My daughter was craving Dave's hot chicken so we placed an online order for pickup. I ordered their small loaded chicken fries with pickles and coleslaw - very tasty and good quality for a "fast food" place. Their house sauce is really good and the seasoning for their chicken is not overpowering. The chicken tenders look like their drenched in seasoning, but it's pretty well - balanced. My daughter loves this place - I'd give it 7.5 out of 10 for me. Enjoy! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - definitely someone else's order - Chicken Shop Near Me - Glendale, California

Honestly pretty good competitor in the chicken and fry game. I appreciate the range of spice level as they have several options. The sliders are better than the tenders as I do think the tender meal/fries are a little bland overall, you do need the sauce. But the slider with kale slaw is delicious and I would get again. Mac and cheese is very regular nothing special. side note: ordered on doordash. would recommend to go in person as i noticed after they upcharge a lot for the meal compared to other places. food did come fast and still warm however! read more

Late to the game, but Dave's is a solid hot chicken. Went with mild, and definitely no heat. Could probably handle the hot level for my next visit. Online order was quick and easy, and pick up time was spot on. Portions were good for the sliders, but could use some more fries in the tray. Everything was nice a crispy. Fries were well seasoned with a nice crunch. Chicken as also well seasoned, bun was nice and sweet. The crunchy pickles were also on point. Could've used some more Coleslaw in the slider. Overall, good experience. Will come back and again. read more

My last experience with Dave's in Glendale was horrible but I am always willing to give everyone a second chance today March 7, 2026, second time going was just as bad went for dine in and it took over 20 minutes to get our food not even a huge order. When i raised my concern and frustration the manager (I assume because she was one of two women wearing a blue shirt, the younger of the two) seemed to care less about my frustration not even a "well try better next time" Unfortunately Dave's has lost another customer due to low performers and even lower quality managers. read more

All the Dave's locations are not the same... For the past few months, I have tried multiple different DHC locations (Glendale, Rosemead, Little Tokyo), and they've all changed, not in a good way. Their chicken used to be full of meat, but now the tenders are becoming more like crispy skin. They're getting closer to KFC quality, which should be taken as an insult because Dave's used to be way better. It's getting crispier, less meaty, and more greasy. Also, they seem to be acting stingy again with the seasoning. The Extra Hot just tastes like Hot. Not as flavorful as it used to be. Too bad DHC can't be one of my few pregnancy cravings. I've given them many chances to bounce back but they seem to be cutting corners. It's not even worth the money at this point. Refer to the photos for greasy bread and an unseasoned Extra Hot Tender. read more

Loved the sauce and flavorful seasoning the food came out very quick I got the two tenders with Mac instead of fries and it was very creamy loved it. read more

Tenders are nasty soggy. No care for quality. These are supposed to be crunchy but I guess they only do it right for "influencers" (wtf is an influencer lol). Big time rip off these days. If I'm paying $5 for a 2oz tender, it better be perfect. It's not even beef lmfao chicken is cheap AF. Never been the same since their Hollywood location. Bye Felicia read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Skimpy fries, this business has changed drastically - Chicken Shop Near Me - Glendale, California

I had a horrible experience today. I'm making it very clear that I am upset and was asking for a refund, not excuses. Instead of addressing my request, the lady tried to calm me down by saying "everything is OK, let me get you your fries," and then quickly walked away as I was asking for a refund. By that point, I had already driven home and had to drive back. I was in no mood -- I expect my food hot and served together, not hot fries with a cold or "warm" sandwich. If they wanted to make it right, they should have either refunded me or at least given me the choice of a refund with the food. Don't try to convince me everything is OK when it clearly isn't. The mistake was on their end, and instead of owning up to it, there was no accountability. I spent $22 and expected a decent experience, not frustration. To make things worse, this isn't the first time -- the past three times, something has gone wrong with my order. Three strikes and you're out. I ended up leaving my food, upset and hungry. Now I'll be taking my business elsewhere. For $7 at Del Taco, I can get three tacos without all this hassle read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Glendale, California

One of the few late night joints open in the area and a great alternative if you want fast food and don't want to brave the super fisted lines at In-N-Out. Although the drive through here is a bit bizarre, since it's behind the building and it's not a stand alone fast food restaurant, I don't think... Eclectic décor (rubber chicken in a UFO crashed into the corner of the ceiling) and a good crowd of people even in the later evening hours, you can easily see how many people enjoy Dave's. We ordered ahead literally less than 10 minutes before arriving there and it was ready within me waiting 5 minutes there. Super efficient service. We got the Combo #1 that comes with 2 tenders (you can customize the spiciness of each tender) with fries. It comes with a slice of bread, pickles, and their Dave's Sauce (reminiscent of every creamy tangy orange sauce you can get at most hot chicken places). I ordered mild and medium hot and I'm really glad that I did because that medium hot was breaching the points of almost burning my mouth, panting while eating. Chicken was moist enough and the mild was yummy and had a nice heat. I'm sure if I ordered anything hotter than that it would have been completely inedible. Overall not bad! read more

A no fuss fried chicken joint. Truly the entire menu is fried food, don't recommend if you're trying to be healthy lol That being said, folks are super friendly when you walk in and you can order from an iPad. The sliders were good and the fries were great shoestring ones. I recommend going fairly spicy because I got the medium and felt nothing haha besides that I had a great experience! read more

I really love Dave's but this particular location has a consistency issue when ordering from Ubereats. Some days they'll forget to add your drink. Some days they don't put the side of pickles in the order. Some days the chicken is really dry or smaller in size on other days. Today: no pickles and skimpy chicken. read more

I ordered a chicken sandwich with fries through Yelp from the Glendale location. The service was impressively fast, and my order was ready in no time. The sandwich was tasty, and if you're specifically craving fried chicken, I'd recommend Dave's Hot Chicken instead. The Glendale spot stays consistently busy, but they still manage to get your food out quickly, which is a huge plus. read more

The chicken is excellent, both the mild for the kids and spicy for the adults! My only issue was I had ordered a milk shake that I didn't receive! I walked back in and was told I hadn't ordered one, but when I got home I noticed that I had been charged for it, but the employee had folded over that part of my order. I live in Westlake Village and was visiting , so I wasn't able to go back. read more

On Saturday September 7 2025 around 1 p.m. I came to this terrible place to pick up my online order. I am visually impaired and I was unable to get my order because the employees here were extremely unhelpful and kept telling me to "look at the monitor." I explained several times that I cannot see the screen due to my vision disability but they just repeated the same phrase over and over "look at the monitor." How exactly am I supposed to look at the monitor if I cannot see what is written there because of my vision Why was it such a problem for them to simply hand me my online order The situation was only resolved because my friend who was waiting for me in the car came inside and helped. This place is awful I do not recommend it if you have vision problems. read more

This is the 3rd location I have been to. Seating here is a little smaller. Not too crowded on a Saturday night. I ordered and got my food within 5 mins. Portions were good. An observation about Dave's Hot Chicken: very inconsistent location to location. Got the medium and at one location it was super mild. Here the seasoning was heavy and it was salty and spicy. Another location has tiny tenders. This one was a good size. If you find a location you like, stick with that one. Trying a different one can be hit or miss. Overall this one was ok, just a but heavy on the seasoning read more

I stopped by to get dinner and decided to use the restroom before ordering. There are two two identical restrooms on the left side of the hallway that are designated as "all gender restrooms". I selected the first unlocked restroom on the left and used the urinal (which is directly in front of the door). As I'm using the urinal I hear a key enter the door knob and the door opens! The door was locked and there was no knock. I was shocked and embarrassed and I asked the employee what he was doing. There is a legal expectation of privacy in the restroom. "THIS IS AN EMPLOYEE RESTROOM!" He yells. When I exited the employee didn't even have the decency to apologize for the mix up. Most people would feel just as awkward. He said that I used the employee restroom and the door should have been locked. No where on the door did it say that it was an employee restroom. I was obviously upset and embarrassed and the employee still didn't have empathy or the decency to apologize for the mistake. He even had the audacity to say, "I'm not mad." Well of course he wasn't mad, he wasn't the one who has his privacy violated!!! Management/franchisee, please fix your sign if that restroom is indeed an "employee restroom". Also train your employees in customer service. This entire interaction and post could have been mitigated with a simple apology. I'm very upset, bothered, and embarrassed by the action of your employee. As a manager/business owner you should be too. read more

Decent chicken spot in the area. Chicken tenders were a bit salty on my visit. Even mild has a nice kick to it. Friendly staff. If you're lucky, theres a parking lot in the back but its tiny and shared with other businesses. Best to street park if you can. read more

As an obsessed chicken sandwich guy, had to give this place a shot - finally. Ordered Slider with Fries and Two Tenders with Fries. Extra hot. Delivered to my door. First, this food doesn't travel well. Moisture zaps the crisp out of the chicken and the fries. Lucky my pit bull loves fries. Unlike competitors who have figured this out, Dave's has not. So next time, I'll eat on site. As to extra hot heat level. Ok. It's a personal preference. I get it. This just wasn't that spicy. Next time reaper even if I have to feel it twice or call my mother. So lesson here on my first visit. Eat in and go one up one heat level than what you desire. All good, I will definitely give it another shot. Love the pickles! read more

I had always wanted to try a bonafide hot chicken joint. Being in Los Angeles, which is known for having a multitude of hot chicken restaurant options, I was excited to try Dave's Hot Chicken at its location in Glendale. Parking was plentiful on the street where Dave's is situated on Colorado Boulevard. I enjoyed the simplicity of the front counter and the menu, which offers three options from which to choose. You could choose from two (2) chicken tenders and fries, two (2) sliders with fries, or a chicken tender and a slider with fries. You can select the level of heat that you want with your order: No spice, lite mild, mild, medium, hot, very hot, or reaper. Given I wanted to obtain a good feel for the heat levels at Dave's, I decided on the two (2) tenders and fries at medium heat while ordering a single tender with hot heat and one with very hot heat. I enjoy spicy food and heat, so I determined I wouldn't be smoked out with my selected options. Additionally, I ordered a chocolate milkshake to help with whatever heat level might be a little overwhelming. My order came reasonably fast from ordering it, and I brought my food back to my table with my mouth watering. Chicken-wise, the tenders are delicious, juicy, and fresh. Served on top of white bread, the tenders were cooked to perfection between the fried batter and freshness of the chicken, while the seasoning was perfect, which led to each bite being magical. The crinkle-cut fries were nicely seasoned as well. Heat-wise, I'm glad I did the medium, hot, and very hot heat levels. When comparing one to the other, I discovered that spice and heat level grows gradually but never overwhelmingly. While the very hot level was, to put it simply, hotter than the other two levels, I didn't feel smoked out where my mouth was uncontrollably on fire, which I enjoyed. Next time I'm in Los Angeles, I will return to Dave's to try their tenders at the reaper heat level to see how hot the spice is. Additionally, I am curious about the cheese fries and the mac and cheese. read more

Loved it. I haven't had Dave's in a few years. I was a fan back when they started in a parking lot. Glad to see them doing so good. Inside was simple they only had a few tables for inside seating but they also have a small patio in the front. I got the #3 combo (slider + tender). Delicious! As someone that likes spicy, the hot level was just right. Might have to take it up a notch next time. Just the right amount of slaw on the slider. The tender comes on a slice of bread. I think I'll ask for extra pickles for that next time. Great sauce too. Can't go wrong with any of the combos. I know there's plenty of hot chicken options but will definitely be coming back to Dave's. Service was great. Friendly staff in masks. There's street parking or a small lot in back. read more
