Absolutely great environment very helpful and humble .Jose at the front desk was seriously such a sweetheart

Jose did a great job with us very kind and the food was great. The location is clean and spacious as well.

Dave's Hot Chicken was great. service was fast and friendly. In addition to the order kiosks, a real breathing person will happily take your order. the restaurant was very clean. Now for the chicken, the two slider sandwiches with fries is available in all of Dave's spice libels. I ordered Reaper and, of course, you need to sign their disclaimer. The order was prepared quickly. The Reaper was hotter than last time I ordered it, but it was still great. For people who think Serrano peppers are hot, the Reaper is closer to a habanero hot. Enjoyed the meal. You can choose your heat level from NO SPICE, LITE MILD, MILD, MEDIUM, HOT, EXTRA HOT and REAPER. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - 2 SLIDERS W/ FRIES served with kale slaw, pickles and Dave's sauce - Chicken Shop Near Me - West Covina, California

Dave's is popping up everwhere! I got the mild fried chicken sliders and the flavors were good, but the chicken was unfortunately dry. The sauce and coleslaw were pretty good, but I've definitely had better. If the chicken was cooked well, I could see it being really tasty. I would come back to try other spice levels! Mild wasn't that spicy. read more

I got 4 chicken strips (2 medium and 2 hot) with cheese fries and mac & cheese. Overall, everything was pretty good. Their spice levels seem true to what they advertise. The medium felt closer to a mild, while the hot had a nice little kick to it. The seasoning on the chicken was a bit uneven, with some bites a little bland while others were well seasoned. That said, the chicken itself was juicy and crispy. Dave's sauce was really good. The Reaper Ranch was decent, but Dave's sauce is the one to go with. The fries were crispy and nicely seasoned, and the mac & cheese was creamy, cheesy, and flavorful. The staff was super welcoming, and the service was quick, which made the overall experience even better. read more

I got the 2 tenders meal and felt the food was pretty subpar. The bread was mushy and fries were cold. I had the hot level spice on the tenders, but probably should have gotten hotter since it was pretty mild. There wasn't too much foot traffic here on a Monday night, but still had to wait a good while for the food. There is plenty of space to sit, so I guess that's a plus. read more

Beautiful wall murals, red colored seats and wide open space creates that feeling of awake and ready for good eats. Service good. Ordered Dave's #2. Flavorful tender chicken on soft sweet bun was delicious but a little too spicy for me. Fries ok and tasted seasoned like the chicken. Will come back for sure. read more

Took off a star this time because they gave me someone else's order. Luckily I checked before I was too far away and I went back and grabbed my order. Also, I know extra Dave's sauce is $0.25, but I thought they still give you one with your order. Not sure if they forgot it in my order or if they don't give it to you anymore, but that kind of sucks if they don't. Besides that, food is still really good. read more

I purchased the Dave's #3 (1 chicken tender, 1 slider, and fries). It cost $13.99, and I waited 8 minutes and 48 seconds. The cashier (Nelly) is cordial and professional. Dave's Hot Chicken (West Covina) is a huge disappointment. The chicken tastes watery and mushy. The fries have the flavor and texture of a powdery potato chip. The entire meal tasted defrosted and reheated. This meal screams shortcuts. Dave's Hot Chicken (West Covina) serves wet, spongey chicken. The spice became an afterthought. Dave's Hot Chicken (West Covina) is decorated beautifully. It's located at a busy plaza, and it's very visible. Yet, a bad cook ruins it. I arrived on a Saturday (10:30AM). The ambiance is mixed. The location's interior is magnetic; the chicken artwork is lovely. 70s music (Song: Ain't No Mountain High Enough) played on the speaker. However, beneath the shiny veneer, it's not significant. Several tables were wobbly. And a couple were sticky. The interior is large and somewhat cold. Important Note: [Dave's Hot Chicken (West Covina) does not accept cash. This location only accepts card and contactless payments.] Overall, I regret coming. Bad value and mediocre ingredients. There are many better alternatives. The prepackaged Dave's Sauce and sliced pickles were the highlight of this meal. I hope this place improves. 2/5 read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Lt. is fire chicken sandwich & rt. is regular (no spice) sandwich. Sandwiches have big chicken strips with coleslaw. - Chicken Shop Near Me - West Covina, California

I am so disappointed and disgusted with my experience. I spent $46 for my family to eat all to find a piece of a metal seal in my sandwich the piece was pretty big so I do not know how somebody missed this being in my sandwich. The worst part is I wasn't able to eat my food right away, so I warmed my food up, not knowing the metal piece was inside of my sandwich. Thought it was lettuce when I bit down, but when it did not crunch or break, I pulled it out and to my surprise was super disgusted knowing I was eating a sandwich with metal in it and I just warmed it up wow. and when I called to complain, the phone just tells you to go to the website and leave a review not happy at all.. and I'm not want to complain but I'm sorry this was unacceptable read more

Tried this for the first time. Given the hype I was a little disappointed. The ambiance was really cool and the decor was very nice and vibrant. There's a self serve order or you can ask the cashier what you want. Since it was our first time, we spoke to Jaime who really broke items of the menu for us. There's no real benefit if you wanna order Dave's #1-4. I opted for #3 so I can try with and without the bun. I got Mild for the tender, and Medium for the slider. They offered extra sauce packets on the side. I thought the Medium spicy was less spicy than the mild maybe cuz of the burger ingredients made it less spicy?? The tender is pretty big. The spice is dry spice that is patted on to the tender. The plain tender came with a plain white bread. If you want a wet spice, you have to order Lite Spice so the powdered spice is mixed with oil. I didn't try this but that's what Jaime said. My boyfriend go the Reaper. He had to sign a waiver. He said it was spicy but not like how he imagined. It's just more powder spice than other level spices. It's basically packed with more dry powder spice on the chicken. It's not a lingering spice you typically would experience. It's spicy but it goes away quickly. The fries that came with the combo is too salty. Way too salty. Doesn't taste good at all, I drank so much water just to get rid of the seasoned salt that covered the fries. I like the Canes fries better. In addition, all the combo doesn't include any drink. You'll have to buy drinks separately. We also got a Strawberry Milkshake. It was good. You can get any size you want. read more

Extremely disappointing experience at Dave's Hot Chicken in West Covina. I came in with my nine-year-old son for dinner and spent about $40, expecting at least basic customer service. Instead, we were treated poorly from the start. When we asked for sauce, the staff was rude and dismissive. What made it worse was that their behavior felt intimidating toward my young son. When I calmly brought this to their attention, my concerns were completely brushed off. I later reached out to corporate hoping someone would take this seriously. Unfortunately, that was just as disappointing--my complaint was dismissed, and no manager or administrator ever followed up or showed any concern about the experience. Poor service is one thing, but dismissing a parent's concern about how their child was treated is unacceptable. For the price and the brand reputation, this level of indifference is shocking. I will not be returning and would not recommend this location to families. read more

Second time today at this location and both times have definitely hit the mark! Went on Saturday and today and the lobby was always clean, chairs out away and the person working the expo station were friendly both times. I do a special request on my chicken of no wet rub, and they always make it perfect. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken is easily one of my all-time favorite chicken sandwich spots. The chicken is always huge, super juicy, and packed with flavor. It hits the spot every single time. I usually order through Uber Eats because taking my toddler out of the house just to pick up food is a whole mission--and even with delivery, the quality holds up. The sandwiches still taste amazing, the temperature stays fresh, and the orders arrive pretty quickly. The only thing I notice is the fries can sometimes lose their crispiness through delivery, but that's expected when they're sealed in a bag for the drive--honestly, all fries do that. When I eat in-store, though? The fries are delicious, perfectly seasoned, and honestly one of my favorite parts of the meal. Overall, absolutely worth it whether I'm dining in or ordering from home. Dave's never misses! read more

When my youngest son, twenty-yr old Brad, came home toting a bag of Dave's Hot Chicken (DHC) sliders two wks ago, your favorite Yelp correspondent vowed to visit the neighborhood DHC, in West Covina. Sticking to a time honored practice honed by four yrs and nearly 200 reviews, I ordered their "money maker," i.e., the item that vaulted Dave's from overnight food truck sensation into a media darling and bona fide rival to Chik-Fil-A: Their hot chicken sliders, featuring near-burgundied chicken breast lacquered to a glossy shine with its medium heat rating, accompanied with crinkle-cut fries snowed with seasoned salt. The sliders are served on what I am pretty sure are Hawaiian bread burger buns- TERRIFIC choice since the doughy sweetness absorbs a bit of the heat. My choice of medium heat was perfect for meeeeh, but again I'm the acknowledged lightweight in a family that routinely inhales homemade salsas made from garden-grown habaneros. I probably could've handled their hot selection, but since I didn't tow my antacids with me...why tempt fate?! The crinkle cut fries are...spectacular. Quintessentially crunchy, served piping hot and dusted with seasoning salt. The kale slaw, which I ordered on the side, is good but since they only gave me one spoonful...hardly enough to form a strong opinion. DHC does good, steady business, as evidenced by how the dining room was at least half-occupied during the entirety of my one hour visit. So- If they're a "bona fide contender with Chik-Fil-A" for the casual dining chicken crown, then why not accord them five stars? My caveats: Multiple of the dining tables are unstable. So much so, that it was only my former athlete reflexes that kept my 40oz drink from tumbling off the table when it bounced! To my chagrin, two other of the small dining tables had the same issue. Memo to DHC- Consider stabilizing your tables so they're not as bouncy as a bounce house at one of my kid's parties of yore! Not to mention the possible fall risk, for elderly or less-able bodied guests. The restrooms were a letdown. Grafitti sprawled on the walls and sink, with multiple cracks in the floor. The only "A+" component of your restroom? Industrial strength hand dryers that blow harder than Monica Lewinsky! My bill, including tax and a nominal tip, was $12.50. Not bad. read more

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!! COSTUMER SERVICE WAS SO BAD!!!!! Workers are rude and food is made poorly . We felt SO UNCOMFORTABLE!!!! They made us feel unwelcome in their restaurant. Made us feel stupid for trying to order a different item off the menu. Never had this happen before, they aren't accommodating at all! Especially the manager and employees have no respect and customer service skills. This made me feel like I'd never want to enter a Dave's hot chicken let alone this location. DONT COME HERE!!! Ps, stingy with the utensils and looks like someone spit in our food all because we asked for an order switch, also saw cockroaches. read more

I ordered the #4 combo, which is one slider with crinkle fries ($10.49). This was soooo filling and delicious, no need to order a whole chicken sandwich. The menu is simple, I almost ordered chicken tenders to have minimal carbs, but they come with two pieces of chicken, so I got the single Slider combo (there is a double Slider option). The chicken was very tasty and moist. It had a drizzle of the secret Dave's sauce, lettuce and pickles. A side of crinkle fries included. It was perfect in presentation, seasoned perfectly, and the price was right! I will be back for more! Give them a try, and don't forget to tell 'em Rosemary sent ya! read more

This location is one of the better ones from Dave's, I feel like it's completely fell off from quality since the past year, however this one took me back to the old days. The chicken was juicy and tender, everything was made after I ordered (vs other locations which have 100's of tenders that are just sitting to the side). The spice level was perfect, the cheers was nice and melted and warm and the fires were meh. The people working there were a bit on the slower side which was a bit annoying. The restrooms needed cleaning. Overall pretty damn good! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - West Covina, California

Mmm! Yummy food, I like to eat here all the time They serve flavorful chicken sliders along with a vegan friendly alternative, cauliflower sliders! With 7 different options of spice to pick from, ranging from No spice all the way to Reaper, we had to try the Mild & Medium level for both sliders. The chicken slider was savory, tender, & crispy; along with the fries. The cauliflower slider was flavorful, crispy and juicy on the inside! Arrived around 8:00pm with no line, got served in about 15min but they were noticeably busy with to go orders, which is understandable. There is plenty of indoor seating. They were playing classic rock and the music volume was perfect, as we were still able to hold a conversation without the need of raising our voices. As we were leaving around 9:00pm there was a line out the door. So be sure to order online or before the 9pm rush. read more
