We enjoyed our late lunch at Dave's Hot Chicken in Chino Hills, CA. I ordered the Combo#4 medium sandwich and was delicious! Be sure to add honey to the sandwich. The restaurant was clean and had good customer service. This restaurant location is about a mile away from the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu Temple. A must see!! Check it out! Happy Yelping :) read more

We had a great time at Dave's Hot Chicken. We came to try the new mozz sticks in the different flavors. We got mild, medium, and hot flavors. All of them were tasty and the hot flavor had a kick. We also tried the loaded fries and chicken tenders. All were great! Our favorite thing we got was the fruity pebbles shake. It was sooooo good! The location is right off the freeway. They had lots of seating, inside and outside. The service was good and helpful. Overall it was a good lunch! The pricing is a bit higher than we were expecting (a side of ranch is $4), but it still tasted great! read more

I haven't been to a DHC since moving to the IE but I'm SO glad we went for dinner last night. The restaurant was so bright, clean, and the staff was very friendly. Ordering was super easy on the kiosk and the employees still asked if we needed help and were really nice. We got some sliders, a tender, fries, some saucy bites, and an Oreo shake. Everything was delicious! We brought our pups to do some training and tried to sit outside on the patio (which was very clean btw) but then decided we felt bad because we didn't get anything for them so we took our meal home. Can't wait to come back! read more

Been hesitant to try daves and figured why not since it's fathers day let me treat myself. BIG MISTAKE. I ordered a LARGE popcorn chicken (and other items) and when I opened the box, you can reference the photos. It was HALF FULL. Seriously?? After spending $35 on my entire meal, for me to receive this is just pathetic and disappointing. Probably will never eat here again. #travesty read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chino Hills, California

The good: tender, juicy moist and great flavors. The bad: undercooked and some pieces were still raw in the center. Dave's undercooked the chicken to make it juicy and moist and tasty but at the dire expense of having some of the pieces being raw in the center. We got 4 pieces and 2 of them were raw in the middle and I had to put it through the air fryer at home to recook them. Scary! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Slider, oops I took a bite first before photo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Been here a couple of times and usually it has been pretty good, both the food and customer service. But this time the food in particular was a bit lacking. I got the smallest tenders I have ever seen and its really dry too. read more

Great chicken and great service! Been a huge fan of Dave's for a few years now and this location stands out. Tenders were huge and tasted amazing. Recommend going with a medium or mild if you don't want too much of a kick. Restaurant was clean and very well maintained. Staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure you had everything you need! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Two Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chino Hills, California

The place is clean with plenty of seating. Service was quick and friendly. The food we ordered were cauliflower bites - medium spice and the two piece tenders and fries. Cauliflower was crunch and I could have gone one step higher in spice level. They are a touch greasy outside and you get messy red fingers but in general good consistency and flavor. The tenders, same on spice level but what we didn't care for was the texture of the coating. The actual chicken was moist and tender but the spice counting is sandy. Did not care for it. Ordered cheese on the fries, it was$1.50 extra and they barely drizzled any. Not worth the price bump. Server kindly haves us a small side of cheese when we brought the issue to his attention. Food was fine but not good enough to drive out of our way for it. read more

Small scoop of fries for $4.00 (not including tax) Smallest scoop of Mac n cheese for 4.50?! (Not including tax) - Didn't even fill up my 1 year old daughter And they put nearly no coleslaw on my sliders. The cashier said they go by scoops that they have and cannot do anything about it. Very disappointed on the amounts they charge for the little portions they give. read more

Took my family here on Halloween, we were hungry and wanted to try a new Nashville spicey sliders. We got the $65 box with 10 sliders, it does not include ANY Sauces, no ranch, no dipping sauce of any kind. You gotta pay extra for that. We also got the family fries because the $65 box doesn't include any. We order them to dine in, as we've seen to go orders restaurants usually cheap out. We waited for our food and the lady ended up packing it to go, I told her we had said to dine in, she said she "oh sorry". Whatever we just took everything out of the bag and just sat on a table and ate. The sliders were good but they cheaped out on the sauce, no ranch or any sort of dipping sauce included, no napkins either. The fries were half way full, $12 family fries the size to feed only two people. We tried the reaper, even if you like spicey I don't recommend getting it, it'd just the spiciest thing you ever tasted and you will have a stomach ache, and you won't be able to taste any flavor in it. The place is nice and colorful, but overpriced and they go cheap on you, I spent about $100 and they refused to offer dipping sauces. I had to pay another $5 for ranch. The flavor was good, but I won't be coming back due to over price food, cheap out on the fries and no dipping sauces included. read more

we've been here twice in the past couple weeks and my fam and i agree that the spicy chicken is delish! we've tried regular, mild and hot flavors, all tasting great. We enjoy the seasoned crinkle fries as well! The urban feel of the wall art is pretty cool, and having a piece representing the city of chino is pretty awesome of them service has been friendly and pretty timely so far. We're definitely customers now! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - The bites - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Some days really good, other days so bad that I just have to it throw away. I always get the 2 mild chicken sandwich with fries combo and have to say it is a hit or miss when it comes to taste. The sandwiches some days are perfectly seasoned and crunchy to the bite... but other days the chicken tastes super wet with no flavor. As for service and interior, it's a standard fast food restaurant. Nothing too crazy. Overall even though it's inconsistent, I still find myself occasionally craving this as a midnight meal. read more

Honestly as a vegetarian, I had low hopes for liking their new veg option, but the cauli slider with cheese added on is so good and flavorful. Definitely would come back. My husband, who's not vegetarian, enjoyed his tenders and sliders. The only drawback is that on certain days, theres only one person out front and waiting for your pickup order will take a lot od time. Will definitely be back! read more

I was here on a Friday night to get a dinner for my son. We usually go to the one in the West Covina area. We are so glad to have one close to home. When I got there, It was quite busy with lots of cramped employees working in the kitchen. There were lots of to go order , DoorDash, and etc. I purchased to go meal through the kiosk as the line was too long. Ordered Light mild chicken slider with mac and cheese Medium spice tender bites and side of fries. I wanted to join the loyalty program so I asked the employee on how to add the bar code into the apps as it is not allowing me to scan the barcode. It kept saying I am too far away. As of today, I am still not able to add the rewards even I can't add the barcodes manually. Customer service was okay as they forgot to give me the drink and apologized. The ambiance is cool. Overall, the meal was good. L read more

This place is horrible, doesn't work with customers and the clerk doesn't care to even try taking orders. Way over priced for the bs you'll face walking in. To start there is no mild spice limit and when asking about modifications don't even bother trying. They are all uptight acting like they can't reduce the amount of powder on the tenders. Legit so rude and not even considerate to even ask or try when asking for something and they did just that. Been wanting to try this place and regret it entirely. I'll never be back in my life time congratulations on losing a customer that's around ur businesses daily! 0/5 if I could cheers! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Looks great! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chino Hills, California

I've been a longtime customer of the West Covina location ever since they opened. I can safely say the quality and size of the food at the new location hasn't been sacrificed. The tenders are just as delicious, succulent, hot as effing hell as always. If anything, the tenders were just a bit larger here. The fries with the Cajun seasoning were just as perfect a side as ever as well. I also thought the location was a bit nicer. It always bugged me how tight the parking was at the other location and just how crowded it was at all hours. This new one seems to be bigger, the tables more well-spaced, and they even have a patio for overflow. West Covina never had a patio for such emergencies. I think Dave's Hot is a fast rising fast casual chain. It's nice to see that they're improving their ambience with each new spot without sacrificing any of the quality that made their food rock even while it's reducing you to flop sweat and tears because of the heat. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Leave you where I found you I figured you out New Location Extra Hot () 2 Tender Combo from #DavesHotChicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Always a fan favorite at our house. The two slider combo is huge, so we typically like to share it and order an extra side of fries. The chicken is always perfectly seasoned and very flavorful even if you don't get it spicy. We typically get just a plain chicken tenders for our daughter with the fries which she loves. Sometimes the batter can be a little too much for her and a little too crunchy but for us, we're not complaining haha. Every time we've gone, it's been pretty packed, but the service has always been excellence and the food comes out really fast when we order it to go. read more

The food was decent and well cooked. To my surprise I saw that they added a AI robot making French fries now. However it was well cooked and couldn't complain about that. when it comes to the service of the establishment the crew was very friendly and was on point with everything. They really know how to get the food out fast and hot. The restaurant itself was clean and the ambiance was well lit. There wasn't anything that I can point out that would have raised an eye brow. Over all I would say that this place was very good and would probably go back to it in the near future. Their chicken was great and adding a bit of extra heat really helps out with it. I would recommend trying out their chicken sandwiches and other options as well. read more

This place is clean and well-maintained. You place your order through a self-service kiosk, which is simple and efficient. The food is fantastic, and I loved that you can choose your preferred spice level for the chicken sandwich or chicken strips. Although orders are placed at the kiosk, there's a staff member who calls out names as the orders are ready. Axel, one of the staff members, stood out, he was incredibly friendly and even helped me carry part of my order to my table. I really appreciated his kindness and assistance. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely come back! read more

So I decided to check out Dave's Hot Chicken in Chino Hills today! The place was clean and cool inside. I ordered the 10 piece Dave's Bites medium spice level. The employee also gave me some honey and Dave's sauce. The bites were fresh and pretty filling, the sauce and the honey went really well with the chicken as well! Solid experience for sure. read more

(March 7/25) When arriving to this establishment, despite it being a busy lunch time for the area, there is good amount of parking. The location is easy to spot from the street and from the parking lot. The ambiance is quite nice as it is filled with custom artistic designs from a local artist. (There's a picture with his handle below) Looking at the tables available, there was a numerous amount of options that could serve a variety of groups. They have two and four tops for the most part as well as two eight tops within the middle of the dining area; one of them being a high top table. The bigger tables have stool type chairs instead of the ones with back support so be mindful of that if you're looking for that type of comfort. The place looked rather clean and maintained while I was there. When there was a free moment, the MOD took the time to clean the tables to ensure that the dining area would continue to be inviting to guests. Food: I ordered Dave's #2 meal which contains two sliders with fries and is served with kale slaw, pickles and Dave's sauce. To my surprise, I was able to order the sandwiches with different spice options. I ordered both mild and medium heat levels; one for each sandwich. I also ordered an additional option of getting cheese on the sandwiches as well as opting in for cheese on the fries. These additions cost $0.69 cents for each sandwich and an additional $1.50 for the fries. I also opted in to try a side of their Hot Hot Honey sauce for an additional $0.50 cent charge. Just be mindful that these little additions could add up if you're with a bigger group. When my number was called I proceeded to get my order from the order pickup section. I was given ketchup and a side of honey as a complementary addition to my meal. As displayed in the picture, you can see the meal is presented well. The pieces of fried chicken were bigger than I expected them to be and that was quite the nice surprise. The kale slaw was crunchy and you could tell it was made fresh. The cheese though wasn't what I thought it would be. I should have asked if it was a cheese slice on the onset; but to my surprise it was a nacho cheese type of sauce that was put on the bottom bun of the sandwich. The sandwich also included fresh dill pickle chips as well as a set of sliced chips as seen in the picture. The fries unfortunately didn't have the cheese sauce on top of them and was served to me incorrectly. An issue I'll talk about in the next portion of this review concerning the "Service" Despite that, once I was able to receive the cheese for my fries, I enjoyed them while putting the Hot Hot honey on top of them which added an sweet and little spicy kick to the fries. The side Dave's sauce was quite tasty as well. It was akin to a 1000 island type of sauce. To also add, the chicken was seasoned well with solid breading and tasted quite juicy all the way through. It was delicious to say the least. Service: Because my order came out wrong, I was initially going to give this review a four star review, but because of the exceptional courtesy and customer service of Rene the MOD, I opted in to give it a five star review. When he came around the dining area to do his rounds of checking in, I was able to tell him of my dilemma. He was quick to react to it with an apology and a quick response turnaround in making sure my fries had the cheese sauce on them. When he has asked me if everything was okay, I had mentioned that I wished I had gotten a bit more cheese on the fries. He responded in kind by giving me an additional side of the cheese sauce to satiate that desire. It was his response time and professional courtesy that got me to enjoy my meal and my experience eating there even more so. Thank you Rene for serving me today and for creating a better experience for me to enjoy. I would recommend you check out this place for yourself and enjoy some solid fried chicken. --Derrek with 2Rs read more

Trying this hot chicken everyone talking about. We ordered 3 heat levels no spice, mild & med spice. What we loved the most was the chicken quality was great all white meat, tender inside & crispy on outside. Plus they make it fresh to order, literally was steaming hot, so hot we had wait a bit before biting into it. Also the size of the tenders are huge! The fries were crispy, the sauce on the side delish, & the pickles are tasty too. Unlimited beverages is a def plus too. Service was fast. Plenty of indoor seating. Need to use a lot of napkins to clean the red spices off your fingers. Portions are big and price was good for the amount of food they give. Def coming back. read more

Dave's used to be my go-to local chicken sandwich shop but since having been bought out by Roark Capital (Subway owner), this establishment's quality has gone down HARD. It is super noticeable. The veg is now wilted and dead, the chicken is a lot smaller and often times overcooked to heck and tasteless. Get your sh1t together or go broke. read more

Tried this place for the first time. Did not care for it at all tbh. We got the plain, mild, and hot sliders. The plain was just that, plain. No salt or any flavor. The mild and hot just had dry seasoning on it that tasted like chamoy. I was thinking it would be spicy like a buffalo style spice. Did not like the taste. Fries again were plain no seasoning to them. Big portions of chicken but no drink with combos and didn't care for it. Location is clean though and big chicken portions so added another star read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Sorry, we ate it too fast. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chino Hills, California

I went to Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time on August 8th, 2025, and I will definitely come back to this place. Especially this location. The lady who served me, Angie, was the sweetest person. I have plans to eat somewhere else this coming Friday, but I am considering switching it back to Dave's Hot Chicken just to see Angie again. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, not too salty at all like many other places, and they were so tender and juicy. I only got the medium spice level because I wasn't sure what to expect, but I will be trying the hot spice level next time. Portions were great for the prices and there was practically no wait time for the food, even at lunch time. read more
