    Large Top-Loaded Spicy Buffalo Mac
    Mary D.

    We were in the area and have heard a few different things about Dave's and decided to grab some food. We ordered online and drove by for pickup. Thankfully, the food was ready quickly, although there was a bit of a wait from the customer ahead of us. Looking inside, it wasn't the cleanest with trash over a bunch of tables, but hopefully it's just from a busy day from earlier. We took our order home and were very happy to open our boxes. The loaded Mac and fries were very full, and I especially enjoyed the amount of sauce added. It was just enough with the Mac and cheese to keep things saucy and not dry, but not too overwhelming. We didn't realize it would be Mac and cheese and chicken on top of fries, though. We thought it would only be loses on Mac and cheese. This was a pleasant surprise! The sliders were a big highlight for me. I got mild and my husband got hot, and they were perfect. The mild had just a subtle and slight kick with tons of seasoning and flavor. The hot had a creeping spice that hit a bit after, which was nice. We really enjoyed the quality of the chicken. They were large pieces and we had a good amount of pickles and slaw, making a great slider. The fries were also seasoned perfectly, adding great flavor to each crunch. My husband is a huge Zaxby's fan and has mentioned how unfortunate it is that there are none in California. Dave's Hot Chicken is exceptionally similar in the seasoning, quality, and options. Although the items are a bit pricey, they rival other fast food options in the area. We most certainly will be back for more soon!

    dave's number Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries
    Cory G.

    So this was my first time at Dave's, and apparently I wandered into a luxury boutique that sells chicken tenders. I ordered the #3 meal--sandwich, a tender, some fries, and an emotional experience. Price? $14. No drink. No combo discount. No table-side violinist. Just straight-up fried poultry with attitude. Now, the young lady at the counter? A+ customer service. Super friendly, made me feel welcome even as I mentally calculated if I'd have enough gas money to get home. When the food hit the table, I'll admit--it helped close the price gap. * Chicken? Hot, juicy, crunchy perfection. * Fries? Crispy, salty, borderline addictive. * Sauce? Like spicy mayo was sent from heaven in a squeeze bottle. But real talk: the salt. After three bites, I started hearing ocean waves. By the end, I was holding onto the counter like a sailor in a storm. Tasty? Absolutely. But my blood pressure called me by my full name. Bottom line: If you're looking for cheap eats, this ain't it. If you're looking for fire chicken that slaps your taste buds and wallet at the same time? You found the place. Great food. Great staff. Great experience--just bring a full wallet and maybe a banana for potassium.

    I have came here SEVERAL times and service has just been going down hill. I don't see myself coming back to the Hemet location AGAIN! Waited 40 min in the drive thru

    Other then having to wait as the cashier was really busy she mentioned. I received great customer service from the cashier mighty of been worth the weight.

    Visited while passing thru Hemet. Dave's shares a parking lot with Walmart and Starbucks. Plenty of parking and easy access. Walked in and was greeted by the team behind the counter. A few customers were seated throughout the dining area. Not overly busy for a Friday afternoon during a holiday week but can imagine they get busy evenings and weekends. Ordered a #3 combo which came with a slider, tender and fries. Added an extra tender to the order. They offer kale slaw and pickles as extras at no additional charge. Gladly took them and they added a nice crunch to the slider. Tenders come on a slice of white bread. Sliders are served on a soft bun with sauce drizzle and the requested slaw and pickles. Enjoyed a bite from the tender first. Was piping hot and decent flavor. I had ordered mild and lacked the expected heat from the 7 various heat options. Bit into the slider and annoyed the flavor of the chicken, softness of the bun and crunch of the slaw. The pickle added another crunch and flavor to the bite. Service was very personable from the various team members who assisted. Would stop again if visiting the area or passing thru. Convenient stop for late night adventures as they're open late! Keep on Yelp'n!
