We were in the area and have heard a few different things about Dave's and decided to grab some food. We ordered online and drove by for pickup. Thankfully, the food was ready quickly, although there was a bit of a wait from the customer ahead of us. Looking inside, it wasn't the cleanest with trash over a bunch of tables, but hopefully it's just from a busy day from earlier. We took our order home and were very happy to open our boxes. The loaded Mac and fries were very full, and I especially enjoyed the amount of sauce added. It was just enough with the Mac and cheese to keep things saucy and not dry, but not too overwhelming. We didn't realize it would be Mac and cheese and chicken on top of fries, though. We thought it would only be loses on Mac and cheese. This was a pleasant surprise! The sliders were a big highlight for me. I got mild and my husband got hot, and they were perfect. The mild had just a subtle and slight kick with tons of seasoning and flavor. The hot had a creeping spice that hit a bit after, which was nice. We really enjoyed the quality of the chicken. They were large pieces and we had a good amount of pickles and slaw, making a great slider. The fries were also seasoned perfectly, adding great flavor to each crunch. My husband is a huge Zaxby's fan and has mentioned how unfortunate it is that there are none in California. Dave's Hot Chicken is exceptionally similar in the seasoning, quality, and options. Although the items are a bit pricey, they rival other fast food options in the area. We most certainly will be back for more soon! read more

I feel compelled to write this review as my fkn mouth is on complete fire right now. So I know that this is just me and my big back ass complaining but please people DO NOT GET THE REAPER flavor unless your name is fucking Lucifer because I thought I can handle heat and when I say I thought I mean I know my body and my taste buds and I love habanero. Idk where tf this seasoning comes from but it cannot be from earth because one bite and my mouth felt like I ate coals from a fresh fire. I still have my lips numb and my tongue numb. My mouth is still on fire. I've tried this place before and I actually got the spicy and then the extra spicy and it was doable. Don't get me wrong the chicken sandwiches are delicious they're BOMB BUT DO NOT GET THE REAPER. I ordered the # 2 which was the 2 slider meal. I couldn't even finish the other slider I had to throw it away because the spice was too unbearable and it ruined the whole meal for me. Again yes this is just my opinion and yes if you like eating Lava on the daily this may not be a problem for you but it totally fucked me up lol I'm not even joking. next time I'm just sticking to the spicy so I can actually eat and enjoy the meal lol You've been warned ! read more

Awful service! Took 25 minutes to get an order in the drive thru with 2 cars ahead of us. Lady working the drive thru was yelling at a customer thru the speaker. Food was so so and very overpriced! Even ranch is extra. Never again read more

The side eye i was given because I wanted To scan my code for points was baffling l and I received my food with no utensils or napkins any ways kindness goes a long way read more

So this was my first time at Dave's, and apparently I wandered into a luxury boutique that sells chicken tenders. I ordered the #3 meal--sandwich, a tender, some fries, and an emotional experience. Price? $14. No drink. No combo discount. No table-side violinist. Just straight-up fried poultry with attitude. Now, the young lady at the counter? A+ customer service. Super friendly, made me feel welcome even as I mentally calculated if I'd have enough gas money to get home. When the food hit the table, I'll admit--it helped close the price gap. * Chicken? Hot, juicy, crunchy perfection. * Fries? Crispy, salty, borderline addictive. * Sauce? Like spicy mayo was sent from heaven in a squeeze bottle. But real talk: the salt. After three bites, I started hearing ocean waves. By the end, I was holding onto the counter like a sailor in a storm. Tasty? Absolutely. But my blood pressure called me by my full name. Bottom line: If you're looking for cheap eats, this ain't it. If you're looking for fire chicken that slaps your taste buds and wallet at the same time? You found the place. Great food. Great staff. Great experience--just bring a full wallet and maybe a banana for potassium. read more

Dave's hits the spot every single time. I usually get the medium spicy chicken tenders, and the Mac and cheese is my favorite side to get. The customer service has always been friendly when I've gone. Sometimes there can be long wait times but it hasn't been a problem for me, as the employees are always kind enough to give me a drink or a water while I wait. read more

Visited while passing thru Hemet. Dave's shares a parking lot with Walmart and Starbucks. Plenty of parking and easy access. Walked in and was greeted by the team behind the counter. A few customers were seated throughout the dining area. Not overly busy for a Friday afternoon during a holiday week but can imagine they get busy evenings and weekends. Ordered a #3 combo which came with a slider, tender and fries. Added an extra tender to the order. They offer kale slaw and pickles as extras at no additional charge. Gladly took them and they added a nice crunch to the slider. Tenders come on a slice of white bread. Sliders are served on a soft bun with sauce drizzle and the requested slaw and pickles. Enjoyed a bite from the tender first. Was piping hot and decent flavor. I had ordered mild and lacked the expected heat from the 7 various heat options. Bit into the slider and annoyed the flavor of the chicken, softness of the bun and crunch of the slaw. The pickle added another crunch and flavor to the bite. Service was very personable from the various team members who assisted. Would stop again if visiting the area or passing thru. Convenient stop for late night adventures as they're open late! Keep on Yelp'n! read more

Upon arrival the front area was empty with no employees, no greetings. We used the kiosk to order but one of them wasn't working so we waited for the working kiosk to open up. When I finally saw en employee I asked for our drink cups, again she didn't greet us or even acknowledge us, just handed us the cups and walked off. The food was ok. No much slaw on the sandwich, mild level heat is very very low heat. Overall an underwhelming experience. Raising Canes in town has much better service, too bad they don't have a spicy option. read more

At the window of the speaker I specified I want the chicken to be fresh and had to wait 15 minutes in drive thru for my order to only get dry old chicken that was black around the edges. I had drove out of town after I picked up my order and once I lunch I saw that the chicken was old and dry even thought I specifically asked at the speaker and at the window. When I called and complained one of the male managers answered the phone and told me to come back later and tell them that you spoke to a manager and they can remake my order. When I came back on 9/17/206 at 5:00 pm Victoria refused to remake my order without a verification code when the manager I spoke to on the phone never followed up with my complaint to his employees. He had asked for my receipts check number and told me everything would be settled when I come back. I am very furious at this locations food and customer service. It is very poor this isn't first that this problem has occurred this year read more

Food is pretty good here. and yes the reaper will melt your face off so be careful! The staff service is hit and miss as this place has only been open for less than a year. The drive-through seems to take forever so be sure to try and cut the line by walking in. The parking lot can get busy so be careful navigating through the lot as Starbucks traffic is crazy not to mention the local high school kids running around after school lets out. again, the food is good. the decor is cool to see. read more

Let me tell you, I came for Dave but stayed for his hot chicken. I was checked on by Katie, a manager while eating my meal. Bathrooms were clean and tables were wiped. read more

Great spot had the sliders and wife had the loaded fries it was delicious will b going again

Let me tell you... Dave's Hot Chicken did NOT come to play today! I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and BABY, that thing came out crispy, juicy, and seasoned like somebody's auntie was back there blessing it by hand. The heat? Perfect. Not the kind that ruins your day, but the kind that taps you on the shoulder like, "Hey girl, I'm here." The sandwich was huge, the pickles were actually crunchy (because some places be lying), and the sauce?? A whole experience by itself. I took one bite and immediately knew I was finishing the whole thing with zero regrets. Service was fast, food was fresh, and the flavor was on point. If you're thinking about trying it -- do it. Just don't wear lip gloss because that sandwich is going to humble it REAL quick. Let me tell you... Dave's Hot Chicken did NOT come to play today!

4 based on what we tried so far. Probably bump up to a 5 once we try everything. Honestly I'm mad we didn't try it sooner. It's really good. The chickens texture is great and the flavors are all unique. The spicy barbecue doesn't have that barbecue taste but the barbecue boldness with the heat. The hot honey was my favorite. It's not super spicy but has just a little kick which I like, cause I'm not a super spicy person. The buffalo is really tasty and I don't like buffalo, my 4 year old son was devouring them lol. Overall, I think this place deserves a lot more love than it's getting. The 18 piece flight was perfect for myself, my husband and my sonFor the 17.99 it costs. The wait is longer but honestly this place is worth it compared to other crap places that are quicker. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/Mac & Cheese - Chicken Shop Near Me - Hemet, California

Four cars in the drive-through equals 35 minutes apparently. No Dr Pepper, no slushers, available. The menu is tiny. Should be easy to keep stock of your product. Love the food, but can't wait that long. read more

The food was fine but the wait was horrid, took 40 minutes to get our food and we only ordered 2 combos, not sure what the deal was last night but I highly doubt if we will go back. Service was fine, new girl on the register was cool. Sorry Dave, I just don't have time to wait 40 mins for mediocre chicken sandwiches and tenders. read more

Now that I haven't seen Misael, the service has been awful. All the new workers are super stingy, and the food takes ages to come out. Even worse, when I order take out, the fries are always soggy! Other than that the vibes are cool, and the bathrooms are extremely clean. read more

Feel like sitting in your car for 28 minutes to get two chicken tenders? This is your place. The food is good, but the wait times are wild. I don't recommend you come here if you're in a hurry. read more

It was so good!I got lite mild and it was delicious,though,I'm not a big fan of of the Dave's sauce and the ranch,i still love it!The lady at the cashier was really nice!I got my dog a non spicey tender and she loved it! read more

First time at Dave's, the people were all so nice and helpful. Chantel especially helped with great suggestions from the menus and the amount needed to feed our crew. We also observed one of the expos taking extra care to service a youngster with his order. On top of that, getting a friendly greeting from one of the cooks from the back of the house. Stellar work here at Dave's, thanks guys read more

Dumb how a combo doesn't come with a drink. The service is great though, and the interior with the LA graffiti art is really cool. read more

The food was not bad I placed an order online I was not able to go in this time. Was a bit slower than i expected going through the drive thru instead of getting out and going inside. Loved the art on the walls on the inside that I could see and on the outside; well lit inside. read more

The location was nestled on a busy street in Hemet but fairly spacious. Went for a quick late lunch and it was fast and easy. Drive thru wasn't busy at all and the food came out quick.

My first visit here was GREAT. Even the second one was. My last few times have been not good. There is absolutely no reason to have a 30 MINUTE WAIT in the drive thru! It doesn't take that long to make chicken and fries! No apology. No discount. No consideration for customers time at all. Get it together!!!! read more

Customer service was decent. Staff was welcoming. There was a pretty lengthy line of cars on the drive-thru. Glad I placed my order over the phone prior to picking it up. The food was fresh and great portions.The chicken sliders are my favorite. Also fairly affordable considering the size of the chicken tenders. I recommend the kale slaw, super fresh and tasty. read more

Just spent 45 mins in the drive thru on my lunch just for their machines to go down supposedly and now my food is cold. Don't go here they don't give 0 f**ks read more

Probably one of the worst locations I've ever been to. I sat in the drive thru line for over 30 minutes. No one came to the window to say anything about the wait time there was little to no customers inside. The food was cold when I received it. DONT RECOMMEND COMING HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE SITTING IN YOUR CAR FOREVER. Finally when someone came to the window she was rude. Clearly doesn't know how to fill up a cup either! read more
