Best daves location ever, everyone is super nice and they gave me a rubber chicken. Tenders were fire

Best location ever? We’ll take it! And a rubber chicken? Sounds like you had the full VIP experience. Appreciate you, Ali!
Service is quick and the cashier was very friendly. The restaurant is very clean and has a nice ambiance with good music and good vibes. Definitely would recommend giving this place a try.
Business response:
Thanks for the shoutout, Kev! Fast service, good vibes, and a clean spot—that’s what we aim for. Hope to see you again soon!
The bites were so good and moist. The help was great at helping us decide what to order. The medium hot was a bit spicy for our taste. We liked the mild the best. We will definitely be back.
Business response:
Glad you enjoyed the bites, Craig! Medium can definitely bring some heat, but sounds like mild was the winner for you. Appreciate the love—hope to see you back soon!
First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and I wasn't expecting anything so I loved it!! The chicken was buttery with a kick! And the pieces were big! Lots of pickles if you like that! And Dave's sauce did not disappoint! Fries were good and seasoned! Instead of lettuce it's Cole slaw so that was different and delicious. Customer service was excellent, everyone was nice and took the time to explain the flavors and menu! I love the location and access! Not bad! Will come back! Good stuff! Definitely try it!
Business response:

I've been to many hot chicken spots but nothing compares to Dave's! The chicken is always hot,juicy, and tender. Spices are packed with flavor and have different heat levels for your liking. Forgot to mention the Dave's sauce and crispy fries which are a great compliment to the chicken !
Business response:
This is the kind of high praise we love! Hot, juicy, and packed with flavor—that’s what we aim for. Appreciate you calling out the fries and sauce too. Looking forward to your next visit!
