Dave's Hot Chicken Pacific Beach

Stopped by right after landing in San Diego for a week-long conference with a group of 5 hungry and tired men after a 5-hour flight and I must say Dave's just hit the spot with the comfort food for us all! The chicken was hot, tender and delicious - it was my first time trying Dave's and there's definitely nothing like it! I like that the menu's small so it makes choosing easier, especially for the indecisive folk like myself. I was too *chicken* to try a higher spice level so I stuck to the Medium. Each meal comes with a generous portion of food, often hard to finish! I liked it so much I can back before the end of the trip for another round. The chicken served here is halal, they have a certificate on the board just by the cashier as well. The staff is friendly and service is fast too. And you get honey with the chicken too - is that to cope with the spice?!

No doubt about it, the chicken is definitely hot. I had the second most hot option and my mouth was scorching at the end of it 🥵 The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. It was well packaged, the fries were crispy, the location was clean. I will definitely be visiting again; I’m really impressed with the quality of this restaurant.

We absolutely love this place. The chicken breasts are a decent size. I find the hot level options great. The coleslaw on the sliders is very tasty and I normally can't stand coleslaw. The pickles are yummy as well. Don't forget to dip your fries in the Dave's house sauce. Very filling meal.
