Dave's Hot Chicken is located by Independence Mall next to Masa sushi. Waited in a long line on their grand opening day, but their staff tried to make the line go as fast as possible. After you place your order with the cashier, wait until your number is called and then sit anywhere inside. There is also outdoor seating. Cool colorful graffiti is painted all over the walls inside. They were pretty fast in getting my order of two sliders and one side ready. Everything was automatically served in to-go boxes. Downsides are t... read more

When we heard there was a new hot chicken chain coming to Wilmington, we knew we wanted to try it ASAP. We decided to take a chance and show up on opening day and arrived around 11:30am. The wait was about 40 minutes, but once we ordered the food came out super fast. It's definitely a little pricey, but even though you only get "two tenders" it's actually a good amount of food with the sides. I think they handled opening day pretty well, only letting in a few guests at a time and managing the line to keep it from getti... read more

Every time we try this place it is a train wreck. Long long long cook time. Waited 20-25 minutes for one tender empty place.

The girl working FOH was very sweet but everything else about this experience was really disappointing. My friend and I ordered at 5pm & both got a chicken sandwich and one of the breaded mozzarella things. Around 5:35, we noticed customers being turned away at the counter, being told that they "weren't taking orders" with no further explanation given. The restaurant wasn't overly busy at all, there were maybe 8-10 of us in total in there, including people who had already received their food and were eating. It ended up taki... read more

Daves Hot Chicken Corporation sold for a Billion dollars this summer. I had to check it out! Food - greasy, flavorless, fries cold. No grilled option, no salad. Service- I came in on crutches, tipped 15% and sat outside. No one bothered to run out food to the table or check on us. Ambiance - sat outside because inside lacked character and was very sterile, no music outside...nothing redeeming about it. Value - got two #3's and one tea. Cost us $38.50. Most meals at Chix filet are around $10......half of what we spent. ... read more

From the time I walked in the door it took 40 minutes for me to get 2 tenders, food is not worth the price at all, for five dollars per tender you're way better off getting a chic fil a sandwich. And the music was on full blast the entire time, so loud you can barely hear yourself think.
