Very average for a hot chicken place. The medium slider lacked flavor and the hot slider had so much dry spice on it that it was over the top and unenjoyable. The side of fries was very small with too much seasoning. I'm confident I'd rather take my fat ass to chick-fil-a for their spicy chicken sandwich. I'll leave 3 stars as not to be rude but it's really a 2.5 star place. Dude S over and out.

I'm in love! I was in the area on vacation and we don't have these where I live so I decided to stop in and try it. I ordered a party tray because I figured 10 tenders isn't that much food for two people (especially without any sides), but boy I was way wrong about that. The tenders here are HUGE! We got half the tray at the medium spice and the other half hot. My girlfriend enjoyed the medium, but the hot was more my style. The chicken was juicy and the seasoning was the perfect blend of spiciness and a little sweetness. I ... read more

Great addition to takeout (or eat in) chicken fare! Pick you hot level. Massive but tender.... ahhhh, tenders! Sliders are excellent, as are the fries and coleslaw. Yeah, I'm going back!

Visited again last week, place was not like the last, trash was not overflowing and tables were clean. We enjoyed this visit much more than last time.

This is a mixed review because overall flavor and juiciness of the chicken is on point but I'm questioning the "hot" in dave's hot chicken! I can definitely handle a good amount of spice so the first time I went I got a medium and a hot. I did my research and was expecting my mouth to be on fire with hot. But my experience was very much not. Flavor was good but minimal heat! I thought maybe I need to up it. So I decided to try again.. came back today for the extra hot and I swear this "extra hot" was more mild than the mediu... read more

Love the chicken. Little trick I found was if you just want the chicken without the fries and coleslaw, you can order them individually (it's small print on the menu that's basically hidden) and it's cheaper. One of the staff members introduced me to putting their honey on the chicken, sooo good!

We are so glad you enjoyed your visit and appreciate you taking the time to post a review! -Julie
