Chicken Shops near Palm Desert, CA

“I had tried Dave’s Hot Chicken over a year ago at a different location and, to be honest, I wasn’t impressed. The food then felt rushed, and the experience didn’t live up to the hype. Because of that, I hadn’t been back since—until today. And I’m glad I gave it another shot, because this visit completely changed my mind.

From the moment I walked in, the difference was clear. Even though it looked like only two employees were running the entire operation, the service didn’t skip a beat. They were both friendly, efficient, and focused, handling the front counter, food prep, and even cleaning with a great attitude. You could tell they cared about doing it right.

The food this time was on point. I got the hot chicken slider and fries, and everything was cooked perfectly. The chicken was juicy inside with that crispy, flavorful crust Dave’s is known for when done right. The spice level was just right—not just heat for the sake of it, but actual flavor. The fries were fresh, not greasy or soggy, and the portions were generous.

Today’s experience made me a believer in Dave’s Hot Chicken. Great food, great staff, and a totally different feel from my last visit. I’ll definitely be back.“

“non breaded chicken. for allergy sensitive people......yay“

“Came here EARLY to secure my son’s favourite take-out meal for his schools ‘lunch on the lawn’. Even though it wasn’t lunchtime, they had my meal ready immediately so I could get back on the road. Leilani was supremely kind and packaged my son’s takeout bag extra special. 🙏🏼 It’s experiences such as these that often go unnoticed, and that society needs more of. Thank you Chick-fil-A Palm Desert 🙏🏼“

“I get Dave's Hot Chicken all the time from the Howell, MI location. absolutely amazing food!“

“Very delicious food! Super friendly“

“The people who work at both of their locations are always very friendly. They always get the order correct, they have a good attitude and they are very attentive. I like the Supreme Philly, my partner Luke's the Buffalo chicken Philly. Their Philippino food is always good too and so are their mini egg rolls. And the part I like the most is that the dining area is ALWAYS clean! ??“

“Great little mom and pop place. Very generous portion with the Chicken Cup with broccoli and some veggies and white rice. The chicken was lovely. I gave 5 stars for atmosphere…clean, compact space for dining in.100% satisfied. I will definitely come back.“

“So so so so so delicious! Love the tostada and salad bowls.“
