I finally tried the bragged about Dave's Hot Chicken and it was good. The sandwich itself is actually good, with great tasting slaw but the fries were horribly disappointing tasting like nasty old oil. I'm not one to ever leave fresh fries especially if they're crinkled cut but these tasted so nasty I threw them away. The service was good, the guy who took our order was nice with offering suggestions when I told him it was my first time ordering there. I did like the size of the restaurant with indoor and outdoor patio dining which is great for any size. I would go back and hopefully have better luck with the fries.

I really enjoyed the buffalo chicken bites. The buffalo flavor was very tasty . The fries on the other hand were lack luster in taste but it quantity. I looked inside my bag hoping some had fallen out , but nothing. That is a sad excuse for a serving of fries .

Love Dave's chicken! The chicken is so juicy!! Crystal was very helpful. I also loved that the place was super clean

A part of me wanted to put 3 stars due to the presentation, missing toppings, and the 6 fries tasting like they been sitting there for quite some time. The taste of the Sliders are carrying this review to a 4, simply due to how much I still enjoyed them. Do better fellas

Had the cauliflower substitute for the Lenten season.. A M A Z I N G!!! Honestly, couldn't really tell the difference.. Perfect texture and flavor! The location is fairly new and the location is immaculate.. Ordering is so convenient with the Kiosks and they also offer a full service counter... If you're not hankering for chicken, there's a Habit next door.. Also a Chipotle, Waba Grill, Subway and Norm's....

2/26/26 Dave's Hot Chicken Claremont, CA...Went here with my daughter and her little sister. I had the order of 2 light mild chicken, bread, pickles, honey and Dave's sauce for dipping, and macaroni n cheese. Washed it all down with a sweet iced tea. Great time and great comfort meals! Restaurant was real clean and the lady at the counter and wiping tables gives great service! My new favorite Dave's location!!! I will definitely be back!!!

If i could give 0 stars i would! Our food was definitely not fresh.. our popcorn chicken and fries were refried from what we can tell and taste! I got 2 orders of their crowd mini sliders and they were sooo sloppy we couldn't tell a difference!! To top it off tonight i too a bite of one of our sliders and found this plastic tie within!! This was over $300 of food and we were very disappointed! We will definitely not be back EVER!! The mills it is!

The modifications asked for and printed correctly

Worst Dave's I've visited. I've gone twice and twice they take a long time to prepare my meal and they make it incorrectly. Today I waited for a long period of time and they still made my meal incorrectly, unfortunately I did not have enough time for me to address this in person but I definitely won't be going back to this location.

Stopped here for lunch today, I had no idea they had just opened one in Claremont. The food was pretty good. Nothing extraordinary but not bad either and the slushee was ice cold and refreshing. The interior is very modern with some cool artwork. They have some kiosks and a counter for ordering. Leilani had such good energy and delivered excellent service. I'll definitely be dropping by again when I'm craving some hot chicken!

Food was great! I really like going to new Daves location because that's when the reaper is really reaping haha. Let me tell you this reaper WAS HOT! Nothing I couldn't handle but nonetheless it was hot. Service was good, a little slower than it should've been with there only being 2 other customers besides me.

My son loves Dave's Hot Chicken, so for Valentine's Day I took him to this location for lunch. The restaurant itself was clean. Just a heads up, this location does not have a drive thru like the Ontario location. As always, the food was great and consistent, which we definitely appreciate. However, the service unfortunately did not match the quality of the food. Customer service is very important to me, and this experience fell short. When we walked in, a young employee (highlighted hair) saw us but didn't greet us or acknowledge that she would be with us shortly. She continued packing DoorDash orders and walked past the counter multiple times without saying a word, while we stood there waiting. A simple "I'll be right with you" would have gone a long way. Not wanting to ruin my son's Valentine's lunch, I brushed it off and had him order at the kiosk instead. We ended up taking our food to go because the lack of friendliness made the atmosphere uncomfortable and it wasn't just toward us, but toward other customers as well. It's disappointing because the food is always good, but due to this experience, I don't plan on returning to this particular location. I truly hope they can improve the customer service to match the quality of their food.

Wings & Bowls is located in The Village Plaza. It is known…read morefor crispy and juicy fried chicken wings. They offer their wings in both bone-in and boneless. The wet flavors are irresistible. For example; orange splash, Teriyaki, honey BBQ, soy garlic, buffalo, spicy Korean, angry pineapple, mango habanero, spicy bomb and mega bomb. The dry flavors are as follows: garlic parmesan, lemon pepper, herb curry, cilantro lime, rosemary garlic, garlic Jalapeños and Nashville fire. The menu includes various bowls, nachos, steak fries, shrimp fries, chicken strips and more. The decor is nice with inviting ambience. I ordered the following: - Teriyaki Wings 5/5 - Herb Curry Wings 5/5 - Orange Splash Wings 5/5 - Honey Garlic Wings 5/5 - Veggie pork dumplings 5/5 - Coconut Fried Shrimp 5/5 - Garlic Noodle 5/5 All types of Wings were boneless. I chose toss sauce for them. The flavors were well executed. All chicken wings were savory, juicy and tender. The coconut fried shrimp were golden, juicy and coated in a crunchy and savory crust. The veggie pork dumplings were juicy and flavorful. Garlic Noodle was smoky, fresh and rich. The owner was nice and friendly. The service was excellent. It is a hidden gem of Korean fusion restaurant in Claremont.

Korean wings that have me already planning my next visit!…read more Some food spots are a one-time visit, but THESE wings? I'd be back again and again!

Day Day's was an unexpected experience. Walking down the street in Pomona, you'd never know it's…read morethere. When you walk in the door, it's a small old school diner vibe. You can feel the history there and but don't judge it on its aesthetics. It may look a little run down, but the food and service make up for it. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with a warm welcome by the host. The menu was pretty easy to navigate but I had heard this place was known for their fried chicken. So of course I had to get the half bird. The chicken was juice and crispy. I loved that the batter was light but not oily. What really surprised me was the waffle. I normally don't like waffles but this waffle was AMAZING. Literally one of the best waffles I've ever had in my life. I just love that Day Day's felt like a home cooked meal rather than a gimmicky experience. I will note that they do not take card here. They do take cash and Zelle, so be prepared for that. Other than that, I had an amazing time.

Okay, I want to make it clear that I am not her to frivolously review a neighborhood restaurant…read more Small businesses are the backbone of our country, specially important and black, woman and minority owned. So here's my good and not so good. Good: the service here is amazing, friendly attentive and I watched every dine in customer receive extraordinary care. The portion sizes are huge and the whole restaurant felt like you were in someone's own kitchen on a weekend morning with all of the right smells in the air for a great brunch. Here's the not so good: it took 4 minutes shy of an hour to get lunch for 2 (2 order of chicken tenders, side of red beans and rice and an order of hush puppies ) prepared. Although the booths were full, most of the tables had their food, so it didn't appear to be a lot of tickets stacked up. When my order was finally delivered, and I took the10 minute drive back home, I opened the bag to fund 3 brown paper bags, wet, soggy and soaking in grease. Because the food hadn't been allowed to cool a bit and it was placed in a plastic bag with no way to vent out steam, every item was soggy and falling apart. The fries were wet and soggy, the chicken had all of the dry coat falling off and most the seasoning was pulled off of the batter that was left because of the water and steam. Additionally, the red beans and rice were so wet, they were almost soup. One of the orders had potato salad as a side, but to received overcooked soggy fries instead. The hush puppies were way over cooked, they had passed the golden brown cook level and were a black brown color and were sort of flavorless and really soggy from the heat of the plastic bag. I'm sure that most of this could have been avoided if I hadn't placed a to go order. But I'm leaving this review so that when you order from this little gem, you consider dining in or asking for the foot with plenty of lead time so that they don't rush, improperly pack the food for transit (let it cool off a bit) and have the time to make sure the order is correct, and cooked to a standard that best represents the business. Pomona needs Day-Days as a locally owned, black owned soul food restaurant. Switching from plastic to paper bags and giving the food time to vent will go a long way with quality for the customer. In the end the food tasked good, I'm sure was prepared with love, but fell flat on the delivery. All of that said, patronize this restaurant!!!!
