    When I get home I realize my order is wrong that I didn't get my cheese fries. Missing my cheese on fries.. Yes I paid extra for it.

    The one time Michelle did her thaaaaaang! Thank you for the service!

    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!

    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.

    Supposed to be saucy bites but where is the sauce ?

    Usually, they would get five stars but this particular day they get 1. I think my picture will tell it all I work down the street from this restaurant and myself and my coworkers come there a lot so I guess I should just be happy that even though nasty and look nasty I got a free drink for it

    Nice environment

    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

    Chicken

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

    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.

    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.

Don't want to be sweating while you're eating. Coming from highland/redlands, I am happy that there is a ayce kbbq spot in close proximity. Starting with cons: the parking is absolutely terrible. Parking spots are cramped and there's simple not enough spaces, especially during peak times. Pros: now as a long time ayce bbq lover, I understand that red castle quality is not top tier and I don't expect it to be when I go. I view red castle as an affordable joint to get my brisket and beef belly fix, which are the only two items that I basically get. It's odd reading about others experience with service, because every time I go, the service is always fast. I don't need to ask for the grill change because they are fully staffed and consistently checking in. Sure, the hospitality could improve a little but realize what you're going in there for. To stuff ya face! If you're coming here and comparing this place to other kbbq joints, you'll surely be let down. But to enjoy ayce protein for ~25 bucks without having to clean and prep a solid meal, many would realize the true gem that is Red Castle. I remember when their ayce was 13-15 bucks when they opened. Those were the days. I'm also glad that they allow single dining during the week. Not something that I'm able to take advantage of most of the time bc of work but I'm glad it's offered. To all the kbbq snobs (I'm one of them still). Go pay 40 for ayce somewhere else and be happy. Red castle is my go to for a quick fix that is close to home and affordable.

Personally, I felt like the shawarma bread was quite dry, but the garlic sauce and hummus helped it out. The shawarma chicken was flavorful and filling! It was still very yummy the next day. I also loved how they served us warmed up pita bread after noticing ours was cooled down. I'll keep coming to support this local spot!

For a Saturday at 4:30pm, we were seated and waited on immediately. The menu was expansive and I was surprised with the amount of vegetarian options for a Chinese restaurant. Our server was helpful in suggesting various fish options and knew their wait times. Some notable dishes were the sizzling beef with black pepper, beef scallion rolls, honey walnut chicken, mapo tofu, and fried chicken. The dishes that could be improved for flavor were the vegetarian steamed dumplings, steamed whole fish, and beef chow fun. We probably ordered around 8-10 plates (all dishes came with rice) and many arrived at the same time. The prices were very reasonable for the portions and it was just enough for everyone. Since we had a birthday celebrant, they were able to put our personal cake in the fridge. Our server provided a complimentary matcha cheesecake and candle towards the end of our meal. His robot server sidekick also sang happy birthday! I did feel like they were understaffed because the lobby hostess had to find the server for me several times when I asked for our cake and the check. Overall, it's a great place for large groups and celebrations.

My wife and I came here because of the great reviews, and the food absolutely lived up to the hype. The menu is somewhat limited, but I'd rather see a restaurant focus on doing a smaller number of dishes exceptionally well than offer a huge menu with mediocre food. Be prepared to wait. On a Sunday lunch, there were only two parties ahead of us, and our first dishes still took about 25 minutes to arrive. The samosa plate, garlic nann, chicken tikka masala, and lentil soup were all excellent. Easily some of the better Indian/Pakistani food I've had in the area. The problem was our shrimp karahi. While we were eating everything else, it still hadn't arrived. I asked our server about it and was told it was "almost ready." We continued eating, finished our entire meal, and still no shrimp karahi. It finally arrived after we were completely done eating. Not only was there no apology, but nobody even acknowledged the delay. I was ready to tell them to take it back, but my wife convinced me to keep it since the food was good and we could have it for lunch the next day. Food: 5 stars Service: 2 stars
