Dave's Hot Chicken is really good if you like spicy food and crispy fried chicken. The chicken is juicy, the sliders are flavorful, and you can choose how spicy you want it, which makes it fun to try different heat levels. Overall, it's a great spot for fast, tasty food, but it can be really spicy if you're not used to hot food.

We love their chicken sliders! Usually order their chicken slider and their two tender meals with medium heat. It's got quite a kick! Plenty of food at a reasonable price too. Love their crunchy seasoned fries as well. Many times that I've been there, the line is out the door. A lot of people order online as well. We waited for over half an hour for our orders the last time we were there. Everyone working there is pretty nice, especially the lady taking the orders. Small location with limited seating inside but there ar... read more

FEAR THE REAPER! That is a level of heat not to be trifled with. I'm not a super Scoville champion, but I do enjoy some spice. Medium and Hot are comfortable, Extra Hot is on the edge of my enjoyability, but Reaper is a substantial step up. I could only do one bite and I was cartoonishly aflame. Reminded me exactly of trying a smidge of raw ghost pepper. The heat builds with no end in sight from just one exposure. Love the chicken, love the kale slaw, love the sauce. Every chicken piece is huge and cooked to perfection.

I recently tried Dave's Hot Chicken and it was honestly really good. The mozzarella sticks were amazing, super crispy on the outside and perfectly cheesy on the inside. Definitely a must-order if you go. For the chicken, I recommend getting the Medium heat. I tried the Hot level and it was burning my whole mouth. Lol, so medium is a much better balance of flavor and spice. Another nice touch is that the meal comes with bread, which helps balance out the spice and makes the meal feel more complete. The place gets pretty crowd... read more

Stopped in for lunch and ordered a slider with fries and drink. The chicken is really good and the fries too. Definitely spicy if you go that route. The service could definitely use some additional training on taking and fulfilling orders. It took a long time to get my small order.....it is fresh and hot though which is great....but I waited over 20 minutes which is just wrong. Inside could use some re-fresh for sure. Limited tables and not even well thought out for people that are waiting for orders. But the one thing great... read more

I have been here many times since they opened. I have been 5 times since February so that tells you the frequency that I go to Dave's. Food is always good. Today I picked up 2 meals, 1 chicken Mac and spent 50 bucks. When I went to pick it up the person at the counter said I could only have 3 honeys which has never happened. Shook it off cause honey is at home. Get home and open then bag and the spice levels are wrong. Not thrilled with the service and will be taking a break for a long time.
