    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.

    Two pc chicken medium with fries & sauce!

    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.

    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.

    Absolutely love it. The service, the food, the special sauce I want it all!! Will be back soon

    Slushy options 6/2025

    Pretty cool decor inside. Tried the Top-loaded fries with fried chicken but only 3 little pieces of fried chicken on it with coleslaw and pickles. Cheese fries are good. They have 4 slushy options and unique shakes. Customer Service is good!

    Not my first time here but this time was just disappointing, the fries were very under seasoned and bland, the Dave's bites that I got on medium tasted like a mild at best. Still love the vibe and the staff are very nice and helpful!

    interior!

This place (obviously) has great reviews so I decided to go. And it certainly meets the hype The staff was very friendly--I let them know it's my first time there so I needed a bit of time to look over the menu--and they were very helpful letting me know the options. I got the Friday I'm In Love and it was amazing. Great size, absolutely packed with meat, amazing flavor. This was a 10/10. The garlic spread was delicious, the slaw was seasoned very well, and everything was very fresh and flavorful. Dutch crunch also had great texture. My only possible complaint was that the meat wasn't very evenly distributed as you can see in the pic, but that's a very minor complaint. To reiterate, this was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Unfortunately I'm not very close to Livermore, but anytime I'm close by in the future, I absolutely want to stop by again. I highly, highly recommend this place for a sandwich!

They Sell: - American Lamb (Not Gamey, Delicious) - High-Quality Chicken (Mary's) - Homemade Sausages - Solid Pork/Beef (including Wagyu) - Game Meats, Veal, Seafood - Deli Items - Seasonal: Dry-Age Prime Rib, Heritage Turkey, etc. Over time, I've made a conciencous effort to get my proteins here. My rotation has usually been their chicken leg quarters, ribeyes, lamb rib chops, and pork steaks. Recently, I made tandoori lamb chops (my favorite dish) with their American lamb, and it was honestly one of the best versions I've ever made (photo attached). A few extra notes: * Go during the week if you can. It's less crowded and the experience is more personal -- you get to actually talk to the folks behind the counter. * The walkways are tight. Not their fault, just something to be aware of if you're on the taller or bigger side. * Hours can be tough for a 9-to-5. They're open Wednesday through Friday during the week and close at 5, so I've had a few near-misses trying to swing by after work. Weekends are open, but plan ahead. * Online pricing would be a nice add -- would help with planning. * Wishlist: Would love to see limited offerings of premium versions of other proteins -- Iberico or Berkshire pork, Mary's pasture-raised chicken, Ora King salmon, bluefin tuna. And spirits (bourbon, rum) would be a fun addition. Overall, a great business and a real value-add to the community. I'll keep coming back - highly recommend checking out!

Unfortunately I've tried a different sandwich on two occasions now and won't be back again. The first time I got a build your own sandwich ($14) with pastrami. Usually a place either has amazing pastrami or terrible pastrami. I really did not like the pastrami here, it was super chewy which made for an unpleasant experience to the point where I was forcing myself to finish eating it but felt gross after and probably just should have thrown it out. The second time I tried the Del Valle TAB signature sandwich ($16 + $2 tax). For $18 it was incredibly disappointing. It wasn't a nice big sandwich but just a normal size. The bacon was so hard that I had to consciously make sure to eat it slowly otherwise I felt like I was going to break my teeth. And the overall flavor was lacking.

The apple pie French toast was the highlight of the meal--sweet, comforting, and packed with cinnamon-apple flavors that really did remind me of apple pie. It felt indulgent without being overly heavy. The eggs Benedict were well-executed with perfectly cooked eggs and a rich, creamy hollandaise sauce. The butternut squash soup was smooth, velvety, and full of flavor, making it a great starter. The turkey avocado sammie was fresh and satisfying with generous portions of turkey and avocado, making it a solid lunch option. Service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the meal. The vibe is cozy, relaxed, and inviting, making it a great spot for brunch with friends, family, or a casual weekend outing. The atmosphere feels warm and neighborhood-oriented, encouraging you to linger a little longer over coffee and conversation. Overall, an enjoyable brunch experience with a menu that offers something for everyone. I'd come back to try more of their breakfast and lunch offerings.
