“I had an incredible experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken! The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with just the right amount of heat. The flavor was amazing, and the spice levels allow everyone to find their perfect match. The portions were generous, and the sides complemented the meal perfectly. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick even during a busy time. If you're craving delicious, flavorful hot chicken, this is the spot! I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Great food. Super nice staff. Thank you. When they say it’s spicy believe them. Dare is almost unbearable. I wouldn’t dare try the double dare. Soooo good.“

“So crispy! Got the Happy Zach combo (fiery) with fries (3 tenders) , Z sauce (aoli) & comeback. The chicken was delicious, not spicy at all though, but it was super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, fries were nicely seasoned and crispy. Their sauces were delicious, the comeback sauce was nice and thick and the aoli had great flavor. Staff was pleasant, they have a bathroom inside and plenty of seating inside & outside. Price is fair for the size & quality.“

“My first time here, the food was amazing, and the service even better. Carter and the other FOH dude made sure me and my friend were taken care of the entirety the time we were there, from when I walked in to when I walked out. 20/10 in all aspects“

“Very moist, juicy tenders and crispy fry on the outside that makes the tenders worth the wait. The mango habenaro sauce is tangy, has good viscosity that sticks to the chicken, and is on the spicier side. Leaves a subtle burn on the lips and tongue. Turned out to be $12.50 for three tenders and bread. The wait was the worst part of the experience. Took about 25 minutes from ordering to get the food. No one was in at 4:30pm Sunday, and all other orders are for takeout. They pack ranch and ketchup in the to go order. Nice service and clean facility. Would recommend for fried hot chicken fans to try.“

“It’s a fast food place in a food court close to John Wayne airport. I didn’t have high expectations for the steamed bao. But it’s actually pretty good and the steamed egg is really soft and tender. I also had the soybean milk which tastes very fresh and authentic.“

“Best chicken and best sauce!“

“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?!?!?“

“It was my first time coming in and I ordered the New Dave's Bites with 10 bites made fresh(Medium Hot). Only 3 options for spice on the Bites but simple is better and perfect for $9.99 with a side of fries. I hope to try the chicken sandwich next time. The chicken was surprisingly tender and juicy so if you like chicken it's a must try. This location has a comfortable outdoor patio with umbrellas and an out of this world graffiti scene with interdimensional chicken man on a UFO ? theme.“

“This is the first place I have found in Orange County that makes a hot chicken that is legitimately too hot to handle. And I say that as I sweat through the next 3 tenders. It's fantastic but I'll actually order something a little milder next time. Get Clucked means business.“

“Great management! Thanks for serving the Costa Mesa community.“

“Introduced to this place by a sailing buddy. Had the half chicken combo with corn tortilla. Very tasty. The place is a bit small and friendly service. I always take it to go. There were mosquitoes last time so it was not good to hang out there.“

“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!“

“Now’s famous potato with chicken!“

“The asian register is so polite and professional that’s on top of great food this place has. Place is a little small so why only 4 for atmosphere.

Parking: It’s a big compund with multiple stores but in a great area. Great when not too busy. Accross the street is a public agency where you can park while eating.“

“Stopped here for some Halal chicken and was pleasantly surprised. perfect crispness and flavor. My only complaint is that me and my family’s orders of wings were mostly all drums only one or two flats total. Otherwise great customer service and food.“

“Really awesome food. Workers are kind. But service can be really terrible on different locations. Sometimes you don't get your food for a good 30 minutes. They screw up the orders a LOT! I usually get a 12 pc grilled nuggets and a large fry. Sometimes I get the lemonade, which is REALLY sour. Usually I can handle sour, but sometimes it's just to much. Funny story for ya: I ordered my usual meal. About 30 minutes later I hear "Miley". No one goes to the counter. They call the name again. No one. So I look at my receipt and low and behold, the name Miley is on it. I never realized my name was Miley. THEY SCREW UP THE NAMES TOO! COME ON PEOPLE GET IT RIGHT!

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options and almost all the food contains no milk.

Parking: Parking lot, many spots!

Kid-friendliness: Lots of kid-friendly options and things to do like the indoor playground that some Chick-fil-A have.

Wheelchair accessibility: Many handicap spots in the parking lot and handicap seating inside.“

“Nashville hot is a understatement! All you heat seekers will meet your match!!! This isn’t the flamin Cheeto hot crap. They not only serve HOT but it’s a genuinely SUPER hot.“

“Pollo campero in Santa Ana Bristol is the best service, the employees are very attentive, the food is very tasty and the chicken is very juicy, the price is fair and what we liked is that you can eat outside. Excellent place for the family.

“Drive thru today. Quick ordering. My bucket of chicken, cole slaw, and biscuits were ready without much delay. Chicken and slaw were tasty, no issues.
Price. No more pre-pandemic, pre $20/hr wage specials like $5 meals. Everything's $10-15 for a fried chicken meal, and bucket meals $30-50~. Bucket deal on 12 piece was $20 today, $30~ with a large cole slaw and 2 biscuits.“

“Muy buen servicio y el pollo muy bueno“

“A week or so ago, my friends and I went to this Chick-fil-A while visiting California. I've never dined in a proper Chick-fil-A restaurant before, only having eaten at one in an airport cafeteria, and was incredibly impressed by the quality of service! Not only were the employees very friendly and attentive to making a good environment for the customer (ie. Making sure the table was fully clean before we sat down, wiping my drink when it spilled over slightly as they filled it, being polite, clearing trays when we were finished, etc.), but I was astonished by the speed of service! I had hardly finished paying and was just about to sit at our table to wait for my order when, lo and behold, an employee brought me my food! I was gobsmacked and pleasantly shocked! Never have I witnessed such speed of service! Then, shortly after, before my astonishment had even warn off, the same employee brought me a milkshake on-the-house! Apparently there was a "mix-up" in the back that resulted in a being made milkshake by mistake and they thought of me and my flabbergastered yet positive reaction! So there I sat amongst friends, happily eating my chicken tendies with a free, banger milkshake quite pleased by the food and quality of service I was experiencing.

In short, to anyone who asks, I highly recommend eating at a Chick-fil-A and I fully intend to dine there again in the future! Thanks for the positive experience, guys! Keep up the great work!“

“Best fried chicken ever! Combination of spices and coleslaw makes your mouth water!“

“First timer! So gooddd! Stay healthy employees!“
