    Mild fried cheese
    Lola B.

    Came to try the fried cheese. It did not disappoint. I ordered the mild. And the hubby ordered the hot. He also got a strawberry slushes drink which he loved. The fried cheese had the perfect cheese pull and great flavor. Lots of parking. Staff is nice. The pickles are delicious. The fried cheese had a perfect crunch and flavor. Restaurant is clean. Staff is well presented. Location is great. They get packed.

    We love Dave's and I've been coming here for years regularly. Tonight we were kind of shocked to hear that they're not giving out the Dave's hot sauce anymore or honey, and they only give up ketchup. How can you not give out Dave's sauce anymore? isn't it a thing ! That's what I said in the beginning. Please don't continue with that change. It looks like you're still crazy busy there was 18 people waiting for takeout orders, Uber eats Postmates. Please remember where you started from and even my surprise are skimpy tonight

    Went to California and had to give it a try. Definitely overhyped in my opinion -- just your typical chicken tender with hot sauce. The ambiance was fun, playful, and worth experiencing, but overall... been there, done that. Glad I tried it, but no need for a repeat visit.

    If the bathroom looks like this after an employee used it, saw it, and did nothing, what kind of standards do they keep in the kitchen?

    i stopped eating here because of the extremely slow service. unfortunately, i now do ubereats & nothing has improved. the night shift needs help!!! sevice is still excruciatingly slow!!!!! i will no longer accept orders from here. it's a complete waste of my time & the customer's!!! ‍

    The #3 tender and sandwich
    David M.

    Solid fried chicken tenders here. They have indoor and outdoor seatings. Staff is friendly and helpful. The drinks variety is good and they have plain ice tea. Plenty of parking and close by to the Galleria and transit options.

    Sharing a spicy chicken tender.  Yes it's tender!
    Toshi I.

    This is a great addition to the rise in popularity of fried chicken. What sets Dave's chicken patties/fingers apart is how tender it is. I love the story of how this business started. It's my son's favorite Chicken sandwich place. Although my spice tolerance is high, I was fine with spicy or regular. I dont think I can go for spicier. The mac and cheese is really cheesy and not dry. Definitely, enjoyed Dave's chicken and will be back. (Note: Logistically its a little odd. The line to order starts in the far rear and the dining area is right by the entrance. Formerly a Starbucks years ago and maybe that's why?) Adequate parking in this ministrip mall.

    They lost/missed my order and had to wait a bit longer today, but the staff is good about it.

    Tenders & fries
    Darlene D.

    I was excited to see Dave's Hot Chicken finally open in the South Bay; it's the perfect spot! There's plenty of parking and both indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the fries and tenders, which were perfectly crispy with just the right level of heat. Since I'm not a fan of super spicy food, I appreciated that they offer a hot-but-not-too-spicy option. The tenders were huge and satisfying, and the dipping sauce made them even more delicious. The crinkle-cut fries are one of my favorites, and of course, no hot chicken meal is complete without white bread and pickles! The indoor seating can get a bit crowded, so I'm glad there's an outdoor area as well.

    where is my chicken? lol

    Good quality not as good as what it used to be. The tender in the chicken slider has shrunk and they don't give you as much fries as before.

    Hello! What kind of oil do you use to fry your chicken?

    We use Soybean Oil. Thank you.

    Hi my sister got a $50 gift card for me around June and I just find out the card is not activated. The cashier told me there is nothing he can do for me, but I do have the receipt printed out. Is there anything to solve this issue?

    There should be an 800 number to call on the back. They should be able to help you with the card

    Throwing this out here again because I see reviews saying it's halal, but those appear to assume all Dave's chicken locations are. Does this place serve zabihah/halal chicken? Please verify. Thank you!!!

    Hi Nida, yes - our chicken at any Dave's Hot Chicken restaurant, including Torrance, is certified Halal. A manager at the store location can also present you the Halal Certificate which is reissued every year. Hope this helps! Thanks.

    Does the strawberry shake come with the hello kitty?

    Not sure.. I only order chicken sandwiche combo. Hope u get your answer

    Are you open!!!? We are so excited to see the sign up.

The ocean view is less than a block away. [Parking]: Paid street metered parking only and it may require circling around during busy weekends. [Ordering]: Customers place their orders at the counter and there's a pickup window just outside of the liquor store. The cashier said it takes about 15 minutes to prepare my order. There are no indoor tables, but there are couple of outdoor tables in the pickup window area. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items include Chicken Parm and Reg Hermosa Chicken Deluxe. The recommended sandwiches per the menu are Chicken Parm, Italian Combo, Meatball, Mickey's Combo, Sauce & Cheese, and Turkey. They also sell pizza slices, salads, deli items, hot dishes, and dinners. *** Large Chicken Parmigiano (Breaded Chicken, Marinara Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese and Parmesan Cheese, French roll - $17.50): Crunchy French roll and the portion was large enough to split into two meals. Flavor profile was alright and nothing too exciting. *** It's an a-ok grab-and-go deli shop, but I wouldn't drive out of the way for sandwiches with other better Italian deli shops in LA.

I stood in line for about five minutes waiting to be helped while multiple customers who came in after me were immediately acknowledged and assisted first. I was wearing a bright yellow shirt and standing clearly in view, so it was difficult to understand how I continued to be overlooked. I even glanced toward the camera because I genuinely could not believe what was happening. What disappointed me most was the customer service. When I later asked for the names of the staff members working during the interaction, Nick, Anianas, and two others.. they questioned why I was asking. I explained that I felt ignored and wanted to accurately reference who was present during the incident. As I was leaving, I overheard one of the workers say, "I feel bad for her walking out," which only added to the frustration because it confirmed they were aware of the situation the entire time. Sorry that I apparently did not fit the "typical clientele" you were more interested in helping first. This occurred between approximately 9:55 AM and 10:05 AM on Thursday, 5/21. Ironically, I had planned on purchasing a large order of pastries for my fiancé and his coworkers, but after the way I was treated, I decided not to spend my money here. If customer service matters to you, I would strongly reconsider visiting this establishment.
