Stopped by Dave’s Hot Chicken in Oakland and had an awesome experience. The food was great. It was perfectly crispy chicken, flavorful seasoning, and heat levels that actually deliver. Everything came out fresh and hot. Big shoutout to our servers Arianna and Irirn. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made the visit even better. The conversation was genuinely great, not rushed, and made the whole experience feel more personal rather than just another quick stop. Between the quality of the food and the great service, this spot definitely lives up to the hype. Will absolutely be back.

First time customer. Ordered the Daves #1 (Hot) and the chicken was sooo juicy. Just the right level of spice. Highly recommend to pair it with the reaper ranch. Manager was so nice and checked in with us during our meal. Will definitely be coming back.

Food was aight. Expected higher quality from an Oakland business that’s just what’s up. Am I allergic to vegetables? Hell no but these portions insult me. The picture attached shows ALL the slaw on 2 “sliders” sandwiches. Kudos on the chicken, but I can find tendernism and care else where.

Wow dave’s how chicken is so amazing! The employees were very nice as well. Helped me to select a sandwich with mild taste not to hot not to plan. Really recommend it.
