We were told that we would be refunded online by the manager. Then we were texted by a representative named Jorge and were told that we'd receive our refund within 3 business days. It has been longer than 3 business days and we still haven't been refunded. read more

My first impression was really great-- the place was clean, staff was helpful, and the food was delicious. It was the aftermath that killed my boyfriend and I. We both got sick. I'm not talking a little tummy-ache. I'll let you imagine the rest. I would not come here again. read more

Don't go here when it's busy! Took me 30 minutes from when i ordered to get my food! Horrible! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fullerton, California

Have came here on 2 separate occasions. I just wanted to talk about how sweet and professional the FOH crew is. Gavin is amazing. Kayleigh is amazing as well. They both know how to keep the orders flowing and keep taking orders at the same time. Food is always hot and fresh. You do not wanna miss out on this location. read more

Update 10/03/25: Dave's Hot Chicken corporate admitted the mistake and promised resolution within 3 business days back on 8/21/25. It's now almost 2 months later and nothing was ever refunded by them. The store's phone is still disconnected. I had to go through my bank to get my money back. This company is dishonest, unprofessional, and unaccountable. Avoid at all costs. read more

Great ambiance, amazing food, and nice service. A must-try for anyone stopping by or living around the area. I went during the busiest hour of the day. People were coming in and out of the place everywhere. I ordered the Dave Meal #1 (medium spice with Mac and cheese) and the Dave's not chicken fried (cheesy fries topped with cauliflower). The tenders were very juicy and the seasoning was a little sweet and salty. It wasn't as spicy as I would have liked it to be, but it was still great with the Dave's Sauce. Mac and cheese was the best I've had. Fries were great, not soggy at all and cauliflower added a good crunch. The pickles were a smart choice to add, since it added a nice refreshing sourness to cut through the salt. Definitely coming back again read more

Dave's is probably my favorite of all the hot chicken chains. Being hungry after work late one night I was pleased so see this Dave's location still open at 10pm. I ordered a single slider and a small chocolate milkshake. Dave's has several choices for spiciness and I chose "mild" and also added cheese to my sandwich. Even though they call them "sliders" the chicken & bun are good sized and plenty for a late night snack. The chicken was tender and moist, seasoned perfectly, and served piping hot. The slaw and pickles add to the overall flavor enjoyment. They make a respectable shake here, thick and tasty. The interior of this one is has only 6 or 7 tables and sparse in decor. The restroom requires a code, which didn't seem to help much as it was a complete mess. As it is in a shopping center there is plenty of stress-free parking. The staff here are exceptionally friendly and I observed them to be quite patient while taking orders. This location of Dave's adds to the chain's consistently good food and service. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - slider - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fullerton, California

The cashier kaylee was very friendly and welcoming explained the menu to me and had a very warm smile

5hours before closing and they couldn't serve me a supposed free sandwich on the app? Very unprofessional I cut my gym time and drove down here just for them to say cutoff for a free sandwich was 9pm and it was 9:05?....why can't they put this on the app so I dont waste my time and energy to get denied, 5hours before closing! Crazy unprofessional by the establishment read more

Is the hype worth it? Yes, of course it is. In terms of cost, all fast food places are more expensive these days. But you'll love this place. read more

Great food and service!! Chris was very helpful! I got the mild sliders would recommend again.

Chris was really nice and helpful for my first time here. The restaurant was clean and music was good. Service was quick as well.

Dave's hot chicken was bomblicious!!!!! A couple of friends recommended this place and well they were right on with this one. I ordered the Dave's #4 Slider with fries. One thing I asked was to not put pickles or give me any pickles. I did request instead of regular fries to have them replaced with cheese fries. You get to chose the level of spicy for your chicken. The fact that the chicken is juicy and not dry like at some places already has eon me over!!! The location is neat to dine in and admire some of the art inside the location. Clean definitely and also have outside seating! The staff is nice and friendly. Definitely will be coming back to try more of their menu. read more

I came here for the first time expecting to experience the hype but it was such a let down. The wait time was crazy for a small order on a Wednesday (1 hour). All this for the food to come out dry and room temp. Completely ruined the experience and I can't say I will come back again. Saw another lady today experiencing the same issue and attempting to get a refund. Save yourself the hassle. They need more or new staff. read more

Ordered food for me and my little brother, I saw our food just sit on the counter for 15minutes before they actually handed it to us, and people who came and ordered after us got theirs before us. overall needs better service. read more

I had horrible customer service the kid at the register is very absent minded not all there I told him I wanted sauces for my food then to me the options let me pay for the food then when I asked for my sauces he said I had to pay for them like he forgot I asked about sauce for my food read more

I guess going on the day they are giving free sliders means everything else was going to be bad. My husband went to pickup the free slider and then got a slider combo too with fries and a drink. Both sliders, the medium and extra hot, were seasoned incorrectly with zero to no spice. The fries were super stale. Sadly we had to throw them out. Very disappointed in our meal this evening. read more

They made me wait 20 min while my food was sitting there in the counter no apologies nothing and the food is cold and tiny little pieces

Chicken was a little dry and too crispy. Services were excellent! Good ambiance for a quick lunch. Fries were served cold. Mac & Cheese was just ok. read more

Tried Dave's hot chicken for the first time. I gotta say the spice levels weren't as intense as I thought it would be. I got a medium and mild. Medium felt more like a mild. So I will for sure get a higher spice level next time. My favorite was the sliders. I'll be back for those for sure. read more

On 12/22/2025 I placed an order through door dash and experienced a biased in delivery time due to tip issues (I gave the minimum )I called and spoke with Jessica to shared a complaint but only to have her hang up on me . I have voice recorded the phone call to highlight the incompetence of the establishment . Terrible service. My efforts will be focus on rectifying this issue via corporate management read more

Delicious Chicken Highly recommended report. Ranch is delicious. Will be back soon to try the reaper Chicken.

Well operating location for the 3rd day being open! There was a line going out the door during Saturday's lunch rush, but it seems the staff are well trained. The front counter is a very awkward: you pick up your order in between the cashier stands, so you'd have to walk in between everybody in line. The food is the same as all the other locations. I opted to order only 2 sliders because the fries here aren't good at all. Selena (Celina?) was a great cashier though, and she successfully upsold me to the combo, and said I could sub the fries for Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese was good, kinda tasted like Popeye's. The only issue I see across all locations is the spice levels. The reaper is amazingly spicy, but it's too much to eat consistently. The extra hot, though, just isn't spicy enough. I'd like to see them improve on their development on the fries & spice levels. The issue at this location: the owners didn't put enough thought into designing the front to improve foot traffic. read more

Hey, NOT BAD! I cant take heat so I got the mild number two and it was tasty. Those pieces of chicken are nice and big and juicy, yum! Fries tasted delicious as well with or without the sauce. Personally I didn't even think the sauce was needed as it was that tasty. Menu is limited but what they do have is great. read more

Came to Dave's for the first time today. I was worried I would have to get extremely spicy chicken. But they have other heat levels too! I got the lite mild chicken slider and fries. The food was amazeballs! I will be coming back because I want to try the Mac and cheese. This place pleasantly surprised me. I'm full. Shouts out to Dave the chicken. read more

Terrible sandwich by the way. Walked in and no one greeted me, everyone just stood there and talked to one another. Took almost 5 mins for someone to take my order just to eat a terrible sandwich. Go anywhere else but here. read more

perfect late night snack;))) i had one slider in hot spicy level very nice employees read more

Drove20 minutes to eat here. Love the food! The extra hot is just perfect amount is spice. Will come again.

It's Drake's bday, I ordered lite mild but they gave me reaper. i felt that heat in my soul. They messed up my order!!

1 slider is filling as is for 1 person. It was a bit too salty tho. The Extra Hot has a nice kick to it. Fries were nice and soft, and seasoned a bit heavy. Service was quick and friendly. Ambience here is kind of small. But there's extra seating outdoors. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - 2 sliders w/ fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fullerton, California

This was a YES for my boyfriend and I. Holy shit! We were both pleasantly surprised by the tasty notes of which Dave's Hot Chicken provided. The service was friendly, the chicken sandwich was served hot, fresh, crispy and was a generous sized chicken. Biting into it had flavors of herbs n spices that were exquisite to my dancing taste buds. The price is reasonable for the times and the menu was very basic with only a few items to choose from. Items that pack a tasty punch. We will definitely go back! read more
