The chicken was tooooo salty, when I asked the staff why it was very salty he just said that it was they way it was! This is really ridiculous, waste of money that I need to throw it.

Dave's Hot Chicken??? More like Dave's NOT HOT Chicken. Had been wanting to try this place out since it first opened and I was super excited to finally try it out with my boyfriend. We got the 2 sliders combo, one with Mac and Cheese and one with fries. That excitement quickly turned to disappointment. We got Lite Mild, Mild, Medium, & Hot for the sliders and they all tasted exactly the same. No spice at all just BLAND. The fries tasted completely unseasoned and STALE. My Kraft macaroni & cheese from home tastes like a 10 co... read more

My siblings and I went to this Dave's location to get the free tenders/sliders promo for Drake's Birthday. However, we were told the promo ended at 8:30pm, when the Instagram posts say that the promo was valid from 11am-9p, FOR ALL LOCATIONS. When we asked why they wouldn't give us the free chicken, the employee responded "We're a different franchise than the other Dave's." ... that's not how franchises work !! I'm very upset by this. They displayed tremendous amounts of unprofessionalism, ignoring us as we explained that th... read more

Totally buss. We ordered ahead and waited around 10 minutes total for scalding hot chicken. I can't really take spicy, so when they said hot chicken they meant HOT. The temperature of my shoes after sprinting to the toilet after this can attest.

I got the medium spicy chicken tenders and was surprised the flavor of the seasoning is sweet and way over seasoned. I prefer raising canes with some Louisiana hot sauce added to it for spice. There is no reason to add sugar and overkill seasoning. I almost felt nauseous because it is over seasoned with "red mystery powder".

Food didn't taste bad but I paid $15 for a combo and it doesn't even include a drink. This food joint doesn't meet the standards. I recommend Raising Canes or Chick-fil-A if you want good chicken at a value price. If Dave's lowers its prices a bit and includes a drink I may consider it again, but for now I'll stay away.

The food is great. The music is way too loud. If you want good food and a headache, this is your place. I promise, the music is so loud and terrible, you will be happy you left.
