    Daves Dave's NOT Chicken Mini Sliders (Cauli)
    Aimee C.

    Very grateful to my local Dave's for being open so late but most of all for the many offerings they have available to a non chicken eater like myself. The Dave's Not Chicken (cauliflower) is delicious. You can get it as a tender, slider, mini slider, loaded fries you name it. It's delicious each time with an adjustable spice level. Haven't gotten to interact with many employees because I usually order on the self serve kiosk which is also a nice option. It has a unique ambiance and bonus points for playing some good music in there!

    I appreciate that they offer the cauliflower as an option! They took it off the menu for a while. The staff was very nice! The place has high foot traffic so always seems a bit on the dirty side and their bathroom was broken and being fixed when I was there. (Nothing like eating while the bathroom door is open and they are snaking the toilet... The food is very heavy, high in calories and overall hard to justify eating. The prices are also very expensive. It's not a place I will frequent often but if you need that fried food experience it's worth a consideration.

    Side of fries :(

    So chicken is flavorful definitely good. Just what happen to the portions :( I remember they would hook it up with fries now its blah and it taste basic some fries aren't cooked fully or bland.

    Dave's is a pretty good option for a late night meal, seeing as it's open until 2:30 AM. It's usually pretty busy inside, but there weren't too many people dining in when I visited. Ordering is easy and can be done either at the register or at a kiosk. Staff is pretty friendly as well and I didn't encounter any major issues. For food, I had the Dave's Not Chicken Cauliflower slider and I really enjoyed it, honestly more than I've enjoyed their chicken before. The fries were just okay, I felt they were kind of cold for a dine-in order, but the chicken was still good and pretty juicy.

    No sauce,no ketchup, no honey, AND can't even change the soda when it runs out? Plus my tenders were peak cold. Hmm I'm good. Seriously lazy overall. Overrated :(

    We've dined in and done takeout here a few times now, and it's always been consistently good. The chicken is flavorful, portions are generous, and the prices are great for what you get. They're also always adding new items, which keeps it interesting. Today I tried the loaded fries (small), and it was the perfect size for me--so delicious and satisfying. It was also my first time trying the mac and cheese, and it was super saucy and really good. My husband got his usual 2-tender plate, which is always a hit. Overall, a solid spot for casual, tasty comfort food. We'll definitely keep coming back. Also, open late, on delivery platforms and has parking lot for dining in /take out.

    Was in the mood for chicken strips so I stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken in Northridge. I ordered a two tender combo. The combo however, did not include a drink FYI. That's fine, I just ended up ordering a small drink. First impressions: I was impressed by the size of the tenders- they were huge! They were perfectly seasoned and the chicken was fresh. You can tell it had just been prepared and it wasn't sitting out long like other food places tend to do. The fries were fine, they were super fried. I tend to prefer mine not as crispy but they were still really good, especially with the "Dave's sauce" that comes with it. I was ecstatic to see how generous they are with the side of pickles, perfect addition to an already delicious meal. Service was excellent, they were very friendly and attentive which I truly appreciate because these days all we get are Gen Z stares when we ask questions (lol, kidding, but not really). Overall, I will definitely stop by again. The chicken was delicious!

    I've been to several hot chicken places in the valley and this place is just as good as the rest. What I appreciate, as someone who isn't the best with spicy food, is they have more levels of spice than usual. Light mild is def the way to go. Got the two tenders meal with fries, came with two slices of bread and two pickles. Chicken was well seasoned, fries were delicious. Price was what you expect. Location itself is on the busy reseda street but ample parking in the back. Good amount of seating inside and outside.

    Very clean facility

    Love it! Always crispy and spice on point. Quick and easy, service with a smile. Dining hall and restrooms are clean.

    The foood was very good, service was super great , employees super nice. As well as the atmosphere with everyone and enjoying the meal was good

    Single chicken slider with fries (unseasoned). I ate some fries before I took the picture.  There were more fries.

    This was my first time ever trying Dave's Hot Chicken. First let me say that the customer service was outstanding! Jasmine took my order & she was so nice and had a smile on her face. She genuinely seems to enjoy her job which says a lot these days. I took my order to go. I ordered the #4 which is one chicken slider with fries (mild and I requested no seasoning on the fries). The fries were really good and the portion was plentiful. The chicken was very tender. I was hoping for more slaw on the sandwich. There were only a couple pieces of slaw and a bunch of pickles. The sauce was good. Next time I'll up the spice level a bit. Prices are very reasonable for what you receive. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Casual dining. No drive thru which is a bit disappointing.

    Inedible hard pieces of chicken and the edible parts were not good.

    What happened Dave? Your chicken was delicious when you first opened. Taken my family here many times and consistently getting worse! Took the food home after work and mostly inedible, threw it out. The chicken was stale, dry and hard! Even the kids don't like it anymore. Loved the vanilla milkshake as usual: everything else not so much!

    Dave's is a very popular place with a very long line for a Monday night but the lines went fairly quick. There are also a lot of delivery drivers picking up. The staff is very friendly. Plenty of outside seating that is kept clean and the chairs are comfortable. Parking lot is a medium size but there is plenty of street parking.
