    Dave's Hot Chicken open until midnight. They have my favorite Cheese Fries with Mac and Cheese. Restroom available for customers, and fast food service out the door.

    Chicken fingers meal
    Nancy S.

    Yummy yum yum! Best hot chicken I've had! Love the crispy fries and the sauce. A friend brought us here and wow! I can't wait to be back. I had the tenders, the loaded fries, and a kale slaw. Everything was delicious and perfectly seasoned.

    Dave's #2 combo
    Bienvenido A.

    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.

    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.

    Mozzarella sticks and fries

    The new mozzarella cheese sticks were delicious... I highly recommend getting them. The staff at West Covina is always in a friendly mood. Whenever I go I always see how much the employees are keeping the place clean.

    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

    Never disappoints. Great place for large groups. Ambiance is good for all ages. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The food can be spicy from the medium level and up. For someone who lives spicy food. Hot spice is as high as ill go .

    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

    Lt. is fire chicken sandwich & rt. is regular (no spice) sandwich. Sandwiches have big chicken strips with coleslaw.

    This was a hype place for chicken down SoCal. So I had to try it. Service was fast. Place is alright. Smells like fried oil because of all the fried things that they cook. Check out my pics. Overall food was delish.

    Every time we come here, chicken is crispy, tender, juicy, just emasculate. And customer service is always on point. Thank y'all so much. CAN I GET A HOOO YEAAAA

    Jessica J.

    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.

    Great customer service from Dalia & good atmosphere vibes! Will definitely be coming back. I ordered a Dave's #1 and the food looks so good! Great place! :)

    Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries
    Miranda C.

    Dave's really hit the fried chicken sandwich craving. The chicken was very crispy, tender, and well seasoned. The slider was tasty; kale slaw, pickles, and Dave's sauce really tied the whole sandwich together. There's a lot of seating inside and it's also so clean. Service was great, the lady taking my order was really nice. Food came out pretty fast.

Before I could say what kind I wanted I was rudely interrupted "I said what do you want? What kind of sandwich!?" I repeated what I wanted He repeated "what kind of sandwiches do you want? I said can have it with Turkey Pastrami and Turkey. I was told no repeatedly on the turkey pastrami. -First the Turkey pastrami is too expensive it's an added $50 I said that's fine and he continued to persuade me to not get it -Second because now it's too much work to put on a sandwich because you know The Colossal is pretty big. (Seems like the works too much for them) So at the end of the day I went with the big corporate sandwich shop because I got my questions answered, they weren't rude, actually tried to upsell me instead of telling me no it's "too expensive" Lesson learned: teach your employees how to talk to customers. Thanks for the time and the so so service.

At the very least, Zodiac Juiceology & Apothecary (Covina) is extremely fast. I arrived at Zodiac Juiceology & Apothecary (Covina) on Friday (around 8:46AM). The location appeared relatively clean but worn down. Furniture looked old; paint is faded & chipped; and floor is scuffed with black marks. Staff is professional and quick. I ordered the Aquarius Juice ($7.95 - 16oz). It arrived in literal seconds. Staff opened a cooler and grabbed a filled glass bottle. Fast. Staff also answered all my questions. Zodiac Juiceology & Apothecary (Covina) has customer internet with password. It also has a hidden restroom near the back. Also, if customers return the bottle, they receive 15 cents. The Aquarius Juice ($7.95 - 16oz) contains carrot juice, red apple juice, orange juice, and pineapple juice. It's a lot of chilled liquid. I also appreciated its eye-catching bright color. Unfortunately, I personally disliked this drink. The primary flavor was bitter apple and tangy orange. It mostly tasted like the bitterness from an apple's skin. In the background, I faintly tasted the carrot and pineapple juice. There were also several specks of black floating in my drink, but I think these black bits were grounded up seeds. Surprisingly, this drink actually made me more thirsty. I guzzled a bottle of water after my visit. Despite my dislike, the drink is not bad. It's functional and healthy. It's not tasty nor the freshest, but it's a lot of liquid in a pretty bottle. Regarding ambiance, Zodiac Juiceology & Apothecary (Covina) feels poorly maintained. Wall colors were chipping; furniture colors look faded; and furniture felt very worn down. Zodiac Juiceology & Apothecary (Covina) looks old. The location also played slow rap music, lacked electric wall sockets for customers, and had a few flies buzzing around from its open door. Thankfully, the location is relatively clean. Overall, Zodiac Juiceology & Apothecary (Covina) is forgettable but inoffensive. Its juices taste frugal, but its liquid portions are generous. If actively searching for a farmers market vibe, this might be your spot. 3.5 out of 5
