Misael C was extremely polite and helpful with the menu. Food did not disappoint. Definitely be back next time we are in town!!

I placed a big order for pickup delivery and each order was packed accurately, even the drinks which I don't have pictured. In my opinion, the chicken is delicious. I'm not surprised as the chicken is the star of the show. The fried mozzarella was decent but not something I would order again. If you're craving spicy chicken, this is a great place to order from. read more

Food was great but the moment I went to go ask for Dave's sauce the guy with the goatee was visibly upset asking if there was one in my bag already . And was saying that I can only give you one ! Idk why he was so mad about it .seem like he was fat shaming me cuz I wanted extra sauce . I would've paid extra for it to not to give me attitude about it . Rude guy it's just sauce at the end of the day read more

A good meal when you're looking for something with a kick. - The single slider with fries make a good lunch, and it's the most affordable option. - I've noticed that this location, and all other locations I've tried, receiving your order takes forever. Doesn't matter if it's empty or busy. - A great option for catering. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken is a staple chicken sandwich restaurant chain available in California. I've never had the pleasure to eat at Dave's growing up in Hawaii, and I definitely missed out. I went late (9:00p) on a Friday night, and the store was nice, clean, with plenty of seating available. Our order was prepared quite fast! The #2 (2 Sliders + Fries) and #3 (1 Slider + 1 Tenders + Fries) are both hearty options to satisfy any hungry adult. I would even say getting 2 sliders might be more worth it, as you can eat one and save the second for another meal later on. The sauce it comes with reminds me of the Chick-fil-A sauce; I added some to my sandwich and also my fries. Overall, super delicious fried chicken sandwiches and definitely a fast food joint I will return to. read more

I enjoy the food and I think it's a decent price. What I don't like is that I call ahead and they tell me a time frame and when I get there and that exact timeframe, the food is still not ready to go. I understand they want it to be super fresh, but I called ahead so that I didn't have to wait and I end up waiting every single time. I hope they fix that. read more

I would like to begin by noting that I am a frequent customer of Dave's Hot Chicken and have had positive experiences at many of their locations. Unfortunately this particular visit was the most disappointing I have encountered. Upon arrival there was no staff member at the front counter and it took several minutes before the cashier assisted me. After placing my order I waited approximately 15 minutes for my food. Notably my order was brought out at the same time as another customer's order even though they arrived 5-10 minutes after I did. When I received my meal I requested an additional serving of Dave's sauce and was informed there would be an extra charge. This was unexpected as I have not been charged for sauce at other locations and I understand this may be a new policy but never have been charged for Dave's sauce. Like can we agree one little sauce container is not enough for 2 slider meal and fries. Additionally my sandwich was prepared incorrectly and it included coleslaw despite my request for no slaw or pickles. Due to time constraints I was unable to ask for a correction. I also observed that several customers who arrived after me experienced delays because there was no staff available at the front counter. Overall this visit did not meet the standard I have come to expect and I do not plan to return to this location. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Ticket says no slaw, slider has slaw. Terrible uneven seasoning also - Chicken Shop Near Me - Temecula, California

I would 100% pick Dave's Hot Chicken over Raising Cane's. It is served hot, fresh, crispy and very delicious! Definitely great for on the GO! However, beware of the spice. I went with Medium and Hot and OMG!!! Hot was REALLY HOT! My lips were burning, I couldn't do it; BUT medium seasoning was perfect, highly recommend. read more

Love this place only because it has halal burgers They let you add cheese to your burgers which angry chickz don't so they are better for that reason Not as spicy as angry chickz The wait is usually long. I've waited up to 40-50 minutes one time read more

40 min wait. Still no food on a Saturday afternoon. Restaurant had 10 tables with no food. 1 cook and1 in front. Needs more staff!!!

Great tasting food! Love their sliders and fries. Wait times are a little long though.

Mozzarella sticks are DELICIOUS, Just like everything else on the menu. The mozzarella sticks are huge and amazingly spicy.

Service was decent overall, but I had an issue with my order. The slider I received wasn't intact--it was in two separate pieces, almost like scraps of chicken rather than a proper slider. When I pointed this out and asked for a replacement, the employee explained that the chicken had broken in half during cooking, but he didn't offer to remake it or provide another solution. read more

Tasty chicken, but nothing mind-blowing. The menu is simple and they're always consistent. Food is fresh and delicious but definitely on the pricier side. We came on a day when they had a promotion so it was more crowded than usual, but the line was moving quickly. The wait time for the food also wasn't too long. The restaurant is bigger than the other one I've been too and has a good amount of seating. Definitely stop by if you're interested and have never been! read more

I prefer Dave's over the other fried chicken chains because the chicken has more flavor in the coating and the chicken is not dry. We tried medium and hot spice level and liked both. Fries are okay. The service is prompt but you need to ask for the condiments and cutlery if you want any. The only downside for me was this strange smell inside that was like old or rancid oil. We sat and ate outside and totally enjoyed the meal but the smell inside was off for sure. Like the place and food. read more

15 bucks for a dry sandwich then they charge another 1.50 for sauce. What a joke for a hot chicken place.

The food is good but Gary provides such great world class service that deserves 5 stars

Very very long wait time (40 minutes) for an order. Staff is nice but wait is ridiculous and they limit your honey packets to 4 as if honey is an expensive item? read more

Amazing food and great service awesome people recommend to friends and family been to many places

Been wanting to check this place out for a while, inside is clean. Not busy at the time I went. Kollin was friendly and greeted me upon entering. Ordering on the app was easy and straight forward. I forgot to add a drink so I purchased one while I waited for my order. They have coke products and gold peak tea selections. I ordered the slider and not chicken cauli bites both in the mild- medium heat range. Food is made fresh to order. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. I was pleasantly surprised by the bites, cooked nicely subtle sweetness with a hint of smokey heat and not overly spicey. The pickles and dipping sauce compliment it well. The slider was also very good, chicken was freshly cooked and juicy. The potatoe bun was nice as well, my only complaint is that there needed to be a little more saw with the slider to really pull it all together. Overall I'd come back again and maybe move up to the next spice level to see what's too hot and just right. read more

My kids really love this place, so I gave it a shot. I would like to say I've eaten all over the south at A LOT of hot chicken places. Dave's offers the sandwich and chicken tenders, you can spice it up how ever you want. I can take the heat, but found the medium to be enough. The chicken was breaded great, and not overcooked. My only suggestion is that they consider offering different sauces, as one just isn't enough variety for a true foodie. The service was good, and the place is casual and clean. read more

First timer here. Last timer here. Chicken was not tender. Fries and cheese sauce were meh. Mac and cheese was disgusting. Extremely creamy but not cheesy. Stale slice of white sandwich bread. Would choose chicken and bread from Raising Canes, nacho fries and cheese sauce from Taco Bell, and Kraft Mac and cheese any day over this place. read more

Wait time is bad!!!!!! Hire more people Only 2 here at lunch, food was ok, seemed like to was kind of put together fast. Prefer the one in Escondido read more

Good on flavor, small on portion size. The strips of chicken were definitely small but they were very flavorful. I had mild and added honey on top. Good flavor and crunch. Hubs got the hot and in his opinion it was more medium than hot. Mac and cheese tasted like your typical velveeta cheese. Order and pay at the counter. Bathrooms were clean. read more

We stopped here for a quick bite on the way to wine tasting. Gotta build that base! The seasonings are very heavy-handed, even if you don't order the hot! Don't let the name fool you, there are not hot options. You can also douse with honey if that is your jam. Comes with Dave's sauce if you are a dipper. The service was quick and the people well-trained. This is located in a large shopping center, so there is plenty of parking. read more

Service extremely slow in Temecula location.. I ordered Online said it would be ready at 8:49. Got there 846 waited until 905 for the food... It was horrendous... Took the food to the car to take it back to my disabled friend who just had surgery did not look at the food. It was very small bag which shocked me for what it advertised on the site... The pictures did not match the size of the actual box... It was horrible no extra pickles no heat as far as the chicken was ice cold as if it been sitting for 15 to 20 minutes I was there earlier than expected and it was in the store for our 15 minutes waiting for my order which was serve cold... The fries were a complete rip off a tiny little box with fries that the reaper sauce it was horrible. It was a powder poured on one fry only they were not edible. They were gagging... The cheese sauce was called and for the amount of money 5.75or whatever it was, it was a total rip off. There was nothing. It's a tiny box. i've had parties and had Dave's Hot Chicken since you've opened and been a frequent flyer basically there until last night, horrendous and slow order... It was not edible any of it. The chicken was cold. I could not take it back because I was already delivered it to my friend who had ordered it online. I'm five minutes away, but there's no way to go stand and wait in that bad line of people... Nobody was happy last night on Wednesday the 24 th fourth of June... they did not have their act together. It was if the staff was not in sync and they were not working as a team. I would definitely not send anybody to this location again... I'm turned off. We were frequent lovers of this particular chicken, but not the way it was prepared or served last night... Was tasteless too. You need to retrain your staff on every aspect... Customer Service, preparation, cooking, and overall cleanliness of the location... You are too no business to start losing customers... But now you've lost me and my events ,that I host for this type of chicken... I'm very disappointed I want a refund or some type of compensation for last night's lousy meal... not edible!!! I'm so glad I didn't order a tray of the bites last night. I would've been $30 of garbage down the drain cold chicken balls. Basically they need to be able to handle four people in line that acted like there was a line out the door that's how disorganized they were and there were only four customers standing in line wasn't that overwhelming... read more

This place is big and had plenty of seats! So far management was great and the workers are so nice. The manager was diligent in even organizing the napkin holder! It was a pretty orderly place! Their wasn't a huge line when it opene, but when I first came there was about 20 people or so. I've been to other locations and it's always been decent. I was the 2nd person in line but the order did take a little bit. I ordered the number 3. I got one hot and one medium. The hot was pretty good. I imagine if it was more hot than this, it would lose its natural flavors. Sooooo the medium was perfect for me. A tiny bit dry but still so awesome. One thing I love about this place are the fries! Added cheese to it, awesomeness!! Ibalso got the Mac n cheese. Kinda runny but still super good for me. Super cheesy!! Yum! They have really good daves sauce as well. You can ask for more! My only qualm is that it can get expensive quick!!! But what isn't expensive now and days?!?! Lol I really enjoyed the atmosphere here and the workers were sooooo awesome. They were welcoming and always said their names! Awesome! read more
