    Cauli Daves #4: 1 Cauli Slider with Fries
    Melissa L.

    Dave's is a pretty good option for a late night meal, seeing as it's open until 2:30 AM. It's usually pretty busy inside, but there weren't too many people dining in when I visited. Ordering is easy and can be done either at the register or at a kiosk. Staff is pretty friendly as well and I didn't encounter any major issues. For food, I had the Dave's Not Chicken Cauliflower slider and I really enjoyed it, honestly more than I've enjoyed their chicken before. The fries were just okay, I felt they were kind of cold for a dine-in order, but the chicken was still good and pretty juicy.

    We've dined in and done takeout here a few times now, and it's always been consistently good. The chicken is flavorful, portions are generous, and the prices are great for what you get. They're also always adding new items, which keeps it interesting. Today I tried the loaded fries (small), and it was the perfect size for me--so delicious and satisfying. It was also my first time trying the mac and cheese, and it was super saucy and really good. My husband got his usual 2-tender plate, which is always a hit. Overall, a solid spot for casual, tasty comfort food. We'll definitely keep coming back. Also, open late, on delivery platforms and has parking lot for dining in /take out.

    Was in the mood for chicken strips so I stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken in Northridge. I ordered a two tender combo. The combo however, did not include a drink FYI. That's fine, I just ended up ordering a small drink. First impressions: I was impressed by the size of the tenders- they were huge! They were perfectly seasoned and the chicken was fresh. You can tell it had just been prepared and it wasn't sitting out long like other food places tend to do. The fries were fine, they were super fried. I tend to prefer mine not as crispy but they were still really good, especially with the "Dave's sauce" that comes with it. I was ecstatic to see how generous they are with the side of pickles, perfect addition to an already delicious meal. Service was excellent, they were very friendly and attentive which I truly appreciate because these days all we get are Gen Z stares when we ask questions (lol, kidding, but not really). Overall, I will definitely stop by again. The chicken was delicious!

    No sauce,no ketchup, no honey, AND can't even change the soda when it runs out? Plus my tenders were peak cold. Hmm I'm good. Seriously lazy overall. Overrated :(

    I've been to several hot chicken places in the valley and this place is just as good as the rest. What I appreciate, as someone who isn't the best with spicy food, is they have more levels of spice than usual. Light mild is def the way to go. Got the two tenders meal with fries, came with two slices of bread and two pickles. Chicken was well seasoned, fries were delicious. Price was what you expect. Location itself is on the busy reseda street but ample parking in the back. Good amount of seating inside and outside.

    Man that assaulted me inside Dave's hot chicken

    I was pushed out of the way by a customer who verbally assaulted me and was screaming at me .i am 68 years old. I asked them to call 911 and they refused and did nothing to protect me. This was horrible. They watched what was happening and then said they saw nothing so they lie as well. That is horrible management and everyone needs to know that they are not safe in this restaurant.

    Single chicken slider with fries (unseasoned). I ate some fries before I took the picture.  There were more fries.

    This was my first time ever trying Dave's Hot Chicken. First let me say that the customer service was outstanding! Jasmine took my order & she was so nice and had a smile on her face. She genuinely seems to enjoy her job which says a lot these days. I took my order to go. I ordered the #4 which is one chicken slider with fries (mild and I requested no seasoning on the fries). The fries were really good and the portion was plentiful. The chicken was very tender. I was hoping for more slaw on the sandwich. There were only a couple pieces of slaw and a bunch of pickles. The sauce was good. Next time I'll up the spice level a bit. Prices are very reasonable for what you receive. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Casual dining. No drive thru which is a bit disappointing.

    Very clean facility

    Love it! Always crispy and spice on point. Quick and easy, service with a smile. Dining hall and restrooms are clean.

    Brent's Deli is an institution in the San Fernando Valley, and it may just be its best. One thing…read morefor sure, the portions are generally humongous so you will never leave hungry. Nothing succeeds like excess. In fact, most people will need a take out box for one less meal to cook. Delicatessen means delicate eating in German, but at a Jewish American Delicatessen, the emphasis is on the Eating, which I am not complaining. 1) I requested an off menu item of having a Reuben sandwich where half is Corned Beef and the other Pastrami. Brent's Reuben has warm Sauerkraut, grilled Rye bread, melted Swiss Cheese, 1,000 Island dressing. Thinly sliced, multi-layered Mound of Pastrami is a bit on the dry side. Curing doesn't create a deep meaty Umami and spicing is present but attenuated. The Corned Beef is moister with bit more Umami & plush, thin multi-layered red colored meat. I have to say the Pastrami at Langer's is cured more intensely to bring out a deep Umami as well as more complex and complementary spicing of especially warm spiced cloves that adds aromatic richness. Brent's Pastrami doesn't seem to reach that kind of apotheosis. 1b) I asked for the steak fries to be fried two minutes longer for a crisper finish which was honored. Not much in way of that distinctive potato earthiness, but acceptable. 1c) Coleslaw is mayonnaise based, watery, bland, but a good cruciferous, fibrous veggie to add more fibre, healthful phytochemicals to counter the meat overload even though it isn't flavourful 2) Carrot Cake is closer to a delicate, dense, moist spice cake. A slice is enormous since it is cut from an extra tall cake studded with crushed walnuts and a cream cheese like not too sweet frosting. At $14 it could feed 4 people. Service is fine. They take your order and run with it. Bit of tunnel vision where it may be a bit hard to flag them down. But the job does get done. Overall 3+ stars

They prepare their eggs in a very specific, signature style. They are exceptionally soft-scrambled, rich, and velvety. Unfortunately, I ended up having an allergic reaction after eating it on two different occasions. It was severe enough that I actually had to go see an allergist to get tested. The whole situation turned out to be a total medical puzzle. I ended up testing positive on my skin allergy test, but completely negative on my blood tests, and I just recently passed an at-home food challenge test for egg yolk with zero reaction. Because Egg Tuck cooks their eggs so lightly and uses egg-based house sauces, the proteins are a lot less cooked than a fully hard-boiled egg yolk. My experience just goes to show how differently your body can react to highly soft-cooked eggs versus a strict medical food challenge. The fresh avocado and thick brioche bun were delicious. Loved it, but unfortunately due to reactions I will not be ordering again. If you have complex or conflicting egg sensitivities like me, definitely use caution here.
