The food was good I wasn't really a fan of the flavors but the fries were good. Service was friendly and helpful with deciding which heat level to pick. There is plenty of seating as long as it's not a busy night.

Had a great experience at Dave's Hot Chicken thanks to Maria! She went above and beyond to help me with my order, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. Her customer service was truly amazing super friendly, professional, and welcoming. I ended up getting the boneless wings and they were absolutely amazing perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Shoutout to Maria for making the whole visit even better. Definitely coming back!

Every time I go I just get blown away with how good the food is. This is the best chicken I have ever had and the service is always the best. The last time I went an employee named Miranda was behind the counter and did a great job and got are food out to us almost the moment we had finished filling are drinks.
