Dave's Hot Chicken

Angel Morningstar

First time trying this place after hearing all the hype. Wow! It seriously is very delicious! I can honestly say this is the best chicken I’ve ever had it’s like no other. At first glance the menu doesn’t look very filling, but as a big eater like myself I actually got full. The chicken is perfect it tasted like it came right off a southern bbq grill. The Dave’s sauce is very good too & goes well with the chicken. Fries are a must with ketchup but very savory too. If you’re craving chicken I highly recommend this place you won’t be disappointed!

After so many times of having gone to this shopping center for the other stores, I finally took a chance to come in, and I thought it was pretty good! Staff was friendly, they were really patient with me. Food came out in maybe ~7 minutes or so, so that's pretty standard. I thought it was pretty good! Was reading some of the reviews saying there's no flavor? I don't know, maybe I've become such an old man👴🏻 now, I thought it was good. Not over-the-top. Someone said they barely gave any cheese over the fries? My observation was that they meticulously layered the cheese, so that it wasn't just a giant slab on top with nothing on the bottom. I've never been to any other restaurant that goes through that level of detail to make sure the right amount of cheese is evenly distributed across the fries like that! BRAVO!👏🏻 Shoutout to the 1pm crew! You guys are awesome! Also, for as long as they've been in business, EVERYTHING is clean! Like, not a hint of grease staining the floors or the furniture.

I highly recommend this location due to they’re excellent food quality and customer service. The person who attended me was Andrew and was very friendly and professional.

I was curious to see so many customers waiting to buy and eat this food at the new fast food restaurant. The chicken sandwich I bought did not look appetizing at all, but the spiciness of it did gave a good flavor. Overall, I did like it. Not my cup of tea, but is good if you're into spicy food. I finally gave it a 2nd try and this time I wasn’t disappointed. The food tasted fresh, the portion was big and flavorful. I highly recommend you to eat at the location instead of taking for to go it does make a difference in the taste and presentation.

Ordered the number 2 with sliders and fries. Chose medium heat but could have handled one step above. Best eaten immediately hot. Best to have clean hands ready to tackle the grease, or plenty of napkins. Chicken itself was a good size and the flavor on the outside was very good. Not too dry on the inside either, again, best served hot. Coleslaw was good but would have wanted a bit more in the slider. Fries were alright with some spices on them that was a nice kick. The pickles were crunchy and nice to balance the chicken. The honey packet that is provided for the sliders works well on fries too.

Menu is really small but that's okay because what else are you going to get at a hot chicken place? The chicken themselves taste great especially when you choose the spicier options. I recommend asking them to add the chili sauce on top of the fries since it makes them taste even better. Not much to say about this place, great spicy chicken for a decent price.

This place has fantastic Nashville Hot Chicken and is a great alternative to Howlin Rays. The quality is similar but it costs less and fries are included. My server was friendly and my food was ready in about 5 minutes. Their Dave's #3 Combo with One Slider and One Tender was delicious. Will definitely be back.

Best Chicken in all of town. Extra Spicy is always a perfect blend of almost too hot and not hot enough. This location always delivers. Shout out to Johnathan. He's been working here for the longest and always has top tier customer service. Johnathan for manager. Dave's Hot Chicken for the trophy 🏆 Enjoy.

I always have a good experience at the Dave's location in Rosemead. Everything is consistent from the service to food quality. I get the Not Chicken cauliflower bites and I'm NEVER disappointed.

My visit to Dave’s Hot Chicken was a really enjoyable experience. The moment I walked in, the smell of freshly cooked chicken filled the air. The staff was friendly and helped me choose the right spice level since they have several options from “No Spice” to “Reaper.” I ordered the two-tender combo with fries, and the chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The spicy flavor had just the right kick, and the sauce added extra flavor. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was casual and fun. Overall, it was a great meal, and I’d definitely go back again.

I tried tenders extra hot, one below the Reaper. Not to spicy to eat, no sweat. But after a while after having finished the meal, my lips are burning and also some burn in my throat:-) all good. No spice is not so tasty.

This is really good. Chicken is very good and you choose how "hot" you want the chicken. I love hot and spicy food, and can say that "hot" is spicy enough. ( there are two higher levels of "hot". Ask for an extra "Daves sauce" because you're gonna love it! Over all really good.

I loved the decor scheme they have going on, on the other hand the food wasn’t the best ever it was average, it was dry, the spices hit instantly to where you cannot enjoy it and I got medium maybe next time lower the spice level. I expected the bread to be better as well like Texas toast? The chicken was a good size I’ll give them that though. Just wasn’t my preference but if you prefer a dry spice chicken tender rather than wet I’d recommend.

My chicken was hot, crispy and fresh but it was a tiny little tender. I went with the extra hot and it barely warmed my lips and faded off. I am comfortable with heat though. I'll try reaper some time.

Felt like I was eating a better version of KFC, chicken was juicy and tender, but the bread and the fries were both kind of soggy. House sauce was good with the fries, but I’m curious if there’s anything really special about the sauce? For me, it tasted just like the thousand island sauce we can get from anywhere. Kale slaw and Mac n cheese were okay. Overall, I liked the chicken but other than that nothing really stood out!

Dave was famous with delicious and hot fried chicken. The smell even make you want eat more. I just order 3 single tender. I ask extra ketchup and honey. I off course I expect Dave sauce the order too. I am to hurry to get dinner with family. After I got home I don't find side Dave sauce the packets with 3 single tender. Good think I buy 2 extra. I am really like Dave chicken but without sauce. It's seems odd. Please Dave chicken don’t forget to put dave sauce. It ruin 😒 Dave chicken. I hope this not happen to other customer. Sorry I gave 3 star cause of this.

Got the Dave’s #2, a hot mozz and redeemed a free drink via the app. They charged me the free drink and didn’t give me the hot mozz. Luckily I checked my receipt and they did refund me the drink but when I got home, there was no hot mozz I recommend check your food before leaving the establishment. Otherwise, the food is good

one of the guys in the back literally sneezed into his hands 10 times and dug into his nose with tissues just to turn and continue filling the sauce cups WITHOUT washing his hands. disgusting. I informed Matthew in regard to this employee just for him to dismiss me and tell me he washed his hands as if I didn’t witness the whole thing. the food here is great but seeing an employee sneeze into his hands and not immediately clean them after makes me not want to come back. do better Dave

I don’t have a problem with this place food, I love Dave’s Hot Chicken, but I just recently went and had a really bad experience with in regards to customer service. As soon as I came in I noticed new menu items and asked about them which the lady at the counter explained well, but the problem came when I asked if I could get a ranch, she asked if I wanted the small or large one and she brought them out so I could see both, I very clearly pointed to her that I wanted the bigger one and she took note. Once my order was called I took my bag food and sat down and noticed that I wasn’t given any ranch at all but I was charged for it, so I went to say that I was missing a ranch. They told me that I had ordered the small one and that it was given to me which It wasn’t, and I said that I had told the lady I wanted the bigger one and even she said that I ordered the small one and that they gave it to me. To top it off the guy said he could just ring me up for the large one. I then went to pay for the large one and I asked if they would refund me for the smaller one, which he then spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how to refund me or pay the difference. This was a simple matter where i could have just been given the ranch and not gone through all that waste of time and also ruined my mood while eating my food. I work fast food as well and its simple to say sorry to the customer admit fault and give the item which in this case was literally just a sauce. Please do check the cameras regarding this matter if you don’t believe me. Order 289, 11:15pm yesterday, thank you.
