Been waiting for years since I saw an instagram ad for them, but they were still only in LA at that point, across the country. It was everything I was hoping for, just so delicious, crispy, and spicy. I wish it was closer to where I am but I'm glad it wasn't because I'd be there too much for my own health.

So, I am a big fan of extra spicy food. And this place did not disappoint. I was in Austin for the past month and searched for some hot Nashville Chicken. This place popped up, but the closest location was San Antonio. Not driving an hour for that, especially since I saw some Yelp reviews from my Yelp peeps in Albany. Nonetheless, I put this on my first place to enjoy when I returned to Albany. Well, I must say it was a challenging return, not because of the flights. They were perfect, but it broke my heart seeing a... read more

please please lessen the salt on the chicken and fries. This restaurant could be so awesome if there was half less salt on the food. Flavors are great! 

Business response:

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

New hot place! Located on Western by the SUNY campus, this is the it place apparently. Super busy parking lot. We ordered online takeout. A very limited menu so the items they have, they make them well. Choose your hotness! I got medium tenders and fries. Even the fries have a kick. I ordered the two tenders and they are huge! I could only eat one and some of the fries. They give you a good amount of crinkle cut fries. The tenders come on bread with pickles and a side of Dave's sauce. The sauce taste like big Mac sauce kind... read more

It's definitely hot! I was pretty happy with the food from this new spot. The chicken was flavorful, surprisingly moist and tender, and yes, hot. I got the medium and it was just tolerable but I usually get mild when it comes to things with this type of spice so I wasn't too surprised. Although I'm not sure what the Reaper is like!! It's definitely loaded with spices, but I didn't find it overwhelming as that's the style of Nashville hot. Dave's sauce was delicious and the fries and mac n' cheese were decent. One slider with... read more
