I didn't eat inside the restaurant, there really isn't that much space inside to eat. The restaurant was clean and decorated as any regular NYC restaurant is. There was no line, and the cashier who took my order was friendly. Ordered a vanilla shake and some chicken tenders and waffle fry combos. The chickens have different levels of heat. I did mild cuz I'm a , my partner when with hot. It was so good, I'm not usually a fan of spicy, but this was flavorful and spicy. So my mouth kinda burned, but I was definitely licking... read more

Dave's hot chicken isn't really spicy if you can handle it. Their chicken is always juicy. I enjoy the slider a lot which comes with a slaw and soft bun. The chicken tender comes with a slice of bread and pickles. The Dave sauce is a nice dipping sauce and get some honey too. The combo comes with fries but you can substitute it with Mac and cheese. Both of these sides are good, depending what I prefer to eat for the day. The service is quick, there are a lot of people working in the kitchen. The shop is small with really cut... read more

Food is great, reaper isn't as hot as everyone says. Skye was such a wonderful presence in this establishment

The chicken is overly seasoned, but moist and juicy. It's good to try the first time, but to keep going back to it is nothing special.

I was in the area after my yoga class and was looking for something to eat. Lo and behold, I found this place. I must have entered about 11:30am, so it wasn't crowded. Barry was the counter person. He greeted me as soon as I walked in. He was very pleasant and professional. He was honest about the level of hotness/ heat levels. Very polite and made all customers feel welcomed without being phony. The place is very clean and a good amount of seating. I ordered take out. I had the two tenders and it comes with one side, th... read more

Fine for what it is. The hot chicken is spicy for sure. But real Nashville hot chicken isn't as oily as it is here. Other than that, the food tastes good. But it's also pretty expensive.

For someone who doesn't like hot sauce anything, coleslaw AND really spicy food, this place is pretty damn good. We've tried this place twice, and have had nothing but great things to say. First time was in store when we were eating our way through DT Brooklyn and second time was an online order from the Bay Ridge restaurant, where it's much closer to us. We drove by this location accidentally the day before and my husband was really excited that we don't have to drive further out for some hot chicken. I didn't go inside the... read more

Food is good but come on now, so stingy on the fries. :( Maybe it depends on the person who preps the food.....because the first time when I went, the food was hot (in temperature) and the fries were well and evenly seasoned and there was a good amount of it. I'm a bit disappointed this time.

We'd really love a second chance to earn those 2 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie
