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.

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!

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!!!

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 ordered two sesame bagels, toasted, with cream cheese on the side, and two everything bagels, toasted, with cream cheese on them. When the employee took my order, she repeated it back correctly as two sesame bagels and two everything bagels. However, when I received my order and checked it before leaving, I discovered that I had only been given two sesame bagels and one everything bagel. When I politely asked about the missing everything bagel, the employee insisted that I had only ordered one. She also refused to provide her name when asked. Instead of resolving the issue professionally, I was required to pay again for the missing bagel. The dismissive attitude and lack of customer service were disappointing. As a former New Yorker, I was equally disappointed with the bagels themselves. The restaurant promotes a New York-style bagel experience, but these bagels did not resemble the authentic New York bagels I grew up eating. They lacked the characteristic chew, texture, and flavor that make New York bagels famous. The bagels were also barely toasted. Rather than having a crisp exterior and warm center, they seemed only lightly warmed. A properly toasted bagel should have some crunch and color, and these simply did not. Mistakes happen in every restaurant, but how those mistakes are handled is what matters. My recommendation to future customers is to carefully inspect their order before leaving the counter. Unfortunately, based on this experience, both the customer service and product quality fell well below expectations.

I do wish they were a bit more affordable or had a senior menu but the food is prepared nicely and always taste delicious. My one negative gripe is the music it's just way too loud and not appropriate for people my age to want to stay and order more. I have spoke to friends of mine and we all agree the music is not appropriate for this style of restaurant even classical works but top 40 pop is a bit much and detracts from the French theme vibe. Some French Music would make this place a dream. Since it is a French themed restaurant. Or at least appears to be. But the contemporary music deflects away from the French vibe and atmosphere. So I give a thumbs down on the loud music ie. minus a star. However I feel changing the music only would add to the ambience and the vibe of the place, just my opinion. However, sadly due to the Music, I choose sit outside but when your my age with this heat being so awful it would be so nice to sit inside with the air-conditioner with nice refreshing music. I will cross my fingers it gets better as I would eat there every day. On the upside there is one lovely tall dark haired fair girl at the counter who looks very French and has a European vibe about her aura she just makes the place. She is so kind and welcoming. I have gone in very stressed a couple times and her demeanor is so calm and sweet she makes me feel welcome and appreciated and diffuses my stress level every time. Very few people nowadays have that kind of charm. She doesn't make me feel rushed or brushed off like most service people. I just adore her energy she has the best manners and eloquence of any waitress in Claremont. I'm always happy when I see she's working. I wish I could pronounce her name I think it's Bree or Bly or something like that. Also they definitely need name tags too. But the food is very good.

The Peel is a newer açaí shop that has become one of my favorite spots in the Claremont Village…read more This is the FIRST place I stop by every time I come to the area. Beyond the range of sorbet flavors and fruit bowls, I love that they have expanded the menu to include sandwiches and smoothies.

This little joint is so well-kept and aesthetically pleasing, with an earthy artisan vibe that makes you just wanna sit in and chill. The staff is always friendly and quick with orders. If you're looking for something satiating, refreshing, and yummy--especially during this SoCal summer--please check out The Peel.

They have kiosks here that take your order, which I appreciate. I enjoy being able to take my time and figuring out what fruit I want in my açaí bowl. The prices here are extremely reasonable, I paid only $10. I got the smallest size and expected it to be really small, but it filled me up! They're not stingy with fruits here unlike a lot of other açaí places. My order came out within a few minutes and I didn't wait that long to get my bowl. My bowl was really delicious and I enjoy how their texture is different than other acai bowls I've had in the past. They also only use fresh ingredients here which is something I appreciate. If you're in Claremont, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a good snack! They also offer sandwiches and other fresh food.

We came on a weekend and it was super busy (as it should be honestly with how amazing the food and service are). We got the blackened salmon with penne pasta and baby potatoes, and the flat iron steak with bow tie pasta and herb brown rice. The steak was cooked perfectly medium. The bow tie pasta is served cold and has a vinegary flavor to it, definitely a distinct taste, but I personally loved it because I enjoy sour/vinegary flavors. I can see why it might not be everyone's favorite though, but I personally really enjoyed it. The salmon was also super flavorful and cooked perfectly. Same with the penne pasta and potatoes. Honestly everything was just made really well and good. For the sauce, we got their popular jalapeno garlic sauce and it paired well with absolutely everything. Needless to say, this place was really good from head to toe. I also got to meet the owner and he was super friendly too. I seriously wish they would open one closer to my area. Parking was really easy and the ambience was lively with sports playing all around the bar and plenty of seating.
