    This Dave's Hot Chicken get a 3! Food was good. Service was lacking big time and they really need to step up their cleaning game! The inside is a hot mess! Almost every table was dirty AF!

    Came here on a Sunday. Not a great deal of parking but people are moving in and out quickly. There's a lot of space inside and outside to eat. It's clean inside and quiet. Their bathrooms are clean too. Service was great . They have a screen that lets you know when your food is ready, pretty helpful. I ordered 2 meals with 2 sliders, fries and mac, hot and medium in heat level. I also ordered the mini sliders in reaper . Food was hot, chicken was delicious as always. Hot is pretty hot, but not unbearable, medium is just right for me. The reaper on the other hand, you better have some ice/milk on hand, because it's NO JOKE. I love spicy and hot food, but it'll make you cry. Only down side is the meals don't come with a drink. I absolutely love their chicken and would recommend to everyone.

    I happened to be in Fontana and stopped by this Dave's hot chicken because I was craving spicy southern fried chicken with that honey glaze. I kept the spice level at a medium, because even though I can handle hot, I'm trying to enjoy my meal. I topped it all off a small order of mac & cheese and some fries on the side. Dave's hot chicken is my go to for fried chicken sandwiches open late. The chicken meat itself is of excellent quality, halal. I really appreciate the customer care and service that I was given at this location.

    Check please.

    Much improved from my first visit to a Dave's hot chicken on SD. I stumbled on this location on our way to an appointment at Kaiser. There is outside seating, the inside has a corner window with a view of the traffic. The bathrooms need codes to get into but that's fair these days for a fast food place. The girl at the counter was lovely, she assisted with the menu and we discussed the heat options for myself and my son. We got a combo slider and tender, Dave's bites, an extra tender and a oreo shake. Surprisingly, this was more than enough food for myself and a teenager. The Dave's sauce was a good addition to the juicy bites and tenders. Crinkle cut fries are not usually my favorite but these were fresh and delicious. I really enjoyed them dipped in the sauce. Our favorite flavor was the of the mild bites and the medium was spicy, in a good way. Requesting a sampler platter offer with each heat to try would be fun. We wanted to try them all in small bites!

    Still the best chicken sandwich! Also, the window that faces the intersection is perfect. Great view of the bustling city of Fontana. The staff here are friendly and that is key due to the business of this location. Having great food is half the battle. People aren't taught kindness. Leilani is exceptional worker! Goes above and beyond. When something is requested, she's on it. Not everyday do you experience a positive attitude in the workforce and she exemplifies this. Part of the reason why customer keeps going back. The entire experience is overall great and comes back full circle.

    I went here today and the food was HORRIBLE. I do not recommend this place, the chicken has TOO MUCH SEASONING the fries or pretty good tho. The wait time is not worth it and it's too expensive for 10 tenders is 50$ i do not recommended Daves hot chicken at all!

    Fries were half full

    Food was good but they will skimp on portion. Got a 2 slider meal, fires were half full and one of the sandwiches had barely any slaw. Might just be this location idk but it was a horrible first experience for daves.

    Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries

    I recently went to this location and this was actually my first time trying Dave's! Unfortunatelyit wasn't so good when while I was waiting for my order a fight broke out and it was between an older gentleman and one of the staff, which they were recording each other. The environment was pretty neat where everything was clean but that was a mood killer. The wait time took around 20 minutes, which was also not that great. The food however, was outstanding, where the chicken was extremely juicy and I enjoyed it well.

    Love Dave's Hot Chicken! Their chicken tenders are sooo juicy and good! Even the nonspicy option was actually very flavorful for the weaker spice tolerance people like myself. The slider is also so good and definitely recommended! The fries were also seasoned well!

The spice levels are legit too--not one of those places where "hot" isn't actually hot. I've tried a couple different things on the menu and everything's been solid, especially with the sides. Nothing feels rushed or low quality. It actually tastes like they care about what they're putting out. Also gotta mention the staff--they've always been cool and welcoming, which makes a difference. It's just a good vibe overall whether you're eating there or taking it to go. Not gonna lie, I catch myself craving this place randomly now. Definitely worth trying if you're into hot chicken.

The sandwich is decent, chicken is juicy but was very bland even with the cole slaw and sauce. Fries were all over the place, some looked fresh, some looked like they had been recooked a few times. They were also insanely bland, no seasoning at all. The mac & cheese is well, terrible. I don't think there is any real cheese in it at all. It's very watery and honestly a box of Kraft is better and cheesier. I paid 75 cents for a side of sauce and didn't even receive it. My order was not complicated so not sure how that was overlooked. This place has work to do to improve quality. Will not be returning.

    Reading some of the previous reviews gave me a chuckle. What do you mean it was too cold inside?…read moreYou're about to stuff your face over an open fire grill. Don't want to be sweating while you're eating. Coming from highland/redlands, I am happy that there is a ayce kbbq spot in close proximity. Starting with cons: the parking is absolutely terrible. Parking spots are cramped and there's simple not enough spaces, especially during peak times. Pros: now as a long time ayce bbq lover, I understand that red castle quality is not top tier and I don't expect it to be when I go. I view red castle as an affordable joint to get my brisket and beef belly fix, which are the only two items that I basically get. It's odd reading about others experience with service, because every time I go, the service is always fast. I don't need to ask for the grill change because they are fully staffed and consistently checking in. Sure, the hospitality could improve a little but realize what you're going in there for. To stuff ya face! If you're coming here and comparing this place to other kbbq joints, you'll surely be let down. But to enjoy ayce protein for ~25 bucks without having to clean and prep a solid meal, many would realize the true gem that is Red Castle. I remember when their ayce was 13-15 bucks when they opened. Those were the days. I'm also glad that they allow single dining during the week. Not something that I'm able to take advantage of most of the time bc of work but I'm glad it's offered. To all the kbbq snobs (I'm one of them still). Go pay 40 for ayce somewhere else and be happy. Red castle is my go to for a quick fix that is close to home and affordable.

I wouldn't call this place BEST in the IE even if call it a place that's somewhat budget friendly in addition to a service fees and adding on the tip for service that's bare minimum. Quality of meats very fatty & poor & the ban chan (side dishes) are extremely overly saturated with sauce and Kim chi that wasn't fresh it was more on the SOUR and just disgusting in flavor , texture and color it doesn't seem Authentic if you know the difference of real Kim chi from other restaurants. Made several attempts to flag our server which seemed flustered and overwhelmed just for ordering extra meats and replenishing our beverages was such a huge in convenience. For KBBQ definitely in this order I'd say .. local restaurants I'd rather go to Wang Cho in riverside or chino hills U grille 2 spots in Rancho Cucamonga and As far as ayce self serve Koreana grille Riversde . If you wanna travel out hit up Orange County , Rowland heights , LA , SGV for the real deal . Would i dine here again , negative it's disgusting and poor quality of meats very fatty and rubbery texture and ban chan & soups that aren't authentic this restaurant is catered to a particular budget demographic and everything isn't just poor quality. Eating kbbq is more than just eating meat & drinkin beer .. Realistically but do what you wanna do ..

However, I heard that baby goat was even healthier than chevon so I decided to purchase about a kilo. I made a fry with it (pictured below) and I was blown away by the quality of the meat. Despite being leaner than its older counterpart, it was still extremely tender and it didn't have much of the chewy connective tissue and silver skin that older goat has. It was also extremely mild and absorbed spices incredibly well and, as a result, the fry felt just like a restaurant style pulao or biryani. Highly recommend and definitely worth the price.

They do accept credit/debit and EBT for meat purchases and prices for most cuts are written clearly across the place.

One thing I noticed was I definitely seemed to get more per pound than what I would get at some other butcher shops which now makes me wonder if those other guys are cheating the scales! I'm really glad I found this place. As for the bad reviews... it is really sad to see that competitors post fake reviews without any real basis.
