I came to Dave's hot chicken on a busy Friday night for the first time and was getting nervous it wouldn't be good and enjoyable like Angry Chickz's. Before we get started with that, let's first talk about the atmosphere; the inside is so beautiful and colorful, a small space but not that small. The customer service was super helpful, they gave me some recommendations on what I should get, the only thing I didn't like is I told them I wanted my food delivered in the outside seating and they didn't do that!! Something I would recommend is for you guys to put some speakers outside so you can yell the order out like if you were inside. The thing that I ordered was the number 2 with 2 chicken sliders with fries on the side and also there mac & cheese . The two heat leaves I picked were mild and hot and they recommended adding an american cheese. It is served on a british bun,both were nice and toasted and also a super big chicken, I thought it was bigfoot for a minute lol . Nice and piping hot off the grill!! It got those nice flavors and a little bit of heat. I do want the mild one to be more spicy. It's also super juicy and tender. The hot one is also like this. I prefer that one because it's a good spicy one but I would go higher than the hot one but still super good!!. The fries are filled with a lot of seasoning that is absolutely phenomenal!! One of the best fries you can get piping hot like the chicken sliders. It's super nice and crispy and with that sauce it's on another level, like I never seen a sauce to be that goood!!. Lastly, the mac & cheese has those nice seasonings on top that looks super creamy and it is exactly creamy almost like I'm eating a soup, super cheesy and those noodles are cooked perfectly, also one of the best mac & cheese I have ever tasted absolutely phenomenal!! Overall I highly recommend for you guys to try this place out and just because they didn't deliver my food I'm not going to knock them a star for that because what matters for me is how the food tastes and if I'm not happy then I will knock off a star, I wish I can give more than 5 stars!! A busy night but I was still able to find a good parking spot. read more

Walked in to Dave's hot chicken for the very first time. I must say I was pretty impressed. I was a little hesitant to try the Kaleslaw and to my surprise I really liked it. The fries are delicious and the chicken is very juicy. If I could give a 10 star review to all the staff I definitely would. They went above and beyond to meet all of our needs. They were all extremely friendly and all provided fast customer service. I had the pleasure of meeting Matthew, Jacob, Victor, Adelina, Armando, Mariah, and the manager Jose I can't emphasize enough how wonderful they all work. Thank you all again for your wonderful service!!!!! read more

Amazing service food was so good fresh and the customer service was the best I have ever received in any restaurant. The food was outstanding and the best chicken I have ever ate in my life.

I seen there was a new manager that greated me today Her name was Maria and it was the best part of walking in the door to recieve that warm welcome on top of a amazing service and meal. Keep up the good work. read more

Wow! This was our first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken, and it absolutely blew us away. Hands down, the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The bread was soft, the chicken was fresh, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. I've never been a fan of coleslaw, but theirs was a game changer, such a delicious touch that brought the whole sandwich together. Huge shoutout to Cinthia for being so kind and patient with us. It was our first visit, and we definitely took our time deciding (and changing our minds more than once!). She made us feel welcome and never rushed us. We'll definitely be back, this place is a new favorite! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken is my go to Nashville Hot Chicken spot when I am in LA. I was excited to hear about them coming to the Central Valley, and in Visalia! Visalia has been in need of some new eats, and there ain't no better time than the present. Food was delicious, and matched the same quality os their other locations. The vibes, and ambiance of the restaurant was just as cool as I expected it to be. The service was great considering how packed it was on a Friday afternoon. Will be coming here frequently. Highly recommend! read more

Was craving some chicken and decided to give this place a go. Was not disappointed. I ordered the light mild number 3 and my husband ordered the mild number 1. Both had no heat to them. I disagree with a previous post saying the chicken was too oily. They clearly use an oil based seasoning and that's what was on there. I can confirm that Leah is in fact very nice and greets you immediately upon walking in. The whole place was very clean and comfortable. Will absolutely eat here again. read more

This store is by far the best. From the food to the staff which in my book means they have great leadership. Hubby was craving the sliders and did not disappoint. So flavorful and delicious. Chicken was on point not dry super juicy and moist. The food came out super fast and piping hot. The young man who took our order was super polite and very friendly. Ot is very hard to find that now a days with in the restaurant business. We will definitely be coming back. read more

I would recommend this place to everyone. read more

It was delicious!! My family and I went to try it, and we weren't expecting it would be so delicious. My 13 year old son tried the reaper one, super spicy but delicious. We had a biteand got us sweating in seconds, but my son finished it and loved it. The rest of us tried the hot and it was a good level spicy for us. Very good experience. Super clean. Great service and very friendly, made us feel welcomed. We are definitely coming back. read more

It was delicious exquisite with a hint of spice, including a sauce with a sweet tenderness made from a volcano with a spice slightly bad, but for a good payoff with bread that is exquisite with pickles if you put the chicken on the bread and then dip it into the sauce you will be on heaven the service was pretty good and I like the ambience with tons of colors and everything plus the music was pretty good read more

The food at Dave's was really good and the portions were amazing. Good sized chicken, seasoned perfectly and tasted amazing. The highlight was the man working in the front that day! I believe his name was Nick Garcia. He welcomed me, as well as other customers, and made sure we were satisfied with our stay! Overall, it was a good place to eat and had a welcoming environment thanks to hi. read more
