    Cravings were definitely satisfied here! I ordered the slider combo with a side of their cheese sticks. I will say it took some time to be ready but it was well worth it. The food was still warm and cheese was nice and stringy. Perfect cheese pull! This location has seating inside and outdoor with plenty of parking. I recommend!

    I love Dave's! The tenders, the sliders, the fries they always hit. Today was no exception. The flavor, quality, and taste were 10/10. The inside was buzzing with nearly every table taken. Where they fell short today was on service. I'm not sure if they were understaffed but the wait time was over 35 minutes. DoorDash and Ubereats drivers were equally as frustrated waiting for food to come out. Once ready it was perfection.....

    It's been years since I had Dave's hot chicken, but recently I decided to try it out again. I ordered for pickup and it said it would take about 15 minutes. It did end up taking around 35 minutes since they were backed up. I ordered the slider combo that brings two sliders and fries! The hot wasn't hot compared to other hot chicken places. However it was very crunchy, juicy and flavorful! I will say I appreciate the amount of pickles they add to the sliders as they really up the taste! The fries were well seasoned & crunchy! Everything paired perfectly with their sauce and honey. Please keep in mind this location is surrounded by other restaurants and parking can be a bit hectic!

    Pretty solid chicken. We got a 'slider' and tender meal. Fries were good, chicken was pretty tasty. The 'slider' is a sandwich, so that's a bit confusing when ordering. Smaller than what you get at another fast food chicken spot's sandwich, but decent, just the same. They also have a mini slider deal that I am guessing are true sliders. Service was very friendly. The place is somewhat stark, concrete and graffiti art all over. Tables didn't look clean and we asked for a wipedown. She told us they just look that way but did wipe ours down. It felt better, but still... Would definitely return.

    If you're craving juicy fried chicken, look no further . I 'm a wimp when it comes to spicy so I usually order mild level and it's the perfect level of spice. My go to is the two slider combo . Comes with tasty crinkle cut fries and pickle. The breast meat was so tender and juicy. Definitely cooked to order. Also it's a dry rub hot chicken, so don't expect it to be the same in style as Nashville hot chicken. They add purple cabbage and pickles which compliments the product as a whole by giving you the freshness and crunch. Food and service here is always good. The interior is nice and clean.

    Came here as a party of two on a Saturday around 1PM. It was pretty busy. We ordered at the kiosk. The ambience was definitely fast casual. As far as service goes it was average to slow. It definitely was not quick. I ordered the single two tenders in hot. I think the ratio of breading to chicken was pretty good, but not perfect. The chicken is more important than the breading, however the breading holds the flavor. The chicken was breaded and moist, as well as properly spiced. I love pickles, so those are always a nice touch. The bread is unnecessary to eat however, I understand its purpose, with fried food, of course. For the price, it's an above average meal, when comparing to other chicken shops like Chick-fil-A. One thing I wish Dave's would change is, getting rid of American cheese, because it's just so gross.

    I like that all Dave's have their own flavor.

    Ill say the same thing for all Dave's Chickens, when the expansion happened the taste changed. I don't know if it is just watered down but I used to go to the original location and that was the best. Anyway a little mad they gave my order to someone else else after I waited but they did what they could to try to fix it with a little somethin. To me this was the only place I would eat at in this whole shopping center.

    Haven't been to Dave's hot chicken in almost 3 years and decided to go here with some friends to try it again after so long. Went to the Burbank location and it was quite busy which is interesting because they usually aren't that busy but then again this was 2-3 years ago and maybe times have changed. I heard about them releasing mozzarella sticks but it was sold out which was a shame. I ended up getting a tender combo one hot and one medium with cheese fries and a small drink. Got my order and was Kind of disappointed with my fries. I got so little for what I paid for not to mention when I first bit into it it tasted a bit stale like it sat there for awhile. It was quite disappointing. Tried my tenders, I went for the medium it was ok, some parts of it were burned and not seasoned properly. Went for the hot and it was also poorly seasoned and parts of it were burned. I remember they used to give 5 pickles but I only had 3 which is kind of lame as I love pickles! Wanted to get a drink but as soon as I sat down and waited for my order some guy went up and put an out of order sign on the machine. I tried to get some type of exchange for my drink with a bottled water at least but it wasn't allowed and the funny thing is my friend got a bottled coke for his replacement and bottled Dr Pepper as they also ordered fountain drinks and they didn't have to pay they were just given and some people too also like I saw lady ask for water because she couldn't get water as the machine was "out of order" and she got one just fine and I didn't see her pull out her wallet or anything but I was tol to do the whole process and reorder just for a bottle of water? That doesn't really make sense and kind of dumb too which was slightly annoying. Anyways, our table was one of a few that were dirty but the least dirty (no sauce smeared on table and fry bits and drink puddles like some vacant ones) but it did have chicken crumbs and left over. The ambiance was cool I like the art and music but it doesn't justify nor help the fact that the portion of fries were small and stale for what I've paid for, less pickles given, I was denied a drink swap when others were allowed to freely my chicken was poorly seasoned and slightly burned. I think the only good experience I had was the side of ranch which by the way I'm surprised they even have that. I think overly my experience went poorly at this location. I don't think I'd want to return here maybe I'll go to another location to see if will fair better but overall not the Dave's hot chicken I remember from the parking lot days in Hollywood it's unfortunately a shadow of its former self.. For me, I give it a 1 star rating.

    Disgusting!!!! You go inside there is a horrible smell that we couldn't stand and decided to go and sit outside. Places the order and once we got it there was 2 strands of copper/orange hair on our food. I immediately went and returned it. The 2 ladies at the counter looked at each other and smiled, no apologies, nothing, and the older one called Angel, who was I guess a manager to come and help. He refunded and apologized and wanted to replace our food and I said no and walked away. Inside was a mess. The napkin dispenser was empty, trash bin was overfilled inside the store and water or left over of the drinks from the cups inside the trash covered the floor and went under one of the tables. Never ever going back to this location.

    I always DoorDash from here & they always forget to sub my fries to Mac & cheese. Do better & get employees that can read

    The best chicken I've ever had. Dave does some of the best work weve ever seen. The nice lady at the front was named Jahiara and she was very cool and awesome. Coming here made my day, would 100% recommend.

    From a Sunday before 7pm dinner rush. Great seasoning. Medium has a slight kick to it, nothing crazy. Ordered the nuggets with fries $10. Crunchy fries with its own yummy seasoning. It also comes with toast and pickles. The spread tastes like ketchup and mayo. Another condiment good to pair with is honey. Parking is tricky as it is competitive with other businesses Two bathrooms with a code needed Order at cash register or two kiosk Casual indoor seating

    Love coming to this place they take care good care of there Customer always giving to the community.

I ordered chicken breast, and the portions were surprisingly inconsistent. One piece was a reasonable size, while the other was significantly smaller and did not feel like a proper portion. The biggest disappointment was the Caesar salad with salmon. It came with only two very small pieces of salmon--approximately 1.5 ounces total. Honestly, even my cat would have been disappointed with that portion! It genuinely looked like they were down to their last small piece of salmon and divided it between the salad. As someone who is Persian and grew up eating this type of food regularly, I'm very familiar with the flavors, quality, and portions I would expect. Unfortunately, the food this time was well below average, both in taste and value. I would rate the taste about 2/10. It's especially disappointing because I previously enjoyed ordering from Sorta and appreciated having a convenient neighborhood option so close to home. But after two disappointing experiences in a row, I can't justify the price for the portions and quality I received. Sadly, I don't see myself returning. It's very sad that u spend 77$ for lunch for two and not be satisfied

There was a small misunderstanding when I asked about side options, but she quickly explained that another table had the menu and went to grab one for us. She was friendly and helpful throughout the rest of the interaction. The restaurant was clean, which I always appreciate. The atmosphere could use a little improvement, though. It felt a bit stuffy inside, two of the three menu screens weren't working, and it was very quiet with no music playing, which made the dining room feel a little empty. Overall, the food was definitely the highlight and I'd come back for the burgers and loaded tots.

He greeted me with a smile, thanked me for coming in, and even offered me a free bottle of water while I waited. And this was right in the middle of the lunch rush while he was cooking burgers, helping his staff and thanking customers as they left. He took a minute to tell me the restaurant was created in honor of his dad, which I thought was really cool. He also told me about the cassette tapes and his skateboarding days when he was younger. You could tell this place really means something to him. Now let's talk about that burger! I went with the Double with everything on it. Two smashed beef patties, cheese, grilled onions, house sauce, pickles and the rest of the toppings loaded onto a soft bun. The first thing I noticed were those crispy edges on the patties. They were perfect! The beef was smashed super thin on the grill and those edges came out dark, crispy and full of flavor while the middle still had plenty of juiciness. The melted cheese and grilled onions were great with it, and the pickles and house sauce added even more flavor. The bun was soft and lightly toasted, which was perfect with those crispy patties. There are plenty of Smashburger places around here, but this one definitely stood out to me. Between the burger, the atmosphere, the staff and meeting the owner, I had a great first experience. I'll definitely be back!
