Really great fried chicken sandwiches in the area! I tried the medium-spicy chicken sandwich with cheese, and it was flavorful, filling, and delicious. The fries were also really good! I wasn't a huge fan of the mac and cheese, but I think that really comes down to personal preference. It was very cheesy for my liking, but I can see how others might enjoy it! They do charge extra for a side of ranch. Service was surprisingly fast, especially for a Sunday when the area and nearby restaurants were packed. I'd definitely return to this location whenever I'm craving a fried chicken sandwich. You really can't go wrong with it! read more

First visit so I wanted to try several items: #2 Two sliders and fries - large piece chicken, well seasoned, moist. Half of the chicken wasn't even in the bun. Very tasty. Mozzarella three piece - good but too much breading. Very little cheese pull. Top loaded Buffalo Mac and Cheese - this was basically a side order of fries. Literally no mac and cheese. Disappointed. Minus star. Service was good. Food came quickly. Plenty of tables. Clean. read more

Food is super tasty. Chicken is not overcooked. Service is fabulous, and the interior is very clean and comfortable. The owner/manager even allowed me to buy a soda 15 min before the opened because the next door place's ice machine was not working. Highly recommended! read more

I've driven by this place many times. I finally decided to give them a try. First, the parking. If you come in weekends, holidays, or peak hours, parking can be difficult. There's other restaurants in the immediate area that use the same parking lot. As soon as you enter, you'll notice that there's plenty of seating and the place is kept clean. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu was easy to understand as well. Second, the food was great. I had the combo chicken strip and chicken slider and honestly, we could have shared. The portions were big! The chicken was moist, seasoned well, and the batter was not too thick. I ordered mild but medium and hot (spicy) were available as well. The fries were fresh and the dipping sauce that goes over the chicken was amazing (you can use it for the fries too) Overall a good experience. We recommend this place. read more

Great place to come and eat chicken. The service felt off from the moment I walked in the staff was extremely nice and friendly but one man from the staff in particular kept looking over at me like if I was doing something wrong. It was my first time eating at a Dave's hot chicken and it gave the vibe of a tender location! Overall the food was good and the restaurant was good. read more

Fast friendly service... large outdoor patio, lovely holiday decorations and most importantly hot juicy chicken - this is a good bet for when you are hungry. When In N Out would be an hour long wait next door - this is a great option - I couldn't believe that the drive through line went all the way across the entire parking lot... who would wait in that? No wait here - in fact there is a self order kiosks and you can walk right up and start your order. I like the self order kiosk - I know many don't like them - but if you wanted to order from a human you can do that too. Swap fries for cole slaw, have a fountain drink and your chicken - a very generous chunky piece that you can really sink your teeth into. Do all that while enjoying the ambiance. Bright and cheerful - unique Brentwood graffiti on the wall and then the more usual Daves decor. A tastefully decorated tree - not overdone - as you enter. I thought it was simply beautiful. Red ornaments and white flocked - I think Martha Steward would approve - its a good thing. read more

on weekends, i always saw this place packed: no way i'd wait all that time. but i came through on a weekday, and there was no wait. i ordered their loaded fries, which i enjoyed; they were a tad too salty, but the presentation and overall taste was great the inside ambiance is also admirable. for such a busy ambiance, they make up with a spacious, clean inside environment thx, Dave read more

Dave's Hot Chicken is a solid three stars. Food is crispy, well seasoned, and exactly what you expect. Nothing remarkable, but it gets the job done. They did miss the cheese on my sandwich, so attention to detail could be tighter. Hoping that was just a one-off. Anyone else notice small misses like that? read more

The customer service stood out right away. The employee called out orders multiple times, and even double checked that I had the right order, even though I ordered at the kiosk. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I ordered the regular top-loaded spicy buffalo mac with the chicken in mild. The chicken was perfectly crispy, it was tangy, slightly sweet, and so flavorful. I only wish it came with one or two more pieces of chicken! If you have a higher spice tolerance, I'd recommend going hotter than mild because the flavor is so good. The mac and cheese was creamy but a tiny bit bland, the buffalo sauce made it much better. The fries were seasoned perfectly and nice and crispy. overall everything together was amazing. read more

We were in the area and decided to try this place. It's in a very busy shopping center so parking can be a little tricky. As soon as you walk in there's a kiosk or there is someone to take your order. I like that you get to choose the level of spice. The food is made to order so be patient. Overall the sandwich was good and presentation was very good. I would definitely come back. read more

I absolutely do not like the cayenne pepper seasoning on any chicken. This creation is not me.

The service here is INCREDIBLE and perhaps tastes better than any other location. I've been to so many in the bay and I can say for sure this will be my favorite one :) You can tell the employees here love working here and who wouldn't want to eat at a place made and looked after with love! Nene, Ariana, and Roberto are the best! Nene, the supervisor was very pleasant and so attentive to our needs. Come here and bring your family and friends. The vibe the music the employees and the food has been memorable for us :) read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - The two Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries with "hot" flavor - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brentwood, California

First time I'm having Dave's hot chicken and I will say I'm not too impressed. I've heard many great things about this place from coworkers and family, but it just didn't do it for me however I did get my Dave's hot chicken from DoorDash so I did not get it fresh. I will be going back again in the future to go get fresh chicken. I'm doing this review solely based off of getting it DoorDashed. The fries were a bit soggy, but of course I got it delivered to my house flavor wise was good so I'm sure it would have been pretty great if I got it fresh at the restaurant. The macaroni and cheese was a bit odd as you could see by the picture. There was a lot of of cheese sauce, but not in a good way. As for my slider, I got my chicken as light mild. I feel like the flavor could've been better, but it was still decent. The overall slider was pretty good from the bun to the pickle to the sauce and to the slaw. I ordered an extra tender, which came on top of a slice of bread and some pickles. Holy hell, was that thing hot. I eat spicy food and I'm saying very spicy, but that was hot as hell. You gotta give it to them they were not lying. This thing was spicy. I took a pickle that touched the sauce, just a little bit, and my mouth was burning. I could not do it, I ended up taking off the skin with a fork and a knife, and just eating the inside of the chicken which was still spicy. overall, I had just an OK experience, but I do feel like it would've been better if I went in person getting fresh food rather than getting it through DoorDash . I'm never getting the reaper again. That thing was hot. Never ever ever. Good job on that, Dave's hot chicken. Maybe I'll just stick to medium and hot. read more

Reggie's F.O.O.D. Review F - First Impression First time that I've actually been to the Brentwood location. I like the vibe inside and loved to see the graffiti on the wall that says Brentwood. Spacious on the inside and clean. Was welcomed in by the server and she immediately asked how she can help. Friendly and attentive. O - Ordering Experience I ordered online quick and easy. The website was easy to order from and everything was pretty straightforward. I imagine that ordering would be quick anyway since they have two touchscreens where you can order for yourself and two registers. I didn't wait long and it's reassuring when you can see if your food is ready on the screen. O - Overall Taste & Quality I ordered a mini slider meal with fries and surprisingly got full off of it. And I can eat a lot. The chicken was crispy and juicy. This slider was very flavorful with crispy pickles and crunchy, fresh slaw. And the crinkle cut fries just took me back to my childhood. D - Delivery/Dining Experience The online ordering experience was perfect. I was actually at Costco getting gas when I ordered. And by the time I was done, I went in and didn't have to wait more than a couple minutes to get my food. Got a notification while I was in the store and got my food right away. read more

In a sea of chicken restaurants here in Brentwood, yet another one opened: Dave's Hot Chicken. I am quite hesitant on trying out this restaurant as I had such a mediocre affair with an 'angry' chicken sandwich restaurant. Regardless, I tried Dave's Hot Chicken as my friend raves about their chicken. Ordered Dave's #3: One slider and a tender with fries. I went hot in the hotness scale and did not go all out because I wanted to savor the chicken whether it be good or a dud. My meal came out quickly and I did looked pretty good and hefty as well. First bite, 'well that's pretty good eh?' The chicken was tender and the supporting casts, 'slaw and sauce, were pretty good as well. The hot in the hotness scale was just perfect: a little runny nose but still well to move forward and enjoy the sandwich. Fries was good as well. The other part of the meal, which was the tender was just as good as the slider. It helps a lot that the chicken pieces are not dry and with proper flavor. If I had to knock Dave's Hot Chicken, well the tenders where on the oily side and the meal did not come with a drink. Overall, I enjoyed Dave's Hot Chicken. The sandwich was solid, and I would like my fam to try them out too. Oh and nice flair inside the restaurant. read more

Our insights: -Dave's Hot Chicken is definitely a must try chicken meal to have. I think we'll be biased with this place just coz we just love how sliders are really big and juicy and we just really love this place. The pictures dont justify how enormous the chicken tender is. You can choose the spice level for your tenders. We suggest you to ask for the Dave's special sauce and honey for the tenders when you get your order. Also, you have to order the drink seperately. There has been a lady staff who's been very helpful and kind to us. So, the service is good. The place is clean and have an all around wall graffiti indoor that create a cool ambiance. read more

I think I'm a fan of this spot! Second time coming here and it's definitely still super busy so expect a little wait when you come. I love that you can see all the workers just busting their butt to work quickly and efficiently to get the orders out and they all seem friendly and happy to be there which is cool to see. I'm a fan of graffiti art so the interior was def a vibe. While the flavor of the chicken is on point, they are a little easier on the spicy side so I'd recommend ordering a level up than you normally would. When we have gone, we've split a slider meal and it's been perfect for us. Glad they have this in our neighborhood! read more

Probably the nicest customer service I've had from a Dave's hot chicken.

This one also has such a cool layout with the booths that are soft and plush. Great chicken sandwiches as always. read more

I popped in because I wanted to try the mozzarella sticks. Lonnie was welcoming and provided good customer service.

I will definitely be returning. read more

We had tried DHC - Dublin it was just ok experience for us couple of years back... thought of checking it out since it's opened close by... Even though this area has a huge parking lot it was almost full ... finally we managed to get some spot . Given that's it new it was crazy busy but didn't had to wait too long to place our Togo order... We placed 2 orders of #3 (Mild& Light Mild) Dave's #3: 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries Sliders are served on a potato bun with kale slaw, pickles and drizzled with Dave's sauce & all tenders are served with sliced bread, pickles and a side of Dave's sauce. Since it was very noisy inside we chose to wait outside which was not too long within 5-10 mins our order was ready... glad they announce it over mic so we could hear it very clearly outside. Everything was good ... portion size is good... for me personally I might go for just tenders & fries combo next time & medium spicy ... unless I super hungry then #3 works... Loved that everyone was super excited to try this place... ambience is good loved the vibe!!! read more

Two stars because the portion size was decent (overly large chicken tenders - a good but probably bad thing) and the chicken was juicy. However, I ordered "no spice" and there's literally no flavor, and the chicken tastes burnt. They should offer more sauce or more pickles to cover the blandness. I won't be returning to this brand. Popeyes tastes much better. read more

The food was fast, good and price was nice. That being said, I was left wishing for more. But I will definitely come back and give it another go and try the shakes next time. I had the #3 combo in medium heat. Which felt very weak for medium, so I'll try hotter next trip. The chicken tender was juicy, but I wish it had more flavor to it. It feels heavily seasoned on the outside, but not as flavorful as you'd expect. The slider was good, but suffers the same fate. The added slaw adds a nice flavoring and their pickles are great. Their special sauce is ok in my opinion. The seasoned fries are good. They are not heavily seasoned and fried just how I like them, not all soggy. I would probably get the cheese fries next time as they looked good. The Mac N Cheese was underwhelming. I guess it's geared more towards kids. Because it just seemed like a leveled up boxed mac. Not terrible by any means, just kinda bland and there. The portions were definitely a good size. So I feel you get your moneys worth in that regard. I will definitely give it another go, but level up in spice. I got a to-go order and it was fast and efficient with friendly staff, so kudos there. As it sits right now, I think locally, I prefer Angry Chickz for my spicy chicken sandwich fix. read more

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that a great meal and friendly person can completely turn around a bad day. And that's exactly what Dave's Hot Chicken in Brentwood, CA, did for my friends and I. We were having one of those rough nights that was supposed to start off fun but it was one inconvenience after another. Our experience was made by our server, Rodney (aka Nene), who deserves a special shoutout. She was the absolute definition of customer service excellence. From the moment we approached the counter, her warm and welcoming demeanor made us feel like we were in the best hands. Ordering food can be a simple task, but Nene made the whole process feel like part of the fun. Her infectious energy, humor, and attentiveness helped turn what could have been a rough night into one full of laughter and great memories. Now, let's talk about the food, because, let's face it, that's what we were really there for, and it didn't disappoint. I went with the Dave's #4, and it was everything I hoped for. My friend opted for the same, but one went with the hot heat, while I went for the medium. Both of us agreed that the medium level was just right-- an enjoyable minimal heat level. The medium spice is a perfect choice for anyone who wants a little kick but not too much burn. The chicken itself was juicy and perfectly crispy, with that ideal balance of crunch and tenderness that makes a fried chicken sandwich truly satisfying. The slaw and sauce added a creamy, tangy element that complemented the heat in the chicken. Honestly, it's hard to go wrong with any of Dave's sandwiches, but if you like your spice a little more intense, I'd recommend going with the hot or higher. Dave's Hot Chicken has some of the best in the fast food game. She might just be UP there for me personally. These fries are perfectly crispy on the outside with a fluffy, potato-filled interior. They're the kind of fries you could snack on for hours. They don't get soggy, and the seasoning is just the right amount--flavorful, but not overpowering. The sauce-and-honey combo for dipping the fries and the sandwich.. If you haven't tried this, you're truly missing out. The sweetness of the honey mixed with the tang of the sauce creates a dynamic flavor explosion that pairs incredibly well with both the fries and the chicken. Trust me--this is the secret sauce that will elevate your meal. We couldn't resist trying the shakes, and I'm so glad we did. We ordered three vanilla shakes with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Oreo crumbles, and they were divine. The cinnamon and Oreo toppings added a fun, dessert-like twist to the vanilla base, and they were the perfect indulgence to round out the meal. It's a must-try, for sure. The best part? The whole experience was fast, fresh, and efficient. In and out in no time, but it didn't feel rushed. Despite being a fast-casual spot, Dave's Hot Chicken manages to maintain high-quality service and food every time. The vibe is relaxed but vibrant, and the staff makes sure you feel like you're getting a top-tier experience, from the moment you order to the second you finish your meal. In short, Dave's Hot Chicken in Brentwood has quickly become one of my favorite fast-food spots. Great food, amazing service, and a memorable experience making it a place I'll definitely be returning to. If you haven't been yet, go ahead and make your way there--it's a total game-changer. Thanks to Nene and the team for turning a rough night into one that ended on a high note. Highly recommend! read more

Grabbed a lunch here the other day. Ordered the number three which is a chicken sandwich and a chicken tender with fries set. Seemed a bit expensive for $18 with tax with no drink. But it's a lot of food and I only ate half the meal and ate the other half the next day, so it tracks. Chicken tender was indeed tender and juicy. I hear they brine their chicken which explains the juicy and also the saltiness. I had the tender in medium which was a tad weak. Wish it had some more flavor than just hot. The sandwich the next day was very good. Not as good as popeye's in my opinion. This I got in hot which was indeed not. Again, it was just hot and wish it had other spices too. But it was good. Staff was very friendly. "Lonny" gets kudos. Store is clean. Nice outdoor seating area and clean bathroom. Overall well worth getting a bite. read more

I really enjoyed the hot slider and the extra hot slider. Nice soft bun and accompaniments. The fries are okay and I enjoyed the mac and cheese. The cauliflower bites are fine but their chicken is much better. Crispy and juicy! I don't recommend the reaper unless you want to try it for the experience. It may be good for some giggles to watch someone take a bite but it's not as fun doing it personally. It's extraordinarily spicy. Be warned. read more

My tiny human and I stopped in for a quick bite! Our first visit was during the grand opening. I never shared a review because our experience was not the best. I ordered the hot spice level but my order was extra salty. We popped in today for a do over, only because my little one was crying for chicken and fries. But to my surprise, this time my chicken was actually "hot" and not salty! I'm not sure what they're doing different, but I'm here for it! So glad we popped in for a do over! Winner-Winner, Chicken Dinner! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's hot chicken meal - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brentwood, California

Ordered a combo and a shake to try and the fries are the only thing we would return for. We ordered plain chicken and hot chicken. The plain chicken had no seasoning like no salt period. Frozen chicken nuggets have more flavor. The hot chicken had a lot of seasoning, with every bite our teeth were covered with seasoning. Seems like they are over seasoning because the base chicken has zero flavor. The hot chicken flavor was good despite the teeth coating seasoning. The fries were really good, we really loved those. We got the Oreo shake because that's what the girl said was the best. Be sure to get a spoon because they use crushed m&ms and not minis you will get zero m&ms through the straw. But they are generous with the m&ms at the end we had about 1/2 cup at the bottom. read more

Was excited to see a Dave's open up in this area! Bright and clean inside. Ordered my usual Dave's #4 slider with fries with an extra side of kale slaw. My advice is to eat it there while it's still hot and crispy! Not as good once you get home, even if you live nearby...it gets soggy quickly. Also tried the Small Cinnamon Toast Top Loaded Shake - disappointing and regretted getting it. Staff were nice, parking was a bit crazy and line was quite long and didn't move very fast. read more
