i came for the first time in a year and it is the best chicken spot, recommend a thousand times for sure

so good great service amazing food. thank the lord for the service and these amazing workers

WOW can't believe I've been missing out this whole time!!!! I tried Dave's hot chicken for the first time today and it was soooo good. I thought it'd be just a whatevers fried chicken place but I was so wrong! I got the top-loaded fries medium spicy. It was probably a 2/5 spiciness for me but my tolerance is pretty high. The fries are crinkle cut and has the perfect blend of salty with a tiniest bit of sweetness. Very well balanced flavor! The mix of spicy mayo, coleslaw, sweet sour tangy salty spices all made my meal so delicious. The chicken is SUPER juicy too!!! I got a regular size for $12-ish which came with 6 chicken bites and I was super full after eating 4 of them and about half my fries. If you haven't tried this place, I highly recommend it! read more

Listen as much as Dave's is good it feels so over seasoned even my tongue needed Lotion so it didn't dry up, the sauce is great. The service there and the people working is amazing. The food though I just can't handle order anything past light heat. Do that and they give you a piece of chicken as red blood. I mean I cannot even taste their chicken all I'm tasting is seven layers of paprika on a dry rub on fried chicken. And it did not live up to my expectations. The internet has been overglazing Dave's for awhile now their sliders are good I will say that but don't order anything that goes past the light heat option or your mouth is gonna be as dry as the desert read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

We ate here for dinner because we wanted a late-evening option. I got the two tenders with fries ($12.99) and an extra tender ($4.99). With medium spice, the chicken tasted excellent and juicy. The pieces were large and nice to eat with the toast and sauce provided. I thought that I could finish all three tenders but, I had to take one remaining and some fries home. The pricing is on the higher side for fast food restaurants, but the high quality here is a fair tradeoff for a nice treat every once in a while. read more

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 read more

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. read more

I love how DHC is expanding... I didn't expect one to open in Rowland area but YAYYY me and the boyfie can come to one closer to him now :-) I usually order the chicken tenders/sandwich combo but I really wanted to try a newer item on their menu, the loaded fries and was not disappointed -- this was everything I was expecting xD I just wish they have more portions of the chicken & more sauce but overall SOO yummy ! Food came out fairly quick too & parking is so ez to find in this plaza. read more

Interior was very stylish, chicken has amazing quality, and the staff are super chill. Would come back.

I ordered regular top loaded fries and a regular Cinnamon Toast Crunch top loaded vanilla shake. There is a couple of different heat levels. I like spicy foods so I ordered very hot which is the second most spicy level. Regular size gets you 6 bites. Since the shake is top loaded make sure to mix in the lolthe top so it is dispersed throughout the shake. The only con is the shake is thick and the straw is not useable right away. The interior was nice. Oldies were playing and it had fun decor. The service was good. read more

Nothing special about this place! We ordered 2 mild chicken sliders with fries and I couldn't finish mine because I didn't like it. The chicken sliders come with a little kale slaw and pickles. My husband didn't care for the food either. Service was ok, you order at the counter and pick up when they call your number. Definitely wouldn't recommend and we are not planning on coming back either but seems like the younger crowd, a lot of kids that worked here were the customers. read more

This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and it's definitely worth the hype! Their new Rowland Heights location is in the Puente Hills Town Center. This fast, casual hit specializes in Nashville -style chicken that's halal-certified, crispy, juicy and tender, with different levels of spice. If you love spice, there's a flavor so hot that you have to sign a waiver. But, don't worry if you can't handle the spice, they have 7 levels of spice to choose from. So juicy with an insane taste! Seasoned to perfection! I don't like super hot myself so spice level was just right. Dave's Hot Chicken Sauce brings that sweet, tangy, and a little bit of spice, which is so tasty and perfect with the sliders or to dunk the chicken tenders and fries in. Drizzle some honey for some extra sweetness. If you love pickles like I do, you'll love these! Their customer service was attentive, helpful and friendly. Kudos to Christina, Angelina, Jazmin and especially, Barbara. It's my new favorite! It's sure to yours too! read more

Just went and had it for the first time. Ive never had Daves Hot chicken before. I was stoked to try their take on the spicy chicken trend. I ordered the 1 sando ,1 tender and fries combo. I Asked "for here" to dine in. Receipt tag also has printed "for here". But they served it to me in a black to-go box and plastic bag. Other customers are dining with there meals on a red tray basket. No biggie but preferred a tray for the dine in experience like everyone else. Onto the Sando. Top bun was warm but bottom bun was refrigerated cold. kinda weird. The chicken tender they have inside was good but i felt the cole slaw they used lacked any flavor. The Tender piece were good and well seasoned for flavor and had good texture. Could be a little. bit more crispier tho. Also the medium spice level can be kicked up a notch. The medium was barely a kick and more like a super mild. In comparison Medium at howling rays kicks up a good sweat going and nose drool for me. The fries were very good and crispy with good seasoning. The come back sauce was very good as well. It comes out of a plastic pouch tho not inna container. So im not sure what kind of processed packaged ingredients comes in it to preserve the sauce. I prefer just having the tender over the sando next time. I would not go for the sando. And if you are hoping its howling rays quality, you are going to be disappointed. read more

SO so happy they opened up a Dave's Hot Chicken close to me! I absolutely love Dave's Hot Chicken and constantly crave it. You can't go wrong ordering the spicy tenders or sliders- the fries are decent but not my fav (just my personal taste). But a definite food staple to visit! This location was great, and the food was ready fairly quickly too. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken in my opinion is one of the better fast food options to choose from from the sea of restaurants that also offer chicken options. The interior was clean, and my food was ready within 5-10 minutes. The chicken were fairly moist and seasoned well. The fries were notably very crispy and fluffy for a fast food fry and we'll seasoned. However, all these positives are at the cost for a relatively high price tag for fast food. Dave's is worth getting for those who do not mind spending the few extra dollars for a better fast food experience. Notably I much more prefer Dave's over their closest competitor, Raising Cane's. read more

Just an update on my review, Dave's hot chicken first offered me a $20 credit for the restaurant after I didn't care for the food. This was escalated to someone at their corporate office who then offered me only $15, which is five dollars less. Mind you I spent $98 only for them to offer me less than the value I was happy to spend at their establishment Make this make sense Dave's hot chicken I submitted this 09/03/2025 you barley responded this week read more

Overall service ambiance were all good and new. Personally not a fan of their spices and could definitely provide more options. I got the hot combo #1 and my stomach hurt afterwards. After I finished the meal I found they gave me the sauce underneath the paper in the tray. Overall If you really enjoy dry rub spices this place is for you. However for me I might eat more raising canes in the time being. read more

I asked for extra cheese when I ordered my meal. I get the meal and there's no extra cheese. In fact there's less. So I ask to speak to manager and this little mad upset about her life woman comes to me with an attitude expecting me to pay for cheese again. And instead of fulfilling the customers satisfaction and putting extra cheese she refused with what seemed like satisfaction. I'll never come here again 0 stars read more

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

I was very skeptical about another chicken place so my wife sent me down during rush hour traffic to pick up the family orders. We all ordered mild a few chicken sandwiches and tenders. I want to say these tenders were massive when compared to other chains like chicken fila or canes, and they were filling and delicious, I have no issues with the straps from here. They were amazing. read more

Ricardo was awesome! Came in pretty close to closing time around 11pm and he had an awesome attitude and is very friendly. I don't usually leave Yelp reviews but always happy to see someone put up a nice front with good attitude especially around closing. Big shoutout to Ricardo. read more

Love Dave's hot chicken. Amazing sliders and service! Friendly team members and positive surroundings. Definitely returning!

Great customer service and great food as well ! I appreciate the Dave's hot chicken team for making everything accordingly

It was my first time trying the restaurant. Truthfully, I was enticed by Tik Tok and the great reviews the food received. I ordered the #1 and the level of spice as medium. Furthermore, the chicken was juicy, flavorful, and tasted fresh or homemade exceeding my original expectations of it tasting commercialized or average fast food quality. Overall, I would definitely eat here again but on my next visit I think I will try the sliders with coleslaw instead because I was not really a fan of eating plain bread with chicken on the side. Nonetheless, I recommend trying the savory food :) read more
