Wow. Dave's hot chicken is indeed HOT. I stopped by around 7:30pm on a Saturday and the restaurant was packed. Based on other reviews saying Hot was not Spicy enough, I ordered the extra hot Dave's #3 Combo with 1 Tender, 1 Slider and Fries. Unfortunately, I regretted that decision as I was eating my slider because it was extremely spicy. I have always enjoyed spicy foods but this was so spicy that it was not enjoyable. It was a painful lesson learned but it was necessary. I would stick to HOT next time I come here and woul... read more

It's good. I got slider and tender meal. Fries are good. Medium heat was enough for me. Fair amount of food for the price.

This was my first time at this Dave's Hot Chicken. It was a Saturday at noon. I had planned on eating a salad somewhere else until those plans were horribly trashed. I orderd Dave's #3 which included 1 tender, 1 slider, bread, pickles and fries wih my selection of HOT preparation. Since there are six degrees of spices to choose from, there is no finished product sitting and ready to go. I enjoyed my meal while listening to Nena's 99 Luft Balloons and watching people wait. I took many napkins. I needed more. It was very mess... read more

Likely an unpopular opinion, this is a stretch to 3.5, rounding down The Hells Kitchen location is on bustling 8th Ave, so you get all the glory of tourists, trash and more as you walk to this spot. It's a mid-sized restaurant with maybe seating for 20 or so and some counter space. I opted to leave bc it was a hot spring day and too stuffy for me. Re: food, I did the #1 combo that gets two tenders, fries and some bread. - The dry rub sauces are clearly there thing, so choose accordingly. I did two separate heat levels to ... read more

This was a seriously good meal of chicken. A *strong* 4-star review. I like heat, so I ordered a #3 with one tender and one slider Extra Hot. For me, the Extra Hot was the perfect level of heat. Left me sniffling and eyes a little runny, but very very tasty and just the right level of spicy. The chicken was tender and cooked well. I'll say that if you really like heat, the tenders are probably hotter than the sliders. It's the same chicken and spice, but the sliders come with pickles, slaw, sauce and bun and that helps mo... read more

Business response:

Yes! Our hottest spice levels are crazy but also very tasty! Thanks for the love Danny!

Honestly a little disappointed. I love fried chicken and saw the good reviews for this place so decided to try it out. The fries were really good, but the chicken had a weird texture. It almost looked a little bit like fish. I kind of lost my appetite while eating the 2nd slider. Their special sauce is good and I also thought it was good value for the price. Chicken just wasn't that good in my opinion.

It kinda blew me away, how good this chicken breast sandwich and fries are, and to think it all started in some parking lot out in CA. Ive been back many times since and it's routinely solid. Addictive. 

Business response:

It's so crazy, right??? Thanks for the support!
