not so tasty, not worth the price of $25 for tenders, fries sandwich, mac and cheese and milkshake, the chicken looks so seasoned, yet it was bland mac n cheese - 4/10 (kfc) chicken - 0/10 fries - 6/10 sandwich - 1/10 milkshake - 3/10 hard pass

I was ecstatic to try Dave hot chicken but to be frank I was deeply disappointed. First the chicken was a bit sweet and I was surprised to taste that there was no spice on the chicken, hardly felt a tingle on my tongue(I ordered the medium heat) by the look of the chicken with the dark red color and red seasoning all over the chicken, this chicken looked like it was flesh ripped off the devil but tasted like sunshine and rainbows. I was expecting to be thrown of my chair looking for the nearest bottle of water but no it was ... read more

Chicken nuggets- medium flavor, were unappetizing and greasy. They had no taste at all, no spice either and reminded me of balls of grease. Although the cole slaw was good and fresh, I won't be returning as the chicken was not good.

Hard to find chicken like this in the area. Location is also hard to find as it is located in the end of a strip mall and goggle maps tells you to turn at the wrong location to access the parking lot. Great spicy chicken with tenders much bigger than Caine's. Wife had no spice I had Hot and Medium having never been here before, delicious. Kale Cole slaw was also delicious even though the container was half full, fries average, mac and cheese average. Nice building décor but this place was covered in grease from the floor to ... read more

Greasy, messy and altogether not appetizing. Chicken was OK, the hot was not edible. Every piece is a chicken finger whether on a sandwich or other. Expensive. Will not be back!

We can do way better! Would you be willing to connect with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc so we can get a second chance at earning those extra three stars? -Julie

It was just an Ok for me. It wasn't giving me that Nashville Hot Chicken Flavor. Overly priced. I really don't have much to say about this place. The service was good. Nice colorful wall art decor. Clean eating area. I ordered the 2 tenders (one with no spice and one lite mild) with fries. Nice size portion of the chicken. But, not worth the money. 

Business response:

Oh no! We're very sorry we let you down. We would like to make this right. Would you be willing to connect with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc so we can get a second chance to impress you? -Julie

Been seeing this place pop on my Facebook feed for a while and have had a lot of friends go here recently and talk about how good this place is. So I decided to give it a shot today because my whole family loves good chicken. I'm just gonna review mine. I ordered the Dave's #2 two sliders and fries. First the pictures online make it look amazing but when I looked inside my take out box, the chicken doesn't look as good. And then first bite, ok. After that it was all down hill. I had the extra hot but it was just too over sea... read more

i been wanting to try this place for a while and do not recommend it. no one will be missing out coming here. first off their was so much seasoning that me and my friend both could not taste the chicken itself; usually i like a good amount of flavor but this was over the top, about 4 layers of marinations with seasoning & spices. then the woman who took our order was rude af, she seemed angry she had to take our order & was in a rush with no one else in line. than when you walk in the place smells like body oder misting in y... read more
