Tried out this fried chicken sandwich shop recently and walked away a bit underwhelmed. The chicken itself was very dry--disappointingly so. To make matters worse, it was over-spiced, which completely masked the flavor of the meat. You end up tasting more seasoning than actual chicken. The dipping sauce leaned heavily on the sweet side. On a more positive note, the fries were surprisingly good--crispy and well-seasoned, definitely the highlight of the meal. Overall, it's just an OK spot. Not terrible, but not something I'd... read more

Tried the reaper level chicken, very delicious and juicy, but be ready to face hell the next 2 -3 hours. Had to sign a waiver, too. Dave's bites are great.

Dave's Hot Chicken is a tasty new fried chicken establishment in West San Jose. I often come here for lunch since it's close and allows me to grocery shop at the Trader Joes next door. Parking shouldn't be an issue, there is plenty of parking space for now (until the Costco gets built). The interior is clean and the staff is very friendly. "Two Tenders with Fries Combo" - 8/10: I think this is a great deal for the price. The meal decently sized chicken tenders, a piece of bread, pickles, and fries. The chicken tenders are ... read more

The place is open and clean and friendly with pop music and big graphics and high ceilings and self-serve soda refills- it's like the MOD of chicken. We were there 8:30pm on a Friday night and almost every seat was taken. Fast-food chicken isn't really my thing, but if it's yours... Dave's is more about the spice than Popeye's, more about being trendy and late night food trucky than KFC's, and more inclusive than Chick-Fil-A.

The ordering app bugged out. I tried ordering through both my phone and at the kiosks. All had a weird Uh Oh! error message when I tried to pay. At least the staff was very helpful and I was able to walk over to the cashier and order it through them. My order was 2 sliders with fries $17.49 and mini sliders $8. I noticed the length of the chicken is shorter than before. Regardless, it tasted great. This took me back to my first time tasting a Dave's Hot Chicken sandwich. Good memories. They have a good team here. The food, w... read more

I really enjoyed Dave's Hot Chicken, the food was AWESOME!!! The service was fast and friendly! And was on spot! We enjoyed the outdoor dining and the nice weather. The reason why I gave this place 4 stars was because of the fries, they were pretty good, but could've been better. Anyways I hope to come again soon!

Glad to see more Dave's Hot Chicken restaurants opening up as I really enjoy their chicken. Medium spice was not spicy enough for me so next time I will have to go hotter. The tender slider and tender was perfectly seasoned and moist. Fries were crispy and yummy, regretted not getting the cheese fries! Love the sauce that comes with the tenders though and great for dipping the fries.
