Amazing food and hospitality. We were served with a smile. There was hardly any wait. The place was nice and good seating capacity. There was slight delay and we were offered drink at no cost which we politely declined. Highly recommend.

I was excited to try this place since I've seen so many locations pop up around. I really enjoyed the food but I am a little indecisive about how I feel about the chicken. They were great big pieces, very juicy but they tasted slightly burnt on the outside. I got no spice level since I wanted to just try the chicken itself but I practically picked apart the second piece to avoid the breading. I will be back to try again so hopefully it's different. I would still recommend to try. 

Business response:

We'd really love a second chance to earn those 2 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc?

Great value for a meal! The sliders are a good size and come with a side of seasoned fries. The mac sides were a great portion for each kid. We'll definitely be back. Friendly staff, place was pretty clean.

Dang. Wish it was more like Super Chix. That place was the bomb. Lots of dipping sauces, chicken options and salads... and they gave a ton of fries. Dave's was over priced and gives a small portion of fries that were not tasty. The tenders were moist but I doubt we will go back. 

Business response:

Appreciate you giving us a try, D. Sounds like we didn’t quite hit the mark for you, but we appreciate the honest feedback. If there’s anything specific we could’ve done better, feel free to share at dhcfeedback.com.

I'm a veteran of the chicken sandwich wars. I rose to the Popeyes taste test and hold my own version of the Hot Ones challenge with guests and the authentic Heatonist sauces every season. So when I heard there was a Dave's Hot Chicken nearby, an iconic So-Cal franchisee, I had to make a pilgrimage and try it out. First of all the location in Westgate near Trader Joe's is clean, colorful and inviting. Dave's is cribbing a page from the Chik-Fil-A book with friendly, well trained staff that walked this first timer through th... read more

Business response:

A true veteran of the chicken sandwich wars—respect! Love the detailed breakdown, and glad our "hot" delivered on spice without compromising flavor. Looking forward to your next battle with extra hot or Reaper!

Both the food and service at Daves on Prospect are consistently excellent. Ian was providing great help at the register. I am happy to see the Not Chicken option back though I am sticking to my favorite, the Medium Slider 

Business response:

Thanks for the awesome review, David! We’re so glad you enjoyed the sliders and had a great experience with Ian. We hope to see you back at the Prospect location soon for more delicious chicken!

The hype is real. I had heard about this spot from a couple of people and it was delicious. I am not a fan of spicy so I very nervously ordered the lite-mild and that was perfect. The chicken was very flavorful. Solid 4! 

Business response:

Glad the lite-mild hit the spot! Appreciate you giving us a shot despite not being a spice fan.
