Dave's Hot Chicken

The best hot chicken in town by far. Always juicy and perfectly crispy. The service is always a 10 out of 10 the food is always super delicious and the restaurant itself is always clean. This is our go to spot at least 2 to 3 times a week.

First time here and I was really impressed. The cashier asked if we'd ever been there before and thanked us for coming in. The food was surprisingly delicious and the chicken tenders were nice and thick. I got mild spice level and found it very flavorful (maybe a little heavy on the paprika) and it didn't burn my mouth at all. The accordion fries were great and I loved the flavorful mayo dip. The tables were nice and clean. I was honestly surprised at how much I enjoyed my meal and will definitely be back.

The chicken here is amazing — juicy, flavorful, and perfectly spicy. The menu is simple, and the food comes out fast and fresh. The staff is friendly and the place is clean with a fun vibe. If you love spicy chicken or want to try something new, Dave’s Hot Chicken is a must-try!

Slowest workers of all time. Three people in the back and only ONE working?? To top it off, the little one even walked passed us to get a a soda💀(the one circled ) unprofessional! Water all over the floor (didn’t get a photo cuz i was trying not to slip!) The only employee who was actually working can’t even read because it says no kale slaw. I rarely get DHC but this location sucks! And clearly apply here because they let anyone in …

The customer service was just fine, but the staff members are very overworked and the place is very understaffed. This is supposed to be "fast food" but I had to wait 34 minutes for my food to come out. Once I received my food it was stone cold like it had been sitting out for 30 plus minutes. I felt so bad for the 2 young ladies who kept running back and forth between the cash register, cooking and preparing the food all at the same time. But to wait over 30 minutes and spend $21 dollars, I should have just gone to a sit-down restaurant and be served for the same amount of money and wait time. I do understand that it was a Saturday night and they were busy, but management shouldn't make it the customer's problem if they don't have enough staff members to operate the place. Management should be on top of their game and have someone working the cash register during their busy times and not step away every 2 minutes to go do something else. They should also have more than enough cooks continuously knocking out one order after another. That way the system runs smoothly instead of having only 2 or 3 people running all over the place trying to do 5 different things all at one time. Because those workers looked exhausted and they were really pushing through with a smile on their face the best that they could, so I don't blame them at all for this. But something really needs a change in that place. My guess would be the management. But I'll never return, not even during slow times.

I ordered a chicken sandwich and it was pretty good! The seasoning was spot on, with just the right balance of flavor without being overwhelming. Some may say its a bit salty but I was craving it so it hit the spot. Even though it was takeout, everything held up really well by the time I got home. The sandwich was packaged neatly, and nothing was messy. Definitely one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve had recently. I’ll absolutely be ordering again!

Today I came in for lunch around noon. The young man at the cashier gave exceptional customer service. I ordered the sliders and also sandwich combo. It was delicious. The meat quality of the chicken was amazing. On my next visit I will kick it the spice a notch! I tried mild lite spice and it was maybe a bit too mild lol. Next time I might try medium spice!

Great experience highly recommended, specially if you love spicy food. But be careful because even the regular hot can be hard for some people. Slider plus sandwich is a great combination.

Amazing customer service they are respectful and kind the food is great and the atmosphere is great and Atzire was phenomenal she is quick, kinda and very friendly.

If you're craving juicy fried chicken, look no further . I 'm a wimp when it comes to spicy so I usually order mild level and it's the perfect level of spice. My go to is the two slider combo . Comes with tasty crinkle cut fries and pickle. The breast meat was so tender and juicy. Definitely cooked to order. Also it's a dry rub hot chicken, so don't expect it to be the same in style as Nashville hot chicken. They add purple cabbage and pickles which compliments the product as a whole by giving you the freshness and crunch. Food and service here is always good. The interior is nice and clean.

Pretty solid chicken. We got a 'slider' and tender meal. Fries were good, chicken was pretty tasty. The 'slider' is a sandwich, so that's a bit confusing when ordering. Smaller than what you get at another fast food chicken spot's sandwich, but decent, just the same. They also have a mini slider deal that I am guessing are true sliders. Service was very friendly. The place is somewhat stark, concrete and graffiti art all over. Tables didn't look clean and we asked for a wipedown. She told us they just look that way but did wipe ours down. It felt better, but still... Would definitely return.

Ill say the same thing for all Dave's Chickens, when the expansion happened the taste changed. I don't know if it is just watered down but I used to go to the original location and that was the best. Anyway a little mad they gave my order to someone else else after I waited but they did what they could to try to fix it with a little somethin. To me this was the only place I would eat at in this whole shopping center.

I've always liked Dave's Hot Chicken and the taste is still great, but I was disappointed during my visit yesterday. The chicken breast was almost half the size of what they used to serve. When it was privately owned it felt like one of the best places to eat, but now that it's corporate you can really see a difference. Still tasty, but not the same value as before.

Amazing service always clean food always taste good it's good for the whole family. Spicy or non spicy. I come here once a week

Love the chicken and the lava burst. So gooood ! Just started coming here and I can't stop.

Disgusting!!!! You go inside there is a horrible smell that we couldn't stand and decided to go and sit outside. Places the order and once we got it there was 2 strands of copper/orange hair on our food. I immediately went and returned it. The 2 ladies at the counter looked at each other and smiled, no apologies, nothing, and the older one called Angel, who was I guess a manager to come and help. He refunded and apologized and wanted to replace our food and I said no and walked away. Inside was a mess. The napkin dispenser was empty, trash bin was overfilled inside the store and water or left over of the drinks from the cups inside the trash covered the floor and went under one of the tables. Never ever going back to this location.

Just bomb . Com extremely delicious, it's a better upscale version of chicken compared to most fast food restaurants. I thought it was pretty good. It's like the chicken burger of In-N-Out.

From a Sunday before 7pm dinner rush. Great seasoning. Medium has a slight kick to it, nothing crazy. Ordered the nuggets with fries $10. Crunchy fries with its own yummy seasoning. It also comes with toast and pickles. The spread tastes like ketchup and mayo. Another condiment good to pair with is honey. Parking is tricky as it is competitive with other businesses Two bathrooms with a code needed Order at cash register or two kiosk Casual indoor seating

One of the better Daves that's out there. The chicken was freshly made, it was juicy, it was tender and it tasted great. The lady at the register was very nice and helpful. The ambiance was great. Some of the Dave's locations have fallen off but glad to see some still care. Good spot to check out.

this is my first time coming to Dave's hot chicken in the empire center that is located in burbank. i was craving a chicken sandwich with some coleslaw inside and since i was already shopping in the empire center I decided to give this place a try. I would have to say that the photos Dave's chicken advertises is false advertising cause the food comes out looking nothing like the photos they promote. As you can see in MY photo, this is what you ACTUALLY get. i mean.. where is my coleslaw? the cook put like 4 cabbages and called it a day. the sauce was very little. just 2 pickles in the sandwich, some pickles on the side & that's it. i do have to say the chicken was nicely cooked and seasoned well, which is why i gave 2 stars. the fries were nicely seasoned and cooked. their blueberry slushee is good. the ordering process was quick. waiting for the food does take some time. i wouldn't come back to this location.

This place is very clean and fresh, we always go to the Glendale one they are not welcoming at all, bathrooms are disgustingly dirty. Angle the manager was super professional and welcoming! Thank you Angel!

The food was great and the folks were helpful in helping us figure out what spice level to get. The graffiti even appears to be local, which was fun to see! It was clean and even the bathrooms looked great!

Food was delicious seasoned pretty well, we did an online order and a kiosk order both was easy to pick up and made in good time. Lady at the counter was really nice and friendly. Decent amount of seating for parties of 4 also have seating out side. Music was perfect and for the most part really clean. Only thing I wish was different is they added more lucky charms to the "loaded" cup it was more ice cream than anything.

Dave's Hot Chicken is a must-visit for anyone craving some delicious, spicy comfort food! Their chicken is incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection, but what really surprised me was their cauliflower/vegetarian option. It's a fantastic choice for those who prefer a meatless meal without compromising on taste--crispy, spicy, and satisfying! As for the logistics, parking is usually okay, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a spot. Just a heads up, though: the bathroom requires a code, which might be a bit inconvenient if you're not in the know. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Dave's if you're in the mood for some great food and a solid vegetarian option! It is a little pricey though, so I recommend using the app for rewards! You can switch out the fries for Mac and cheese, which I like better sometimes!

Customer service here sucks! You ask for some sauce to go they lye say its inside, then when you get to eat it theres none!! They are cheap, want to save in little things. Even if you order online. They don't put what you ordered. I ended up disputing it from uber eats several times just cause they would save on food (It was missing) sauces, pickles, and honey packets. It ruins eating experience, fix. Its Burbak, not some cheap place

Food is very delicious, next time I'll get 3 tenders. Would recommend to people who likes Nashville chicken.

Stopped by with my son to buy an early dinner to go. I almost never eat food like this but for some reason I was craving it so we got the slider with fries. I got medium heat and it wasn't spicy at all. It was flavorful and had a crispy skin. It tasted good. Dave's is probably the best Nashville style chicken place in Southern California. It's always busy and now they are opening new locations all around the country. Customer service was ok, could have been more friendlier but lately it's hard to find that. This location is convenient cause it has a lot of parking space, it has indoor and outdoor seating. Cool artwork on walls.

Audrey has the best customer service. She is very nice and super helpful. Gave me all the best recommendation. My food came out quick and superb.

I just arrived for some chicken bro how lame and unprofessional and wack of a service they are to the point they tell you 25 plus minute wait Like what's up with all these food spots not being able to fulfill needs

I still remember my first time trying Dave's at their first brick and mortar store in Western. I was among the crazy people who lined up hours just to get my hands on their chicken sandwich. So glad they've added more stores nearby me. This particular store is just a little more than a mile from my house. I went here on the day they're giving away one slider per person. I ordered an extra slider because I know one won't be enough. I had them to go cuz the place was loud, messy, and very busy that day. I was really hungry so I devoured both sliders as soon as I got home. They were as good as expected. They never disappoint. Planning to revisit soon and I'm sure service and tidiness will be on point to earn five stars.

Stopped in for some spicy chicken strips and chicken bites. At first glance it's a bit pricey. They gave us a nice amount of bites for the price. The food was cooked fresh. The medium imo wasn't spicy at all but still good. The extra hot wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be neither but also good. The guys were friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking options outside the restaurant was definitely was a plus.

The food was served literally cold and old looking. Tasted old. They didn't even bother reheating it. The staff was nice and the location is fine but come on...

Great chicken and great fries. I am a huge fan of very spicy food, so I ordered one tender of Extra Hot and one Reaper. The extra hot was perfect for me, good amount of spice and great taste. The Reaper was just above my limit, as I figured would be the case when they made me sign a waiver. I'd say it's maybe a step or two (at the most) below the heat of the One Chip Challenge thing. It's that hot. I've never had spice from a restaurant cause that kind of pain. I only made it through half the tender. So, if you love very spicy food, start with the Extra Hot and go from there. I warn you...the jump to Reaper is huge. There could literally be one or two more steps in between. Enjoy!

Amazing service. Angel attended us with great customer service . Order was done in a fast timely manner ! Love this place

This place was a huge surprise. We pass by it every time but this time decided to try it. My husband ordered the hottest sandwich there was on the menu. In fact he has to sign a waiver if he ordered the sandwich. We were laughing like are they for real. Yes indeed. The staff was super friendly and helping us along the way answering ALL our questions. We will definitely give this place another try in fact we LOVE the fries also!

Terrible service! First time here and will NEVER come back! Cashier (who was one of two managers on duty) was slow as molasses! Waited 10 minutes in back of just one customer. Then when I was ready to order, and asked another manager what she recommended, the cashier took someone else! Wtf!? What kinda crack pot service is this! I mentioned it to the co-manager who was helpful answering my questions, but she just said sorry. Added insult to injury: Again, waited 10 minutes in line, only to have the co-manager take someone that was AFTER me in line! WTH!? So much for first impressions! Hope the GM, Angel, reads these reviews! I'm actually shocked it's got over a 4-rating on Yelp!

The food is ok, it used to be better. But the service sucks. I bought 3 meals asked for a couple of extra honey since they always cheap out on giving out honey, the employees response was we have a honey shortage so you get what you get. I said ok thinking they would at least put two packages of honey for each sandwich I ordered 4 sandwiches and tenders. I get home and open the bag not one single packet of honey. Honey is a key condiment in a this type of a chicken sandwich food chain. I'm sure the owners know better than I do. If you're actually having a honey shortage I distribute honey maybe I can be of help. I hate writing negative reviews if you check out my page it's mostly positive reviews. But that employee pissed me off the way he responded.

Excellent service on top of amazing food. The chicken is always so juicy with soft pickles. I definitely recommend it if you're thinking about trying for the first time or if you're a regular customer. Best DHC location.

I placed an order for 2 sliders WITH cheese and yet again there is 1 little dash of cheese. I don't understand why every Dave's does this I promise you they have packs on packs of cheese

This place has one of the best chicken sandwiches. I would just get mild or medium level. Cheese fries are great too. The service is insanely quick, with nice cashiers. The place is usually packed or not packed with very quick orders. There is lots of art around the wall which makes it seem like a normal chicken spot.

I've been on a hot chicken hunch since a recent trip to Nashville. This spot did not disappoint. Good music playing, fun atmosphere, and good food. The hot is pretty hot, just be warned. The fries were crispy and seasoned well. Extra pickles was not an issue for them. Minus one star because they were not able to make milkshakes. Looking forward to returning.

Good value for delicious food. I was shopping in the plaza near by with my friends. We decided to come here when other eateries had a long wait. I have heard about Dave's Hot Chicken but haven't had the chance to try it out til now. I ordered the #4 slider with fries. I added a small soda and the total was under $15 for the meal. I ordered lite mild because I wasn't sure how much spice mild would have. It was delicious and the bun was nice and soft. The fries were cooked really well. I would gladly eat at Dave's Hot Chicken again if I'm nearby one & am hungry.

Not a fan of the chicken--flavor is very cumin forward. Fries decent, Dave's sauce is nothing special.

Picked up Dave's hot chicken for the fist time and drove to the park to enjoy it there with the kids. Kids enjoyed the fries and milkshake. Our sandwiches were great too had a bit of a spice which added a good kick. Took us a while to try this well known place but can set see what the hype is about. Restaurant was clean with vibrant colors and services fast and friendly staff.

Food was excellent. Service was decent. I like the fact that you could order at the touch screen. The inside was really out but there was tables outside

I ordered the two chicken strip meal. The seasoning was pretty good and it came with fries, a piece of bread and a drink. The strips vary in size since we ordered multiple meals and there was no consistency, just the luck of the draw so if you are pretty hungry just order an extra tender on the side. Overall quick and easy for a fast meal.

Love chicken sandwiches spots like Dave's and others. Chicken is always delicious and very filling. Our food did take awhile to get out when there wasn't many people inside really and they didn't have any of the milkshakes we wanted that looks bomb so that sucked but when it came to the actual meal it was very tasty and scuffed it down quite quickly because of how good it was

The food was AMAZING. The chicken was crispy ,juicy ,tender ,and the perfect level of spice. The delivery was faster than expected. I really recommend Dave's Hot Chicken

Daves was really really good when they were in Hollywood in the parking lot. The quality, sizes of the tenders was a bit smaller and thinner. Now you get a big chicken tender that you can barely bite, the rub is dry, max n cheese feels like microwaved, just overall not the same Daves hot chicken. I'll still have Dave's here and there, hats off to them for where they're now good job.

Well it says open until 12 am, I went at 11 pm and they didn't allow me inside! Please check your working hours

I had never heard of, let alone been to, a Dave's before, but I enjoyed their tenders and was happy to find that their "spicy" level truly qualified as being spicy. Slathered Dave's sauce worked to balance some of the burning, being some kind of aioli, and the mac & cheese side, though not my favorite (I prefer flavorful baked macs), also countered the heat. The service was quick and impersonal, a fine fast food experience, and the restaurant itself had a medium-sized seating area with clean tables.

Food was really good!!!!! Service great 5+!!! Chicken was very fresh and delicious . Always choose this one

Horrible experience, ordered the loaded fries and waited about 20mins, then when my number is called they wait to tell me they have no cutlery so I ask how do i eat my meal? With my hands? The female worker's response was "yeah" while she shrugged her shoulders. I decide to ask for a return instead because it was going to be too messy to eat with my hands. So upon asking for a refund she just got it and threw my meal away in the trash and turned to the kitchen. So I asked if I can order something else and upon taking my order, since the two sliders with fries cost more, I had to pay a difference. So she rang me up for a single tender instead at 4.99 when my difference was 3.99 so on top of the horrible experience, I still paid an extra $1. When my order was ready, she just called my number and when I walked up to the counter, she just dropped it on the counter, while she has been serving all other orders to the customers' hands. I Will be bubbling this up to corporate as well. This happened on 1/4 at 9:15pm. Worker involved in this incident: Young, Female, African American worker.

Nothing special here just chicken same as KFC McDonald inside design bad cheap And workers not organized well ,I'll Never come back here Not good

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and I wish I could give it 5 stars. The 2 stars are for the experience. I ordered a chocolate milkshake for my daughter to go with her meal. When I got there to pick up the order. The cashier who handed me the food also handed me the shake and she put it in front of me on the counter and left. When I looked at my shake. It was watery, basically chocolate milk with no shake. I wanted to bring it up to her but she never came back. Almost like she knew and hid from me. Once the other worker acknowledged me , I told him about the milkshake and he inspected the machine. He concluded with, it's not working. He was nice enough to suggest a slushee, which I took still but there's a price difference. Oh well. The food was good though. I will try again and hopefully have a different experience and I will update.

So excited to see a Dave's now in Burbank! Been going to the North Hollywood one for a while. By far my favorite chicken sandwich chain. This location is super clean and opened only 2 days ago (May 5th). It has a great amount of parking and seating (both inside and out). Service was good, especially with it being opening weekend and them still getting everything set up. I definitely recommend downloading their app. Once this location gets the large lines of people, it will speed up the process. To sum it up... Dave's is a must!

I was at the Empire Shopping Center and noticed that Dave's Hot Chicken was finally opened. So happy they have one here. Definitely beats allot of the other food places in the Shopping center. Who doesn't love Dave's? The chicken is so juicy and spices always on point. The service was sufficient. Definitely could step it up a notch. The restaurant is clean and decorated in cool street art like the other stores. I ordered 2 sliders with cheese fries, and extra side of cheese. The food is so yummy all the time and fresh. I love Dave's! I gave this location a four star because the energy from the staff could step it up and blend with the energy of the establishment!
