I stopped by the Dave's Hot Chicken location in Monrovia for lunch around 2:00 p.m. It was busy,…read morewhich I took as a good sign. I'd never been before, but I'd been wanting to try it for a long time. As soon as I walked in, I noticed two ordering kiosks with people waiting in line. Before I could even figure out what to do, a young lady with the biggest smile greeted me and asked if she could help. Her name was Patty. I told her it was my first visit, and she patiently explained the menu, especially the different spice levels. Since I enjoy spicy food, I confidently ordered the Hot level. Looking back... I may have been a little overconfident! When my food was ready, Patty brought it to my table with the same genuine smile she greeted me with. The food looked incredible, and the chicken was juicy and delicious--but after a few bites, I realized the Hot level was hotter than I had imagined. I laughed to myself and thought, "Next time, I'm definitely ordering one level lower." A few minutes later, Patty came back to check on me because it was my first visit. I told her the food was great, but I'd overestimated my spice tolerance. Without hesitation she said, "I'll change it for you." I immediately told her, "No, it's okay. I don't want you to waste food." She smiled and replied, "I want you to enjoy it." That simple statement really impressed me. In today's world, you don't hear that very often. It reminded me of something I had just read about Dave's Hot Chicken--"Keep us honest." Patty truly lived that philosophy. She wasn't just serving food; she genuinely wanted my first experience to be a great one. The food was excellent, but Patty's kindness and customer service made the experience memorable. That's the kind of employee every business hopes to have. I'll definitely be back--and hopefully Patty will be there again. Thank you, Patty, for making my first visit such a great one. You turned a first-time customer into a returning one.

Kiosk ordering is available and they kept the space crisp and cool - a very nice reprieve on a hot day. We tried the 5pc hot mozz meal (~$14) which comes with fries and I personally really enjoyed it.. big thick fried gooey cheese.. what cheese lover wouldn't love it?! It's really heavy though; one piece is practically equivalent to a regular adult's entire meal's worth of calories lol. The orange crème slusher was also really delicious and is pretty much orange bang on roids.

Inside the place is more vibrant and clean. Photos of menu items are astound the window. My parents wanted to come try it after so many years and we went as a family of 6 which they have traveled mainly for 4 adults. We ordered a variety of food items such as zucchini fries, chili cheese fries, pastrami sandwich with onion rings, fish and chips dinner, and ice cream. The staff were friendly and always available, since we can go to the ordering station to ask questions, we asked for picked jalapeños and carrots to go with our food. They gave us a bunch of them in bags. Everything was good, I would say that my favorite is still their zucchini fries and ranch, I love their ranch and glad they gave us a couple containers because I needed more. Definitely a great bite to grab, I think I prefer snacks from here like their huge portion of fries but their burgers are really good as well.

I used to live a few minutes away from Jim's, but only came here once many years ago, before my…read morerecent visit. My family was craving a breakfast burrito so I brought them here, because they serve breakfast items all day. I noticed they had a grill with open flames and thought their burgers must have that nice smoky charred taste, so I got a pastrami cheeseburger. The breakfast burritos were both good and filling, but there was nothing about it that stood out over some of the other burger spots around Monrovia. The pastrami cheeseburger unfortunately had no charred flavor at all. It didn't even have any grill marks, so I'm not sure what the open flame was reserved for. What tasted like thousand island dressing overpowered the beef and pastrami, so I mostly tasted the sweet sauce. Well, we got what we were craving, but I was left disappointed. That's just me expecting too much from a $11. burger, from a place that has the same name as me, and the word 'Burger' in its name.

I will say their staff is extremely pleasant to deal with! The people who take my order are always so nice & quick! The staff giving the food are usually nice as well! This in n out doesn't miss!

The last two times I've been to this location, they completely messed up my order…read more The first time, I made it very clear to the cashier exactly what I wanted. Flying Dutchman, onion, wrap, with tomato and chopped chilies, 3 x 3. When I got it, it was none of that. Yesterday, it was a really simple order, 3 x 3 Flying Dutchman. When I went to pay at the drive-through,, the girl told me that I ordered a WGAR, I've never heard of that. I politely said," I ordered a flying Dutchman." she tried to explain to me what I ordered, and I told her that I know what I ordered. When I got the order, it was this weird onion, lettuce, wrap thing, that didn't resemble anything of a flying Dutchman. I've noticed that the people that they have recently hired, seemed kind of clueless when you go up to order. I've never had this problem with any of the other stores, it's just been the Monrovia location. Make sure you, double and triple check your order when you get it.

Got to try all four and my fav was Asada followed by, surprisingly, pollo. Asada was just solid grilled meat, tender and chewy (which I liked), while pollo was a stewed chicken with great flavor. Usually I'm iffy on chicken since it tends to be dry, but not here. 3% transaction fee for cards. Would highly rec to check them out also on Tuesdays, where the fish taco also has a 2 for 1 deal.

Empanadas have never been a go to because I don't love raisins in dishes, however their menu has expanded the possibilities of what can go inside. Ordered a dozen (2 of each flavor I wanted to try) because I didn't want to be held back by having to choose just a few, but now I foresee my family arguing over who gets the last of their favorite flavor. Breakfast (with chorizo) - Spicy Black bean - Apple pie - My son vouches for the birria and pizza ones. All in all, hot and tasty food, great sauces (both the regular and spicy chimichurri are delectable), cute presentation, CLEAN interior, superb customer service. We'll be back!!
