    Hot Chicken Slider with Fries
    Stephanie T.

    Dave's has the best hot chicken sandwiches I've ever had! It's so disappointing to me that I didn't know about it for so long but I'm glad to have one close to home that's in a plaza with a big parking lot. My hubby and I typically share their combo with the two sandwiches and fries. I get mine medium since I'm terrible with spice, but it wasn't too spicy for me. It had the right amount of flavor and the chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. I also absolutely love their sauce! I couldn't stop dipping the fries into it. We don't typically order at the cashier since they have a kiosk but it doesn't take long for orders to come out. We only waited about five minutes for our last visit! This is a great place for relatively inexpensive, but quality chicken sandwiches.

    Two Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries and a side of Mac & Cheese. The Dave's sauce is really good too!

    We were going to have a quick picnic at the park nearby so my husband and I got the two tenders combo and a side of mac and cheese to share. Since we've never had Dave's before we got mild. It had a lot of flavor for a mild! The seasoning on the fries was good too, definitely made them more interesting than plain ones. The mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy. Service was super fast and it was at lunch time. Fun decorated spot too. Will come back and try spicier levels next time for sure.

    Daves Mini Sliders w/ Fries

    A lot of people have been hyping this place up, so i finally had the chance to try it out at lunch with some coworkers on a Sunday. This place did get busy, but there is both indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was friendly and quick with ordering. They give you a buzzer that lets you know when your food is ready for pickup at the counter. Food: I ordered the mini sliders with fries and the strawberry lemonade slushie. After all the hype i heard, I personally felt it was just too much dry seasoning on this chicken. Beware: the serving portions are pretty large if you order one of the main menu items, so i would recommend sharing. Many in my group could not finish all their food and even agreed they should have just shared. There's different spice flavors to the chicken. I ordered medium for my mini slides and felt it wasn't even that spicy for my taste buds. If you don't want to eat a ton of food or take a to-go box, I'd say the 4 Mini-sliders with fries is the perfect amount of food for one person, but don't expect large pieces of chicken in the sliders. All in all, this is a convenient lunch spot to stop into. Do I need to go out of my way to eat it? Probably not. Will most likely only visit again if a group of friends or coworkers wants to go, but probably won't venture far off to have it on my own.

    First off, it looks very much like a chicken place but the artwork was cooler and more streetstyle artsy with graffiti. The workers helped me out quick and had me try the HOT flavor since ive never been, very courteous. Tables and restaurant were clean. Food was good. If you can handle mango habanero from wingstop, then you can do the HOT flavor fine. I got the bites medium and I wish I got the HOT instead. Dave's sauce was good, no idea what it is but it works.

    Yelp warning about recent reviews from the company
    Brit B.

    usually have a great experience at this location, especially when the store manager is there. She's always professional, warm, and genuinely seems to enjoy her job. I've even told her multiple times how refreshing it is to see someone always in good spirits -- she truly sets the tone when she's on shift. Unfortunately, this review isn't about her -- it's about the assistant manager, who has rubbed me the wrong way more than once. The first issue happened when my daughter asked for an extra sauce and was met with unnecessary attitude. I wasn't there at the time, but when I showed up shortly after and heard what happened, I wasn't happy. Fast forward about three weeks, and I ran into the same assistant manager again. Today, I asked her if she was the same person who had that issue with my daughter, and she said clearly -- "Yes, I am," like she remembered it perfectly. Whether there's a new policy or if certain "rules" are only enforced with certain customers, I don't know -- but the energy from her feels off. It's enough to make me reconsider how often I come here, especially when it's clear not all guests are treated the same. I hope this gets addressed, because the food is great and the store manager deserves better support around her. Yelp also has this warning so for such a good establishment it makes me wonder why does such warning need to be shown for such a good establishment. I've only had bad experiences with this one particular person ever.

    Great ambiance and ample parking. It's quite busy even around 8-9pm. The sauce is good and the cauliflower fried pieces weren't soggy at all and the crispiness was on point. Sort of have to be careful when you take a bite because it sort of falls apart ever slightly more easily than as compared to the chicken pieces (as expected). Highly recommend. Would come back to try other dishes!

    Tender with slider and fries
    Frank L.

    This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and it did not disappoint. A couple months prior to this I tried another chicken spot that everyone was raving about their sauce and bread roll. If you know, you know. I left there disappointed because everything was just average. So stepping in here my expectations was not super high. My first impression is thank god I don't have to wait 45 minutes to an hour for some fried chicken. The restaurant had 2 easy self order kiosk and the employees are there to take your order as well. That's the easy part. I recommend getting the slider and tender combo if you're indecisive about what to get. The wait time for our order wasn't too bad either. Perhaps around 10 minutes. I must say out of all the fast food chicken spots I've been to, this one's got the best seasoning. The medium spice level for both the tender and slider was not that hot. But the seasoning on the chicken was perfect even without the sauce. It's got a nice sweetness, tang and tinnie tiny kick at the end. It taste even better with the sauce and even the honey. The chicken was tender and crispy on both the slider and tender. The crinkle fries was hot and crispy as well. Overall, food was delicious and food delivery was prompt. Plenty of parking in the plaza. I'll definitely be back for more.

    Cost. Tip was requested  but you can also order via machine making the tip awkwardness less awkward.

    Quick, lively. The hot is hot! They medium first. No frills. Just good *fast food*. The sauce isn't anything special. The chicken is tender. Fries quite salty. Nice change from a burger.

    Single Tender comes with bread and pickles
    Christine L.

    I'm addicted to Dave's Hot chicken. I usually get Medium or Hot spice level and feel it is slightly inconsistent. Sometimes the Hot is really hot and sometimes it's more like Medium. Overall though, so good! I like how the single slider comes with a piece of bread so you can make it like a simple sandwich and the pickles are always crunchy and taste somewhat fresh compared to other fast food. Even though it's fast food it does taste a bit elevated. Services is usually really quick and easy. I don't like how there's no option to tip outside of dollar increments. Restrooms have always been pretty clean and lots of seating!

    Stopped in for lunch on our way to Oakland airport. Chicken sounded good and Dave's didn't disappoint. Ordered the mild and could have gone hot. Excellent service. Tables outside! Food was hot and delicious. Dave's sauce is yummy.

    $18.00 Chicken Tender Meal ...lol!!!!

A quick check showed Mirchi Cafe a few hundred feet away, which made me so happy because anyone who's had the Nashta(breakfast) plate there will tell you that's it's an excellent way to break your fast. I went in and got the plate but they were out of Shami (the meat patties), so I had to make do with potato patties. The plate comes with two eggs cooked your way or as an omelet, a whole wheat flatbread , two meat or potato patties and Chai. It was super hot today and the inside could have been cooler temperature wise, but all was forgotten as soon as the plate of food and tea appeared before me(which was quick btw). Paratha (flatbread) was great texture wise and the omelet was also fluffy and flavorful. The potato patties were incredibly crunchy on the outside and perfectly spiced and soft on the inside. The chai was so good it should have its own review. All in all what a great first meal to a whole day of fasting. Restaurent was clean and the restroom and its floors were just wiped down when I went to use it. Shaukat who took my order was super nice and friendly, and the other guy who brought my food over was also efficient and polite.
