    Colorful place with yummy chicken. The drinks were a bit too sweet so I advise to share it. We ordered meals that only come with fries. Drinks are sold separately. We did ask for cups for water FYI the cups are really small clear cups. Restroom, sit down indoors and fountain drinks available here. Park lot with available parking usually We ordered at the kiosk and picked up our food at the counter to bring to where we chose to sit. On the kiosk the item will ask, at the bottom, if any utensils are needed so be sure to add that but we asked for some things but most was available on the side of where the fountain drinks were. I like how red the spicer chicken looks but I opted for it to be not spicy for me. If only I could handle spicy I would try it I'll definitely add this location to my, I would like to go again list

    Combo #1, hot
    Karina S.

    Portion sizes at this location felt very satisfying! Got combo #1 (2 tenders with fries, sauce, and bread) with both tenders spice level Hot. I did not actually find the chicken too spicy at all, and want to try Extra Hot or maybe even Reaper next time. Plenty of seating and very clean inside, quick service, and the tenders and fries came out very crisp and fresh.

    Environment was good. Food was good. Service was good. Pretty cool tasty place to eat

    Two pc chicken medium with fries & sauce!
    Sher K.

    So walking in I didn't notice the kiosks to my left but the girl took my order without hesitation or resentment. So nice. You don't even know. The food was good and I tried medium spicy. Delicious! I rarely give more than 4 stars for fast food but this location was great. So I've been to one Dave's Hot Chicken locations in Oakland and my experience was not good. Chicken chunks in tons of breading. However, per the recommendations of an influencer I had to try it again and she was right!

    #Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries

    New Dave's Hot location in Livermore!! This location is beautifully renovated and I loved how colorful and bright the ambiance was. We've been fans of Dave's for quite some time, IMO it's one of the better "fast food" hot chicken sandwiches! They have a broad range of spice levels to suit anyone's tastebuds. My go-to is the #4 / 1 slider with fries since it's just the right amount of food for me. We ordered for takeout and the fries stayed surprisingly crispy! The slider was a bit underwhelming (this time, eaten as takeout). I prefer eating the sandwich with honey (when it's medium hot or more ofc) over their special sauce.

    The food is really good I like their service as well, loaded fries is so good ambiance and good too is clean

    Fried chicken is actually one of my favorite foods. However whatever seasoning they put in their chicken or even fries was wayyy too salty in my opinion. They could have used less salt in everything. Their staff, on the other hand, were all very friendly and helpful

    Never been to any Dave's Hot Chicken before, but decided to give it a try because the Livermore location just opened today. It has a bright, eclectic atmosphere and plenty of seating. The dining area is open and has concrete floors so it gets loud in here. The menu is... fried chicken tenders. You can also get fries, slaw, mac & cheese, shakes, and other soft drinks. If you're looking for something not fried, you're in the wrong place. They offer a cauliflower alternative to chicken, but it's vegetarian, not vegan.

    Here's a polished 5-star Yelp review that still sounds like you:…read more Nakia and I had a great experience at Sauced BBQ in Livermore! We started with the fried pickles, and they were absolutely amazing--crispy, flavorful, and the perfect appetizer. For our meal, we shared the chopped tri-tip salad, and the staff was kind enough to split it for us, which we really appreciated. We also ordered the Bumpkins egg rolls, and I have to say... they are a must-try! They were absolutely delicious. For drinks, we tried the Sauced Favorite cocktail flight for $20. They were just okay, but we also had two shots of Crown Royal, which definitely hit the spot. Our total came to $109, which wasn't bad at all considering everything we ordered, including the drinks. The restaurant was clean, nice and cool inside, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. We'll definitely be back the next time we're craving some good BBQ!

    PSA: They no longer serve potato salad (!)…read more I was craving for some good ol' American potato salad (it was July 4th weekend) to go with my BBQ.. to my surprise, they took it off their menu! Other potato options were waffle fries or a whole baked potato - not the same as potato salad IMO. Brussel sprouts 5/5 - Glazy and crunchy. I definetly would recommend this as a starter. Chicken wings 5/5 - We ordered sauce on the side. They were good even without it. The chicken was so juicy, actual chicken juice and not oil. Ribs 4/5 - Tender, would order this again. Brisket 4/5 - Tender, would also order this again. Burnt ends 3/5 - Just meh. Could be just a personal preference though. Tri-tip 2/4 - It was dry and tough. I would skip this next time. Corn bread 4/5 - It was a good side to have to balance all the meatiness. Mac n cheese 4/5 - Very rich and cheesy. Service 5/5 - Our server was attentive and refilled our group's drinks plenty of times.

They have kind of weird hours - closed for two days and they are closed early. I ordered their The Original Delivery, which comes with chicken with skin, jasmine rice, ginger scallion sauce, and a broth. The chicken was pretty dry, even with the ginger scallion sauce - the sauce had weird lingering taste to it that did not taste like the typical ones at other restaurants. The rice and broth were alright - not the best, but not the worst either. I remember having them at Westfield Valley Fair and they were a lot better than this location. There are other restaurants that have a similar dish to this that I had that is of better quality and quantity at the a similar price point. Overall, it was not the best experience, so I do not think I would be back to this location again.

Solid but I prefer my wife's version of this dish better!

Stopped in for a quick bite before heading up to the city to catch a Warriors game, and there were a handful of people dining in. This location took over the old Pieology, and there was plenty of seating. I really liked the Fremont-centered decor on the walls; that's one way to connect with the local community! Given it was an early dinner, the two of us shared a #1 which consisted of 2 sliders and fries, and we tacked on an additional side of Mac and cheese to try it out. Chicken was meaty, not too dry, and well-seasoned without overdoing it. The Mac was also pretty good, and the fries were also seasoned, but nothing too special. The food took longer than I expected to be prepared, but we were kind of pressed for time so on a regular day it wouldn't have been too big a deal.

    Talk about poor customer service…read more Came in at around 2pm to pick up my order and some guy zipped right past me in front of the register while I was clearly waiting and the Indian/fijian young girl ignored me completely to talk to him about paying for sauce for a couple minutes to eventually give him one saying "this time I'll give it to you for free" just like other bad reviews below lol.. instead of addressing me as I was first and was literally waiting. I show her my order and she reaches over and grabs it confused, holds it while she has a conversation with her co worker and then just slides it across the table without saying a single word. If you don't like your job just quit. Food was mediocre this time and I don't think I'll be visiting this location again. Go to their other locations elsewhere.
