I've rewritten this a few times so I'll keep it short: Pros: Chicken quality for boneless is high. Dining room is clean and staff is very helpful and friendly. Pricing is reasonable ($15 for combo + drink). Good variety of spice options and heat index is legit Cons: The menu is boring as 'hot chicken' is all over the place now. There is not much unique here. Also the spice style is more of a dried seasoning versus sauce so the sodium can choke you out a bit. Parking lot is problematic, and as a topical gripe the POS has a ... read more

The chicken was great, I recommend the hot level of heat. The service was great and our cashier Sage was really helpful. He explained the menu very nicely.

Atmosphere fun and upbeat. Clean and friendly. Had to sign a waiver to order Dave's Reaper hot chicken. Texture on the chicken and fries was perfect. CHICKEN IS DRY RUBBED NOT SAUCED. If you are wanting to prove your metal on the HOT chicken, you have been warned. That chicken has not been basted in reaper sauce but coated in reaper powder. These are two entirely different affects. Only thing here I don't recommend would be the milkshake (real ice cream) is brain freeze in a cup that would come in 2nd to soft serve every ti... read more

First time going here. Did the drive thru and ate at home. Travel time was about 20 minutes so it wasn't as fresh as if we'd had stayed to eat. That being said it was very good. Not sure why they use the term slider it's a chicken sandwich no question. Fries are well seasoned and delicious. Dave's sauce is real good the pickles were FANTASTIC! And the milk shakes were also tasty. No complaints at all about the food. The decor inside looked fun and inviting. The people running drive thru were fantastic and friendly. Helped us... read more

Love Dave's Hot Chicken! Their quality has been consistent in both of my takeout and delivery experiences. The spice levels can get spicy real quick, so I recommend exercising caution if heat is not your thing. It can get quite busy during peak hours for both drive through and dine-in, so expect a bit of wait. The service is always quick and friendly! Super clean inside and ample indoor seating if you don't want to sit outdoors.

The chicken tenders were cooked very nicely. Juicy and tender. The powder spice is a bit bizarre, but all in all, tasty.

I went by for free slider day and wasn't disappointed. I got the free slider (quite large as far as tiny sandwiches go) made "light heat". It was a notch above mild and had enough heat for me; although I often try the full heat too. The piece of thick chicken was as big as any very large chicken tender. Meaty and somewhat juicy, it was good. The pickles added to the flavor but were a bit mushy. The brioche bun was great but didn't hold together the whole time I was eating. There was another sauce on the bun that seemed to b... read more

It was good, but they put a ton of seasoning on the chicken. You might really like that but it wasn't my favorite. Overall a really good experience though.

Don't walk to this place, RUN! Compliment to the chef. My wife and I ordered #3 to try the sliders and the strips. It was out of this world. The slider was juicy. Full of flavor. Spicy as we liked the hot sauce. The bun was soft and buttery. Loved the fries and the pickles. The chicken strip was large well cooked and quite tasty. Don't miss this spot. Its the real spot for fried and hit chicken. These three guys did their homework before opening. Hooray! Will be back soon.
