    I've been hearing people talk about Dave's Hot Chicken for a while, so I finally decided to see what the hype was about. After trying it for myself, I can definitely say I'll be coming back. The first thing that stood out was the chicken. It was hot, fresh, and had an incredibly crispy coating that stayed crunchy with every bite. The meat inside was juicy and packed with flavor. You can tell they make it fresh because it came out piping hot. The only small downside was that the chicken and the fries were a little saltier than I personally prefer. Even with that, I still finished everything because it was just that good. Sometimes you just want a meal that's over the top, and this absolutely hit the spot. It felt like the perfect cheat meal after a long week. The fries were crispy and paired really well with the chicken, especially with the sauce. The portions were generous, so I definitely left full and satisfied. The staff was friendly, my order came out quickly, and the restaurant had a fun, laid-back atmosphere that made the whole experience even better. If you're craving a crispy, flavorful chicken sandwich or tenders and don't mind a little extra seasoning, I'd definitely recommend giving Dave's Hot Chicken a try. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the mood to treat myself.

    I could go with 4 or 5 stars but rounding up for the mere fact you can still order and pay cash at the counter with a smile on the other side. The establishment is clean, did I mention you can approach the counter and someone will smile and help you if you ask for say, a sauce packet or such? Seems all but 2 other fast food places in town consider their customers asking for service a nuisance even just getting attention for someone to hand over a bag of food ordered on an app. Not at Dave's, you will not be ignored and left waiting and for that I continue to return both in person as well as app ordering earning points for free meals too! The food is a 4 for me as sometimes it's perfectly flavored and other times it seems slightly off.. not perfectly consistent, but always good! I originally had issues with the app accumulating points, I reached out online and had friendly communications and all points restored. Recently didn't get sauce with my meal and didn't notice as my boys ran in to pick up the order. Literally after ordering you will get a 2 question text which essentially asks how many stars you give and if any issues an option to describe. I mentioned the sauce packets but did not ask for anyone to reach out for additional info, yet I got an apology from a human very shortly after thanking me for feedback and making sure I was satisfied. I love the follow up and human interaction. Today my son said the guy inside was joking with him and having fun when he picked up and order with my (female) name on it. Well done getting my teen son to return to the car with a smile!! Oh, and my favorite now since I don't typically eat meat is the "Dave's NOT chicken" cauliflower mini sliders. Yum! Please don't ever take these away. I was here twice this week for these earning so many points we get a free meal every time!

    Two Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries, one hot and one medium

    My husband and I came in and were immediately greeted by the cashier. I didn't catch his name but he was super welcoming and generous with the sauces. We ordered two sliders and fries to share, and it took about ten minutes for the food to come out. The chicken was cooked so well! Not dry at all and the crisp was perfect. I love dipping the fries and the slider into their Dave's sauce. The sauce compliments the food very well, and adding some honey helps balance it more. This location was very clean and spacious. I really enjoyed my visit here and will be back!

    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.

    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.

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

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

    Stephanie A.

    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

    The Press Cafe is such a gem in downtown Livermore…read more Don't let the long lines discourage you... they move fast, and by the time you order and sit down, your food is already out. This time I had the poblano panini, so full of flavor. We also got the queso egg tacos the blue tortilla is perfect with such robust flavor. Unfortunately I didn't get there in time for the mochi donuts, but I did have the mochi elote cake. Wow, so good. I had to get another slice to go. The brownie cake is rich and moist. The parfait was fresh, with fruit and a honey drizzle. The lavender cookie was delicious, with a very unique flavor profile The only miss was the fresh toast it seemed a bit overcooked. Overall, this place is a gem. There's a parking garage nearby, too.

    This is a great downtown spot to grab a brew and a bite. It can get pretty busy in the mornings, so…read moreplan accordingly, as there can sometimes be a line out the door. The inside has a very open-concept, modern vibe that feels clean, comfortable, and welcoming. There's a good amount of seating indoors, along with some outdoor seating and umbrellas if you want to enjoy the nice weather. The food and drink menu is fairly extensive, and prices are on the moderate side, so it's worth taking a look at all of your options to find something that fits your taste and appetite. Everything I've tried so far has been tasty, satisfying, and filling. If you're dining in and order their house drip coffee, they provide a coffee mug, and the coffee is self-serve along with the available extras. If you decide to take your drip coffee to go, just keep in mind that they only offer one size of to-go cup, and it's not particularly large. If you prefer a bigger cup of coffee, you may be a little disappointed. The staff have always been friendly, welcoming, and professional during my visits. With all of the other options available in Livermore, this is definitely a place worth checking out if you're looking for a good spot downtown to grab some food and a drink.
