Last minute decision to come here but so glad we did. The service was fast and friendly. The young lady at the counter was very helpful. Once we placed our order we waited about 10 minutes before our food was ready. The wait was okay because they have a really nice eating area inside as well as seating outside. Our food was nice, hot and tasty. I'm glad my daughter suggested Dave's. read more

First, the young lady at the counter was great and was hustling to keep up with taking orders, doing the drinks, and bagging the food. They need more front help. Ok, now the "food".... I believe there might be 15+ chicken places around here and DHC won't be in my top 65 choices. Very dry chicken. Some horrible sandy, gritty, dry rub on "flavor". The fries were fine. The mac and fake cheese was microwaved, enough said. The kale slaw was absolutely horrible. So, 20 some odd dollars later the only thing I got out of it is $20 poorer. read more

It was a rainy gross day and I was waiting on my New Year's Day dinner so I decided to get a light snack to hold me over haha I actually used door dash which is not a common theme for me. The food? Fresh, hot, juicy delicious! Nothing was cold or soggy. My food was prepared correctly. I get nervous doing DoorDash orders but it turned out great!! I got the #3 slider and tender extra hot I'll have to go inside this location next time. Thank you all who prepared my food yesterday ! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - #3 slider and tender extra hot - Chicken Shop Near Me - Menifee, California

This is the first time I tried Dave's Hot Chicken. They need more workers here. First of all there was quite a line as there was only one person working the register. This person was also responsible for calling out names and distributing the take out orders. I witnessed a lot of food die on the line waiting for it to be given out. Since there was only one person working the register, no one was cleaning tables and all the tables were dirty and some still had trash on it. Now to the food, the hot chicken was good. I would order that again. The mac & cheese though was really basic and not worth the price. I would've rated this location higher if it wasn't for the lack of cleanliness and horrible service. read more

Good food but the wait time is a little ridiculous. Only ordered 2 sandwiches and wait time was 30 minutes. Please work on faster service!

Went back again to pick up food for my brother, when I went to the pick up area the worker Nancy called out the name of my brother so when I went up close I told her "I think that's my order" she then looked at me and said "you think??" in such a rude way. This is not the first time the workers at this exact Dave's have not only been rude to me but to my family as well. read more

The Food and the ambiance were both great! The whole crew was nice and helpful. The extra hot got my husband finally- he normally eats the spiciest food he can get his hands on and today's crew made up the extra hot seasoning a bit extra spicy. We enjoy this place. read more

Great food! Service was amazing! And ambiance is nice and calm with great music! For my first time it was a great experience!

Amazing food with such a lovely service would recommend this location! ambiance 10/10

Why have an app to order in advance, get a time when the order is ready, show up, and be told you need to wait for 15 minutes?

"Stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken Menifee and had a great experience. The chicken was full of flavor and fires were perfect. The staff there was helpful and the cashier worker named Nanci was ever helpful even though it was busy day with all lines. The restaurant was clean had a good atmosphere Definitely coming back again!" read more

Disappointing service. This is how the second time I've done an online order and waited an extra 10+ minutes than the scheduled time. Whats the point of picking a time?? Also they offered everyone grabbing their order extra daves sauce. I asked for one and was told I would have to pay for extra daves sauce with an online order. That makes NO sense. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken exceeded my expectations substantially! The seasoning on the chicken is fantastic (I had both mild and hot levels) and I love the fact that there's coleslaw along with the pickles in the sandwich - it definitely adds more textures to every bite you take. I have no complaints about the service as the staff did very well and are polite. The ambiance of the restaurant is a great place to hangout and I love the way the walls are painted. 10/10 highly recommend! read more

Came in today at 6. No mozzarella stick available and said the ice cream machine doesn't work so no shacks. And then i asked for two extra Dave's sauce and the girl worker said i could only have one. You would think since i couldn't get mozzarella sticks or a shake she would give me an extra Dave sauce. I come here a lot and never been told i could only have one Dave sauce. They don't charge for them so i think she was just being mean because the guy who served the kids before me told them if they wanted more just come back up. read more

Cauliflower Burger! Wow! Just bring in vegan cheese and this place will have double the business read more

Great food and service! Josie and Yesenia were really nice and food was great! Thanks for the chicken!

kind of stingy on the sauce you get with your order :( but food is still good. food is always made fresh and hot

The food always hits, soooo good. The service is top notch too they are so kind and outgoing would 100% recommend this location

They are to slow it takes 1/2 hour waiting for a chicken sandwich when I could go to Cane's where there is quicker service

I was at Dave's at 7:30 and they were absolutely slammed. I waited in a line of about 7 people long. The restaurant was full of people waiting for orders and Uber Eats/online orders. Their display board was working and accurate. When I ordered, the young girl taking the order was very pleasant. She apologized for the wait and told me it would be close to 30 minutes for my order. No problem. Who wouldn't wait to have Dave's? I watched the crew in the back working feverishly. The girl in the front ran the register, greeted people and thanked everyone, again apologizing for the wait. She made sure to ask them if they needed additional condiments. Sheer perfection. The food was hot and delicious. These workers need a raise absolutely amazing. Thank you! read more

Nanci was the only person behind the registers and greeted us with a smile on her face. Even though it was busy, she was working fast to get orders out. Shoutout to Nanci! read more

Ordered from Dave's Hot Chicken and the pickup time said it'd be ready in at ---- time, go ahead and just tack on 45 min to that. By the time my order was actually ready, I'm pretty sure the chicken I ordered had enough time to hatch from an egg, grow into a full-grown adult chicken, live a meaningful life, get plucked, seasoned, fried, and then finally make its way into my box. Look, the food is good. No complaints there. But the pickup times? Absolutely fictional. Great chicken. Terrible relationship with time. read more

The first time I had Dave's hot chicken I made the mistake and ordered the "hot". I couldn't enjoy it because my mouth was on fire. So I decided to give it another try and get the "medium". I must say that's it didn't disappoint one bit. Their chicken makes Raisin Canes taste like school cafeteria food. read more

Food great but 45 minutes for a fast food place is poor management and poor staffing Suggest corporate tell this franchisee to get it together. The wait isn't worth the result. read more

I gave this 5 star review not only because of the great food and portion sizes but my great experience every time with the amazing staff. As soon as I walked in the door I was welcomed in and asked if it was my 1st visit? The food was cooked to order, hot and fresh this is why I don't mind waiting a few extra minutes. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed. read more

Food is always hot! Great customer service and their Cauliflower is so darn good! Would've gotten 5 stars, but this time they burnt some of the Cauliflower. Overall pretty good every time! read more

Today I tried for the first time Dave's NOT chicken. Which is a piece of cauliflower instead of chicken. It was so tasty and tender did not disappoint. If you look into try something new, give us a try. I bet you'll be back again. Sorry, no pictures. I ate it too fast. read more

Unfortunately I came specifically so that a friend can receive the Fallout meal and we received NOTHING. this is exactly how we opened our bag once we took our mobile home. literally NOTHING !! I can't even blame the single female worker who was left to do everything but cook the actual food. I blame management for this since she was left with no help. i was not gonna go back since parking is terrible and lobby was already packed while waiting 20mins for my mobile. read more

Love the chicken, don't like the price. But really good DHC is something you need to try at least once or ten times. The mild flavor is the right balance of tasty with good heat. Love the fresh crunchy pickles on the side. Service here is fast and friendly. Love the outdoor seating to include an outdoor fire ring where you can sit and feast with friends. It can be pricey but there is a $10 meal that will fill you up without hurting your wallet. read more

Maybe it depends on who's making it but they've stepped it up lately. A lot better quality, less lazy.

I placed an order ahead of time and by the time I came in the line was almost out the door and everyone sitting had no food in front of them. I saw the poor workers in the back scrambling and stressing. The food is good but they need to staff or train better because 70 minute wait for "fast" food shouldn't really happen. I work in food service as well so I didn't get upset but I can see how others would be annoyed by that and maybe not come back to the establishment. 3/5 read more

Come all the time and it's always so good! It was really busy tonight Rocio R was awesome, doing all the stuff, you can tell she is a very hard worker! Super sweet even though she was working in a very stressful situation, kind with every guest and her lashes slayed. Thank you! Hope everyone working here tonight has a great night, I appreciate your showing up and being great tonight! read more

Dave's hot chicken was a staple in Los Angeles, I started going when they were a stand outside of a parking lot. I recently moved to Riverside and there is nothing out here that's better than Dave's even on a bad day. Dave's has the best hot chicken in the IE read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Fuego - Chicken Shop Near Me - Menifee, California

Foods gas but it took 40 min to get our food. I was starving man it took forever. But I love the food

Not a good experience. Food was very good, but the service was horrid. I placed a takeout order and walked in giving my full first and last name. The employee (hopefully she was not a manager) quickly retrieved the bag of food for me, and then asked to see my app to prove the order was mine. I was a bit surprised, but showed her my app. I could not immediately find the order and even pointed my phone to her so she could try. She did not see it either. She asked for email confirmation, which after a short bit of time I was able to show her. Meanwhile, the food certainly was not getting any warmer. I get that she wanted to make sure that I was not a crook trying to steal food, but surprised that I was treated like a crook even after giving full first and last name and what I ordered. I will add that I even tipped through the app generously, which I doubt most takeout orders do. Pretty sure I won't be back, but if I do very unlikely to tip generously in advance. read more

Dave's hot chicken is one of the best chicken sandwich places hands down. The food is crispy juicy tender and perfectly seasoned they have 7 spice levels for a reason. The flavor is unique, it is spicy and slightly sweet which just helps the whole experience. Also the service is amazing!!!! You can either order at the kiosk or at the counter depending on the location and they always get the order right. One time they got my order wrong but instead of giving me less food or the spice leveI didn't want, they gave me a meal for 10 with all the perfect spice levels. And the ambiance is the best. Each location has differing graphics on the wall and they are all super quirky. Like one of the locations had the mascot in space!!! It is so vibrant. The menu is diverse with different shakes and food options and the menu updating regularly, it might not update jack in the box fast but it still is pretty frequent. Lastly it is halal and is allergy free. Overall Dave's hot choke exceeds my standards for a good fast food restaurant!!! read more

Good chicken, but nothing special. The menu is fairly simple -- chicken and fries. The food is really tasty and fresh, but kind of expensive. We came late at night when they were having a promotion and it was really crowded. The service was still good and the line was moving rather quickly. The restaurant is cute, but really small. There were less than 10 tables and definitely not enough space for people to be waiting for their orders. Overall, still good but maybe not if you're looking for something on the cheaper side. read more

Why does anyone eat here lol. It's dry chicken rubbed with "hot" seasoning. Even the pickles tasted off. Yuck.
