Staff was friendly and place was clean. I asked alot of questions, being my first time here. Hot spicy level is enough to leave a tingling on my lips. I will probably try extra hot or reaper next time. Chicken is juicy and flavorful. The decor is great.

I recently had the pleasure of trying the non-chicken slider sandwich at this establishment, and it was nothing short of delightful. The sandwich was flavorful and satisfying, a perfect option for those looking for a delicious plant-based meal. The fries were a standout as well; cooked to golden perfection, they were the ideal complement to the slider.What truly set this experience apart, however, was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Their attention to detail and genuine care for customers was evident, and it made a lasting impression.In summary, the food and service at this restaurant are both top-notch. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal accompanied by outstanding hospitality.

This food and service is great unfortunately the price is way too much. Spent $26 for a individual meal with drink. I could go to Red Robin next door and have a full service sit down meal with unlimited fries for the same amount or less including tip.Vegetarian options: Good news vegetarian alternative but cost prohibitive.

Most definitely lives up to the hot chicken name. I didn't have too high of expectations, but it did satisfy my spicy food craving. While the spice was delicious, it's not the most crispy or freshly served of tenders I've ever had. Portion size is generous and it was pretty quickly prepared through ordering from the app. Restaurant was clean and the staff was pretty fast to find my ready order.

I was in San Francisco over the weekend and tried Dave’s. It was delicious. I had the cauliflower sliders and they were great! My son had the chicken sliders and loved it!!

They are quick when you go in here for lunch. I got the hot chicken last time, I think I will go one step milder next time.HOT is only halfway up the scale.

Visiting from Australia. Found this fried chicken burger place. Excellent flavours. Service is great.I had ordered mine as a Medium hot and dint find it 'that' hot (mind you i have an oriental flavour profile) so i inquired with the attendant about it. They updated it to a Hot flavour no questions asked.Ask about thier shakes too when you go there.Great outcome!

Every time I come to Dave's Hot Chicken I am never disappointed. Good food and great service.

We ordered the Dave's #2 and #3, two sliders and fries, one slider / chicken tender and fries. The fries were perfectly seasoned and tender while being the right amount of crisp. It's warmth paired perfectly with the thousand island. Honestly, the #2 with two sliders are more than enough to feed two people. We got a slider in medium and mild, for me, medium was the perfect punch of flavor while not being too overwhelming. My only gripe with the sliders is that the temperature distribution is weird, with the bottom half, including the cheese, being very cold and the top half being very hot. In addition, cheese is .75 per combo (not slider) and I could barely taste it with the chicken being very thick. The chicken tender is the slider without the bread, coleslaw and sauce. Overall, very fun and enjoyable experience. For things to do around the area, the plaza is conveniently located next to a public library, twenty minutes away from a park that was once a mental hospital, and Safeway for your different needs!

I came for all the hype,had the spicy chicken tenders and a sandwich. I’d prefer a bigger bun for my chicken lol but it was overall a good experience. Shout out to all the friendly staff, great customer service.
