Chicken is very bland. The dry rub on the chicken has a bit of sweetness that throws me off a bit. The only thing that saves the chicken sandwich is the coleslaw. Other than that I do not recommend if you are used to SEASONED chicken because you will be disappointed.

Apologies for any disappointment caused during your visit. We'd love to make it right. Please visit dhcfeedback.com to share your concerns and help us improve. Thank you.

My wife and I didn't care for the taste of the Chicken. We were disappointed. There are other fast food chains who've we tried with much better tasting Chicken. What is the source of the Chicken. Is it free range, organic or is it Chicken mixed with a filler? 

Business response:

Sorry our chicken didn’t hit the mark for you. If you’d like to share more, reach out at dhcfeedback.com. We’d love to hear your thoughts and try to make your next experience better.

I went to the Wayne New Jersey restaurant and the customer service was terrible and it took me and my family 45 minutes to get 3 meals and when I asked the employees what is the wait for she replied with an attitude and the food quality wasn't good it was cold and I got no sauces even though I asked for a bunch 

Business response:

We’re sorry to hear about the long wait, poor service, and the issues with your order. This isn’t the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll address this with the team. Please visit dhcfeedback.com so we can follow up and make this right.

Utterly disappointed with what I was served at my first visit. My expectations were pretty high due to the hype around Dave's Hot Chicken but I was pretty let down. The employees were very kind but the food was pretty bland. The chicken didn't taste fresh and my fries were barely seasoned. Hopefully if I ever spin back i'll update but for now this gets a 5.5/10

Update: DO NOT COME HERE, CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS YET AGAIN! I posted a previous review talking about my experience at Dave's Hot Chicken and how they refused to give me and my fiance a free slider on the 24th for the Drake Birthday promotion after 9pm. The store contacted me and gave me a $10 food voucher redeemable at any location, which I appreciated. I went back to the 56th location today (walking 2 miles yet again) to use the voucher. I ordered a slider and tender combo, but when the cashier tried to enter the code I ha... read more

Went for the free slider that said it was ending at 10:44, and employees said it ended at 9:00 and I was too late ??

The line was so long today and there was no real effort on the staff's part to make the line go faster. Only taking 3-5 customers. I waited an hour and half for my chicken sandwich. The sandwich is just okay. If you want a quality chicken sandwich go across the street to Sophie's Cuban Cuisine. It is worth noting the slushy options are tasty. Inside the restaurant has no bathroom but a decent amount of seating. I wouldn't go back. The wait time was disappointing. It was obvious the staff did not want to give out the sandwich... read more

Business response:

I’m sorry to hear that the wait time and service didn’t meet expectations. Waiting an hour and a half for a sandwich is far from the experience we want for our guests, and it sounds like we could have done more to manage the line efficiently. We’re glad to know the slushies were a highlight, but we’d like to address the issues you mentioned and make it up to you. Please reach out to us at dhcfeedback.com so we can look into this further. Thank you for sharing your feedback; it helps us work toward a better experience for eve... read more

chicken was decent quality but was very expensive and really had no flavor other than salt. would not go again. I'll spent half as much and go to popeyes next time.

I ordered for the first time here and normally I look for an ingredient list when ordering from new places, but couldn't find one on the Dave's website. I can't have cilantro/coriander (I'm one of those annoying people with the genetic hatred of it) but decided to take the chance and order. The moment I walked in the store, I knew I wouldn't be eating the food. It reeked of coriander in there! I call it my "lame superpower." One taste of the chicken dry rub and I had to trash the whole thing, sadly. In-store ingredient list ... read more
