Dave has done it again, with a cauliflower not chicken slider - that has all the crunch, all the flavor, and all the bite of a hot chicken sandwich. This could be one of the best vegetarian sandwiches out. Even better than fake chicken, they keep the cauliflower firm, and they manage to bread it so that the breading and crunch stays on the cauliflower. This sandwich is a revelation, and I hope it stays on the menu. Bravo!

Very clean place, surprisingly only 1 other customer was in line. Which kinda annoyed me because I called to place the order and the recorded message says to "visit our website because the team members were busy and couldn't get to your call" r something like that (Was trying to order ahead). So I got the slider Hot and fries well done. Less the $11.00. Waited about 5 mins. got my order and as I got the bag I thought shoot this feels light. Probably should've ordered more. FRIES were on point, just enough salt and crispy. T... read more

Great food. Open late. Good prices. We go once a week. Two slider combo is great. We split it and it is plenty.

Right now there are hot chicken places popping up all over and Dave's seems to be leading the way in establishing storefronts. I visited this location for lunch. It's located in a large plaza so there is plenty of parking. I ordered their #4 - a single chicken slider (I added cheese) which comes with fries. You can choose your level of spiciness and I went with "mild". I also added a chocolate milkshake. You might assume a "slider" is small but what you get at Dave's is a full-size chicken sandwich. The chicken was tender ... read more

Simple, fresh, and fast with large portions. The quality of the food is very good for the cost. 2 adults ate for $24 with soft drinks. This blows Canes away. They have a wide variety of spiciness or even offer plain. I eat very spicy food (think habanero and above) and the hot level here was pleasing to me without causing face/head sweat but still hot enough to suit my preferences. If in doubt ask for a sauce sample before you order. Restrooms were clean and the staff was friendly. I'll be eating here again.

This is my favorite hot chicken place. Tenders are delicious, juicy, and made from real chicken breast. Breading is perfect, not too light or heavy. Spice levels are also good and you can still taste the flavor in the higher levels. Pickles with each order are nice, as is the bread. The thousand island colored sauce is good, but not amazing... usually don't use it. Doesn't add much flavor in my opinion. I really wish they used paper to-go products instead of styrofoam, though! I would order delivery from them a lot more i... read more
