This was my first time ordering from this Dave's Hot Chicken location, and unfortunately it was a really disappointing experience. I usually love Dave's Hot Chicken, which is why this surprised me. The location accepted my order late at night and the delivery arrived quickly, in about 20 minutes, which initially seemed great. Unfortunately, the food itself was terrible. Everything tasted old, stale, and thrown together. The order looked messy, like it had been rushed or pieced together from whatever scraps were left at the end of the night. It honestly felt like we paid $30 for leftovers because someone working didn't want to put in the effort to make the food fresh. I've had good experiences with Dave's Hot Chicken before, so this was really frustrating. If a location is going to accept late-night orders, the quality should still reflect the standards customers expect. Note: I placed my order about two hours before closing time. I would understand the food being subpar if I had ordered within the last hour before closing, but that wasn't the case here. If a location is going to accept orders well before closing, the quality should still reflect the standards customers expect. read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

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. read more

All I have to say is thank you to Diana, Jazmin, and Antonio for the excellent service

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. read more

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. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken tenders meal, my fav - Chicken Shop Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Dave's Hot Chicken as a fast food restaurant has never disappointed in quality and taste. This location specifically, offered the best service out of all of the ones I have ever been to. The employees Ricardo and Jazmine were nothing but kind and made the order as fast as possible, which was surprising. The ambiance of the location is second to none because of the lighting and themed seating. Overall my experience at the location was wonderful and the bar of fast food service has been increased. read more

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. read more

The WORSE EXPERIENCE EVER. They send me a coupon for 6 free saucy bites if u spend $20. I tried to order on app & apply coupon but it didn't work. So i get there & ask the manager to help me add the coupon, she says It's not the employees responsibility to help w/ coupons & if they don't work, the app has nothing to do with our store. I SAID to her, R-U-SERIOUS, do you know how you RIDICULOUS U sound right now. (EVEN if the app isn't their company, you always try & help the customer no matter what, esp. if they're spending $, & dine their alot. Instead of trying to help me add the coupon she spent more time explaining why she couldn't help me & how their company has nothing to do with the "Dave's Hot chicken" app (they just use it EVERYDAY-ALL DAY-for every takeout & in house order) I must be living in the Twilight Zone. SERIOUSLY. When I got home, I looked at the Receipt & saw that she charged me extra anyways. I seriously couldn't believe it, what a LOWLIFE. And she only gave me 1 extra sauce (for 2 chicken sandwiches & 6 saucy bites, so we had to spend another $4 on on sauce alone) I will never Go Back to the "5166 Lankershim Blvd Ste D, North Hollywood, CA 91606" LOCATION AGAIN. Only Burbank, Ca location is way better, nicer, cleaner, & have always helped me w/the app w/no problems. I don't know the manager's name at the Lankershim location but I do have a photo of her, I believe she spoke Spanish. How in the world did she become manager.. -- Photo (will be added below) of Manager at Dave's Hot Chicken (@ 5166 Lankershim Blvd.) she cheated me outta $ & Cust.

Walked in, ordered food- there POs system went down and I never got my food! LAME. Girls who work here on Wednesday night are clueless

Great customer experience and food is good!!! The mozzarella hot sauce flats are good af.

I dropped in recently after not having food here and this location in a long while for some take out due to wanting the FALLOUT promotional merch. It was an afternoon and not busy for dine in, Staff member was polite and prompt. Order was ready quick in good timing. For a 10 piece nugget meal at $13.99 the portion was just about right. However quality wise between the 2 meals and flavors I selected, not sure if I was totally pleased. Though fries are not the main event, I remember hot chicken restaurants being pretty generous with fries before food costs went up. As for the chicken, pieces were a mix of varied sizes and then what looked like half to two thirds of a tender broken down to stand out among the serving. Some were slightly burned. And yes it is servable product. Had they not been sauced the chicken could almost be not enjoyable. Other than that, dining area was clean while waiting. For hot chicken I do prefer Dave's over others thus far. Guess it is a matter of timing. read more

so good everytime + kelly that helped me out was so sweet hope that u get everything u want in life queen

Look, I like Dave's, and my kid LOVES Dave's, but the only reason I'm writing a review is that the cashier, Hector, was fantastic. He really made us feel special, even though we were just there buying chicken tenders. We appreciated the great service. Thanks, Hector! read more

When I'm looking for a good, affordable, fast meal, Dave's is a go to! This location has a nice amount of seating, and plenty of street parking around. It can get a bit busy in the evenings, though. Staff is very friendly and helpful. This is some of the best fast food hot chicken I've ever had, I'm always impressed by their consistency and quality. I love the chicken sliders and the crinkle cut fries are always perfectly crispy and seasoned. read more

Store smells kinda funky, chicken is always bomb, bread is never soggy, pickles are the best

So, I got lunch, for 16 dollars, just for myself! I asked for an extra sauce packet for my chicken- they said no, they would have to charge me!!! This is what I'm talking about!! The devil is in the details! It was rude!!! The food is good but not that good to be treated like that I will never go back!!!! This place is awful!!!!!!!! read more

I finally tried Dave's Hot Chicken and it definitely lived up to the hype the ambience is super cool with a trendy, graffiti-style vibe that feels fun and energetic without being too loud, making it a great spot to hang out with friends or grab a quick bite. What really stood out was the service though the staff were genuinely friendly, patient when explaining the spice levels, and made the whole experience feel welcoming from the moment I walked in. The food came out fast, fresh, and hot, and combined with the great atmosphere and solid service, it made the visit feel like more than just a typical fast-casual stop. thank you Diana for the service!!! read more

The ambiance of this location is so laidback, the food here is phenomenal along with great customer service, I was served by,Diana , who gave awesome service read more

Nothing really beats Dave's when they were in a parking lot on Hollywood Blvd. I am glad to see them come up with multiple brick and mortars but something about a new place just doesn't stick with me. Dave's has some really good chicken strips and there are a lot of new places that are contenting. All have their own little special flava. Personally this location is very inconvenient to get to since its on the corner of Lankershim and Magnolia. I feel there are other places that would rather go to in this area if I was making my ways there. Overall it get pretty popping over the weekends which is great for business and the service is phenomenal. If you have not tried Dave's Hot Chicken, I recommend that you give it a shot at least once at one of their many locations. Also, don't go too spicy. They know how to kick you in the butt! Parking: metered parking, small public lot VERDICT: One and done read more

Dave's is as good as it gets when it comes to hot chicken! I think they have the best seasoning and most tender meat out of all the hot chicken spots! read more

Today 10/23 /25only day to redeem free slider. On app. Every one & their mother, came to the menifee ca, daves hot chicken. Line out the door around and around. Ends up to apparently be a scam in my opinion by Daves!!! The app opened and QR code open and ready for your turn to get the free slider. If 13 to 15 minutes pass while waiting in line and you are at register ... it ran out of time to be able to be used or opened again cuz time ran out. Screen shots also wont work. What a killin' dave made cuz those people would rather pay for it now than go without getting one. This review is for menifee ca location. read more

I tried the "reaper" level, and let's just say my mouth went on a spontaneous vacation to a lava pit. It was delicious but definitely not for the faint of heart (or anyone with a weak tolerance for heat). The chicken was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, and the fries were so good I almost asked for a second serving. The only reason I'm holding back that fifth star is because the place is so popular that there was a bit of a wait. But hey, good things come to those who wait (and who can handle a little heat). If you like your chicken with a side of challenge and a lot of flavor, Dave's Hot Chicken is worth the visit! read more

Ordered online for pickup and I picked up my food and I got home checked my food and there was two plates of food missing so now I have to go back to Dave's and ask them for my missing food, also my food is going to be cold now read more

Jasmine at the front is excellent help and super friendly!! She got my food out to me faster then i can fill my drink and find a spot to sit n wait, THATS the best customer service if you ask me. It was very fresh and spicy, DEFINITELY my go to for chicken every once in a while. And you cant forget about the free slider on Drakes bday. This location is nice & clean. 5 stars in my book for the staff and the food. Maybe add a few more parking spots tho lmao. read more

The food was honestly amazing. Everything was seasoned perfectly and it just tasted delicious. Also Diana was the one helping us and she really did an amazing job. She was making sure everything came out fresh and it was just perfect. Also, the vibe of the store is just perfect. I really love everything about Dave's Hot Chicken in North Hollywood. read more

I ordered take out from here and had a bad experience. My whole entire meal tasted old. The fries tasted stale. The chicken was dry af and tasted old. It's annoying that the menu is so easy but kitchen still manage to mess up and put out crap quality. lol. read more

It's a great location. It's a great aesthetic. The team working are super kind and patient and want to assist. Buttttt.... The food is a bit salty so that's my only complaint. And my next complaint was that Medium had NO kick to it. It tasted just like a regular chicken sandwich. I love everything about the place and even the presentation of the food. The drink station is self served. The price was reasonable. The Cole slaw in the chicken Sandwich is really good. The bun is very fluffy. The fries are very decent and the seasoning was perfect. But the chicken patty is salty which the Cole slaw provided the sweetness and cut the salt but you have to have a slaw bite in there. I gave it a try. It was ehh... read more
