    Dave's #3: 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries
    Kaori T.

    Finally made my way to Dave's hot chicken and it did not disappoint. Whether you get the slider or the tender, it's the same cut chicken - a thick juicy tenderloin. Tasty, bread isn't too thick - great kaleslaw, still pretty cheap compared to today's prices. Fries are nice a crispy, didn't expect to devour but I did. Good service, the lady at the counter did her absolute best though she was busy and didn't give busy attitude either. A plus in my book. It's fast food service, fast food decor. Convenient and delicious. I'd go for the 1 slider, 1 tender combo to try both. I had the mild and it wasn't spicy at all. My friend got the hot and she said it was burning. So take it as you will! Good luck and have fun :)

    Dave's #2: 2 Sliders w/ Fries - YUMMY
    Janet K.

    Food was piping HOT and delicious. First time I had the #2 with the 2 sliders and it was very filling! Service was friendly and fast. Inside was very clean. I am always happy with Dave's. Only thing is the homeless outside. One guy was scary and I didn't feel comfortable passing by him to enter the chicken shop so I had to wait a little bit.

    been coming to this dave's in NoHo for years. Kinda wild thinking how it used to be one of my first lunch spots back when i was still stuck in an office job. So yeah, a little nostalgia every time i stop here. Swung by this morning, just wanted something quick. They've changed stuff -- now you order from a screen. it's fine, just weird tipping a machine, you know? I don't mind tipping people, but a terminal doesn't bring your food or check on you. The food though? Still solid. Got the mild and it still got that kick, the kinda heat that wakes you up. Fries on point, everything came fast, clean tray, clean spot. Restroom's clean too, no weird smells. paid around 16 bucks. Will i come back? maybe, yeah, but hollywood's kinda messy. Still, dave's is dave's -- when you crave that spicy crunch, this place always hits.

    Small Chili Cheese Fries

    I know I got a small but come on, is an appropriate amount of chili that hard to do? It's tastes good, if only there was enough of it to enjoy.

    The food is always extremely delicious . The place is small, but enough to hang out with a small group of friends. The team running the business is amazing. The music is probably a bit too loud for a restaurant, but quality of the food compensates. Thank you very much for your quality food. Much love, RaffieTheFarmer & Gina.

    Chicken tenders meal, my fav
    Rameen K.

    Love the spicy chicken tenders here. I like spicy food and this place has some good spice. I like getting 'Extra Hot'. Have not tried the 'Reaper' yet, but will soon. I'll be back...

    Stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken around 8:30 p.m. on a Thursday. I ordered over the phone and asked for tissues, but they forgot to include them. Thankfully, I decided to eat inside, so I was able to grab some tissues and a couple of extra sauces--since they only gave me one with the order. The food was solid--chicken was flavorful, fries were nice and crispy. The guy behind the counter had a great attitude: friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The place itself was clean and well-kept. Minor hiccups with the order, but overall a good experience.

    Ask the Community - Dave's Hot Chicken

    Does Dave's have an allergy menu? Do they cook with eggs?

    No they do not cook with eggs but the bread has eggs in it

    Is the breading used on the chicken dairy free?

    Directly ask the restaurant. They would be the only accurate answer about their ingredients.

    Hi does this location offer halal?

    Yes. All locations are halal.

    Is this place even open?i called and didnt get an answer because the voice mailbox was full

    Dave's is a very popular restaurant. Waiting times can be excessive like 60 minutes +. Turning off on-line ordering and not answering the phone is the only way orders can be produced, Order early or late, not at peak times.

    Why has the price per tender increased from $3.19 to $4.49?

    Inflation

    3rd party delivery companies show this place as halal on their app. Does anyone know if it is halal?

    I'm pretty sure their chicken is halal but you should call one of the stores to be sure

    Is the sauce on the sliders mustard or some sort of cheese?

    No, it's a Mayo based sauce but they do offer cheese sauce and slices you can put on the sliders.

    Are they currently accepting cash?

    No cash at the moment however they accept every form of card payment as well as Apple pay

    Do they have any parking?

    Pretty difficult on parking. There's a backlot that is always incredibly tight/chaotic after you make a right on Starbucks. Recommendation is to park on the street before the intersection and make the walk- it's not worth the hassle and stress.

    Is this place in NoHo open & can I go there & place an order to-go?

    I'm pretty positive they are. To be sure you should still give the store a call… 

    Is this place serve Halal?

    Yes

    Do you have gluten-free options for ordering the chicken?

    Negative

    What is the waiting time around 12pm for lunch?

    Almost sure it's busy but regardless no will know

    Could you please offer a vegan chicken with hot spice too?

    Hopefully in the future.

    Is the chicken halal?

    Yes, the chicken is halal.

    Do they have vegetarian options other than sides?

    Tanner: Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately we do not have vegetarian entree options among our… 

    Do they accept apple pay?

    Yes

    Can you please verify if you use Halal chicken? If so, please tell us the supplier and if you know whether or not it is hand slaughtered or machine slaughtered. Thank you!

    Always Halal. Mechanically slaughtered.

    Do they cook with peanut oil? I have a peanut allergy.

    Yes, the chicken is cooked with peanut oil.

I ordered the double cheeseburger, and it was absolutely delicious. The burger was packed with flavor, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the buns were soft, fluffy, and airy. The patties weren't smash burgers and were on the thinner side, but they were still juicy and satisfying. My husband ordered the BBQ burger, and he really enjoyed his as well. For our side, we shared the loaded tots. They were crispy, well-seasoned, and a great addition to the meal. Service was good overall. The cashier seemed a little serious at first and didn't really greet us, but when we asked to swap out a drink, she was very accommodating and didn't charge us extra. There was a small misunderstanding when I asked about side options, but she quickly explained that another table had the menu and went to grab one for us. She was friendly and helpful throughout the rest of the interaction. The restaurant was clean, which I always appreciate. The atmosphere could use a little improvement, though. It felt a bit stuffy inside, two of the three menu screens weren't working, and it was very quiet with no music playing, which made the dining room feel a little empty. Overall, the food was definitely the highlight and I'd come back for the burgers and loaded tots.

This is a really cool little burger spot tucked into the corner of a shopping center. The inside has a fun vibe with cassette tapes and surfboards decorating the place, and everything is open so you can see the staff taking orders and the burgers being cooked right behind the counter. What impressed me just as much as the food was the owner. I met him while I was waiting for my burger, and what a great guy. He greeted me with a smile, thanked me for coming in, and even offered me a free bottle of water while I waited. And this was right in the middle of the lunch rush while he was cooking burgers, helping his staff and thanking customers as they left. He took a minute to tell me the restaurant was created in honor of his dad, which I thought was really cool. He also told me about the cassette tapes and his skateboarding days when he was younger. You could tell this place really means something to him. Now let's talk about that burger! I went with the Double with everything on it. Two smashed beef patties, cheese, grilled onions, house sauce, pickles and the rest of the toppings loaded onto a soft bun. The first thing I noticed were those crispy edges on the patties. They were perfect! The beef was smashed super thin on the grill and those edges came out dark, crispy and full of flavor while the middle still had plenty of juiciness. The melted cheese and grilled onions were great with it, and the pickles and house sauce added even more flavor. The bun was soft and lightly toasted, which was perfect with those crispy patties. There are plenty of Smashburger places around here, but this one definitely stood out to me. Between the burger, the atmosphere, the staff and meeting the owner, I had a great first experience. I'll definitely be back!

I ordered chicken breast, and the portions were surprisingly inconsistent. One piece was a reasonable size, while the other was significantly smaller and did not feel like a proper portion. The biggest disappointment was the Caesar salad with salmon. It came with only two very small pieces of salmon--approximately 1.5 ounces total. Honestly, even my cat would have been disappointed with that portion! It genuinely looked like they were down to their last small piece of salmon and divided it between the salad. As someone who is Persian and grew up eating this type of food regularly, I'm very familiar with the flavors, quality, and portions I would expect. Unfortunately, the food this time was well below average, both in taste and value. I would rate the taste about 2/10. It's especially disappointing because I previously enjoyed ordering from Sorta and appreciated having a convenient neighborhood option so close to home. But after two disappointing experiences in a row, I can't justify the price for the portions and quality I received. Sadly, I don't see myself returning. It's very sad that u spend 77$ for lunch for two and not be satisfied
