Dave’s Drip House x J's Hot Chicken — Restaurant in Goleta

I absolutely love Dave’s Drip House—and now with the new chicken concept added inside the shop, it’s even better!

My go-to treat is the Dole Whip because it brings back memories of Disneyland. Their ice cream is also top-notch. Every time I visit, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. No matter how busy it gets, I’ve never had to wait long.

I recently tried their new chicken and was seriously impressed. I just had a chicken finger with their homemade dipping sauce, and it was incredible. The chicken was perfectly cooked—super juicy and flavorful.

Honestly, there’s no comparison to any other chicken spot in town. This is hands-down the best. It's a bit of a hidden gem, but Dave really hit it out of the park with this...

Dave’s drip house serves up delicious ice cream and friendly service. We dropped in for an ice cream because we heard it is good. We were greeted by friendly young women who answered all of our questions with a smile. I went overboard and ordered a sundae. It was huge with generous toppings. It was an absolutely delicious super bomb. Loved it. It was not cheap mind you, but what is these days? The shop is a basic ice cream shop. Nothing special by way of decoration except maybe the giant ice cream sandwich looking swing? We loved Dave’s and will return. Perhaps a dog for lunch followed by a scoop?...

First time coming to this place. Kids got ice cream and they had many size options. They actually have a kids size which is great. We got a strawberry and banana funnel cake. The strawberries had a bad taste and did not look fresh may have been from a jar. The funnel cake overall ok. We also got a churro sandwich but make sure to eat within 5 mins or else the hot churros will melt ice cream. We ate in the parking lot and it wasn’t even past 8 mins that it fully melt. We will try again and give it a try again. We will see if...
