    My mouth is full of ice cubes and yogurt right now from just 1 bite of this. FML The sliders are superb though

    Daaaavvveeee let me in.
    Daniel D.

    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

    Cheese fries

    Wtf cheese fries?! Reg fries $3.99 vs cheese fries $5.79 I paid $1.20 more for this? Do better

    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.

    My order with the Dave bites and sauce dipper ordered 2x

    Basic math was lost upon them. I told them I ordered 2 Dave's bites 10 piece that had a sauce dipper in each. The supervisor told me that I only paid for it once, but I know I selected it twice and paid extra for it because it's on my receipt. I tried to show her my order, and she said "can you let me explain this to you so that you can understand" in a very snippy tone and eye rolls. She continued to explain multiple times on and on while I stood there that I didn't order it so again I "could understand" when it's clearly on my order and on my receipt that she refused to look at. So unnecessary to be this disrespectful and unprofessional over a sauce.

    The chiiicken lmao

    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!

    Courtney T.

    I ubered the food and it was delicious 8.3/10! Spice level for mild and medium wasn't spicy! Add honey to the chicken solid 9/10! Mac and cheese it was okay 6.5/10. Sauce 9/10! Pickles 7/10 nice crunch! Fries have to eat right away for crispiness 8.5/10.

    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

    Delicious sandwich but what happened to the coleslaw? Just one or two pieces of it, might as well not have put any. This is nonsense.

To order, you can go through the line or you can order through a tablet screen. I decided to order with someone that could help answer my questions lol The inside and outside were nice! Everything was clean and well kept. There's parking in the back and it's right in Downtown Fullerton, so it's easy to walk to. The food is good too. I got the "original" level of heat for the chicken. It was super yummy! It had a kick to it but was cooled down with their yummy special sauce. I got the combo which came with waffle fries and a drink. All were good, 8/10 stars.

Service 1 star - nothing but gen Z stare is…read morethe standard but sometimes it's downright rude, being ignored at the front desk for up to 10 mins before an employee even acknowledges your existence. I only come back because the food is so good. Tonight however, I came back, and actually was met for once with a happy and motivated employee at the counter - she gets a gold star and is the only reason(other than the food ofc)this is a 3, not a 2 star review - and was refused because I was paying cash. Cash is king. I can't believe you would refuse a customer because you "already counted your drawer". I had exact change + tip, and the manager didn't even have the decency to come out and tell me herself. Mind you this was nowhere near closing time, and it wasn't busy. I worked in restaurants and service for 8 years and the service here is just garbage, seemingly from the top down. I don't write negative reviews often. I feel that most negative reviews are due to a one time bad experience or some sort of personal grudge with a particular employee. This is not the case. This is years of being tortured by LOVING the food of an establishment but actively reducing how often you eat there because of how disgusting you are made to feel by the time you walk out. Whoever owns this place, thank you for the chicken, but PLEASE fix your staff. I love and go out of my way to support small businesses, but tonight TACO BELL is getting mine, and for $20 cheaper too. This experience was on 4/03/26, at about 8:40 pm, in case the owner wants to find out what evidently terrible manager was on shift, and the girl working at the front desk that should be promoted to said position.

There is a small lot out front for parking, and I suspect you can park on the street when the lot fills up. We happened to come by during the Korea vs. Mexico game, and understandably, the place gets packed, with a line forming outside. We somehow beat the rush by about 30 minutes and were seated at a table as soon as we entered. We also realized then that they didn't have the all-you-can-eat option, so we ended up ordering the chicken wings, their version of loaded fries, and steamed rice. We also placed the order via the QR code. We had our drinks delivered to our table shortly afterward. The food, however, was taking a long time to get to our table. It may have been a combination of the FIFA World Cup and a staff shortage, but when we were there, there was only 1 kitchen staff member and 1 wait staff member. The lady on the wait staff did everything from serving food to accepting new customers and topping off water for all the tables. A wall separates the restaurant; there is a front room and an inside room, and both rooms had televisions broadcasting the game. The food itself was decent for the price that they charge. The chicken wings came out piping hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. They have some options for different wing flavors. The fries were also delicious and well-fried. I hope the restaurant invests in more wait staff because there were times we needed something from the wait staff. Seeing how busy she was, or sometimes she's just in the front room, we haven't seen her in a while to get whatever we needed. Overall, it was a good experience. The food was good, and the atmosphere is very unique; it's definitely a nice place to get some Korean street food when you're in the area. The only things to note are that parking is limited, food will take a while to cook as it is made fresh, and there will be some waiting to be done if you need wait staff. Last thing to note: I love that they had some Korean Fusion dishes, and I wish I had a bigger stomach to try these as well during our visit, perhaps another time!

We're big fans of their Deluxe Meat Lovers Pizza -- the addition of garlic and red onions takes it to another level. If you're okay with pineapple, you have to try the Hot Hawaiian Pizza too. Both are consistently fantastic! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect family-friendly spot. The faith-based worship music playing in the background adds such a nice, uplifting touch. The only downside is they're closed on Sundays (and Mondays, I believe), which is tough because that's when we seem to crave pizza the most! We've made it a tradition to go on Saturdays instead.

Chick-N-Out was one of the most highly rated places in Anaheim California. Chick-N-Out is located on Ball Road near Disneyland. It's open daily from 5:00 P.M to 11:00 P.M. Extended hours are on Fridays and Saturdays. This pop up food truck offers a variety of chicken sandwiches, French Fries, wraps, nachos, tenders and more! Most of their combo meals cost between $18.00-$20.00 each. My husband and I both ordered a chicken sandwich combo. My Chicken sandwich only had pickles on it, but he had everything added to his sandwich! There were a few customers ahead of us, so we ended up waiting about 15 minutes for the order. After we got our meal, we decided to eat it in our car fresh instead of bringing it back to the hotel. The chicken sandwich was so delicious! It was super crunchy. I think it was deep fried with the corn flake crust. It was one of the more unique chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The chicken cutlet was relatively thin, but still scrumptious! I haven't had anything like this before! The French Fries were good. They needed a little bit more salt for me. The Cajun corn was slightly spicy. The cooks in the food truck prepare the orders from scratch. While we were waiting for the order, we saw a lot of the chicken cutlets being prepared and deep fried. I really enjoyed eating at Chick-N-Out. It's one of my new favorite places to eat at near Disneyland!
