We decided to head over to Dave's Hot Chicken for our typical Friday night dine out for the family. I didn't want to place my order online because I was driving over from Riverside and wanted to make sure I would have my food hot when I took it home. The restaurant was very busy, as would be usual for a Friday evening. We placed our order at the counter with the sweetest young woman behind the counter. SHe was patient and explained all the different options to us. It appeared there was only one other person working in the back. Needless to say, orders were deep. There was a man (we assumed he was a food delivery driver), who was visibly upset at the staff because part of his order wasn't ready. He was getting loud with the sweet young woman behind the counter. The young man who was working in the kitchen came out to have an explaination of the situaiton to the angry man. It took a while for us to get our order. I'd say at least 30 minutes. Once we were called up, we just picked up and left. We didn't check our order before we took off. We got back home in Riverside, unloaded everything, and realized one meal was missing from the order. I decided to call the store to let them know. I spoke to Joey, who identified himself at the night manager. I told him how the young woman behind the counter never lost her cool and how busy the restaurant was. Joey apologized for the failure and offered to make it right. We worked together to come to an agreement where we would come back another day and they would replace the missing meal. We came back on the day we said we would. The young man behind the counter didn't seem to know what I was talking about even though Joey said he'd leave a detailed note. No matter, I had my receipt with me and presented it along with a short story of the situation. The young man placed an order in the kitchen for us. We had our replacement meal in about 10 minutes. Honestly people... be nice. It's not hard. Things happen. Just use the nice words you have in your vocabulary and let the restaurant attempt to make it right. We'll be back. Dave's is good stuff. read more

I tried to like the food at this place but no matter what I do I can't seem to bring myself to. The first time i went I ordered the dave's bites with fries it was very salty. 2nd time was the same very salty. I will never go back. Fo staff they are very friendly. Service is good. Price is affordable. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken never disappoints! The chicken is crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor, and the fries and sauce are the perfect combo. The spice levels actually bring some heat without taking away from the flavor. Great portions, great food, and definitely worth coming back for. Easily one of my favorite spots for chicken! read more

The food tasted great. Reminds me of home. The service was exceptional thanks to the Michelle and staff. She made the experience memorable and went above and beyond. I really hope she becomes a leader within the establishment. You can train employees how to do the job. But you can't train the passion. Thank you staff and special shoutout to Michelle! Keep climbing up! read more

Generally pretty good, comparable to Baba's Hot Chicken or any of the other hot chicken places. Dave's tends to be a little spicier, I think, although it's also somewhat variable based on location. Mac and cheese here is good, and the full-size sandwiches are great (crispy, flavorful, decent value). Not a fan of the mini-sliders, though. They're really small and super sad looking. Their size also means they don't hold up well-- Unless you eat them immediately, they get soggy FAST. So definitely don't order them for takeout. read more

Usually, they would get five stars but this particular day they get 1.

Dave's Hot Chicken - Supposed to be saucy bites but where is the sauce ? - Halal Near Me - San Bernardino, California

Order took over 30 mins cooks did not prioritize customers waiting. There was no mention of a wait time. I was not even offered free food after waiting 35 mins and missing my lunch. I left hungry after waiting 35 mins and I am diabetic. I asked for a refund, left quietly and ONE OF THE COOKS WITH SHORT HAIR STARTED HECKLING ME ON THE WAY OUT which is what prompted me to write this review read more

Dave's hot chicken used to be on point. Unfortunately they have gone downhill. Just read my pervious review as we were big fans. They are giving smaller portions/pieces of chicken and they ain't hitting like they use to. Look at all my previous pics they used to be worth the price. Also they don't clean like they used to either. When we went just a few days ago the place was a hot mess and the restrooms were filthy AF! The trash cans were overflowing with trash & the floors and tables had crap all over them. It was so nasty! The only good thing here anymore is the customer service as they are always friendly and welcoming. So Unfortunately we don't see us coming back. read more

Trash service, incorrect pickup time, AND couldn't read that the order said CAULIFLOWER not CHICKEN

Multiple times I've ordered here the service has always been so bad. First time the wait was over an hour before they realized they gave my order to someone else. This last time they told me they were still working on it after waiting for 20 minutes, only to realize after another 20 that it's been sitting on their counter the whole time. Never coming back to this location again. Just inexcusably bad every time read more

The wait time was way too long. The food is good and the ambiance is nice. The staff is friendly as well read more

The most atrocious wait times in all of the IE, with super inaccurate pick up times. The food itself passes when they don't give you all crust sandwiches. Just a mess here, it doesn't matter what time of day or week you will find yourself wasting away as you wait for your food. read more

What can I say about Dave's hot chicken it is amazing. It is fire. It is bomb. I ended up getting two hot chicken sandwiches with fries and man extra coleslaw extra pickle sauce just the way I like it. My wife got the tenders with fries level hot and everything was amazing. Love the service. They have very good customer service here and love the atmosphere. Highly recommend recommended. read more

This was honestly the worst Dave's hot chicken Ive been to, Chicken bites, no flavor, plain chicken, plain breading, absolutely no seasoning, Tender, no flavor, plain chicken, plain breading, Slider, no flavor, plain chicken, plain breading. Give the flour some love. Not sure wth that was... I paid for ranch, didn't get it. I paid for cheese, all I got was a squiggle of cheese on the slider. Customers service was 10/10 The food 0/10. Take your own salt and pepper to this place. You're going to need it. read more

Placed an order though the app on a Friday night My order wasn't ready or even started at the time expected. I waited about 10 minutes and asked the cashier. She was rude, pointed out how busy they were and said to wait. However she did offer me a drink while I wait. We waited 30 additional minutes for my order. The chicken was dry and overcooked, had no flavor. The hot box wasn't labeled and the mild/ medium tasted the same- with no flavor. I absolutely understand that it was busy, but there was no customer service and the food wasn't worth it at all. Maybe it was a bad night, but I'm not looking forward to going back. read more

First time here. Quick, easy, staff friendly and good food. Thank you Damian for additional help

I love dave's hot chicken best tenders out there and provide great service definitely coming here again.

Horrible experience poor taste nasty fries and chicken way to salty and got my food wrong and workers will give you attitude not worth it to be honest. Will never be coming back to this lighting of a scenery again. Plus after taste is like chemicals that just sit terribly read more

No sense of urgency, order was taken, went to get gas , came back still waited another 10 minutes to get my food. Manager Abraham, finally came to the front, no apology, just handed me my food, and sent me on my way. You want to wait over 30 minutes for food, this is your spot!! read more

This was my 1st time trying Dave's Hot Chicken. The chicken strips were ok. Very messy. Regarding service... the front counter is way understaffed. Lots of people waiting a long time to order and even longer to receive their order. 1 person trying to work the entire front counter. Anyway, I don't eat fast food very often, but I'm not overly impressed. Sorry. read more

Chicken slider: bomb! Soft bun, well balanced with slaw, pickle, sauce, chicken. Medium spice is the expected heat for medium. I could go hot next time. Loved the extra slaw and pickles. Ask for honey and extra Dave sauce Mac n cheese: mid. Saucy American cheese. Helps cool down the heat but not the best Kale Slaw: bomb! Adds crisp fresh element to this slider Fries: did not try but kid says they're "trash" haha read more

Food takes a bit long however is always super tasty whenever i go, not to mention every time i go isaiah is super helpful and working hard!

I'm waiting for my food, which has been almost an hour. I ordered online because this place takes a long time to prepare meals. This isn't the first complaint; every time I visit, they get my order wrong or miss items, and I end up driving back to the restaurant to get my order right. To the owners, please improve your service--I would hate to stop coming here. Thanks to the Yelp reviewers, and I hope everyone has a great rest of their day! read more

The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and perfectly seasoned. Special thanks for the fantastic recommendations and attentive service. We will definitely be returning! Only downside was the wait time. read more

Waited 40 minutes for food after ordering from kiosk. I don't mind waiting during busy hours but here is my main complaint: Employee took out the trash with bare hands and took it to dumpster. After that, I watched said employee come inside and NOT wash hands after taking out the trash, then proceeded to check orders with the same hands he used to take out the trash. Got my food and my chicken was burnt. Slow service and unclean. read more

42 minute wait and they hadn't even started my order!!!! Had to get a refund didn't even get to try the chicken. Place was filthy as well. Will not be back! read more

I ordered my food online 20 minutes prior to arriving at the restaurant. When I got there, my name was on the screen under the "order ready" column. I asked about my food and the person at the handout counter just yelled to the kitchen that I was there and then they started cooking it. I understand it can get busy, but it was not busy at this time. I was also not told on when my food would actually be ready, and the person helping out just left the counter to go on her break. read more

Long story short, I was extremely hungry at work and couldn't leave. I looked on the DoorDash app and noticed Dave's hot chicken there. I ordered two sliders with the cold slaw, extra pickles, cheese fries, and a Coke Zero. Never really thought I would like it until I realized that I could choose my spice level. I thought it was naturally HOT chicken, and I'm so happy with spice. Food was packed and delivered very fast. The only thing is the sauce that is typically in the box with the sandwiches was not there But overall, the food was delicious! read more

What a hidden gem! The place could use better seats and tables but I'm giving the staff and the food five stars! We've already been here twice since finding out about this spot in about a week. Music not too loud, a bit cold since the doors kept being opened and it was late at night. The place gets busy! The chicken is super juicy and flavorful, bomb fries and Mac n cheese. Love the sauce and they even have honey! My go to spot during late hours from here on out. Good prices and even better food! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Halal Near Me - San Bernardino, California

I used to tell everyone I know about Dave's from when they first opened their location on Harriman in San Bernardino but as the years have gone by, this place has gone absolutely downhill. I placed an online order and it said would be ready by 6:45. Order was not given to us until 7:20. We asked multiple times about our order and each time, they did not give us a time estimate but instead they just told us to keep waiting. Customer service was awful, employees were so unfriendly and impatient. They are like this every time I come in. They finally called our order and we still had to wait for them to find the correct bag; turns out it was the bag that had been sitting there all along even when asked multiple times about it. Our food was cold when we received it and don't even get me started on the quality. The taste has gone down tremendously, "hot" isn't even spicy anymore, it's just mild at best. The fries were soggy too. This location on Harriman in San Bernardino has fell off in terms of service and quality. Used to rave about Dave's but I won't be eating here anymore. Please at least hire some competent people at this location. read more

Sooo I went in today as usual to get my lunch and there was a very very rude lady named ana I believe she was yelling at customers and at her staff... She was making it a very hostile environment I don't think I'll be dining here as long as that lady is here even when she called numbers she was rude to customers as well idk what her problem is but I love this place but her being her may have this place empty in no time. My advice... I'd fire her before your crew leaves or worse gets sued Ana something she wasn't a normal crew member here I come here often read more

Picked up dinner for the family at Dave's and it was an okay experience! I stopped by around dinner time and a somewhat big order so I had the expectation that I would wait some time for sure. There was no line when I got Inside, the employee was nice but she was distracted and not really focused on my order, I didn't have any special requests though so thankfully it was all right. I ended up waiting about 25 minutes for our food to come out, not entirely sure what happened but for about 10-15 there were no orders called at all. Finally got my food took it home and we all enjoyed, the food itself was very good, perfectly cooked chicken and fries with just the right amount of spice. The food was great, but I'm not sure id wait that long again even for how good it was. I'll try another location next time! read more

This was a different experience, heard so much about the place but the seasoning was okay. At one point it became overwhelming and not good.

went to Tudes hot chicken yesterday to try it out I'm sorry it may be all the rage but it's just another fast food place and it's not that great. The greatest thing about the places you can get something to eat for $6.99 with a drink $12.99 for one person so it's cheap compared to everything else. But I didn't taste anything to write home about the chicken was just so so it was like getting chicken at Albertson's the fries were covered and they were OK one thing that really annoyed me about the place was that they asked for a tip when all they do is cook the food that put me off tipping is for service and with no service they don't even serve you at the table it's just you go in order and take your food that's me doing my own service so I wasn't impressed with that part either. T he place was pretty clean the person that takes your order was pleasant but really I was let down I won't return. read more
