I loved it!! The bun was great, chicken was nicely seasoned loved their signature sauce the pickles and slaw definitely added to the flavor-I got mine with cheese. The chicken was super tender and juicy-not oily either. So I had been wanting to try them ever since they opened up in Toronto and I'm glad I did. So here's the deal when you eat their food you can instantly tell it's a franchise quality you can't compare it to a place like Chen Chen. The fries too as you can see don't look homestyle but overall I loved it. ... read more

Got take out with 2 friends since we happened to walk by. We all came to the same consensus that it was GOOD, but a bit too salty. I liked the flavour/seasoning but it wasn't my favourite. I also thought that the price for 1 tender was a bit much ... But I wasn't expecting it to come with bread, pickles, and sauce which definitely made it more worth it! I think the single tender is a good snack, definitely better than grabbing a snack at McDonald's for the same price. Also their tender + sandwich combo is a great deal! ... read more

The chicken is awesome. Seasoned really well, super juicy. The price is a little too much for what you're getting in my opinion but that being said the quality of chicken was great. We got a combo #3 which is 1 tender, 1 slider, and fries. We added another tender. Drinks aren't included in the combos. Fries were okay. I definitely recommend eating it as soon as you get it because the colder the food is the less enjoyable it is. The spice level was enjoyable. We got the "hot" level and if you can tolerate spice it's a great... read more

Location: Does Dave know they are located ACROSS the street from a food bank? I live right near there, so the first day they opened was ironic. Yes, massive lineup for $20 pieces of chicken at the SAME time that there was a lineup on the other side of the street of people who need to get handouts from the food bank!! Did the socialite/owner think about that? As other people stated, I hate their non-recyclable packaging. When walking to Dave's, it was littered all over the street. Maybe there is something "green" about the ... read more

Updated Review Since I had a meh experience the first time with Dave's Hot Chicken, I was invited back to try them again. This time there wasn't a massive uncoordinated lineup wrapping around the building which was nice Had the sliders combo, with 2 sliders, fries, kale slaw, pickles, and Dave's sauce. This time we wanted to see if the mild had a little kick to it (had medium and hot the first time). I had instant regrats as the mild had no kick at all, and wished I chose medium instead lol. This time the fries weren't s... read more
