    Good flavor, and lots of level to the spiciness. Easy to order, but takes a while to come out (I guess it's fresh). Staff is courteous especially the manager who I've seen on a couple of occasions and he's always chipper. Intimate space if you eat in with nice art that makes the place lively.

    Cauli slider (hot)

    We have lived in the area for a little over a year and somehow I had not made it to Daves Hot Chicken until now. I am a big fan of Nashville style hot chicken with Hattie Bs and World Famous Hot Boys being my favorites when I am craving spicy chicken, so I was excited to finally give this spot a try. I was not in the mood for chicken that day so I went with the cauliflower slider combo number four at the hot spice level. I actually wanted extra hot but for some reason it was not an option on the app. I have a pretty high heat tolerance so I was curious to see how it stacked up. The cauliflower slider surprised me. It was super light, nicely battered, and not greasy at all. Honestly I would order it again because it did not leave me feeling heavy afterwards. The crinkle cut fries were also better than expected. Normally crinkle fries remind me of soggy cafeteria food but these had a nice crisp to them. The only downside was the seasoning. It tasted good but there was so much of it that the fries ended up a bit too salty to finish. The dipping sauce was solid too, kind of like a sweeter Thousand Island, and it paired well with everything. Overall I would come back for sure and next time I will go for the chicken, hopefully at extra hot. My only gripe is that the cauliflower costs more than chicken which feels odd since cauliflower is usually cheap at the store.

    First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and overall it was fine but didn't wow me. Service was good and friendly, they even asked if I needed extra sauce when I picked up my order, which was nice. The sauce is almost like In N Outs spread and comes in similar packets. My partner got the cauliflower combo with fries and loved it. The app was acting weird tho, we picked extra hot but in the cart it only showed hot. We troubleshooted but no luck. He was still happy with the spice level it came with. I got the new mini sliders and honestly wouldn't order again. The bun to chicken ratio felt off cause the bread was kinda thick. I ended up eating the other half of the sliders chicken only like nuggets. The biggest issue tho was the spice. I ordered medium and it tasted like nothing, not even mild. Tried a bite of my partner's hot and that one actually had a really good kick, but mine was bland considering it was first level down from my partner, and it tasted like 2-3 levels down. The chicken was juicy at least but flavor wise it was missing something, maybe salt or msg, plus spice...it just didn't hit. Fries are crinkle cut which I don't really like but these were ok, the seasoning it came with elevated it. The cheese side I'd skip. Thought it would be like Taco Bell nacho cheese but instead it had a weird chemical aftertaste. Overall I'd try it again since my partner really liked his meal, but my food just didn't land. Not bad, not great, just kinda meh for me. And I really wanted to love this place.

    Dave's Hot Chicken | San Leandro 1. Dave's #3 -- tender & 1 sliders with fries If you haven't heard of Dave's Hot Chicken, it's one of the few fast food spots that specialize in Nashville-style hot chicken. If I remember correctly, they originated in Los Angeles, California, and have expanded ever since. The best way to sample most of the menu is by ordering the #3, which includes a tender, a slider, and fries. The sliders come on a soft potato bun, topped with kale slaw, pickles, and drizzled with Dave's sauce. You also get to choose your spice level, ranging from no spice to extra hot. For the price point and how fast the food came out, I'd say it was solid overall. I'm a firm believer that good Nashville hot chicken is hard to come by.

    I would give this a 3-1/2 Star. The Manager and Cashier were very friendly. This is our first time trying this chicken place after a round a golf nearby. Nice clean atmosphere with a couple of eat in tables. The Cashier was describing the sliders with fries to us. He said there are 4 sliders and they were about 2 bites each. We decided to give it a try anyway. He was right on... did not expect it to be that small but we were warned. Asked for crispy fries and can't complain because he described the sliders to the tee! Got lots of pickles and overall the chicken sliders were tasty; we ordered medium spice. The fries came out crispy as requested. The picture of the regular size chicken sandwich is to show it's probably a better meal size that you can split 1/2 with another person and you would get more than the mini sliders. We were okay with the small bites because we were warned! Overall the restaurant is a good place to get a quick bite with great service and clean atmosphere.

    I was wondering what the hype was about, and I finally got an opportunity to try this. It's a pretty decent chicken sandwich, but nothing too crazy.

    With the first bite, I immediately think this the best fried chicken tenders in the world! I wasn't a big fan of fried chicken until I tried Dave's Chicken sliders. And not just their crispy outside, juicy and tender inside chicken tenders, their potato buns, kale slaw, and the taste of those pickles, all were so so so good. Can't wait to go back for more.

    The manager and cashier were extremely friendly and welcoming. They greeted hs when we came in and were soeedy with the food. We got a few sliders and fries. Everything was crispy and fresh. As we were leaving, they also gave us a friendly salutation and surely know how to have a high energy environment.

    First time at this location and it was better than I expected! I came here on a Saturday to order takeout for dinner. I ordered the #4 in medium spice. and it came out within 5 minutes. Customer service was nice and asked if I wanted ketchup and honey (some places don't offer anything unless you ask). There are couple of tables and chairs if you wanted to eat there. The place was pretty clean too. The slider was smaller than I thought haha but no worries, the food was just enough to make me full. The pickles and fries were delicious. Next time, I'll get the hot spice and probably will get a tender too to try. Location is street parking or you can park in the parking lot (near Safeway, Fieldwork Brewery etc). Dave's Hot Chicken is connected to Fieldwork Brewery and is across from Chipotle. I would come back here again if I'm ever craving Dave's Hot Chicken.

    Chicken tender really fresh really hot but not burn your tongue hot. The skin is almost as crispy as a chip. Seasoning as usual amazing seasoning, completely lathered in flavor. Moist juicy interior as usual too. Some good tender. I learned my mistake from last time and ordered medium spice. Medium spice still has a lot of flavor. Chicken slider, just as juicy and tender as the tender. Very reminiscent of chik fil a sandwiches but with more seasoning. When ordering, they will ask if u want cheese, its meant for the sliders. You can replace fries with cheesy fries but they dont ask about that. Fries, nice and hot, subtle crispiness, subtle flavor Daves sauce, like a creamier smoother thousand island. Also not much sauce in each packet. Guy gave me 2 packets Extra Chill cashier and music They ask if u want sauce when you get your order Comfy long chairs with cushions, nice tables. No self order but very easy simple menu to order from Nice interior as always, small cups, A few parties at a time, currently 3 parties, dine in, other people be ordering takeout. Still lots of seats to take tho at 1:14pm on tuesday Reporting at 1:21, suddenly lots of people ordering, like idek how many parties Next to the drink dispensers, utensils, napkins etc are self serve. Delicious flavorful fresh juicy food, what more could u ask for? 5/5

    I LOVE this place! Dave's Hot Chicken never disappoints, the food is always fresh, hot, and packed with flavor! The service is on point every time.. super friendly and fast. I recently tried the new Mini Slider Box with fries and let me tell you... my brother ate that dowwnnn. It's the perfect portion and still hits just like the regular sliders. Big love to the San Leandro location, you all keep it consistent and I'll keep coming back!

    I tried Dave's before and it was too spicy for me. I did not enjoy it. But then I tried the medium heat #3 combo, I really enjoyed it. The tenderness and crispness, really good. Customer service was perfect. She was friendly. Cool graffiti design inside.

    Foods not great, but the real issue is the parking meters outside throughout the entire lot. Why…read moreare these here? Is it private property and these tickets are just empty threats? With most lots like this you can't be compelled to pay the tickets - only when the city issues tickets are they enforceable. The plaza is privately owned, and everything is leased out. So does San Leandro own it? Does the plaza owner think these meters are good for our city? I think the plaza owner will be happy to know that I am on the case and I've never lost a war in my life. I lose fights often, strategically, but never the grand scheme battles. Issues that affect my fellow citizens (like this) are a marathon, and I sprint through them. I promise these meters will be removed. If they refuse, I will demand an appropriate sacrifice from the plaza ownership. If the city somehow owns this plaza and installed these meters - Is San Leandro in need of our quarters that badly, and if so, why don't these even accept quarters? Only allowing electronic pay is certainly a decision. They probably expect us all to be robots in a few years and want to get their infrastructure ready to squeeze the oil out of us when that day comes. I used to get tickets in parking lots in Walnut Creek and would just tear them up. It never came back to haunt me. If I kept parking in those same lots I suppose they could eventually tow the car but I wouldn't give them the opportunity. I still like lowkey small businesses like this one, no frills or decorations, just show up for food. As far as sandwiches go I don't think this is my preference but they come across as very nice and consistent. Other people like this place, it seems. I don't like cold stack sandwiches unless some attention goes into the accents so I'm not the target audience here. The lady at the front was very friendly but this isn't really a sit down service place, they just give you the food.

The atmosphere was so inviting. Warm and calm, whether you were seated inside or out, you felt comfortable. There was nothing on the menus I would not recommend and the portions are not skimpy. I recommend you order different items so you can share and sample many of the items on the menu. Given the economic climate, the prices are reasonable. I enjoyed my dining experience so much, my husband and I went there 3 days later and was not disappointed and he is somewhat selective. Those I have recommended this restaurant to, have enjoyed their experience also. I highly recommend you try it out and put it on your list of regular favorites. Bon appetite!

    We've been to SOLA so many times for brunch, happy hour and get togethers. Staff is always…read moreattentive and friendly. Only complaint is that bar orders come out slow even when they have multiple bartenders. We've probably tried everything on their menu. Our favorites: Chicken wings - 10 wings for only $16 Mac & cheese is always a good shareable Buttermilk Fried Chicken sandwich is very flavorful Poutine with brisket - mix it up so you get the sauce on the bottom Brisket nachos - flavorful and a good portion for sharing
