“I was visiting from Montreal, Canada, and I’m so glad I stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken! The food was absolutely amazing—crispy, flavorful, and the perfect level of spice. What really made my experience special, though, was the outstanding service. The manager, was incredibly welcoming, took the time to suggest the best sauces to pair with my chicken, and made me feel like a valued customer from start to finish. It’s not every day you encounter such genuine hospitality!

Now, whenever anyone is visiting Orange County, I’ll be sure to refer them to this spot. If you're in the area, don't miss out—definitely worth the visit!“

“Okay, I thought this was one of this joints where you order “Xtra Crack” in the comments and you get some smoking crack. Imagine my disappointment when I opened my bag and all I had was delicious chicken, fries and amazing coleslaw. Honestly though, I think that chicken has smoking crack in it cause I just finished eating and I’m already itching for some more…. Maybe you could help a fella out and get me some chicken? Come on man! Please?!?!?“

“I have been on an elimination diet for 11 months (AIP) and have had to give up eating out because no one serves anything I can have without completely changing the menu item! Chixy Natural’s Paleo Bowl was absolutely delicious! Such simple and yummy ingredients! Best of all, I didn’t have to cook it myself. We will be going there again!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place, the chef is amazing and I have gone here for almost 10 years. There’s no place that can beat the quality and prices, the absolute best chicken and they give you 4 taquitos instead of 3. I always recommend stopping here when you’re in the area, there’s a reason it’s been there for years!“
