First time trying after seeing the hype for this place on social media for years. If you have had hot chicken anywhere close to the south, don't waste your time or money. Small pieces of dry rubbed chicken with cayenne for heat served on stale bread. Fries weren't crisp and seemed to have sat in warmers. Overall very disappointed and won't be back. All hype and you can tell by the crowd inside it is just a social media influenced outing. I don't see it lasting very long in the area especially when the other popular chai... read more

Unfortunately, I was not able to click on that link. I think you have all the potential to be a good chicken place. I just have a few critiques like don't be scared to cook the chicken at six minutes. Don't worry about it being pink. You want it to come out juicy.

Not what I expected. There was a lot of seasoning on the chicken and it was dry. I ordered it mild. The fries were over seasoned and salty. I also ordered the mac and cheese, which was the better part of the meal. It was expensive! $13 for two chicken strips, bread, pickles and mac and cheese. This morning my hands ache like they do when I eat MSG. I don't see the draw to this place. Cute logo. I don't think it will be around long. I might be wrong because people also think In and Out is great. Save your money an... read more

An hour in the drive thru - I understand it's highly anticipated but the end result according to my wife was not worth it. She was not impressed and we won't be going back anytime soon.

We're always open to trying new places...this was the first and last time to come here...honestly thought it was gross. So salty, and heavily breaded. Couldn't stomach it. Sorry Dave's...it's a no for me.

Way salty! Would not recommend and won't be back. Staff was not friendly and was in the way when trying to move about the seating area.

That being said, we would LOVE a second opportunity to impress you.

Best chicken I have ever had! So good and fresh very busy inside and drive thru yet they were very fast with getting food out, went there last week and have been thinking about it everyday since! Lol can't wait to go back!! Really the best chicken ever! (And I don't say that lightly cuz I'm usually an asshole that can find something wrong with just about anything..)
