I really love fried chicken sandwiches. Checked out the new Dave's Hot Chicken. It's in a great location. The store was very clean and Anthony was really helpful, they get 6 stars. I got a slider metal spicy level, which was pretty spicy. It was just ok, the drizzle sauce or the slaw had some kind of chipotle or cumin that I wasn't a fan of. It's not a chicken thigh like chik fil a, it's just a tender on a bun. $8 for one slider, I wasn't impressed. There's a lot of options out there to fit all palates, this place just isn... read more

Had a dinner here with my daughter and we got the 2 strip combo and the slider and strip combo both medium heat and it had a kick but not too spicy which was great for my daughter. Seating was nice and open and the service was great. The girl who helped me named Nessa was really nice and helpful when I asked for some sauce and utensils. We will definitely be back.

Nice burger place with variation to hotness you want in your meal. I like that part! I also like that the burger sizes are smaller than other places. It's nicely located with good sitting area. Service has always been fast, no problems.

The best Dave's location I've been to! The inside is super clean and well kept- I know it's a newer location so hopefully they keep it up. Friendly service and food came out quickly and was super fresh and hot. The fries were really crispy and had the perfect amount of seasoning, and the sliders were so good and hot. Parking is easy here and there are lots of seats inside and outside. Will be back!

I've passed this Place a few times and finally stopped in today after shopping at Trader Joe's, which is next-door. The inside is cute and clean. It's bright and airy and the customer service was pretty spot on. Their menu is extremely straightforward with not a lot of options so I opted for just the single chicken, tender medium heat with an extra side of sauce, cause I'm a sauce girlie and I got it to-go. My order came out pretty quickly and off I went. Everything was still hot when I got home and here's my thoughts: Ki... read more

Let me tell you about THIS location. The food is consistent across all locations. And it's amazing. Good value. But THIS location is special because: SERVICE: The team there today 6/26/24 was special. They greeted and said goodbye to every customer. They asked them how their food was. They checked on people during their meal. I felt like I was at a sit down restaurant. Truly a standout team of guys. SPEED: food came out QUICK. I was about 5th in line to order and my food came out within 5 minutes it seemed. Hot. Accurate.... read more

*First time review, takeout* I was craving some chicken and wanted to try out Dave's. My bf got the chicken sandwich and I got the 10 piece chicken bites. I went with medium spice because I wasn't sure what to expect. Has a light kick but I could definitely handle super spicy and might enjoy that more. I like that they gave me pickles! 7/10 - juicy, nice flavor. Cooked really well just wish it was a tad crispier. I am between a 3 and 4- because my bf said the sandwich is so good I'll definitely try that sometime!

I've been to a handful of Dave's locations in the bay area and in SoCal. I think it's generally not the best hot chicken sandwich I've had, but it gets the job done if you're having the craving (+convenient since there are a handful of locations now). First time trying this new location on Prospect Road, in the Trader Joe's plaza. I got the #2 (2 sliders with fries) as I usually do. It was ready in less than 10 minutes. I like the crinkle cut fries because they're crispy on outside and soft on inside. I think the chicken it... read more

I like Angry Chickz hot chicken so I was excited to try a similar spot. The chicken sandwich from here is WAY better, no lie. It's a little pricy at almost $20 for a combo (got the #2) but it comes with 2 big a$$ sandwiches plus a good amount of fries. It could really be 2 meals. I got my chicken medium heat and it was perfect. Juicy and crunchy around the corners, not to mention the piece itself was HUGE. It had so much flavor. The squiggly fries were bomb and especially the sauce that came with it. I got my food to go, ser... read more
