    Mozzarella sticks
    Arlene G.

    I used to visit Dave's when they were operating in the parking lot. Food now is good but they almost are always out of some of their popular items. Service is good and seating area is great with a lot of space. I wish they would always have their mozzarella sticks available

    Honestly pretty good competitor in the chicken and fry game. I appreciate the range of spice level as they have several options. The sliders are better than the tenders as I do think the tender meal/fries are a little bland overall, you do need the sauce. But the slider with kale slaw is delicious and I would get again. Mac and cheese is very regular nothing special. side note: ordered on doordash. would recommend to go in person as i noticed after they upcharge a lot for the meal compared to other places. food did come fast and still warm however!

    definitely someone else's order

    I ordered on uber eats the meal with a sandwich and a tender and french fries and I received something completely different...my orders are always missing something when ordering through delivery I don't know how or why this keeps happening please do better dave's

    2 slider n fries combo (mild)

    Late to the game, but Dave's is a solid hot chicken. Went with mild, and definitely no heat. Could probably handle the hot level for my next visit. Online order was quick and easy, and pick up time was spot on. Portions were good for the sliders, but could use some more fries in the tray. Everything was nice a crispy. Fries were well seasoned with a nice crunch. Chicken as also well seasoned, bun was nice and sweet. The crunchy pickles were also on point. Could've used some more Coleslaw in the slider. Overall, good experience. Will come back and again.

    The chicken tested very good but I ordered mild is you see it my order and got super hot chicken and it's not my favorite and my wife couldn't eat it you cocked the chicken at onceand I did connect on line and didn't get help I just spent 36 $ on food couldn't even eat

    This is my son's favorite chicken snack! Their chicken are tender and flavorful. Their mac and cheese is also good.

    I had a horrible experience today. I'm making it very clear that I am upset and was asking for a refund, not excuses. Instead of addressing my request, the lady tried to calm me down by saying "everything is OK, let me get you your fries," and then quickly walked away as I was asking for a refund. By that point, I had already driven home and had to drive back. I was in no mood -- I expect my food hot and served together, not hot fries with a cold or "warm" sandwich. If they wanted to make it right, they should have either refunded me or at least given me the choice of a refund with the food. Don't try to convince me everything is OK when it clearly isn't. The mistake was on their end, and instead of owning up to it, there was no accountability. I spent $22 and expected a decent experience, not frustration. To make things worse, this isn't the first time -- the past three times, something has gone wrong with my order. Three strikes and you're out. I ended up leaving my food, upset and hungry. Now I'll be taking my business elsewhere. For $7 at Del Taco, I can get three tacos without all this hassle

    Bread

    All the Dave's locations are not the same... For the past few months, I have tried multiple different DHC locations (Glendale, Rosemead, Little Tokyo), and they've all changed, not in a good way. Their chicken used to be full of meat, but now the tenders are becoming more like crispy skin. They're getting closer to KFC quality, which should be taken as an insult because Dave's used to be way better. It's getting crispier, less meaty, and more greasy. Also, they seem to be acting stingy again with the seasoning. The Extra Hot just tastes like Hot. Not as flavorful as it used to be. Too bad DHC can't be one of my few pregnancy cravings. I've given them many chances to bounce back but they seem to be cutting corners. It's not even worth the money at this point. Refer to the photos for greasy bread and an unseasoned Extra Hot Tender.

    Great food but bad service I was refused a cup of water with my order!!! They make make buy a soda cup,Stefani need more customer Service training..Also I order 3 combos and I only was provided with two Dave Hot sauces adicional will have a $$$ 4-12 4:30 pm

    Skimpy fries, this business has changed drastically

    Tenders are nasty soggy. No care for quality. These are supposed to be crunchy but I guess they only do it right for "influencers" (wtf is an influencer lol). Big time rip off these days. If I'm paying $5 for a 2oz tender, it better be perfect. It's not even beef lmfao chicken is cheap AF. Never been the same since their Hollywood location. Bye Felicia

    One of the few late night joints open in the area and a great alternative if you want fast food and don't want to brave the super fisted lines at In-N-Out. Although the drive through here is a bit bizarre, since it's behind the building and it's not a stand alone fast food restaurant, I don't think... Eclectic décor (rubber chicken in a UFO crashed into the corner of the ceiling) and a good crowd of people even in the later evening hours, you can easily see how many people enjoy Dave's. We ordered ahead literally less than 10 minutes before arriving there and it was ready within me waiting 5 minutes there. Super efficient service. We got the Combo #1 that comes with 2 tenders (you can customize the spiciness of each tender) with fries. It comes with a slice of bread, pickles, and their Dave's Sauce (reminiscent of every creamy tangy orange sauce you can get at most hot chicken places). I ordered mild and medium hot and I'm really glad that I did because that medium hot was breaching the points of almost burning my mouth, panting while eating. Chicken was moist enough and the mild was yummy and had a nice heat. I'm sure if I ordered anything hotter than that it would have been completely inedible. Overall not bad!

    Dave's Hot Chicken has really good Nashville Hot Chicken! We ordered the strips and the sandwich, and they were both fantastic. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the spice was delicious. The service was great, and everyone was very helpful.

    I really love Dave's but this particular location has a consistency issue when ordering from Ubereats. Some days they'll forget to add your drink. Some days they don't put the side of pickles in the order. Some days the chicken is really dry or smaller in size on other days. Today: no pickles and skimpy chicken.

    Is there a certain Dave's locationthat is better than another? I know they're all essentially the same but want the best experience possible.. thank you

    The OG east Hollywood location is the best. The others are just as good but if you want the best OG experience go there

    My quest to find another great burger spot led me to a little corner eatery in South Glendale. The…read morebranding here is bright and lively...kind of a mixture of pop art and anime. Inside is clean and spacious. Menu offers mainly smash burgers and chicken items, along with various sides. Prices are decent. Ordered the following: - Double-double wagyu smash up combo - 8.5/10: superb smash burger. Decadent, flavorful, what sets this burger apart is that they use wagyu beef patties and fry them in butter. Lots of it. Every bite is going to be juicy. If there was a comparable, I'd probably say Shake Shack's smash burger. It's about the same size and has the same soft bun. But Cluck's blows it away. Easily. - Fries - 8.5/10: seasoned extremely well, these are extra crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Comes with two dips of their burger sauce and ketchup. By the way, their sauce is excellent. Most burger sauces are too tarty. Theirs are well-balanced with some heat. - Six piece wings - 8/10: dry rubbed. Got these in mild. There are higher levels of heat, of course. These were perfectly fried and damn tasty. This really is good food and this spot should be way more popular than it is. I had lunch here on a Monday and there was hardly anyone there, sadly. I suspect it could he the location as it sits on a corner of a super busy intersection that makes it not easily accessible.

I decided Howlin Rays deserved my attention. There was already a line in place and they were playing some good music from the restaurant. When it came time for me to order, Ryan at the counter was very friendly to me. Everyone in the restaurant was. I really enjoyed that. I stuck with getting the mild sando, and didn't expect the chicken breast so gigantic! It was a delicious sandwich and the spice was pretty good. I'm glad I didn't go any spicier than that. I ordered the fries which were actually pretty good. They were definitely seasoned, but they weren't heavily in taste sense. They had something for me to drink and it went really well with a meal actually. I'm glad that I could say that I enjoyed this place from beginning to end.

    I wasn't expecting to be this impressed, but every single thing we ordered exceeded expectations…read more The Gaucho Bowl was outstanding. The chicken breast was incredibly juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. What really made the bowl special was how many fresh toppings it came with. The sweet corn, flavorful kale, fresh tomato salsa, and perfectly seasoned garbanzo beans each brought something different to the dish, so every bite had a little variety. It never felt repetitive, and every ingredient elevated the bowl to the next level. The crispy pita and hummus were another highlight. The pita had a satisfying crunch, and the hummus wasn't the usual plain version. It was topped with a blend of flavorful spices that added depth and made it seriously addictive. We also ordered the quarter dark chicken, which came with two very generous sides. Both the regular fries and sweet potato fries were hot, crispy, and seasoned perfectly. What impressed me most was that every component of the meal was thoughtfully prepared. Nothing felt like an afterthought. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh and healthy, and the seasoning was spot on from start to finish. It's rare to find a place where even the kale, garbanzo beans, and side dishes are memorable, but Girl & the Chicken pulled it off. If I'm back in Burbank, this will definitely be one of my first stops.
