We finally got a chance to try this place out after hearing about all the hype. We tried last weekend but the lineup was super long and went all the way around the corner of the restaurant. Today as we arrived there was no lineup outside. Perfect timing !! We ordered the combo #1 (reaper), combo #2 (extra hot) and combo #3 (no spice). The chicken tasted so good. The reaper was super hottt !! Not for those with low spice tolerance. I think the extra hot is perfect for me giving the best compromise for spice while st... read more

Came here with my husband opening weekend..to say the least was disappointed by the food. Had Dave Hot Chicken previously on a trip and was excited about finally have a location in Toronto. We live on the east end so we made the 1hr trek downtown and waited about 30-40mins in line before ordering. Staff was friendly and nice ambiance but not sure if they messed up our order the spice level just wasn't there for me. Food was slightly cold as well.

I've been to Dave's Hot Chicken twice now. The first time, it was okay, but I think much of the experience reflected some opening jitters. The second time I went was great. The chicken was fresh and all of the sides were fantastic. Staff were vigilant about enforcing COVID-19 safety protocols, and service was still fast despite this. Just a warning, Dave's Hot Chicken is waaaay hotter than you would assume. Mild is spicy. Medium is very spicy. Hot is more spicy than anything I've ever had. Enjoy with caution. 5/5 

Business response:

Jeremy - 3 stars?? We would love another opportunity to be better for you. Would you be willing to connect with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc so we can get a second chance to impress you? - Julie C.

Ever since my wife and I found out that Dave's hot chicken was coming to Toronto we couldn't wait to try it again after enjoying it on our trip in LA a couple years ago. But we were quite disappointed when we got our food. The staff there were quite friendly and did the best they can especially with all the covid restrictions that were in place, but I'm not sure if it's just the location but the food was not to par of what we've had at their LA location. We ordered the tender and slider combos and although the chicken wasn't... read more
