispy, hot, fresh, and very thick. Move over, local Safeway. The price is reasonable. And they use dense bread buns with a nice grill to it- not the cardboard tasting kind from McDonald's. The place is clean, even the restrooms! Hopefully this keeps up. The benches along the side have cushions for a comfy stay and they did a good job on lighting- lots of ... read more

We've been waiting for this restaurant to open, and it was worth the wait. My husband likes spicy food, but I have to keep it mild, and Dave's can keep both of us happy. I loved the fries (and the extra pickles!) especially. Recommended.

February 19, 2023 Came with my partner to see what the buzz is about the newly opened Dave's Hot Chicken Atmosphere - 5 stars Food - 4 star Service - 5 stars --Atmosphere-- The inside is brand new with high ceilings and cool murals on the walls. There are many places to sit and staff that waits around to clean tables, push chairs in, and even open the door for you! --Food-- We ordered 2 Mild Sliders w/ Fries and 2 Medium Sliders w/ Mac n Cheese. The fries were very well done and we enjoyed the sauce as well as the pickles... read more

Best customer service! Omar especially, very kind and helpful with my friends and I being first time customers! I even saw them cleaning the windows and tables ??? I highly appreciate them cleaning for more customers to be comfortable in a clean area to eat. The food met up to my expectations - the spice levels were well evened out. Would come by again, happy grand opening to these guys!

The highly anticipated Dave's Hot Chicken is the latest new eatery in Rivermark Plaza, having put up the big DAVE'S HOT CHICKEN sign up months ago, teasing the community with excitement. Love the fact that they are open late (for Santa Clara standards) and they have an online order pickup window so you can avoid having to go indoors in a pinch. The inside is painted a frenetic energy reminiscing of a marvel comics intro. I can envision the space to be a bustling location, at least to start off. The menu is super simple... read more

worst Dave's ever and I have eaten at plenty all over California. - ordered #2 hot and x-hot. It came without any labels on the two slider which is what - BLAND lukewarm fry's and why so stingy with them ? - had to double check the receipt that they indeed were hot and x-hot. It was more like mild and mild - hardly anything in the bun with the chicken tender - meat quality was questionable - no greeting, nothing.

Extremely over priced mediocre food with small portions. I ordered the buffalo hot Mac and Cheese and it was a 5/10 at best. Doesn't stand anywhere close to its competitors in terms of quality while following a trend of being extremely overpriced for no reason. Last time I checked they're serving chicken not STEAK so why is it so expensive and how do you mess up frying chicken. It's one of the easiest things to make good. Trash, would never recommend.
