    Combo #1, hot
    Karina S.

    Portion sizes at this location felt very satisfying! Got combo #1 (2 tenders with fries, sauce, and bread) with both tenders spice level Hot. I did not actually find the chicken too spicy at all, and want to try Extra Hot or maybe even Reaper next time. Plenty of seating and very clean inside, quick service, and the tenders and fries came out very crisp and fresh.

    Two pc chicken medium with fries & sauce!

    So walking in I didn't notice the kiosks to my left but the girl took my order without hesitation or resentment. So nice. You don't even know. The food was good and I tried medium spicy. Delicious! I rarely give more than 4 stars for fast food but this location was great. So I've been to one Dave's Hot Chicken locations in Oakland and my experience was not good. Chicken chunks in tons of breading. However, per the recommendations of an influencer I had to try it again and she was right!

    #Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries

    New Dave's Hot location in Livermore!! This location is beautifully renovated and I loved how colorful and bright the ambiance was. We've been fans of Dave's for quite some time, IMO it's one of the better "fast food" hot chicken sandwiches! They have a broad range of spice levels to suit anyone's tastebuds. My go-to is the #4 / 1 slider with fries since it's just the right amount of food for me. We ordered for takeout and the fries stayed surprisingly crispy! The slider was a bit underwhelming (this time, eaten as takeout). I prefer eating the sandwich with honey (when it's medium hot or more ofc) over their special sauce.

    Fried chicken is actually one of my favorite foods. However whatever seasoning they put in their chicken or even fries was wayyy too salty in my opinion. They could have used less salt in everything. Their staff, on the other hand, were all very friendly and helpful

    Never been to any Dave's Hot Chicken before, but decided to give it a try because the Livermore location just opened today. It has a bright, eclectic atmosphere and plenty of seating. The dining area is open and has concrete floors so it gets loud in here. The menu is... fried chicken tenders. You can also get fries, slaw, mac & cheese, shakes, and other soft drinks. If you're looking for something not fried, you're in the wrong place. They offer a cauliflower alternative to chicken, but it's vegetarian, not vegan.

    Absolutely love it. The service, the food, the special sauce I want it all!! Will be back soon

    Slushy options 6/2025

    Pretty cool decor inside. Tried the Top-loaded fries with fried chicken but only 3 little pieces of fried chicken on it with coleslaw and pickles. Cheese fries are good. They have 4 slushy options and unique shakes. Customer Service is good!

I have tried Demitris multiple times in the last year and without fail, one or more of the items we ordered does not come, both when in restaurant and delivery. The final nail was when we had a reservation recently that was confirmed by email and also by phone with them, and when we arrived we were first told that the reservation did not exist and after we showed our reservation confirmation, they told us that they were full so they wouldn't accept the reservation. When we have gotten our food there has also been other issues such as portion sizes very small or not prepared correctly.

The main dishes all came with a side of basmati or seasoned rice. The seasoned rice was very salty. Service was pretty much nonexistent.

Flavor was all over the place -- a couple pieces had no salt at all, while others were way too salty. And the spicyness wasnt(aka chilli flakes) in the potato mixture wasnt spread well either. I got the triple kabob plate and the rice portion was surprisingly small compared to other Afghan spots. Chicken kabobs were inconsistent: some pieces were super salty, others were fine. The beef was tender, but not every bite had the same flavor. Chicken was tender though, cut well. Could have been flavored a bit more Plates overall felt smaller than what I'm used to at similar restaurants. Also worth mentioning -- they serve alcohol here, so if you're strict about halal, that might be a consideration. Since a place selling wine- not sure how strict they are on sourcing halal meat (hand slaughter for example). Also very pricey location compared to others maybe since they serve wine they catering to folks that drink who may spend more without caring All in all, not terrible, but definitely inconsistent and portion sizes could be better. Worth mentioning that all these de afghanans are not same - they have diff owners etc. Not bad seating, was empty for a sunday lunch at noon .

I wish they had a self ordering system because the girl that took my order messed it up, both mines and my friends order afterwards. Possibly due to the music level or just overheard something different. The quality of the burger was NEXT LEVEL. Easily one of the best burgers I've had, top 10? Top two for sure in the east bay. The garlic fries were seasoned with heavy parmasan and garlic, very satisfying. They also have local brewed Beer on tap.

Juicy, flavorful, and cooked right at that perfect medium where it still had a nice tenderness without feeling underdone. The ingredients tasted fresh, and everything came together really well without being overly greasy. The russet fries were a solid side. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Nothing overly fancy, but they did the job and paired well with the burger. Portion sizes were satisfying and left me full without feeling overly heavy. Service was friendly and the food came out at a reasonable pace, which made the overall experience easy and enjoyable. The spot has a laid-back vibe that works well whether you're grabbing a quick bite or just hanging out. Overall, Great burger, solid fries, and a place I'd come back to when I'm in the area.

The wait on a Friday night was a bit longer than expected than what was shown when we first joined the waitlist. Service here is fast though! We did get seated by the kitchen, so it was a bit hectic with staff constantly rushing behind us. We got the premium set and the meat quality was great. The vegetable platter that came with the set had a nice variety of fresh veggies. We ordered udon noodles but what we got was broken up pieces of frozen noodles that looked only to be half a serving. Other than that we still enjoyed our meal and were both stuffed. Personally I'd choose the Emeryville location over this one just because it's bigger and you're not sharing a table with other guests as much.
