yesterday, sunday, march 8th at about 7 pm, me and a group of my friends (about 16 of us) went to this location. we had just got out of music rehearsal and wanted to spend a nice, casual dinner together. when we arrived there were a good amount of people there, but by the time we had sat down there was almost no one seated outside where we were. since there were a lot of us, we had to put a couple of tables together. the shift lead (i am assuming, anyway) came out and started speaking to us with a bad attitude, saying, "i wish you guys would have told me you were moving the tables. you can't be blocking the sidewalk. my manager just called me and said you can't do that." ALSO BTW i didn't know it was mandatory to bother the workers about moving the tables if we were going to move them back. so we said "no problem" and moved the tables into an L shape so we would be out of the sidewalk but still able to sit together. this lady then came back outside, took a picture of us, and started talking on the phone. she came back again and said, "excuse me, i already told you guys you need to stop doing that and move all the tables back. you can't move them at all." one of us said, "okay, sorry, that was unclear the first time." and she responded, "yeah, you guys can't do that. my manager said." it made all of us really uncomfortable, but we had already got our food, so we just moved all the tables back and sat separately. it was the most uncomfortable and unprofessional interaction i've experienced. my friends and i will not be going back to this location, and i would not recommend it if you want to enjoy a nice meal with more than three friends. 0 stars if i could, but the mozzarella sticks were good if anyone was wondering. read more

My first visit here was unacceptable due to severe hygiene issues and poor service. I observed staff handling trash and cleaning tables before prepping food all without washing hands or wearing gloves. To make matters worse, our order was given to other customers who handled the food before it was retrieved and handed to us. When I asked for a fresh replacement, I received cold food in the original greasy boxes, including a piece of chicken that had been torn. When I requested a refund, I was told no manager was on-site and I'd have to return tomorrow. This establishment is unprofessional and unsanitary, I will not be back. This happened Sunday May 10 at 7:55pm read more

Dave, I know how great your sandwiches are. I wasn't planning on eating at your place today but my temptations got the best of me and I ended up having your mini sliders. It was good. Really good. The perfect amount for someone who didn't want to eat too much while maintaining the same great taste as a normal sandwich. The honey and the sauce paired with the fries? Fuhgetaboutit. But what I can't forget is how sticky my fingers got after going through your meals. How could I open the bathroom doors without getting honey and crumbs all over the handles? Look like a dinosaur by opening it with my elbows? Which I didn't even have the option to since the bathroom was in use during the duration of my dinner. I had to resort to getting the water from the dispenser and having my wife pour it over my hands outside. Your food is great. Your staff's service is cool. But you could really use some hand wipes to go with your dishes. Just my 2 cents. See you soon again. Xoxo Daniel read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Daaaavvveeee let me in. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fullerton, California

Went back Friday 4-17 to try again. As I walked in two guys where at the counter bickering with the staff about the sauce they got and they left. While I was looking at the menu the employee greeted me with welcome and proceeded to talk to the back room cook/manager about the two men about whatever the sauce issue was. While I was deciding what to order I watched the back room cook he /she him her on their cell phone texting waiting for me to place my order I turned and left. Cell phones as we all should know are filthy and should not be in your cooks hands while prepping food. read more

I love Dave's but this location is not where you want to go. Lots of customers, including us, waiting on orders. Our food came out lukewarm. Trash bins were overflowing. Stay far away from from the Fullerton location. read more

The wait was long but the food came out hot and was worth it. Despite the wait being long, the cashier, Kayleigh, was an absolute beast and kept the line moving. She constantly helped pack orders, confirmed door dash order, Uber Eats orders, and took orders at the same time. I also overheard other patrons saying this was the best and preferred location in the area. read more

Mel! She has great customer service skills. Always greets you with a smile. My son's favorite chicken.

I had Dave's for the first time in almost 2 years. I was really craving hot chicken today. Wow this place went downhill, it just does not taste the same anymore. For starters, the portions got smaller. The chicken wow, between the 2 tenders, one was ok the other was mediocre. The fries were awful as well. I also ordered the new hot mozzarella stick to try and they took forever on one stick. It was ok, but the embarrassing part, to my surprise, was that it was better than the chicken. The reason for the extra star was that they gave me extra sauces. Tables were also not clean so I had to ask to have it cleaned. Safe to say I'm never coming back, good bye Dave's. read more

They have unique decorations and all around fun environment. The service was quick and polite. The food was better than I anticipated. The chicken had a lot of flavor. And I loved the sauce they have! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - They need to update their photo on the kiosk and rename this from mini sliders to MICRO sliders. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fullerton, California

I ordered the two hot sandwiches with fries combo and shared with one other person. The portion was a little small to split for the two of us but the seasoning of the chicken was great and I like that they give you extra pickles on the side! The fries are also not soggy and the sauce that comes with it reminds of spread from in n out. Overall, it's a solid meal for a quick bite! I ordered hot and it wasn't too spicy for me personally but I don't think I would try any spicier than that. read more

I don't care what anybody says but Dave's Hot Chicken is SOOOOOO BOMB. I legit crave this every weekend and give in to order my usual 1 Slider and 1 tender combo with extra dave's sauce and honey. Gotta have the sauce with honey, life changing. I usually doordash from this location and I never really had a bad experience, my order has always been correct. The size of the tenders are usually also pretty big, which is great! Literally one of my favorite meals ever. read more

Customer service was on top of things. They addressed my concerns, and provided a solution to the issue. I will try this location again and see how that goes. But having a responsive business is nice direction. read more

I got the two sliders with mac & cheese ($14.99) and other orders for my family. It was their first time eating food from Dave's (and my umpteenth), and they enjoyed it. I really appreciate how the chicken has a blend of savory and slightly sweet flavors. I was hungry at the time, so each bite was quick even though the portion size was large. The price point for two sliders with an accompanying side is relatively high, but it's still a nice and reliable treat to have. read more

Chris was really nice and helpful for my first time here. The restaurant was clean and music was good. Service was quick as well.

I will never purchase anything from this location, even if my life depends on it. You restroom policy toward delivery drivers is singling out one of the most important parts of your business, delivery. If you insist that we make a purchase just to use the restroom, then I will never buy anything from you. This policy is the most ridiculous policy I have ever heard of. I will make sure to pass this on to yelp and Apple Maps and any other platform I can think of, hoping to reduce your business until this lame policy is changed. Delivery drivers make sure you leave any restrooms you use in a tidy and neat manner ( the way you found it). read more

We were told that we would be refunded online by the manager. Then we were texted by a representative named Jorge and were told that we'd receive our refund within 3 business days. It has been longer than 3 business days and we still haven't been refunded. read more

I came here for the first time expecting to experience the hype but it was such a let down. The wait time was crazy for a small order on a Wednesday (1 hour). All this for the food to come out dry and room temp. Completely ruined the experience and I can't say I will come back again. Saw another lady today experiencing the same issue and attempting to get a refund. Save yourself the hassle. They need more or new staff. read more

Ordered food for me and my little brother, I saw our food just sit on the counter for 15minutes before they actually handed it to us, and people who came and ordered after us got theirs before us. overall needs better service. read more

I had horrible customer service the kid at the register is very absent minded not all there I told him I wanted sauces for my food then to me the options let me pay for the food then when I asked for my sauces he said I had to pay for them like he forgot I asked about sauce for my food read more

Update 10/03/25: Dave's Hot Chicken corporate admitted the mistake and promised resolution within 3 business days back on 8/21/25. It's now almost 2 months later and nothing was ever refunded by them. The store's phone is still disconnected. I had to go through my bank to get my money back. This company is dishonest, unprofessional, and unaccountable. Avoid at all costs. read more

Great ambiance, amazing food, and nice service. A must-try for anyone stopping by or living around the area. I went during the busiest hour of the day. People were coming in and out of the place everywhere. I ordered the Dave Meal #1 (medium spice with Mac and cheese) and the Dave's not chicken fried (cheesy fries topped with cauliflower). The tenders were very juicy and the seasoning was a little sweet and salty. It wasn't as spicy as I would have liked it to be, but it was still great with the Dave's Sauce. Mac and cheese was the best I've had. Fries were great, not soggy at all and cauliflower added a good crunch. The pickles were a smart choice to add, since it added a nice refreshing sourness to cut through the salt. Definitely coming back again read more

5hours before closing and they couldn't serve me a supposed free sandwich on the app? Very unprofessional I cut my gym time and drove down here just for them to say cutoff for a free sandwich was 9pm and it was 9:05?....why can't they put this on the app so I dont waste my time and energy to get denied, 5hours before closing! Crazy unprofessional by the establishment read more

Is the hype worth it? Yes, of course it is. In terms of cost, all fast food places are more expensive these days. But you'll love this place. read more

Dave's is probably my favorite of all the hot chicken chains. Being hungry after work late one night I was pleased so see this Dave's location still open at 10pm. I ordered a single slider and a small chocolate milkshake. Dave's has several choices for spiciness and I chose "mild" and also added cheese to my sandwich. Even though they call them "sliders" the chicken & bun are good sized and plenty for a late night snack. The chicken was tender and moist, seasoned perfectly, and served piping hot. The slaw and pickles add to the overall flavor enjoyment. They make a respectable shake here, thick and tasty. The interior of this one is has only 6 or 7 tables and sparse in decor. The restroom requires a code, which didn't seem to help much as it was a complete mess. As it is in a shopping center there is plenty of stress-free parking. The staff here are exceptionally friendly and I observed them to be quite patient while taking orders. This location of Dave's adds to the chain's consistently good food and service. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - slider - Chicken Shop Near Me - Fullerton, California

Dave's hot chicken was bomblicious!!!!! A couple of friends recommended this place and well they were right on with this one. I ordered the Dave's #4 Slider with fries. One thing I asked was to not put pickles or give me any pickles. I did request instead of regular fries to have them replaced with cheese fries. You get to chose the level of spicy for your chicken. The fact that the chicken is juicy and not dry like at some places already has eon me over!!! The location is neat to dine in and admire some of the art inside the location. Clean definitely and also have outside seating! The staff is nice and friendly. Definitely will be coming back to try more of their menu. read more

I guess going on the day they are giving free sliders means everything else was going to be bad. My husband went to pickup the free slider and then got a slider combo too with fries and a drink. Both sliders, the medium and extra hot, were seasoned incorrectly with zero to no spice. The fries were super stale. Sadly we had to throw them out. Very disappointed in our meal this evening. read more

On 12/22/2025 I placed an order through door dash and experienced a biased in delivery time due to tip issues (I gave the minimum )I called and spoke with Jessica to shared a complaint but only to have her hang up on me . I have voice recorded the phone call to highlight the incompetence of the establishment . Terrible service. My efforts will be focus on rectifying this issue via corporate management read more
