    Cravings were definitely satisfied here! I ordered the slider combo with a side of their cheese sticks. I will say it took some time to be ready but it was well worth it. The food was still warm and cheese was nice and stringy. Perfect cheese pull! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location has seating inside and outdoor with plenty of parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recommend!

    Dave's #2: 2 Sliders w/ Fries

    It's been years since I had Dave's hot chicken, but recently I decided to try it out again. I ordered for pickup and it said it would take about 15 minutes. It did end up taking around 35 minutes since they were backed up. I ordered the slider combo that brings two sliders and fries! The hot wasn't hot compared to other hot chicken places. However it was very crunchy, juicy and flavorful! I will say I appreciate the amount of pickles they add to the sliders as they really up the taste! The fries were well seasoned & crunchy! Everything paired perfectly with their sauce and honey. Please keep in mind this location is surrounded by other restaurants and parking can be a bit hectic!

    Pretty solid chicken. We got a 'slider' and tender meal. Fries were good, chicken was pretty tasty. The 'slider' is a sandwich, so that's a bit confusing when ordering. Smaller than what you get at another fast food chicken spot's sandwich, but decent, just the same. They also have a mini slider deal that I am guessing are true sliders. Service was very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is somewhat stark, concrete and graffiti art all over.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tables didn't look clean and we asked for a wipedown. She told us they just look that way but did wipe ours down. It felt better, but still[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]... Would definitely return.

    If you're craving juicy fried chicken, look no further . I 'm a wimp when it comes to spicy so I usually order mild level and it's the perfect level of spice. My go to is the two slider combo . Comes with tasty crinkle cut fries and pickle. The breast meat was so tender and juicy. Definitely cooked to order. Also it's a dry rub hot chicken, so don't expect it to be the same in style as Nashville hot chicken. They add purple cabbage and pickles which compliments the product as a whole by giving you the freshness and crunch. Food and service here is always good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is nice and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Hot Tenders 8/10

    Came here as a party of two on a Saturday around 1PM. It was pretty busy. We ordered at the kiosk. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was definitely fast casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As far as service goes it was average to slow. It definitely was not quick. I ordered the single two tenders in hot. I think the ratio of breading to chicken was pretty good, but not perfect. The chicken is more important than the breading, however the breading holds the flavor. The chicken was breaded and moist, as well as properly spiced. I love pickles, so those are always a nice touch. The bread is unnecessary to eat however, I understand its purpose, with fried food, of course. For the price, it's an above average meal, when comparing to other chicken shops like Chick-fil-A. One thing I wish Dave's would change is, getting rid of American cheese, because it's just so gross.

    Haven't been to Dave's hot chicken in almost 3 years and decided to go here with some friends to try it again after so long. Went to the Burbank location and it was quite busy which is interesting because they usually aren't that busy but then again this was 2-3 years ago and maybe times have changed. I heard about them releasing mozzarella sticks but it was sold out which was a shame. I ended up getting a tender combo one hot and one medium with cheese fries and a small drink. Got my order and was Kind of disappointed with my fries. I got so little for what I paid for not to mention when I first bit into it it tasted a bit stale like it sat there for awhile. It was quite disappointing. Tried my tenders, I went for the medium it was ok, some parts of it were burned and not seasoned properly. Went for the hot and it was also poorly seasoned and parts of it were burned. I remember they used to give 5 pickles but I only had 3 which is kind of lame as I love pickles! Wanted to get a drink but as soon as I sat down and waited for my order some guy went up and put an out of order sign on the machine. I tried to get some type of exchange for my drink with a bottled water at least but it wasn't allowed and the funny thing is my friend got a bottled coke for his replacement and bottled Dr Pepper as they also ordered fountain drinks and they didn't have to pay they were just given and some people too also like I saw lady ask for water because she couldn't get water as the machine was "out of order" and she got one just fine and I didn't see her pull out her wallet or anything but I was tol to do the whole process and reorder just for a bottle of water? That doesn't really make sense and kind of dumb too which was slightly annoying. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Anyways, our table was one of a few that were dirty but the least dirty (no sauce smeared on table and fry bits and drink puddles like some vacant ones) but it did have chicken crumbs and left over.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was cool I like the art and music but it doesn't justify nor help the fact that the portion of fries were small and stale for what I've paid for, less pickles given, I was denied a drink swap when others were allowed to freely my chicken was poorly seasoned and slightly burned.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think the only good experience I had was the side of ranch which by the way I'm surprised they even have that. I think overly my experience went poorly at this location. I don't think I'd want to return here maybe I'll go to another location to see if will fair better but overall not the Dave's hot chicken I remember from the parking lot days in Hollywood it's unfortunately a shadow of its former self.. For me, I give it a 1 star rating.

    I like that all Dave's have their own flavor.

    Ill say the same thing for all Dave's Chickens, when the expansion happened the taste changed. I don't know if it is just watered down but I used to go to the original location and that was the best. Anyway a little mad they gave my order to someone else else after I waited but they did what they could to try to fix it with a little somethin. To me this was the only place I would eat at in this whole shopping center.

    Disgusting!!!! You go inside there is a horrible smell that we couldn't stand and decided to go and sit outside. Places the order and once we got it there was 2 strands of copper/orange hair on our food. I immediately went and returned it. The 2 ladies at the counter looked at each other and smiled, no apologies, nothing, and the older one called Angel, who was I guess a manager to come and help. He refunded and apologized and wanted to replace our food and I said no and walked away. Inside was a mess. The napkin dispenser was empty, trash bin was overfilled inside the store and water or left over of the drinks from the cups inside the trash covered the floor and went under one of the tables. Never ever going back to this location.

    I always DoorDash from here & they always forget to sub my fries to Mac & cheese. Do better & get employees that can read

    The best chicken I've ever had. Dave does some of the best work weve ever seen. The nice lady at the front was named Jahiara and she was very cool and awesome. Coming here made my day, would 100% recommend.

    From a Sunday before 7pm dinner rush. Great seasoning. Medium has a slight kick to it, nothing crazy. Ordered the nuggets with fries $10. Crunchy fries with its own yummy seasoning. It also comes with toast and pickles. The spread tastes like ketchup and mayo. Another condiment good to pair with is honey. Parking is tricky as it is competitive with other businesses Two bathrooms with a code needed Order at cash register or two kiosk Casual indoor seating

    Love coming to this place they take care good care of there Customer always giving to the community.

    Amazing service always clean food always taste good it's good for the whole family. Spicy or non spicy. I come here once a week

    I've gone to this location many many times can't even count in two hands. Unfortunately today was a different story. I placed an order on the self checkout machines and it's clear to me my order went through because my bank statements showed me I was charged. I told my boyfriend they are taking way longer than usual and his order came out before mine since we ordered separately. Point is it's now 20 minutes and he asked the young women about it and apparently my order didn't go through their system and i saw nothing was happening so I got up and spoke to her and told her which machine I ordered on and showed her my bank statement. At this point not sure if it's the supervisor or store manager but he was on the phone not sure what he was trying to get but he opened where the receipt comes out of (fyi never does it give me a receipt option idk if it just doesn't have paper or never works) and the screen just said pin so I patiently waited didn't say nothing stood there for a few minutes then decided to sit at this point my boyfriend was done eating and still nothing even after I showed them my bank statement and the time. After almost an hour she finally decided to offer me a meal with no charge. I was upset at this point I told her I'm okay and I won't take it. Point is I lost a bit over $20 and hadn't ate the whole day and was looking forward to it.

Parking is probably the biggest downside. It's street parking only, and it can be a little difficult to find a spot. There isn't much seating inside, so we grabbed a table outside. Luckily, the weather was nice, and it ended up being a great place to enjoy lunch. Service was friendly and efficient, and while the prices aren't the cheapest, they also didn't feel unreasonable given the quality of the food. I ordered Ruben's Cousin on Dutch crunch, and I'd definitely recommend it. The Dutch crunch bread had a great texture, and the sandwich itself was juicy, flavorful, and well-balanced. Nothing overcomplicated--just a really solid sandwich done well. Overall, it's a spot I'd happily return to, as there are already several other sandwiches I'd come back to try despite the parking situation.

Located right in downtown Burbank, you walk in and order at the counter, you get a number, and they bring the food out to your table when ready.

Who doesn't love a $3 beer with lunch? As for the food, I was thoroughly impressed! Pastrami melt was amazing! Full of delicious pastrami, melted cheese, and pickles. So delicious! Fries looked like they were actual fresh made fries, not frozen, which was a nice surprise. I could also tell that they make their ranch from scratch. The bbq chicken sandwich was also delicious. Side salad was super fresh. Everything was so delicious! Portions nice; prices fair. I am impressed with Wild Carvery because I could tell that the ingredients are fresh and the quality is high. I also suspect that they make their own pickles? But I'm not sure. If quality and freshness are important to you, I highly recommend checking out Wild Carvery. I can't wait to come back and try their burgers.
