    Slider and tender meal.
    Josh D.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is not huge, but has indoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It did take about 15 minutes to get our food, but it was served hot and fresh. I got the tender and slider meal with fries. It was very filling and had a nice flavor. I got a hot level. Be aware I like spicy stuff and this had a kick to it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was very casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    10/10! Carlos took my order!! Milkshake machine was down so I was pretty sad about that - but his sweet & bubbly personality made up for it!! Food was delicious. Fast & quick service.

    Dave's Hot Chicken opened here in Yuma September 15, 2023. And has had a steady flow of customers since. My family has visited once or twice without me, but for my daughter's birthday meal she decided to eat it here. Let's go! [[HIGHLIGHT]]On this night, it wasn't as crowded or busy. We waited about 5 minutes before we started ordering.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered Dave's #3 Mild as hot isn't my thing. The worker Julian was on his grind, worker as cashier and expedited, and very apologetic for the slow service. No worries, man! Not your fault if someone called out! Our wait for our order was a little more than 12 minutes. And worth it. I really enjoyed the crispy, well-seasoned fries and of the Mild chicken. I loved it's darkish color and the taste; not dry and not too juicy. I did try a piece of "hot" chicken from my daughter's basket; it was walking down at dark alley...as you walked the "hotness" followed, and intensified! I took home leftovers (which tasted great the next day). I do look forward to eating here again (sans the "hot" chicken)!

    Another awesome spot on the drive from Phoenix to San Diego! Saw that Dave's recently opened in Yuma, and I decided to stop here for lunch. Its in a super convenient location, right near a Sams Club gas station (cheap gas). I went with a #2, Hot, with a side of cheese sauce (really small cup, worth the $1.50 extra just to get the cheese fries and have your fries covered in their cheese) and my wife went with a #4, Mild. Had a Cherry Coke to drink. How was everything? Bomb as usual! The combo of the sauce, slaw, pickles and hot chicken are flat out awesome! The Hot will make you grab your drink and blow your nose a few times during your meal, as well it should! Really, really good "hot chicken". I love this shit! Officially addicted, without a doubt! Service was friendly and kind from the guy working the front register. This was definitely the smallest Dave's Hot Chicken I have been to. I think only 3-4 workers were there and they had maybe room to sit 20-25 people from what it looked like. Not that it matters, just that if you came with vans full of a baseball team or something, might not all fit lol. Anyways.........super glad this is here, and will be a frequent stop on the way to/from Phoenix/San Diego.

    Waited 30 mins for 10 nuggets just the nuggets and a rocket cream slushie to be honest I should've just went next door to chipotle and got a better meal .

    Arrived at 3:20, ordered at 3:33 and then I didn't get my food till 4:13. I don't mind waiting a short time, but nearly 40 mins for food is ridiculous when I can get my food faster at a sit-down restaurant. Food was good, but still not worth the wait.

    Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries
    Tianna S.

    Three stars because the food was good for the most part but, the customer service was lacking. I went for lunch and tried the mini sliders. All of them were good except for one. The chicken on that one was a quarter of the size of the rest of them so, it was 90% bread and a tiny piece of chicken and the fries were cold. Other than that the food was good so I wanted to give them another chance for dinner. I put in a mobile order for 2 sliders and fries for me and my husband both. I requested pickles on the side and no slaw for both of mine and my husband's was regular. Only one came the way that I asked. I also ordered honey and cutlery. Of which we got none. The cherry on top was that we ordered one regular Oreo shake and one large Oreo shake. When my husband came to the car he had two regulars and had to go back in to get the large. Which, I typically wouldn't make a big deal about but, a large shake with extra Oreo is $12.49. While they did make that right it just added to the fact that they don't seem to actually be reading the orders as they come in. Being both orders I placed were to go I wasn't able to go back up to the counter and get them fixed. The second time the fries were warm and the chicken portions were very generous. Overall the food was tasty. I just wish they'd pay more attention to how orders are put in.

I ordered a Chick's Meal and a Classic meal of fried tenders, fries and fried okra (because why not?). And a strawberry shake and a drink. The Dipping Sauces (Korean/Honey BBQ, and Honey Mustard) were tasty; zany spicy alive with flavor. They gave me the military/First Responder discount (maybe in uniform, more of a discount?). I uploaded the app to collect points after favorable reviews; it was easy to navigate and they even have games on it! In lieu of the other local chicken places in Yuma, I think this company will fit in nicely. If not in the top 3 ranking slots!

    I usually don't review fast food, because I like to write reviews about what I liked or disliked…read moreabout the food I ate. Fast food are supposed to be about making exact same thing no matter which location you go to, right? If the experience is not unique to the location, I usually don't see the point reviewing. Well, I gotta stuff to say about what I ate here, because there was something I really disliked about what I ate and it was unique to this location so here I go. There was a really weird after taste on both chicken and fries that I ate. I could only assume to the oil used was rancid. I am not sure what the protocol is on how frequent the frying oil needs to be changed, but I am convinced this protocol was largely ignored. I learned something new today. When the oil is rancid enough, there is a bitter after taste that lingers in your mouth for very long time. The fried chicken was rejected by my 2 yr old boy after 1 bite. He never refused fried chicken in his life time until today. I don't know if this place just got lazy on their policy because it was a new years day but if they are going to serve that kind of food, they should be closed for the day instead.

    The staff is friendly enough for fast food, but there's something wrong with this location. I…read morestrongly suspect their food isn't to spec as it doesn't taste like it does at other KFC's. I'm not sure if they're diluting the seasoning (why is the chicken so bland when KFC is known for being overly salty?), adding flour to their breading to stretch it (probably why the breading is gummy), or putting more cabbage and water to the coleslaw (no tang and barely sweet), but everything here tastes weak. Half of the soda fountain options were even out of syrup, and I'd be angry as hell if I got something to go and ended up getting club soda instead of Sierra Mist. The chicken isn't even crispy despite coming out hot, and it makes me think they're frying at too low a temp to save power or something. Just skip this place.

They serve a healthy menu with a variety of options sandwiches/wraps, breakfast options, vegan, kids menu, smoothies, lemonade, coffees, alcohol (after 4pm) etc. I ordered a BALT sandwich meal combo--included fries or chips + lemonade (w/flavor options). No big deal, I thought. But the sandwich was served up on fresh sourdough and the bacon was chopped up into tiny pieces so it was so easy to eat without tugging, and served with avocado slices, tomato, lettuce and the right amount of mayo ratio (which was important). The homemade lemonade was a treat. And I had the garlic fries--delicious! As mentioned, I'm still thinking about how good that sandwich was. The place isn't huge but they seat a lot of people. Try this sandwich shop--it will not disappoint!

    Absolutely horrible experience and some of the worst customer service I've ever received…read more We arrived at 8:30 PM, a full 30 minutes before closing, and were told we could only get our food to go. Apparently, closing in 30 minutes means customers are no longer welcome to dine in. The employee was polite, but that doesn't make up for a terrible policy. The biggest issue was that they completely messed up my order. I ordered a bowl and instead received a sandwich with a meat I don't even eat. By the time I got home and realized their mistake, I called immediately. I even offered to drive all the way back to pick up the correct order myself. Their response was basically, "Too bad, the kitchen is closed." So let me get this straight: they make the mistake, charge me for food I never ordered, send me home with something I didn't want, and then refuse to fix it because they closed the kitchen. That's not customer service--that's taking someone's money and leaving them stuck with the consequences of your own mistake. A business should stand behind its orders and correct its mistakes. Instead, they chose the easiest option for themselves and left me paying for food I couldn't even enjoy. Completely unacceptable. I will not be returning, and I would strongly recommend others think twice before spending their money here.
