This ain't it. Ordered 2 chicken Sandwiches with fries. No cole slaw nor sauce just cheese. I told them Mild. There was too much seasoning despite that. Chicken, fries the meal was good but there's too much rub. Unnecessary. It ruined the meal. BEWARE tell them no rub might as well because I ordered Mild & there rub overtook everything.

I wish I took a photo of our meals yesterday but when I tell you, I took one bite and threw it away. I'm being genuinely honest I didn't even give it away to a homeless person because it was so bad. My mind was boggling with how this place is even in business, when there are so many wonderful chicken places and other eateries in the city. It was just this paprika powdered bite. The flavor was so funky and it was on everything. It was on the fries. It was on the chicken. The only thing that tasted somewhat OK was the french... read more

Was really craving a good hot chicken sandwich so thought I'd try out Dave's. Honestly, could barely eat it. Was greasy and the flavor just wasn't there. Wouldn't get again.

At first glance the food looked amazing. Turns out food was mid at best. SUPER salty and DRY. WAIT time was about 30 mins. Dirty they don't clean the store. I now have diarrhea because of this establishment. Thank you Dave's Hot Chicken for the garbage experience!

The outside of the tender is seasoned, but the inside it is bland, no flavor what so ever. The fries are just fries. The customer service was excellent. The place was small but decorated nicely.

The staff was very nice and the restaurant clean. The food was fresh .... but we just didn't like it. The chicken portion was decent but the fry portion wasn't - not for the price (way too small). The mac and cheese was watery (oily?) and pasta too soft. The fries were ok but I didn't like the seasoning. It has a sweetness to it I just didn't care for. Now the chicken ... I thought the seasoning would be mixed in the batter. But instead it's like a dust or powder on the chicken. I got the medium and it had so much of... read more

Good chicken. But... a 45 min wait for what is essentially fast food at their 85th st location. This is so poorly managed and the kitchen does not have their act together. 4 people up front only 2 on the back and 50 people waiting agitated Advice: try ordering on-line. Oh, they also got the order wrong. Words of warning. There is a HUGE difference between their Medium and Hot as far as spiciness. One is delicious, one will have you drenched in sweat. Make sure they get your order right!

I mean i think the hype they created around it hurt it to begin with. The chicken itself has no flavors. It all comes from the dust they throw on it and then throw the exact same dust on the fries. its an oppressive amount of salt and "dave's sauce" is a just chortle mayo and not that great either. I will say they get a 2 because their employees were great, and they deserve recogmition.

Not sure how three tenders 2 no seasoning (no bread on any) turned into 2 tenders medium and two hot tenders with fries? All had bread...nothing can turn me off more than not getting my order right so two stars
