Next time I will eat inside the store after ordering to go. This is my first time trying anything from Dave's Hot Chicken -- after seeing it expands quickly around SoCal. The vibe is clean, unique theme - wild and modern. You have good solid seat and tables, restrooms, and even two order kiosks. My orders are Dave's #4 slider with fries and mild spiciness plus Mac'n cheese. I would said both met my standards - both are flavorful enough but not overly salty like their competitors. Mac n cheese is also tasty without too much salt. Overall, food quality is solid and taste is perfect for the price. Fried chicken is flavorful and juicy. Ingredients are fresh. Will be back to try or dine in next time. read more

On our way home from work and school, I wanted to grab some drinks from Chagee Modern Teahouse in Ontario. We didn't realize Dave's Hot Chicken is literally two doors down. My eldest daughter was a bit hungry. We've been to Dave's once in the past. Thought we give them another try. We went thru drive-thru just like last time. Line was pretty short. Staff was pleasant and cordial. Ordering was easy and simple. Payment by credit card was fast. Food came out timely. We were on our way in a jiffy. Menu has a good variety made of Tenders, Spicy Buffalo Mac & Cheese, Hot Mozz, Dave's Bites, or Mini Sliders plus crinkle-cut fries and fun drinks. We opted for Dave's #1 that comes with 2 chicken tenders and fries plus 1 sliced bread, pickles, and a side of Dave's sauce. WOW, good size juicy and moist tenders! Quite tasty and delicious. Mild spice barely had a slight kick at the end of the bite. Medium spice may be our next try. I have never been a crinkle-cut fries kind of gal, but I will have to become one after eating Dave's amazing crinkle-cut fries. Another WOW, fries were crispy and crunchy on the outside and just delish on the inside! Love the bold blend of seasonings on the tenders and fries! Crunchy and firm pickles were good, too. Thanks Dave's for staying true to your dream in making juicy, spicy, hot chicken that blows our mind. Indeed it did! Honestly, I'm surprised we haven't eaten here more often. We'll dine-in next time to experience Dave's Hot Chicken to the fullest. Highly recommend for anyone who love chicken (spicy or not) and fries! read more

Stopped by for a late night dinner and the restaurant was pretty busy. Staff was friendly and food was out in a decent amount of time. Out of the items I tried, I surprisingly enjoyed the hot mozz the most - super cheesy. The tenders or chicken sandwich weren't bad, but definitely weren't spicy. The popcorn chicken was a no no - super tiny bites of chicken that lacked seasoning. When I'm craving hit chicken, not sure I'll head back to Dave's as my first choice. read more

Great service not too crowded inside during the week. Drive thru had more of a steady flow of customers. Patio seating area with a few tables and chairs next to the drive thru line. Inside is a cool vibrant vibe with space for large groups. Clean and organized with self serve drink station. Service was welcoming and friendly. Helpful with first time visit. Pickles were plentiful and gave that nice acidity to balance out that crispy, spicy, juicy chicken. Their house sauces are great on everything. Wish the fries were fresh and hot like the chicken but still a crisp bite. The Mac and cheese has a nice Cajun and faint hint of curry flavor. I enjoyed my first bites at Dave's hot chicken. read more

Gustavo was the absolute best worker here at this prestigious establishment. I was a little tipsy but he handled the situation with the upmost care and professionalism. Made sure every order I uttered was on point. We need more Gustavo's in life period... Dave's is the best. Night time life is better because of it. read more

Back again for the Dave's #3 extra hit also added cheese to the slider. Then I ordered Dave's hot mozzarella to bring in some cheesiness. Also added mac n cheese to complete the cycle of the big back combo. The service is always excellent and the customer service is on point. The incidents very clean and smells good. Give me appetite immediately. read more

I had never heard of this place, but I found out about their free slider day and decided to go check it out. It was a bit slow for a fast food restaurant, but that was possibly due to a few more customers like me on the free day? Anyway, the burger was very good! I was especially impressed at the large size of it, as the word "slider" usually means a mini burger, but this seemed pretty close to standard size to me! Texture, temperature, and taste were all great. However, normal price is $7, which is a bit much for "fast food," but I suppose that's how things are getting now. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #2 : 2 Sliders w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Ontario, California

Love everything on the menu specially the sliders! Always keep coming back. Definitely recommended

I'm gonna be very honest, that review of how long it takes the food to come out even when the inside is dead and the drive thru has a few cars is very true. I love the food, but even with the front cashier being very sweet and nice, the output of orders is way too long. Mind you, i saw their POS that shows status of food orders and mine is the only one on there. I thought going inside would be faster but clearly it wasn't. I waited over 35 mins for 1 Slider w/Fries. I went and asked the front desk and they said "sorry, the kitchen didn't see it on their side" so if I never had asked after 30mins I would've never seen my order. It came out in less than 2 minutes right after. read more

I love this place; the food was fantastic! Gustavo was so attentive! This location is very clean. I definitely recommend it.

Great service and food. This was our first time visit and the team made it a great experience. Very friendly and welcoming

Tonight was my first time here. I have to say the vibe inside was very laid back and welcoming. A little crowded ( which says a lot about the food) wish it was a little more spacious however. The service made up for it, and specifically by one worker. Gustavo was outstanding! His mannerism and professionalism was above par, I was ready to leave and ordered a fry to go. Just so I didn't wait he personally went it the back and packed it up for me. True respectful and great worker. Takes pride in his work. I like that, especially in this world now. Not sure who will read this but he deserves a raise and employee of the month. I will be back just because of the wonderful service. read more

Very friendly! Great customer service! I always get the number 4 meal. They have the best pickles too! And they open late night !

I had gone to another location before, but I didn't realize there was one semi close by where I live until I looked it up, my son was craving their hot chicken sandwich! The drive-thru line was packed, so I decided to head inside. It was busy there too, but thankfully the wait to order at the kiosk was short. My older son loves spicy food, so I got him a hot chicken sandwich combo, while my little one prefers mild flavors, so I ordered him a regular chicken sandwich without the spice. Despite the crowd, the service was friendly and the inside was clean. I also really loved the decor, it adds a fun vibe to the experience. And the best part? The chicken is halal! Overall, it was a great visit and we'll definitely be back. read more

I had gone through the drive thru because I'm sick and didn't want to get out. I paid an up charge for cheese fries with my Dave bites and didn't get cheese. I went back a second time and still didn't get cheese. The third time I finally got the cheese fries at the cost of wasting 35 mins when I shouldn't have had to. Definitely going to a BETTER location next time. read more

**THE WORST PLACE TO EAT** DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! THIS IS WHY, I went for lunch at 1:45pm on Friday, May 16, 2025, and it took forever to get my order, and the chicken WAS BURNED!!! EVERYTHING TASTES AWFUL AND IS BURNED OUTSIDE AND UNDERCOOKED ON THE INSIDE!! I cannot believe how they sell this type of chicken to customers! Checking was undercooked, as shown in the image, and people could become SICK: Eating undercooked chicken can cause food poisoning, resulting in symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and fever. Avoid eating it!!! It is not safe to eat chicken here. "The chicken looked and tasted old!!!!" TO THE MANAGER: Please review your cooking method and cook your chicken; it is burned on the outside but uncooked on the inside. Where is the quality control for the food, and who runs that establishment that allows this to happen? I'd love to hear from you about this. read more

If you stop here make sure you have 30+ minutes to wait for your food . Been here multiple times through the drive through and inside the store and this location ALWAYS takes forever . Food is alright but not worth the wait . read more

I come to this location from time to time. Today was very frustrating. We waited 45 minutes for our food. He asked the front and the lady said it was next. People kept getting their food and we didn't get ours yet. She ended up asking the back for an update. They must of lost our ticket order. Super frustrating waiting this long for fast food. People around us were also complaining that napkins were not restocked and the trash was full. read more

Savannah was very helpful with me being a first time guest. Helping me find what I would like and would be the best for my taste buds. Yummy food read more

As usual, the taste is on point. The chicken is always fresh, crispy, and packed with flavor. Spice levels are well balanced, whether you go mild or extra hot. The sliders and tenders are consistently good, and the sides complement the meal well. Big plus that it's halal, which makes it an easy go to. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion size, so you feel like you're getting your money's worth. read more

Awesome options great Gustavo was very helpful with the selections. Awesome ambience.

I went through drive thru yesterday around 6:00 pm and was very disappointed with the service. At first everything seemed to be going well , mid way through my order the girl at the speaker kept asking me to repeat myself. She seemed very distracted while I was ordering. I had just got out of work and was trying to grab a quick bite. However I didn't think it would take me about 5 minutes to order 2 meals and a drink. I have been here several times to know what I want to order. When I got to the window the girl had a bit of an attitude and seemed distracted once again. She seemed confused when I told her the spice level she had down was incorrect. It is very unfortunate to say I will not be returning back. She gave me her name at the beginning of her order, her name started with an M. Maybe maya or something like that. I cant seem to remember fully. read more

Took the family out to try a new place that I haven't been to And. It looks inviting. It looks kind of cool but probably won't go there again. We got sick off the food. Don't think it was handled right or cooked long enough. I got some of my chicken hot. It was pretty hot spicy wise probably not enough french fries or given out for the price. It's a one and done for us I think I prefer other places that serve chicken. read more

Great service from Brianna in the drive thru tonight. Food was ready quickly and delicious

My second time and it is still not good. I had went 3 years ago and I never went back because the food was awful and not hot. So, I tried again because my niece liked it and no change.... read more
