Daves Hot Chicken - Novato (CA)

5 /5 Casey Lauer: I usually go to this place once or twice a month. It’s super convenient, right next to the freeway. The staff is always so friendly, and the dining room is always clean. And let me tell you, their chicken is consistently delicious! I love the medium spice option in the Dave’s Bites combo. The seasoning is just right - sweet, spicy, and not too overpowering. And the Dave’s Signature sauce is absolutely amazing! It pairs perfectly with the chicken and fries. I’ve never had a bad experience at this Dave’s location, and I’ve been here about a dozen times. I always look forward to lunch with my coworkers when it’s at Dave’s!

5 /5 flash gordon md: Their hot fried chicken is great! I went back three weeks in a row for the chicken thigh fillet. The third time, I tried the bone in thigh but prefer the fillet. The atmosphere is aimed at much younger people and the place is decorated with graffiti. But even though Im a very old fart, the workers as well as some of the clientele were friendly.

5 /5 Jianna Cereghino: My boyfriend and I FINALLY tried out this place and we couldn’t be more pleased. The cashier Joseph was really cool, he was very thorough with the menu board and was very welcoming. He gave me an extra lemonade after I asked about the lemonade prices but declined to switch out from a fountain drinks since our order was already placed. The environment is fun, food is delicious, and prices are fair!

5 /5 Katherine Paragas: I can’t say enough good things about Dave’s Hot Chicken. I’ve been stopping by during my lunch breaks, and every single visit has been consistently excellent. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I’m craving. You can tell they really care about quality. What truly sets this location apart, though, is the staff. Everyone is genuinely friendly, welcoming, and upbeat, even during busy times. They make the experience feel personal, not rushed, and that goes a long way in the middle of a workday. It’s rare to find a place that nails both great food and great service every time, but this team does it effortlessly. You can really feel the pride behind this family-owned business. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing food and an even better experience! This has easily become my go-to lunch spot!
