    My purchase receipt and the tag for the completion of the meal.
    Brandon P.

    I visited Dave's Hot Chicken in Highland, CA tonight and placed my order at 9:46 PM with Dayana. From the start, I felt rushed at the register even though there was no one behind me. About one to one-and-a-half minutes after placing my order, I went back to the counter to ask if I could cancel the chicken strip and switch to the 10-bite meal. Dayana seemed confused and said the order couldn't be changed because they had already started it. This was around 9:49 PM. What was frustrating is that my order wasn't actually called until 10:05 PM, nearly 20 minutes after I initially ordered. Given that amount of time, it didn't make sense to me why such a small adjustment couldn't be made so soon after payment. It felt less like a system limitation and more like an unwillingness to make the change. When I got home around 10:10 PM, I realized the food wasn't hot; just warm. After waiting 20 minutes, I expected the food to be fresh and hot. I also noticed Dayana sweeping the main area while waiting, which made me wonder if my food had been sitting out before being handed to me. I'm disappointed overall. I hope this can be taken as a coaching opportunity; sometimes making a quick adjustment can go a long way in improving the customer experience

    Small Small Top Loaded Fries

    I always see a line at Dave's Hot Chicken and finally decided to try it to see what the hype was about. Honestly, I was pretty disappointed. I got the small top-loaded fries and it only came with three pieces of chicken, plus the fries were cold. The flavor was fine but nothing special. I also tried the mac and cheese, and it just tasted like boxed mac to me. Maybe it's just this location, but I wish there was a 1.5-star option--doesn't quite deserve one star, but definitely not two. To make it worse, my order took forever and there weren't even that many people there. Oh well, at least I tried it.

    Had Dave's hit chicken for the first time and it was delicious. The chicken pieces are thick and juicy even though they're fried. The pickles and sauce just add to the overall flavor. Definitely returning!

    Decent location. Nothing special. I love the location though. Next closet one was in a very industrial center of SB so this location is prime & close to Redland's mountain grove & citrus plaza so it's good. Clean & bright location & service was okay. Nothing special. & food was good. Still better than raising canes too so.

    Food was good. Wonderful customer service. It was very clean They were fast with our order.

It's very clean- even the restroom. I love the orange strawberry scones!!! Absolutely perfect. Also the coffee is solid and you can get for here cups. They have yummy kombuchas, lattes, fun sodies, and juice. Also have alcoholic beverages if that's your jam. The burritos on the weekends are awesome and the price is great. Overall, there's so many choices here and it's a fun place to go. There's inside and outside seating and it's just a fun place to come. Can't wait to continue to try more and more here.

    How have I lived in Redlands this long and somehow missed Olive Avenue Market?? Truly baffling…read more This place is tucked into a quiet South Redlands neighborhood, surrounded by old Victorian homes and lush lawns, and it feels like a tiny European corner café just... existing quietly and beautifully. Inside is all reclaimed wood and cozy tables, people working on laptops, the coolest Redlands City Limits sign, kids flipping through board games and books in the corner, soft chatter, good energy. Pro tip: get in line as soon as you get there because it fills up fast and the line can absolutely go out the door. I had the chai latte (so good), a cheese danish (dangerous), and an Everlasting Ferments kombucha...the Habanero Ginger is a sleeper hit. You can also snag breakfast burritos if you're lucky (they sell out), or freshly made stuffed waffles from a vendor outside, which somehow makes the whole experience feel extra charming. There are cute little café tables all around and a tucked-away, walled patio in the back that's perfect for bigger groups. Already planning future coffee dates. Late to the party, but fully committed now!

There are only a few places to eat open for breakfast and other times. Unfortunately, the place was under renovations at the time of our visit. I was not able to go inside or see what the inner decorum looked like. Instead, I had a nice meal outside in the seating area. The food is pretty standard in terms of early cafe. I was kind of expecting more of a brunch menu. Instead, it is mostly breakfast sandwiches and other cold cuts. I did order the namesake of the store, the Stell Club. For me, the food was average. I think the best part of the meal was the bread. It was crunchy and moist enough. The sandwich meats were definitely on the dry and salty side. I wonder if they were fresh cut. Similarly, there was some sauce but I did not notice it very much between the mayonnaise and other condiments inside the sandwich. I don't know if the idea is to make the sandwich extra salty so I'll buy more drinks. I would rate this place in the category of come here if you're starving, wait for a different place to open if possible.
