    I came for the viral mozzarella sticks Very similar to 's The cheese pull is what got me! First time - and I didn't realize the different heat levels So I tried a mild, medium...and then on another visit a hot Hot is really ...hot Their chicken was delicious Interesting they only sell sandwich as a slider

    Maria R.

    First time here the cashier was friendly along with the rest of the staff, place was clean which is always a plus , there's outdoor seating outside, service was quick, lots of graphics on the wall . Got the mozzarella on hot and it was spicy but manageable, I love the pickles they use and their cold ! Also got the 2 piece tenders on mild w/fries those are good especially using honey it's even better, also got the tender slider combo w/mac n cheese also good , drinks come separately not included with combos just so you know and there's also milkshakes! Will come back

    The chicken at Dave's is so good. Each tender had a crunchy exterior and tender interior. The fries were also crispy and flavorful. Very slow service!

    We got the fried chicken slider and tender and everything was delicious! Fries were tasty and seasoned well. The chicken portion size were large and thick. Delicious! Must try!

    Even I can't believe that I've never eaten at Dave's Hot Chicken until recently! Decided it was finally time to try it. After studying the menu, I decided to get Dave's #2 meal which comes with two sliders and fries. Went for a medium slider and mild slider. I think I must be too used to Howlin' Ray's medium packing a punch, because this medium was not anywhere close to that. Still tasty though! Staff were really friendly. Made sure I had everything I needed and even recommended trying the honey with the slider. Worth trying again for sure.

    While it might not quite reach the heights of Howlin' Ray's reputation, Dave's still holds its own as a good spot for some tasty spicy chicken tenders. Dave's Hot Chicken delivers a satisfying experience for spicy chicken tenders, juicy on the inside with a solid spicy kick on the outside. The sauce and honey add a nice balance of sweet and heat, enhancing the overall flavor. Each slider comes with a tender, slice pickles, and coleslaw, which adds a refreshing crunch and contrast in texture, my favorite item here. The fried cauliflower, coated in the same flavorful spice, is crispy and delicious. If you are craving for something spicy, this is a good place to go.

    This location has been open for a few months, so decided to try it. Ordered two sliders (lite mild) with fries. The sandwiches come with Dave's sauce, coleslaw and pickles - yummy! There is indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of parking in the strip mall. Staff was friendly and our order was ready in a few minutes!

    Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries
    Kenny J.

    Ordered: - 2 sliders and fries (4/5): We ordered a lite mild and a medium slider. The medium slider was perfectly spicy for me, but the lite mild wasn't spicy at all for my gf who normally is pretty sensitive to spice. The sliders were super juicy paired with a flavorful and slightly sweet flavor from the buns. The fries were tasty but the portion was pretty small for the combo - we had expected it to be enough for two! There were extra pickles on the side to pair with the sliders, which we appreciated though. I also really enjoyed their slaw since it was made with kale instead of normal chicken slider slaws! I This wasn't too heavy despite our impressions when we ordered so we'd definitely get this again. - Daves bites (medium) (4.5/5): The nuggets were super juicy. This is an easy pick for a side order. Overall (4/5): This was our first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and we were pretty impressed, especially since we ordered it to go so we only got to eat about half an hour after picking up the food. We'd get it again in the future!

    I would leave right now if you'd come with me  Two Extra Hot () Tender Combo from #DavesHotChicken
    Mojo S.

    Another great example of this franchise. The pieces were on the larger side, which is good, because sometimes I'll wander into a joint and their pieces are on the skinnier side. They also seemed to use a bit more seasoning, which is fine by me because it gave the tenders a punch of flavor. I'm not a huge fan of the space as it's a bit open, and a bit like eating at food court. But I guess that's better than being cramped up. The service was good, although she didn't offer the pickle slices like you're supposed to and I kind of was missing being able to cleanse my palate between tenders. I still like this spot though so it's not like I really had a bad meal at all.

    Fast food fried hot chicken with a few dine in tables. + Dave's combo 3 ($13.99): lite mild tender, slider, and fries. Tender and fries weren't crispy, and felt they could've given more fries. Enjoyed the slider bun and slaw! Definitely could go higher in spice (6.7/10(

    Debbie D.

    I come here occasionally with my boyfriend & it hits every time. The fries are cooked & seasoned well. The chicken isn't dry & flavorful. Service is quick! There's indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, I haven't had a disappointing moment here.

    A Dave's Hot Chicken in Rowland Heights YAY!!! Finally!! The flavors here are absolutely INSANE. The chicken is everything you want, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated in seasoning that actually has flavor, not just heat for the sake of it. I love that you can choose your spice level, so whether you're here for a little kick or you wanna burn your mouth off, it's always delicious. The sliders are massive and loaded with sauce and slaw, and the pickles cut through all the richness perfectly with that tangy crunch. And the mac n cheese?? Creamy, cheesy, and the perfect comfort food side to balance out the spice. Pairing it all together makes the meal feel complete. This spot is gonna be DANGEROUSS

    Dave's #3: 1 Tender & 1 Slider with Fries
    Eric H.

    Dave's Hot Chicken recently opened in Rowland Heights at the old PizzaRev location, next to Dean and Higo Express. Alright guys, I started with the fries and it was bomb. Crispy on the outside and steaming hot, moist on the inside. After 3 pieces of fries, I took a bite of the slider and was like "Wow! It's pretty darn good." I went back to the fries to enjoy it some more with the sauce this time. And then I took another bite of the slider and bit a really dry and stale part of the chicken. Not sure what had happened but parts of the chicken was not good. Kind of like a piece of chicken that you left out overnight then microwaved; the chicken was tough to chew like a jerky.

    I order from here somewhat often. Slow service, routinely behind online pickup estimates. Wasn't always like this.

    Large parking lot with plenty of parking. Never have to wait line. Restaurant has plenty of…read moreseating but I think most people order to go. They are a bit limited in flavor options.

    While driving by the area, I saw this establishment with a unique name for a Korean wing…read morerestaurant. And then after seeing some really good reviews on Yelp, I decided to check this place out by calling in a 30-piece order (with Buffalo and Garlic soy sauce flavored) for takeout (weekday around dinner time). I was able to place the order fairly quickly, and was told the order should be ready in about 20-30min. Once I arrived at the restaurant, the person working at behind the counter was very friendly. I was told to wait for a few minutes as my order was about to be ready for pick up. Wings wise, these are some big wings! Both the Buffalo and the Garlic soy sauce flavored wings were perfectly seasoned, and yet not overly wet (eg. Heavily dripped with sauces). Definitely some pretty good wings in my opinion as someone who had eaten plenty of wings from many establishments. For sure a great value considering the price and the quality of the wings. From what I spent on this order, I will most likely only get half the order size at other wing places, Korean or otherwise. Will definitely order again to try other flavors. There are plenty of parking nearby the establishment as it is located in a large strip mall between Nogales and Colima. The establishment itself has plenty of seating area inside. Worth checking it out if you are craving for Korean chicken wings.
