    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

    Small Small Top Loaded Fries

    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.

    Our family of 5 LOVE Dave's Hot Chicken. Stopped at this location on our way to Palm Desert. The food was fresh and delicious. Service was great! Very sweet girl working the front. The inside was clean and fun! Highly recommend this location.

Outside is the complete opposite. It kind of reminds me of Nevada, there were tumbleweeds, unsafe territory and although it appears uncomfortable to walk around, there were no crimes nearby. However, at night it can be extra dangerous and scary. The food ordered was the chicken kabob combo, 6 pieces of chicken, which also included jasmine and yellow rice. The sauces ordered were baba ganoush and tzatziki. Another small side was spicy potato. Luckily this was complimentary and was not bad at all. The owner and his wife greeted me and my accomplice as we sat down. Fortunately we were the only customers which meant the wait for our food was shorter than it could be. The customer service was great and I felt safe inside. A large portrait of the Declaration of Independence was shown in front of me. A statue of snoop dogg was inside and two chairs that should be in a hair saloon were in a small corner. An interesting decor that I would otherwise not be able to see in other places. The personality of the man was unique, he was friendly but comedic at times. The negative only included getting our own food at the counter and probably portion to price ratio was off. The price was 22$ and elsewhere Mediterranean food was cheaper but not a lot cheaper. The value was okay. The best part of my meal was the texture of the chicken kabob as it was dipped in a white garlic cheese sauce and a jalapeño green one. The baba ganoush was alright, the tzatziki was fresh tasting. The experience here was outstanding. The only other negative although it was not our concern, was an elderly woman came in and was crying, begging for money because she had a disease and couldn't afford to pay for the medication at a nearby Walgreens. It was scary, but she didn't interact with us, just the owner. It was about 3 minutes and she left with some change. The owner is nice, if he was the Egyptian man as he claimed. The service was good quality and the time to get our order was fairly decent although it could have been faster. It was about a 30 minute wait more or less. I would recommend this place over the house of kebab in terms of flavor, but the price over at house of Kebob has a better value price per quantity. The taste was better here in my opinion, but the Shawarma definitely wins at house of kebob. Overall solid 5/5 experience despite the minor negatives: old woman crying, walk up for food instead of served, price per quantity/value and unsafe environment.

Personally, I felt like the shawarma bread was quite dry, but the garlic sauce and hummus helped it out. The shawarma chicken was flavorful and filling! It was still very yummy the next day. I also loved how they served us warmed up pita bread after noticing ours was cooled down. I'll keep coming to support this local spot!

For a Saturday at 4:30pm, we were seated and waited on immediately. The menu was expansive and I was surprised with the amount of vegetarian options for a Chinese restaurant. Our server was helpful in suggesting various fish options and knew their wait times. Some notable dishes were the sizzling beef with black pepper, beef scallion rolls, honey walnut chicken, mapo tofu, and fried chicken. The dishes that could be improved for flavor were the vegetarian steamed dumplings, steamed whole fish, and beef chow fun. We probably ordered around 8-10 plates (all dishes came with rice) and many arrived at the same time. The prices were very reasonable for the portions and it was just enough for everyone. Since we had a birthday celebrant, they were able to put our personal cake in the fridge. Our server provided a complimentary matcha cheesecake and candle towards the end of our meal. His robot server sidekick also sang happy birthday! I did feel like they were understaffed because the lobby hostess had to find the server for me several times when I asked for our cake and the check. Overall, it's a great place for large groups and celebrations.
