This was our first time at Dave's Hot Chicken. I don't eat meat or poultry but my daughter told me about the cauliflower slider so we went. I ordered the cauliflower slider meal and the cauliflower was so crispy and I got medium spice and it was perfect. My boyfriend got 2 sliders-1 hot and 1 reaper. Omg! The reaper was soooo hot that he was only able to eat 1/2. The hot was just perfect for him to finish. Overall, out experience was great! The food was delicious and the place was clean and parking was easy to get. Also, leaving the parking lot was great too! read more

I could not eat my food, and I wasted my money. I drove down from the High Desert specifically to visit this location, because my son took me to the shop in Ontario a year ago, and I liked the fries I got that day. So, today, I ordered fries and chicken bites from this location. Neither were good. The fries did not have seasoning on them, which is what made them good. Some of the fries were hard, like they weren't cooked long enough coming out of a freezer. The chicken bites were stringy, and I could not chew the chicken. The texture was not edible. It didn't look like the chicken bites were cooked, either. read more

Ordered food via Grub Hub. I give Dave's Hot Chicken and the driver kiddos because our order arrived a little early. Everything we requested was included. This included condiment request and utensils. The food was good. I ordered a two piece tender with coleslaw, extra pickles, and extra slaw. I like to eat it like a big salad. Try it if you love the kale slaw. It was really good. Sometimes I think they give you 3 tenders of they're small to compensate. My problem with that is you get more batter on those smaller pieces. I've eaten here before, the ambiance is casual. They keep the restaurant clean as well. The problem is the location. During busy hours the parking lot is a mess. read more

Came here recently and it was packed, which is always a good sign! Luckily they have the option to order in person or use the kiosks, which made things quick and easy. I ended up using the kiosk and the process was super convenient. It had been a while since my last visit to this location, so I ordered my usual to go: a sandwich, a tender, and a side of mac and cheese. When I got home, everything looked just like I remembered. The food was hot, the spice level was perfect, and it was all really delicious. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely satisfied the craving. I'll be coming back again! read more

It was really good. I personally liked it more than RC. Service was great, drive through employee was very kind.

I happened to be in Fontana and stopped by this Dave's hot chicken because I was craving spicy southern fried chicken with that honey glaze. I kept the spice level at a medium, because even though I can handle hot, I'm trying to enjoy my meal. I topped it all off a small order of mac & cheese and some fries on the side. Dave's hot chicken is my go to for fried chicken sandwiches open late. The chicken meat itself is of excellent quality, halal. I really appreciate the customer care and service that I was given at this location. read more

Down the street from Kaiser hospital on the corner of Sierra Ave / Mango . Walking distance from the hospital to Dave's Hot Chicken ,Small parking lot shared with other businesses. #2 , 2 potato Dave sliders with fries & kale slaw . I personally would hold kale slaw on the side, i prefer topping as i take a bite, to keep the bread from getting soggy. Choose your spice level , Reaper level has a disclaimer, so choose wisely lol!! No spice LITE MILD MILD MEDIUM HOT EXTRA HOT REAPER read more

Much improved from my first visit to a Dave's hot chicken on SD. I stumbled on this location on our way to an appointment at Kaiser. There is outside seating, the inside has a corner window with a view of the traffic. The bathrooms need codes to get into but that's fair these days for a fast food place. The girl at the counter was lovely, she assisted with the menu and we discussed the heat options for myself and my son. We got a combo slider and tender, Dave's bites, an extra tender and a oreo shake. Surprisingly, this was more than enough food for myself and a teenager. The Dave's sauce was a good addition to the juicy bites and tenders. Crinkle cut fries are not usually my favorite but these were fresh and delicious. I really enjoyed them dipped in the sauce. Our favorite flavor was the of the mild bites and the medium was spicy, in a good way. Requesting a sampler platter offer with each heat to try would be fun. We wanted to try them all in small bites! read more

Been coming here for a long time and every time my experiences were pretty good if not great. The food is always good. But today, RYAN RYAN RYAN. I always come in and order at the cashier which I always get helped very quickly by everyone else even when it was busy, but today, Ryan changed that. I came in to the cashier and he went ahead and helped all the other people that came in later to pick up the food, then proceeded to turn back and checked on his to go stations which had nothing for a bit until he decided to even LOOK at my direction and helped me out. No greetings or anything just "What do you want". DAMN I work in restaurant too so I understand you get bad days but DAMN. When he was done helping me he said "thank you my name is Ryan--" something something cuz he was mumbling while walking away WHILE handing me the changes. Also Idk if it's true that you cannot get just 2 flavors instead of 3 for the saucy bites or not but he said I cant do that. First time seeing him there but hopefully I wont get him next time. read more

Still the best chicken sandwich! Also, the window that faces the intersection is perfect. Great view of the bustling city of Fontana. The staff here are friendly and that is key due to the business of this location. Having great food is half the battle. People aren't taught kindness. Leilani is exceptional worker! Goes above and beyond. When something is requested, she's on it. Not everyday do you experience a positive attitude in the workforce and she exemplifies this. Part of the reason why customer keeps going back. The entire experience is overall great and comes back full circle. read more

First time I tried this place. Great place for some very good food. I must say the bird was done right. It's unpretentious but scored really well on food preparation. If anyone likes fried chicken this is it. Better than Any chain including Jolly B. Better than any KFC or Korean Fried chicken by a million miles. The heat levels are serious. If it says hot..It's hot. I tried the chicken tenders and a s/w It checked all the boxes. Will be sure to try this again read more

From all locations , this one didn't hit the spot , asked for medium spice , chicken wasn't spicy and hardly had any flavor , glad it was cooked fully tho at least but they need to not be afraid to season their chicken read more

Always has that great flavor that takes you back to the first time you had it . Cauli bites were really good

I went here today and the food was HORRIBLE. I do not recommend this place, the chicken has TOO MUCH SEASONING the fries or pretty good tho. The wait time is not worth it and it's too expensive for 10 tenders is 50$ i do not recommended Daves hot chicken at all! read more

I recently went to this location and this was actually my first time trying Dave's! Unfortunatelyit wasn't so good when while I was waiting for my order a fight broke out and it was between an older gentleman and one of the staff, which they were recording each other. The environment was pretty neat where everything was clean but that was a mood killer. The wait time took around 20 minutes, which was also not that great. The food however, was outstanding, where the chicken was extremely juicy and I enjoyed it well. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fontana, California

The service was great. However the cost and charging for every little thing is ridiculous, if I order a meal for the cost they are charging but it comes with no drink and you have to pay for ranch. Not even a complimentary one, for the meal I just ordered. Like what do you mean I have pay almost an additional 4 dollars for a ranch and a drink after ordering a combo. read more

Love Dave's Hot Chicken! Their chicken tenders are sooo juicy and good! Even the nonspicy option was actually very flavorful for the weaker spice tolerance people like myself. The slider is also so good and definitely recommended! The fries were also seasoned well! read more

I took a friend to Dave's for lunch today and boy did I regret it! It was the first time we visited Dave's, we had an Awesome cashier Diana that explained all 100 questions to us and even showed us some of the food... I wanted to like this place but here we go! I ordered the 2 slider combo which was a whopping $18.99 Friend ordered a slider with a chicken tender combo $12.99 ALL the chicken taste Burnt with a oily aftertaste, the French fries where below average, the Bread on the tender seems like they picked up the cheapest bread at a corner market, the sauce was a clear BAD Imitation of Canes. The chicken sandwiches are small. The amount of Coleslaw they give you is a joke. Why even give it to me? I had a friend warn me about how bad It was to me but I wanted to try it out for myself. This is clearly a BAD attempt to copy Canes but this is just my opinion... Maybe one day I will go try it again to update me review/ read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Hot #Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries YUM! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fontana, California

Menu is simple like In N Out. Basically only got chicken tenders as sliders or solo and fries. The fries have a Cajon seasoning on them and the hot chicken can be ordered in a variety of heat levels This place is similar to Hattie B's but not as good. Too much breading for me. Food-7, Service-8, Ambiance-6 read more

If I can give a 0 star I would I spend $88.69 in 5 meals not including the drinks .I will never purchase this kind of meal again . I wanted to try something different I should've of just stayed with canes there 100 delicious.Daves hot chicken needs to stop giving sandwich bread as aside. chicken is over season with a armpit smell I've never seen sandwich bread as aside or at least make it toast or a roll not sandwich. read more

Food was barely edible. Only ate it because I was hungry. The buns were super cold and the chicken didn't even look like a chicken breast. Makes me wonder what type of quality chicken do they use. They put 2 what looked like chicken strips that wouldn't even stay in the buns so I had to eat it like finger food. Worst experience at Dave's EVER. I will now go to the ontario location.. I hate when new restaurants start off really good but then think it's OK to become sub-par and not put quality 1st. read more

Service 5 stars: Diana was the cashier that took my order. Greeted me with a smile and conversation! Friendly and quick service! Food: I've had other hot chicken style sliders before and this one so far tops all of those places. I ordered Dave's #2. I got the medium spice level. Probably should have went with hot because the medium was barely any kick (for mt taste) but still good none the less! Had a side of Mac n cheese. It had some spice in it which made the flavor really bold in a good way. For sure will be back. read more
