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 .

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!

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.

I've eaten here several times over the years, and it's a unique place to get a steak, or even just…read morea burger or a salad. First, I would avoid coming here during the usual busy dinner rush times. The ambiance is very casual, unpretentious, open seating. So when it's busy, it's loud. When it's busy, the servers are juggling multiple fully booked out tables. So if you're the impatient type, don't bother. Every time I've interacted with the staff, they've been as friendly and as accommodating as possible, for the volume of people that come here. It's just that popular. I'd rather come for a lazy lunch or afternoon meal if you're one of those people that need exceptional service and undying attention. The ingredients are pretty much high end. If you're familiar with the difference between dry-aged angus beef, wagyu raised in the US, or Australia, or New Zealand, or straight from Japan, you'll realize Meat Cellar offers the best cuts of beef around in Inland Empire. Very much the kind of quality you can find at Cut, Matu, Alexander's, Mastro's, etc. Except you don't to drive out through ass-fuck LA traffic, pay $20 valet parking, dress-up, etc. You could pretty much show up in pajama bottoms and a Sponge Bob T-shirt, and they'll serve and treat you like a fellow human being. Interestingly, whereas a lot of people would drive to LA or Beverly Hills to eat a prestigious steak house, it's also the opposite here, where people are driving from Orange County or Santa Clarita to eat here specifically as regulars. On the "lower" priced end, their fried chicken and fancy burger are pretty solid options to order. I also like getting their steak-frites with wagyu blade upgrade, the wagyu picanha, and the dry-aged ribeye. The cuts of beef itself does distinct itself in flavor by how much marbling to beef there is, and certainly dry-aged has a certain lovely, umami, earthy, nutty character to it. Personally, they're all good on their own with just salt - there are an array of sauce add-ons you can get. I can do without the salmon or the filet mignon, but then again, my palate is on team fatty savory flavor. Their sides are doable, though they tend to be all sharing portions. Fries are decent too, cooked in tallow fat. So keep that in mind, you might not like the texture and aroma of fries cooked in animal fat if you're used to eating trans-fatty vegetable oils your whole life.

Stellar service, exceptional burger and such a 10/10 dining experience there! So happy we chose…read moreMeat cellar to celebrate a birthday with good food- especially the burger & the steak platter. The fries were so good we had to pack the leftovers to go.

Wow, what a great find!…read more My lady and I wanted to have lunch on Halloween Sunday and stopped by Risen @ 3pm There was a sign on the door that stated they were closed as of 2pm for a Halloween party. We didn't know anyone was still inside, but a very sweet woman saw us and opened the door, let us in, and made us two very delicious sandwiches. So nice for her to do this as she saw the disappointment on our faces when we saw the sign on the door. This kind of service is so rare, we really appreciated it. We also got two desserts to go, and when we got home and ate them, they were also delicious. Such a great find, and highly recommended

Finally stopped by after passing by so many times. The person behind the counter was very friendly…read more I got the chicken schwarma as it comes and an order of french fries. They are also known for their pastries so I thought I'd try their fall offering since it was seasonal: a pecan cake. I took my meal to go. The wrap was tasty. I really liked their pita. It was light and had a good texture. The meat was also good, however it was very greasy. I was eating it and had grease running down my hand. I will say that the size of the wrap is deceptive. It looks small, but it's actually a good portion. The French fries were just bad. They were way too soggy and oily. Maybe the oil in the fryer wasn't temped correctly? The cake was delicious. It had a maple-y pecan thing going on with a creamy frosting. The other pastries looks really good and I would definitely come back to try them.

As is so often the case w/ many of my "new to me" restaurant reviews, I first discovered Kebab G…read moreStop because of a delivery I had the pleasure of transporting to a KGS patron. I'd been impressed w/ the unflappable happiness pouring outtve (server/co-cook) Danny and told him that I'd likely boomerang back by shift's end to sample their cuisine for myself. Surely enough, I vaulted back a coupla hours later and, judging from the queue of 8-10 folks lined up all awaiting takeout orders, must've brought half of La Verne with me. I'd voted for Kebab G Stop's Kebab Combo Plate, which cones with a stalk apiece of chicken and beef kebabs, fluffy saffron hued rice, a heaping slab of unctuous garlic sauce called TOUM and grilled vegetables. The caliber of the food was good. The chicken cutlets were exquisitely grilled, redolent of the yogurt based sauce they surely pre-marinated the white meat chicken in. The beef cutlets were flavorful but mildly overdone w/ remnants of visible/tactile char on each piece. The rice was very good- Fork fluffy, turmeric hued and saffron kissed. As a connoisseur of the SoCal Mediterranean food scene, I'd still rate GEORGIE'S MEDITERRANEAN w/ the best rice- Theirs comes similarly colored and fluffed BUT is generously studded w/ micro-shreds of chicken that vault their rice to the gold medal. The grilled vegetables were comprised of a grilled tomato and a grilled pepper- Not exactly my idea of a terrific accompaniment to an otherwise very solid meal. I wanna, must, take a moment to applaud the seamless teamwork and efficiency exhibited by the KGS Dynamic Duo of Danny & Jake. Despite a eight order back up, they pinballed thru their duties like an Olympic skiier slamoming down a treacherous mountain course! Does the "G" in Kebab G Stop strike the (culinary!) G spot?! Not necessarily- But elevate the caliber of their side dishes and they'll be ready to earn that fifth star.
