I have been hearing wonderful things about this place, so it was finally my time to give it a whirl. When an establishment has a limited menu- chicken sandwich or chicken tenders, it better be damn good and I am happy to report that they knocked it out of the park. The chicken is truly the star, it was crispy, moist and the seasoning was on point. Finally an establishment that understands chicken needs heavy seasoning. The seasoning wasn't just on the crispy exterior but actually penetrated the meat - Bravo!! I loved the swe... read more

The food is good but they are short on the fries. I think as if right now, hotboyz in novato has them beat. Time to step it up Dave!

Solid chicken on every level. Spicy, not dry, good portions. Also their kale slaw are really really good - way better than what you typically find at BBQ or chicken places. This location in particular is decent size and has indoor and outdoor seating. Can't think of a better place to get chicken tenders! And the staff keeps the place clean

3rd trip here and the food is consistently good. You can customize your spicy level from mild to blazing if you can take the heat . They have various fountain drinks to choose from as well as bottle options. The food is hot and does taste delicious, the tenders They also offer several options for milkshakes too, you can save that for dessert

This place has piping hot chicken. The service here is great and it is very cool (temperature wise) inside. I say this because it was very hot outside. I got the number 3--a slider and tenders. They are very generous with their portions here; the tenders are humungous and juicy. I believe all the tenders come with a slice of bread. I can handle very spicy foods but I enjoy the flavor more than the pain, so the medium was perfect for me. The sauce looks like it has a ketchup, mayo, mustard base; it is both sweet and tangy.

I've been driving by for years and finally stopped in to try the hot chicken. I got two tenders with fries for about $14. In the box there were two pieces of white bread, some sliced pickles, some of Dave's hot sauce (like a Mayo chipotle mix), some ketchup, and some honey. When I ordered they offer multiple levels of hotness. I got the "hot". Verdict: it was hot. I almost choked on some peppery stuff on my first bite. It wasn't death defying hot but neared stuntman levels of hot. I finally figured out that that the best s... read more

Unlike all other fried chicken sandwich places, Dave's recently added a vegetarian/healthier option to their menu- the "Not Chicken" cauliflower slider. I decided to try it and it was pretty darn good for being cauliflower!! It looks exactly like a fried chicken sandwich and I'd rate the taste 10/10 as it was seasoned and breaded exactly like chicken, cooked perfectly not too soft and not too hard. If you're looking for a lighter option, I'd recommend this!

Dave's hot chicken sliders are so delicious. Every time we're in Novato, we always have to make a stop here. Try eating the slider with honey -- it's a game changer!

I've been here to dine in and take out and either option is great. I like their to-go box. It keeps everything nice and organized. I usually get the extra hot or hot sliders. Their fries are nice and crispy too. If you are a spice fanatic, try the spiciest seasoning, the reaper. It's not the spiciest thing in the world, but each bite will remind you if the choice you made. They also use coleslaw in the sandwich instead of lettuce which is always a win in chicken sandwiches.
