    Slimy chicken 10pc. Dave's Bites

    Went in to buy my baby some of there little nugget bites and when I got them they where slimy like if someone spit on them not saying anyone did but I didn't feel comfortable feeding my son the nugget so I went in asking for a refund and she said there supposed to be soft but I'm like I get there soft but there slimy and she kept arguing with me saying it's supposed to be like that even though I have never gotten chicken bites like that before had to send my hubby In ended up finally getting the refund

    I always see a line at Dave's Hot Chicken and finally decided to try it to see what the hype was about. Honestly, I was pretty disappointed. I got the small top-loaded fries and it only came with three pieces of chicken, plus the fries were cold. The flavor was fine but nothing special. I also tried the mac and cheese, and it just tasted like boxed mac to me. Maybe it's just this location, but I wish there was a 1.5-star option--doesn't quite deserve one star, but definitely not two. To make it worse, my order took forever and there weren't even that many people there. Oh well, at least I tried it.

    I visited Dave's Hot Chicken in Highland, CA tonight and placed my order at 9:46 PM with Dayana. From the start, I felt rushed at the register even though there was no one behind me. About one to one-and-a-half minutes after placing my order, I went back to the counter to ask if I could cancel the chicken strip and switch to the 10-bite meal. Dayana seemed confused and said the order couldn't be changed because they had already started it. This was around 9:49 PM. What was frustrating is that my order wasn't actually called until 10:05 PM, nearly 20 minutes after I initially ordered. Given that amount of time, it didn't make sense to me why such a small adjustment couldn't be made so soon after payment. It felt less like a system limitation and more like an unwillingness to make the change. When I got home around 10:10 PM, I realized the food wasn't hot; just warm. After waiting 20 minutes, I expected the food to be fresh and hot. I also noticed Dayana sweeping the main area while waiting, which made me wonder if my food had been sitting out before being handed to me. I'm disappointed overall. I hope this can be taken as a coaching opportunity; sometimes making a quick adjustment can go a long way in improving the customer experience

    Had Dave's hit chicken for the first time and it was delicious. The chicken pieces are thick and juicy even though they're fried. The pickles and sauce just add to the overall flavor. Definitely returning!

    Great food, they keep up Dave's Quality. Natalie at the register was so kind. The place was tidy and clean!

    Decent location. Nothing special. I love the location though. Next closet one was in a very industrial center of SB so this location is prime & close to Redland's mountain grove & citrus plaza so it's good. Clean & bright location & service was okay. Nothing special. & food was good. Still better than raising canes too so.

It's at Mountain Grove, which already has a fun atmosphere, but inside the restaurant it feels even more energetic. Pro tip: check their Facebook page before you go. They had a post where if you comment on it, you can get free food. They give you four different options and you can redeem each one on separate visits. That's such a great deal. My husband redeemed the large chicken sandwich (you can choose regular or large), and I went with the loaded fries, specifically the buffalo fries. Everything was really good. I personally liked the buffalo fries more than the sandwich, but my husband preferred the chicken sandwich, so it really comes down to taste. The portions are big too. The loaded fries could easily be shared between two or even three people, and the large sandwich is big enough to split between two people. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes. Service was quick, friendly, and fun. They even told us we could come back three more times to redeem the other free items, which they didn't have to do, and that definitely went a long way. Five stars all around. Definitely worth stopping by if you're at Mountain Grove.

    We decided to head over to Dave's Hot Chicken for our typical Friday night dine out for the family…read more I didn't want to place my order online because I was driving over from Riverside and wanted to make sure I would have my food hot when I took it home. The restaurant was very busy, as would be usual for a Friday evening. We placed our order at the counter with the sweetest young woman behind the counter. SHe was patient and explained all the different options to us. It appeared there was only one other person working in the back. Needless to say, orders were deep. There was a man (we assumed he was a food delivery driver), who was visibly upset at the staff because part of his order wasn't ready. He was getting loud with the sweet young woman behind the counter. The young man who was working in the kitchen came out to have an explaination of the situaiton to the angry man. It took a while for us to get our order. I'd say at least 30 minutes. Once we were called up, we just picked up and left. We didn't check our order before we took off. We got back home in Riverside, unloaded everything, and realized one meal was missing from the order. I decided to call the store to let them know. I spoke to Joey, who identified himself at the night manager. I told him how the young woman behind the counter never lost her cool and how busy the restaurant was. Joey apologized for the failure and offered to make it right. We worked together to come to an agreement where we would come back another day and they would replace the missing meal. We came back on the day we said we would. The young man behind the counter didn't seem to know what I was talking about even though Joey said he'd leave a detailed note. No matter, I had my receipt with me and presented it along with a short story of the situation. The young man placed an order in the kitchen for us. We had our replacement meal in about 10 minutes. Honestly people... be nice. It's not hard. Things happen. Just use the nice words you have in your vocabulary and let the restaurant attempt to make it right. We'll be back. Dave's is good stuff.
