    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.

    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 :)

    Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Probably the nicest customer service I've had from a Dave's hot chicken. It's not that the others are unfriendly because they're also plenty nice but this one just has beyond excellent customer service. This one also has such a cool layout with the booths that are soft and plush. Great chicken sandwiches as always.

    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!!!

    Combo #Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries
    Kenny B.

    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.

    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!

There aren't too many options for Korean food around here, so I'm glad they are around! Our favorites to order are the bao buns, the mopo corn dog, and the wings!

Employee didn't even say sorry. I looked to check if I got everything I ordered and then another employee comes out and then asks if I need help? I said no. Everything was there except for the other ranch but I didn't want to talk to any employees there anymore after being ignored and bypass to the person that came after me. I had always had a good experience here the past times I've gone with the other employees but the ones on a Sunday evening did not keep me happy. Maybe next time the employees will learn to ask the person inside already if they need assistance rather than a guy standing by the exit door, I can't believe he even tried to let them help him, he said sorry but not the employee There were customers inside but it's pretty much one table to eat there so to go is always the best for this location.

I placed my order a few weeks in advance to make sure it didn't sell out, and the staff member who helped me was very friendly. She confirmed that my pickup time would be 7 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day. When Thanksgiving morning arrived, I went to the restaurant. The doors were still closed, but as I'd been told, all I had to do was knock and they opened the door for me right away. My order was ready, and the process was quick and easy. KFC also gives you the option to order a bundle with sides like mashed potatoes, corn, and other dishes, which is convenient if you want a full meal. The turkey itself came already seasoned, warm, and with clear instructions for finishing it at home. All I had to do was put it in the oven for about an hour before guests arrived, and it was ready to serve. It made hosting much easier and helped the meal come together smoothly.
