Excellent service and care. They take care of the military! Thank you! It was really busy, but they had it in good order and they were taking care of all their customers. read more

Alyssa helped me out and recommended I try the #3 medium. It was the perfect spice level, and was so fresh and crispy too!

Fabulous service. The food was served hot and fresh very quickly. The overall customer service there is excellent. You are greeted as soon as you walk in the door with a smiling face. The manger in specific Cecilia, is amazing at her job. She really went above and beyond to make the stores overall atmosphere and ambiance feel friendly and welcoming. read more

Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 8/10 We went during a weekday during lunch hour and there was only 1 cook and 1 cashier so it wasn't as fast as expected but still ready at a decent time. Everything was perfectly crisp and juicy. All the sauces were great and paired well with the food. Mac n cheese wasn't bad at all which surprised me. I got medium and hot heat. The medium is perfect for a kick and the hot burned my mouth to the point if I kept eating it I could not taste it lol I love the heat so it truly surprised me how spicy it was. I still liked it but if you want to enjoy the flavor of the chicken I would stay under medium heat. Drunk (strawberries n cream) was very refreshing. It was sweet and sour but definitely will give you brain freeze. Overall, everything was made great but very greasy and messy which I'm okay with if it's yummy. read more

I've been wanting to try Dave's and was so excited to see cauliflower bites on the menu Wow!! One of the worst foods I have ever eaten. Overcooked cauliflower pieces were pretty much disintegrated. The extra crispy flavorless batter was a mouth full of grease. I spit it out. I tried absorbing oil with napkins (went through 6 napkins for 10 bites). And each bite was just as gross. Tried with the sauce. Still gross as the sauce is bland. The pickles were cold and crisp so unfortunately they were the best thing about my order Fries were just ok. It comes with a piece of white bread? However, service was great. The cashier was super friendly and helpful. The place had cute decor and was a comfortable temperature. Will I be back? NO I was sick all afternoon read more

Excellent customer service. Cecilia (manager) went above and beyond to celebrate our birthday boy! The live chicken (costume) was an added bonus for the birthday bash. Fun surprise! The food was delicious and hot. Staff were very nice and friendly! Happy you are in Vacaville. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dining Area - Chicken Shop Near Me - Vacaville, California

I came here to try this new restaurant out on a Sunday at 5pm and the place was packed! I have never been to a Dave's Hot Chicken before. I accidently stood in a line against the wall thinking it was the food line to order but it was people waiting for their food order leaning against the walls. Thankfully, someone noticed us in the wrong line and redirected us. I ordered the 10 piece chicken nuggets with fries and a side of ranch. It came with Dave's sauce packet which was a delicious dipping sauce that seemed similar to in n out's sauce. I had low expectations for the French fries but they had a special salt seasoning on it that made it taste better than just bland fries so that was a nice surprise! It tasted like Lawreys salt seasoning. The ranch sauce was an extra $1.49 per added sauce. I didn't realize the Dave's sauce packet came with the meal, I probably wouldn't have ordered the ranch side. They accidently gave me a spicy ranch too which was spicy! The chicken nuggets had flakey crispies for the breading that made them crunchy and delicious on the outside and juicy on the inside! They are pretty plain with no spice but the dipping sauces make them even better! My boyfriend ordered the single tender extra hot and his mouth was burning. When I looked up at him, I could see the burn from the spice was having an effect on him. He said he was glad he didn't get the hottest spice flavor! The fries were crispy too and the seasoning salt on them gave them some umph. I was surprised by the drink selection of frozen slushy drinks, fountain drinks including cherry coke, a couple options of iced tea and milkshakes! I read the reviews about the ambiance being loud and it's true. The music was a mix of 70's and 80's music. The walls are spray painted which was a really cool artsy and unique design with tributes to vacaville. The floor is cement so I noticed there wasn't anything in the establishment to absorb sound. There is outdoor seating through the back door where you can escape the noise level, but if you want something more quiet, you might want to get it to go to avoid the noise. We sat at a two person table and everytime I looked around while we ate our food, there were groups of high schoolers with their friends. Overall, it's a nice fast food restaurant addition to vacaville if you want some fried chicken! read more

Location is convenient nice outside patio, inside is smaller. Customer service was great, everyone was willing to help us, especially Melannie. She went above and beyond to fix our order. As for the sliders (medium flavor) it lacked heat and flavor. My daughter loved her chicken wings hot honey & my husband loved his Mac N Cheese. They were happy with their food. read more

Today was my first time ever coming to a Dave's hot chicken, even though it was about an hour before closing the staff member Named Vanessa provided me with such a friendly and wonderful experience. Music Playlist was fire too! Definitely will be coming back when im in the Area! read more

Went a few weeks after it opened. Cannot say this was a memorable meal. Food was okay. Staff was very friendly. May go back but unlikely that we I'll have a craving to want to go back. read more

Great place. Good service. Chill vibe. The food is on point. I'm not sure why it matters that Dave is hot in order for the food to be good, but it is what it is. I mean, it's right there in the name. Punctuation and phrasing for the win! A+ read more

This was my first time trying a Dave's, and it did not let down. The Mac and cheese was just average, but the chicken was super flavorful and juicy. The wait was a little long, but it was worth it. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Vacaville, California

I love Dave's. I think the chicken is good. Buns and slaw and all are good. I do come here a lot BUT ONLY off peak times. Friday through Sunday night don't even bother. Service takes forever. Food ends up cold. Especially if you're taking it to go. Lunch time on most days also a wait. Management really needs to invest in a faster more efficient way to process orders up front and back of the house. read more

This is the slowest fastfood place I've ever been in. Be prepared to wait 15 to 30 minutes.

Picked up my online order , so I was pretty much in and out. Although staff was very friendly and left a good impression. Place was very clean. Food was good, as expected read more

I like Dave's hot chicken, but I would avoid this location. They're a hot mess, it took me almost 30m to get my meal. The kitchen seemed ridiculously understaffed and inept. Off course they got my order wrong too. To top it off the icemaker was broken so I had to drink my soda lukewarm. I'm never going there again. read more

i've been seeing lots of people online saying how spicy dave's hot chicken is & i've been so eager to try it because i love spicy food! when ordering i asked if i was able to get the 2 sliders w/fries meal ($14) but sub the chicken w/ the mozzarella & they said no that i could only order 2 separate mozzarella slider meals ($10 each) which i didn't understand but i didn't question it. i ordered an extra hot slider (the 2nd spiciest option) & my boyfriend ordered mild. i asked if we could have sauce & the woman taking our order told us that sauce would be offered to us when it's ready so we sat down to wait. the wait was around 10 minutes. when our order was ready it was packaged for to-go although, she never asked if we wanted our food to-go. this honestly wasn't a big deal to me but i asked for ranch & a different woman than the one who took our order told me it would be almost a $2 charge so i said never mind & at that point i didn't want to dine in because i was slightly annoyed that wasn't communicated when i asked previously. i start eating my meal in the car & it's not spicy AT ALL. we thought maybe they accidentally swapped our orders so i tried my boyfriend's slider which had more kick than mine but still not spicy. the fries were okay, the dave's sauce was bland, the pickles were a bit salty & drink's weren't included in the meal cost. it was super disappointing, underwhelmingly spicy & felt like a waste of money. i ended up adding hot sauce to my slider once i got home. in my opinion it is not worth coming back. read more

Chicken and the breading had no flavor. Mac and cheese was good as well as the pickles. Drinks should be included in combo deal.

Go to Angry Chicks instead it much better. I waited almost 15 minutes my food was cold. read more

Inconsistent quality of chicken. Lots of icky parts. Too expensive for such low quality food. Long wait times when eating in the store because they get a lot of take out orders. read more

I've been meaning to try Dave's Hot Chicken but there were never any locations nearby Fairfield until now. Being a new location, I wasn't sure if they'd have the cauliflower chicken but they actually did. The "chicken" was great and the portions are generous. The fries were a bit salty for my liking so next time I'll ask for light salt. The workers were very friendly and my food was out pretty quickly being this was around lunchtime on a Saturday. read more

The food is great but the service takes forever . They need to figure out the service

Great food. Wonderful service by Galilea! Good value. A bit noisy but we ate in the car. Thanks Galilea!

Food was very good and service was fast! So excited to have them in our home town. Definitely excited to try the new items that come through

Cashier upfront was kind and helpful (Galilea) Food was fresh and good. Just had one chicken slider. I love the inside , great casual seating inside and out read more

Just what I needed! My food was hot and ready! Customer service was awesome, Cecilia was great and helpful! This place is def on my rotation!!! read more

This is just not a good restaurant. Light mild, mild, and medium all had the same non-existent heat level. The food was cold, the milkshake was room temp and nothing had flavor. Angry chickz would never. I did provide feedback directly on the website as directed by Brett's response and I never heard back. They're probably overwhelmed by all of the negative reviews. read more

Everything is crazy overpriced and chicken isn't really that good. My blue berry blast was frozen solid not good.

Melannie was awesome--super friendly, patient, and made sure everything was just right with my order. You can tell she really cares about customers having a good experience. Service like that makes a difference. Definitely appreciated! She got us water and napkins and it was unexpected, yet wonderful and we WILL be returning. read more

Delicious and filling, the chicken is always juicy and crispy. I was pleasantly surprised at how good this place was. Worth it!

Had other locations and this one took over 30 minutes to get our food! Very disappointed and we'll be sure to avoid this location in the future. Rude staff... read more

I went here recently and I have a few thoughts. The ambience in the whole building is too loud and its a struggle to hear anything, even myself think. Along with that, the workers are very kind but it seems like they are trying to outdo themselves. As if they are in some sort of competition. I had ordered a buffalo mac and the chicken was very nice although the mac and cheese was so watery and in my opinion it needs some work. The whole place does. read more

I went with my boyfriend and honestly it was not good. The chicken and fries tasted like burnt oil and were really hard to eat. We felt sick later that day, which was very disappointing. If you're bringing kids, please be careful. 2/10. I don't get the hype. read more

Great customer service and amazing fresh food. Great experience overall would recommend.

Jose and Melannie were fantastic. My first time in store. They were both very patient. Extremely helpful. Just based on their customer service I will come back,they both were super polite and helpful. Vacaville has great people. read more

Guile's was the best first man service was great. And food was fire. Ambiance was relaxed and clean. Best ever.
