Dave's Hot Chicken - Devoured food - Chicken Shop Near Me - Anaheim, California

Great first time experience! Eleuter was very helpful and knowledgeable. Super tasty food much needed after a long day at Disneyland!

Dave's is always my go-to whenever I'm craving fried chicken! What sets it apart from other competitors is the different spice levels for its tenders. I love spicy food, so I always get my tenders hot because it's the perfect amount of spice without being too much for me. I love that you can order from the kiosk or at the counter. At some fast-food places, I can't always hear when my name or number is called, but Dave's has a great system where they update the status of your meal on a TV screen for customers. It makes it so much easier to keep track of your order! My food is consistently great, and the tenders are always a good size. Some other places, like Cane's, aren't always as consistent with the size of their tenders or overall quality, so I really appreciate the consistency at Dave's. Their signature Dave's Sauce is also top-tier, and the staff is always happy to give you extra if you ask when picking up your order. My only question is: What are the two pieces of bread for? I usually end up not doing anything with them! Another huge plus is that Dave's is open late, making it a great option if you're visiting Disneyland, Angel Stadium, Honda Center or attending an event that runs late in the area. I can't wait to be back next time! read more

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

I stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken in Anaheim with my family and ordered the chicken sandwich with a single chicken strip meal. My wife ordered the two chicken strip meal, with one strip having no spice so she could share it with our daughter. The food was a bit inconsistent. My chicken strip was thick and juicy, and my daughter's strip was also really juicy and nicely cooked. Unfortunately, one of my wife's chicken strips was the complete opposite--much thinner and noticeably drier. The chicken sandwich was decent overall. The restaurant was very busy and appeared to be short-staffed, so I understand that keeping up with everything can be difficult. That said, the cleanliness of the dining area definitely needs some attention. One of the tables looked like someone had changed the oil on a car on it, and while the floor wasn't terrible, it could definitely use a good sweeping. On the positive side, considering how busy they were and how short-staffed they seemed to be, our food still came out in a reasonable amount of time. Overall, the food has potential and some of the chicken was really good, but the inconsistency and cleanliness issues keep this visit at about 3 out of 5 stars. Hopefully, with a little more attention to cleaning and consistency, it could easily be a better experience. read more

The food was ok. I ordered The #1, waited about 20-30 minutes. It was pretty busy but not crazy but my food came out lukewarm, which I was not expecting since the wait was a bit long. They have 2 kiosk and I think 1 or 2 registers which makes the order process quick. The bathroom was also closed off by trashcans, not sure if it was employees only, not much seating on the inside, but outside which Is great for fresh air. Anyways back to the food, I ordered a medium spice hot mozz & 1 medium and 1 mild tender. The mozz was warm not hot but still had a good cheese pull. None of them were spicy, by the reviews on social media I was expecting it to be spicy, but it literally had NO SPICE at all. The chicken was not dry, but it was not juicy nor tender, like a in between. It was super salty! No contrast in flavor, no sweetness, no spice, just salt! Same with the fries, salty, hard and cold, not the crunchy on the outside soft in the middle hard. Just hard. Also there was a lot of breading on the chicken but only 1 good crunch on the first bite of each tender. I do not have a high spice tolerance, neither does my brother and friend, they both agreed and said it was not spicy. The sauce is good, the ice is amazing and it had a good cheese-pull tho. People make it seem so good, maybe its just the location. read more

I mean its fast food. But for fast food its pretty good! I like the cumin seasoning they put and the fries and dipping sauce is good. But it still is fast food. It was very fast to serve. Ambiance is just like any other fast food joint not much to say tbh. read more

Great service, the restaurant was clean. Customer service was very good. Food was out on a timely matter and tasted great.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. I ordered the two tender sliders w/ fries and vanilla shake. The lite mild slider was good and, as described, light on spice. The no spice slider, however, lacked seasoning and was just OK. I'm not good at tolerating heat, but I'd rather have spicy food that's seasoned than bland food within my comfort level. The sauce on the side helped a little. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with the perfect amount of seasoning. The milkshake was thick and the taste was ice cream-rich - definitely not watered down with two much milk or other liquid. I definitely recommend the food here. It's called Dave's HOT Chicken for a reason - don't choose the no spice option. You'd be missing out. read more

Dave's never disappoints. I love the late night dining hours, the chicken always being fresh and hot, and I especially enjoy their Hot spice level. They offer counter service or kiosk order which is quick and convenient. This place is always busy and full of loud friend groups, or people coming after a night of partying so if a loud environment isn't your thing, I'd suggest to take it to go! Most chicken and fries places are basic but Dave's is always enjoyable to me. I'll keep coming back. read more

This hands down one of my favorite Chicken Sandwich place and I am fortunate to have a location close by to my place! While I wanted to buy some Dave's not so chicken cauliflower nuggets ( which I love) I was informed that they will be back on the menu come January 6th. In the meantime I ordered the Chicken Slider Sandwich Combo and it didn't disappoint!! Service was as usual nice and friendly and my food came out quickly! Bon Appetit read more

OK, so I love their reaper heat level of chicken and mozzarella sticks. I make sure I put some pickles on there. Drizzle some honey a little bit of their secret sauce smash between some bread... Yeah buddy!! Inside the restaurant the tables could've used a little more attention. However, they are across the street from Angel's Stadium and there is a game tonight. They're slushy is too cold! HAHAHAHA!! read more

We love Dave's Hot Chicken -- it's one of those places that's always a solid pick when you're craving something spicy and comforting. It's not the best chicken in the world (there are definitely smaller hole-in-the-wall spots that hit harder), but it's always reliable and tasty. We tried the chicken bites for the first time last week and omg -- obsessed. They were hot, juicy, perfectly coated, and had that nice medium kick that keeps you going back for more. I seriously didn't realize I had eaten like 20 of them until I was done (and I'm a small girl -- that says a lot ). But the second time we ordered them (same Saturday night, same DoorDash setup), it just wasn't the same. The chicken wasn't as fresh, not as juicy, and didn't have that same crispy coating. It wasn't bad, just kinda meh compared to the first time. I only made it through a few before I was over it. So yeah -- Dave's is great overall, but the quality can be a little hit or miss. When they nail it, it's . When they don't, it's just okay. Still, we'll definitely be back for those good batches! read more

Perfect for a late night dinner, especially after a concert at the Honda Center or a game at the Angels Stadium. Parking: They're located in a plaza with other popular food chains like Chipotle, Panda Express, Carl's Jr, etc. There's a small parking lot in the back and a larger parking lot beside it. Cars are constantly going in n out, so finding a spot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a decent amount of indoor seating and limited outdoor seating. We visited close to midnight, and they were poppin. They're the only spot that's open till 2AM. Service: You can order at the kiosk. There's two kiosk to order from. You can also order at the register. Since it started getting busy, we ordered at the register. The cashier was simply quick and efficient. Throughput took about 10 min after ordering. Foods: We got the chicken tenders, sliders, and fries with medium heat. We really appreciated that the chickens are cooked fresh. They were steaming hot when we got our food. The medium heat was spicy but not too much spice to the point where we didn't enjoy it. The slider came with slaw and pickles. The fries were seasoned well. Everything paired deliciously together. Pricing: Prices are a bit higher, but it was definitely worth it after a long night of singing and dancing hehe. read more

Food tastes good. The service is fast and the staff is very nice and they have great coupon on the app to redeem.

Decided to give Dave's Hot Chicken another try after not going for a while & I'm really glad we did because it was a much better experience this time. We tried the loaded fries & they were amazing & really flavorful & definitely hit the spot. The only thing we noticed was that there were only a few pieces of chicken on top (maybe around 3) which felt a little less than what's shown in the photos. Other than that, the sliders were really good & a big improvement from our last visit. We'd definitely come back again! read more

I had great service with Roxanne she was very quick on getting my food out and when I had to add a small second order she helped rush it out so I didn't have to wait too long. The food tasted hot and fresh couldn't have been better. read more

I've been coming here after work for about a year now, and I finally had to leave a review. I'd give the food 4 stars, but the customer service is a solid 5 stars and honestly, that's what keeps me coming back. It's rare to find a place where every single staff member is consistently friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. They truly go above and beyond. I'd even say they outshine places like In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A when it comes to service. The food itself is good, definitely a step above typical fast food and always hits the spot after a long shift. Nothing overly fancy, but reliable and satisfying. Parking is easy, which is a huge plus. It can get pretty busy at times, but the staff still manages to keep things running smoothly and maintain that great energy. Overall, I keep coming back more for the experience than anything else, and that says a lot. read more

Thank you Neal for your hospitality, will be definitely returning and continue enjoying the food!

In town for a conference and stopped by Dave's on our first night. The food was good and hit the spot. I got a chicken sandwich with slaw and pickles. There was hardly any slaw on it and the spice level was just right for me. They have self-paying kiosks but you can also order at the counter. There is plenty of table top and counter height tables to sit at to dine-in. I wasnt disappointed and I definitely hope I get to come back. read more

1. I love the portions of the mini sliders! They were easier to eat and still delicious! I also like the thickness of the milkshake! 2. The spot has fast casual vibes! It also has high ceilings! 3. There are outdoor and indoor seatings! There are good number of tables available! 4. The staff were friendly, and they were definitely moving fast at 11 pm! There are kiosks for self-order! 5. Parking lot is huge! Spots are double-lined and not compact! Note: There is a restroom available for customers! It requires a code! Photo: Small Strawberry Shake and Mini Sliders read more

I've been to Dave's Hot Chicken and this specific location countless times now, and it's easily become one of my go-to spots when I'm craving hot chicken! So good -- perfectly seasoned, with that signature blend of heat and flavor. I usually go for the tenders or the slider combo, and no matter what spice level I choose, the flavor has always been bold and consistent. The meat is juicy, the breading is not too greasy, and the pickles and delicious Dave's sauce adds just the right balance! That said, I've noticed one reoccurring issue: the temperature of the food is a hit or miss. There have been times when my meal came out piping hot, crispy and was an overall 10/10! Unfortunately other times, the chicken was lukewarm or just barely warm when biting into it -- which 100% lessens my eating experience. Still, I keep coming back because the flavor and quality really does make up for the inconsistency. The crinkle-cut fries are always seasoned well, and the Dave's sauce I could probably eat with anything! The Anaheim location overall is clean, staff is friendly, and service is usually quick, even when it's busy. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area and in the mood for something spicy and satisfying! read more
