Stopped for lunch due to all the hype. Got the slider and fries for $10. I know they get a lot of 5 stars here on Yelp. I dont get it. Here is the thing. It's a chicken nugget in a finger roll. A snack at best. And the fries tasted like frozen reheats, and there weren't very many. I give it 3 stars because I always round up.

I love this place. Somehow it survives the 45-60 minute doordash ride and is still very good when it arrives. I go with medium spice on the chicken and it's perfect for me. Hot was just a bit too spicy. But it's all so good. I love a dry spice rather than a saucy spice. Fries are great and the sauce is great. Make sure you get some honey to drizzle!!

Best chicken sandwiches ever ! Always hot and fresh . The slaw is incredible and the spice level is spot on ! Ambiance is absolutely amazing, modern with graffiti and black lights. Staff is always friendly and on point. They suggested I start at medium heat level based on what I told them and it was perfect. The fries are also incredible, Nice crispy crinkle cut. Let's not forget about DAVES SAUCE !! The sauce alone I would rate 5 stars .

My friend brought a Reaper Roulette Slider pack to a party. I got the reaper. I have a high spice tolerance and this was the first time in a decade that I actually thought something was spicy. Washed it down with two glasses of milk. It's pretty darn good, and a really fun game to play.

Quick service and great chicken! Went with the combo #3 with medium heat which gives you a tender and slider. Fries were crispy and the dipping sauce had awesome flavor. Also ordered a side of Mac and cheese which was extremely creamy, but the cup was barely filled half way. Would definitely come back the next time I'm in the area to up the heat a notch and try the hot flavor in a combo.

Great food and service. While they are known for hot chicken, I am glad they offer the no spice option - that is my favorite. I also like their vanilla milkshake. It is easy to order on their website for a quick pickup. I recommend stopping by.

A terrific fast-casual fried chicken spot! I have heard a co-worker rave about this place, and one Sunday decided to venture out. While it may not be worth a frequent half-hour drive, they are doing their thing right. The menu is kept simple, and the focus is on expertly preparing chicken (well, and fries too). I ordered a single slider, "hot," and a side of fries. A slider is filled with a single tender. As such, it fills just about 75% of the sandwich. Reason enough to get a #3 next time! (#3 = one slider + one tender + ... read more
