    Food

    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.

    Dave's Hot Chicken in Hemet

    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

    Signage and entrance
    Ron Q.

    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!

    Kiosks
    Sara O.

    Upon arrival the front area was empty with no employees, no greetings. We used the kiosk to order but one of them wasn't working so we waited for the working kiosk to open up. When I finally saw en employee I asked for our drink cups, again she didn't greet us or even acknowledge us, just handed us the cups and walked off. The food was ok. No much slaw on the sandwich, mild level heat is very very low heat. Overall an underwhelming experience. Raising Canes in town has much better service, too bad they don't have a spicy option.

    Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/Mac & Cheese

    I come here regularly this location has good service, good ambiance, is quick and makes really good chicken and Mac and cheese.

Speaking of Andrea's awesome team I was heading to the bathroom and noticed one of the team putting up those yellow caution signs. I thanked her profusely as I didn't see the wet floor up to that point. Really awesome service and food from a well organized and thoughtfully led crew. I'm so happy to have stopped in today

    I've been to quite a few Wingstop locations, and one thing that immediately stands out to me is the…read moreconsistency of the chicken. Dry wings are a major red flag for any wing place, and thankfully the Hemet location has consistently delivered fresh, juicy wings every time I've gone. I have yet to receive a dry batch from this location. The food is also prepared in a timely manner relative to customer flow. Even when they're busy, the wait usually feels reasonable and the quality doesn't seem sacrificed for speed. The wings taste fresh, the sauces are well coated, and the fries are usually hot and fresh as well. Overall, this location seems to have solid quality control and consistency compared to many other fast food wing spots. Definitely one of the better Wingstop experiences I've had.

    I came here a few days ago to see if the review of them not cleaning their hands was true…read more When I first got in I see three males, one preparing the wings, the cashier, and I'm assuming the "manager or shift lead" was behind the wall (on a computer or on his phone) in view where I can see his body but not his hands. As I was deciding what to order, the cashier stepped away to help prepare a takeout order and then immediately began handling food bags without washing his hands. Shortly afterward, a manager or shift lead came out from the back and started placing fries into serving trays without washing his hands as well. I observed him touching the fries directly to keep them from falling out of the tray. At the same time, the employee preparing the wings appeared to reuse a bowl that had already been used previously, as there was still sauce residue left in it from prior use. These practices gave the impression of poor cleanliness and a lack of proper food safety standards. Employees handling food should wash their hands appropriately, and food preparation equipment should be cleaned or replaced between uses. Overall, the experience raised concerns about sanitation and health safety at this location. I decided to use caution, not order from here and walk away.
