    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!

    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.

    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!

    I took a friend to Dave's for lunch today and boy did I regret it! It was the first time we visited Dave's, we had an Awesome cashier Diana that explained all 100 questions to us and even showed us some of the food... I wanted to like this place but here we go! I ordered the 2 slider combo which was a whopping $18.99 Friend ordered a slider with a chicken tender combo $12.99 ALL the chicken taste Burnt with a oily aftertaste, the French fries where below average, the Bread on the tender seems like they picked up the cheapest bread at a corner market, the sauce was a clear BAD Imitation of Canes. The chicken sandwiches are small. The amount of Coleslaw they give you is a joke. Why even give it to me? I had a friend warn me about how bad It was to me but I wanted to try it out for myself. This is clearly a BAD attempt to copy Canes but this is just my opinion... Maybe one day I will go try it again to update me review/

    I've been here a few times now and honestly it's become one of my go-to spots. The chicken is…read morealways super crispy on the outside and still juicy inside, which is hard to get consistently but they do it right every time. 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.

    Been wanting to try this place for a while. I'm a huge Chubby's fan so that is the bar…read more I ordered a #1 combo medium (2 sandwiches and fries) a side of habibi sauce and a side of mac & cheese. 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.
