    Bomb food. Lots of flavor. You can choose how hot you want it. Pretty cool little place. There's cashiers and self order

    *New* Daves Mini Sliders w/ Fries with Mac & Cheese

    Staff were efficient and fast and I love how there are kiosks so you can pick at your own pace. The staff were on it, making sure that every table was cleaned and wiped down quickly. It wasn't busy at the time we came in and food came out quickly. I love that they had the option for the mini chicken bites, they were the perfect size for not being too hungry for a full sandwich. Note - the medium is not spicy at all to me, so if you're looking for actual spice go up a level

    Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries

    The chicken tenders can either be a hit or a miss -- juicy & tender or dry & semi-tender. The amount of batter used is good. Nice crisps. I love the smoked paprika seasoning concept, but I personally find it a bit overwhelming. Which explains why their sauce really compliments along with it. Their sauce though. *french kisses/* Delicious! We ordered their medium spice, IMO, not spicy at all. (Please note that we have a higher tolerance for spicy food.) Good service and plenty of parking space~

    I have been hearing wonderful things about this place, so it was finally my time to give it a whirl. When an establishment has a limited menu- chicken sandwich or chicken tenders, it better be damn good and I am happy to report that they knocked it out of the park. The chicken is truly the star, it was crispy, moist and the seasoning was on point. Finally an establishment that understands chicken needs heavy seasoning. The seasoning wasn't just on the crispy exterior but actually penetrated the meat - Bravo!! I loved the sweetness of the bun, the pickles in the sandwich and on the side. My only criticism was the slaw, I wish it was pickled to give a nice acidity to cut the richness of the chicken. But other than that, this place is a win!

    Dave's Hot Chicken is a chain that is welcome addition that serves solid hot chicken sandwiches. With more fried chicken sandwich places opening up, I am glad there now are more options in Marin! While Dave's doesn't do anything unique or spectacular to the fried chicken sandwich, I was not complaining. Located in the Vintage Oaks Shopping Center, Dave's is pretty spacious with plenty of indoor and outdoor seatings. Ordering is easy as going up to the counter with your order number being called out for pickup. Both times I have gone the turnaround time has been quick. As mentioned previously, I found both the friend chicken and chicken tender good. I wish the sandwich had a little more slaw with a little more balance from the sauce. However, the chicken itself has the right amount of crunch while still being juicy. While I can handle spice, i have found medium being perfect to enjoy the heat while not getting to the point where I feel pain :D Overall, Dave's in Novato is a good to get your fried chicken fix,

    First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and I'm glad I picked this location! The woman working the register was nice and helpful in explaining the spice levels - I went with medium since she said mild is not spicy at all. Medium spicy tasted barely spicy to me but very flavorful and juicy regardless. I think I will try Hot next time. I ordered the tenders with fries and a small vanilla milk shake. Everything was really good. She recommended adding honey to the chicken and I second it. The Dave's special sauce reminds me of the Chick Fil A sauce/spicy mayo. The fries were one of the best crinkle cut fries I've ever had - well seasoned and fried perfectly (light crunch on the outside with a soft center). Vanilla milk shake was nothing special but it still paired well with the meal. I was eyeing someone else's slider which has slaw in it. The tenders were very crunchy so it would've been nice to have a salad with it.

    3rd trip here and the food is consistently good. You can customize your spicy level from mild to blazing if you can take the heat . They have various fountain drinks to choose from as well as bottle options. The food is hot and does taste delicious, the tenders They also offer several options for milkshakes too, you can save that for dessert

    First time I got introduced by my son to try this restaurant while visiting Novato. Why ? I always thought since the restaurant's name had HOT Chicken that all menu will be spicy! My son ordered online for pick up! Upon reading the menu it had several heat level of their mixture of spices : No Spice Lite Mild Mild Medium Hot Extra Hot Reaper I got Lite Mild Single Slider which was served in a potato bun with kaleslaw, pickles, added cheese, chicken tender was drizzled with their signature sauce. Was not disappointed, it was yummy. Chicken Tender was so tender and juicy which was just coated perfectly with lite mild rub . I enjoyed every bite and now I am a fan!

    NOVATO - HAS DAVES HOT CHICKEN!!! I love Dave's for the food & service. The chicken is plump & juicy. Service is quick & friendly. Sit in or outside with a fast food service style. Perfect for a quick bite! SPICE LOVERS: Challenge yourself to do the REAPER - it's not that bad, promise ‍

    My partner and I have eaten here twice since they opened and their sliders are pretty good! Tender, juicy chicken, crispy fries and extra pickles with each order. The first time we had it, we went a bit safe because we never had Dave's before and wasn't sure how hot each level was. We ordered some sliders with a range of spice levels, from medium, extra hot, and reaper. We also got one hot tender. I can say that the medium and hot was not spicy and that's coming from someone who can't handle spice that well. I was a little too confident thinking I could handle the reaper because the other levels weren't spicy.... what a mistake because my mouth was on fire. My partner considers himself as the spice king and didn't think the reaper was spicy and only gave a little kick. He rated it a 2/10 on the spice. We came back a second time and decided to up our spice levels. My partner thought he could handle the reaper again but this time, he said it was a 9/10 on the spice. I could tell he was physically suffering and was sweating like crazy! It was coated with lots of spices so I guess maybe it depends on who's making the chicken. Overall, we really like Dave's and will be back. It's a great addition to Vintage Oaks!

    Well they did the damned thing! Wow wow wow. This is chicken at its best. Tender, juicy chicken breast with aggressively seasoned coating that sticks to the chicken. Every bite - spicy how I like it, seasoned to perfection, delicious. Ahhhhh so good. It was crunchy, hot, juicy, steamy-tender heat hot and absolutely unapologetically delicious! Fries seasoned with flavor flavor flavor. Dave's special sauce packets to drench everything in creamy deliciousness The Mac and cheese was bad. All sauce and no gooey cheese. It's a preferential thing. Strawberry shake was ice creamy bliss. This was everything I love about fried chicken. All of it. Never change. Always give this level effort. Hot freshly cooked chicken. Go now. Eat well. Workout in the morning. Everyone on staff today - congrats, a fiver for perfection because you did the damned thing. I'll be back. (Arnold on Netflix is an entertaining watch while eating this food) Did I see one of these in SoCal?

    Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries! Yum!

    I'd been meaning to try Dave's Hot Chicken the last couple times I was in LA, but never got the chance. I happened to be in Novato, came across this location, and jumped at the chance! First off, the gentleman at the counter was very friendly and helpful. I told him I have a pretty high spicy tolerance, and asked him if I'd be ok with the "hot" spiciness level. He said yes, and he was right! I was totally fine with it, and next time I'll probably try the next level up! As far as food goes, I ordered the slider and strip combo. The chicken is super flavorful and juicy! It honestly lives up to the hype, and then some! Also, this meal comes with tons of food. I was super full! Lastly, if you check in on Yelp, you get a free milk shake! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area!

    My coworkers decided the grand opening was the perfect place to order our weekly lunch. What they didn't know was how long the line would be. Went past the gate the entire time I was there. The wall decor/paintings are really cute, the tables were nicely spaced as well. They have a large table that could fit 8-10 people, perfect place for hanging out. They were giving away little chicken keychains or temp tattoos for their opening. The staff are all very nice and patient. I ordered a lot of items and they only got one thing wrong, that's pretty good considering I typically have more wrong when we order for the office (min 7 people and up to 12). I got the food quicker than I expected. I was waiting about 25 minutes for an order of $150+ for 7 meals. The food is as good as it gets and I'm so happy more places are opening up in Novato! The Carolina reaper isn't as hot as I remember but I have been eating ghost pepper daily so I'm not surprised. My coworker was tearing up after having a small bite of my sandwich he cut off. They gave a lot pickles! Very happy with that. Will definitely be eating here fairly often!

After talking with the person taking orders I went with the Chicken Sando with Medium+ heat and side of Mac & Cheese, Also got the Loaded Fries as well. Chicken Sando was nice and crispy and flavorful, sauce, coleslaw and pickle with the chicken was pefect combo. Next time I'll go up 1 heat level as I found the Medium+ wasn't warm enough for me. The side of Mac & Cheese was ok, I wish they had some hot sauce I could have added to it. The Loaded Fries were really good, the combo of the pickles, sauce, chicken, fries and coleslaw hit perfectly ! my only complain was for $15 I wish I would of gotten more for my money. Not that I dislike Dave's Hot Chicken but overall I preferred the chicken here over Dave's, would recommend this to anyone who likes Spicy Chicken.

It's nostalgic and satisfying. I've passed by this place probably hundreds of times and I never once considered going in and trying their food. I have never liked fast food fried chicken. Ever. Today my mom and I peeked in here randomly and she immediately jumped on ordering the BLT on rye (which she loved!). I ordered the gyro and fries but the owner misheard me and I instead got what tasted like homemade potato chips. They were not the slightest bit greasy warm out of the oven and some were a little soft and others were very crispy so it tasted homemade. I needed salt/pepper and then they were perfect. Although my gyro didn't have a lot of meat, the lettuce and veggies on top were abundant and super fresh! I ate it with a fork like a salad, light on the meat. With the yummy light dressing it came with, it was the perfect dinner for me tonight. I feel sated and that it was pretty healthy. They also had a bunch of traditional sandwiches on their menu like a Philly cheeseteak, jalapeño and avocado burger, fish and chips, etc. So, now that I've broken the seal and realize you don't have to get fried chicken when you come here, I will be trying all the above over the next few months whenever I get that diner food itch. I'm thinking maybe a post hike Mexican burger on Sunday. ****Regulars here, please DM me ideas for what to order.

Perfectly moist and delectable bite after bite. The portions are so huge that even a healthy eater like myself will manage to bring home a few pieces to eat later. And eat them with gusto, cold! The service is excellent, even when they are packed and the service is not speedy, you hardly notice because its always so friendly, and well, love takes time! Everything I ever ate there was sublime. Chicken and waffles, gumbo, red beans and rice, po' boys... and don't get me started on those scrumptious beignets! Oh my word! Perfectly crispy on the outside, light and fuffy inside, showered in a snowy confectioners magic and served piping hot. Never too sweet, and not even a hint of oil. If you think fresh warm doughnuts are crave-worthy, these will take you to Nivana and back with just one bite. The atmosphere is lively and cozy and above all, friendly.

Sadly- devastatingly, Michelle served me my last meal there on January 9th at approximately 9:00am. Six hours later she closed the doors on the final day of business. It will be missed by many. The town itself will miss the energy Michelle and her crew brought to the boulevard. Good luck on your next adventure, and keep in touch!

Having visited New Orleans earlier this year, I was so excited to try this place! As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was transported back to NOLA! There were beads hanging and Mardi Gras decorations throughout the restaurant. Since it was a weekday, there was no wait and we had our choice of sitting inside or out. We opted for inside. Our server was warm and friendly, bringing us water promptly. We started off with an order of beignets. It arrived with three big pieces. They were freshly fried and doused in powdered sugar. So good! My daughter ordered the chicken and waffles, while I decided to try the everything gumbo. The chicken and waffles was huge! It came with several pieces of fried chicken that was topped with freshly minced garlic and came with a homemade spicy sauce. My daughter loved it! I tried a bite and thought it was tasty as well. She ended up taking half of it home. The everything gumbo was also delicious! It was a little thin in my opinion, but the flavor was amazing! It was truly authentic and I could taste all the seafood that was in it. I finished my entire bowl! Unlike the chicken and waffle, it was appropriately sized. When I went to pay the bill, there was a sign that said "free beignets if you pay cash." So of course, I paid our bill in cash! Luckily, I had enough cash on me. Can't pass up a deal like that! All in all, it was a very enjoyable meal! If I'm ever in the area, I'd definitely go back to The Hummingbird!

    I was born and raised in Novato. Not really proud of it, zero culture, boring, but it does have…read moreItalian Delite! I've been eating here since the mid 1990s, happy its still here!F riendly faces, zero ambience, but you're here for the food and affordable prices. In 1996, I was making $4.75/hour California minimum wage. In 2026, its now $17, or even $20 for fast food workings. The fresh, hot, crispy, and toasted sandwiches are always a "Delite"! Prices have increased over the years, but not offensively. My recent Assorted Delite "half" sandwich was $11.50 but still as big and ginormous as I last remembered and plenty of food for one big person like myself. The fresh rolls is toasted perfectly, not burnt, the inner white bread stays fluffy and doughy. There is enough ham, pastrami, and salami proteins to keep you satisfied, and just the right amount lettuce, tomato, and onion. The ingredients are nothing exotic, but somehow this magical delicious combination can't seem to be replicated anywhere else in the world except humble, dull, sleepy Novato California. Why? $11.50 might be seem pricy...but in 1996, I was making $4.75/hour California minimum wage. In 2026, its now $17, or even $20 for fast food workings. 11.50/17 = .67 $4.75 X .67 = $3.18 would be the 1996 inflation adjusted price. I would've found that a fair price back then, and today.

    Always ask for your sandwich toasted. Trust…read more So yeah, the sandwiches are pretty straightforward, nothing fancy which is a-ok with me. I enjoyed the turkey one, the meatball one, and the cheesesteak one (I order that one too many times) If your sandwich isn't toasted, it's a really different experience. Get it toasted. Trust. The portions are huge. Two people can eat a full size and be pretty content if you aren't a big eater Straightforward sandwiches, fair price, nice small business, what more can you want? OMG there was this crazy post on Reddit about an "overpriced" sandwich shop in Marin that pretty much expedited their closure. That's sad. I love small businesses. Get your sandwich here and not that five dollar foot long corporate ripoff or overpriced places. It works. I like what works.
