Love this spot! Paul is the man. Always has great energy the few times I've come in. He recommended I try the chicken with the honey one time and I can't eat it without it anymore! I'm sure the rest of the staff are awesome as well.

Excited to have Dave's Hot Chicken in town! Came on their grand opening day and they had some free swag which was cool. My usual is the 2 slider combo with cheese! Perfect to share and love that you can customize each slider's hotness level. Chicken is fried to perfection and pairs perfectly with the honey! Would recommend to any hot chicken fan!

The chicken here is seasoned so well and coated evenly it's the best and this is the third time coming and we just discovered you can add cheese sauce to your fries mind blown.

Bomb. Nice selection of spices and menu is easy to read Service is great and eating environment is open and customizable. Small groups, big groups. Doesn't matter. You'll have a good experience as long as you're not looking for a luxurious date in a quiet place. In nearly every other occasion, you'll be more than satisfied

Chicken sandwich was good , we went with median heat but definitely could've went hotter The service was on point, the guy that rang us up was so mid and professional, might've been the manager adding honey is must ! Vibe cool, just a quick bite type of place
