Dave's was absolutely delicious! I love that you can get anything from zero spice to incredibly spicy. The sauce is the best part - make sure you get enough! The fries are seasoned perfectly.

I've been here a couple of times, and the chicken is excellent. The sliders have a slightly sweet bun and excellent coleslaw on top of them. The Dave's sauce is a real nice addition to fries and for the strips. The first time I wentI had the hot and it was decent. The second time I went I had the extra hot and the reaper. These were both extremely hot. I was sweating while eating them great spice, but I could still taste the chicken. H this is ighly recommend this place.

Easily the best fast food fried chicken! I've had KFC, Popeye's, and Chick-fil-A, and I think Dave's Hot Chicken is way better than any of them simply for the quality of the fried chicken (which is what it's all about, after all!). Dave's has a small menu - you basically choose between combinations of chicken tenders and sliders, with 7 levels of spiciness (HOT was just right for me). There's a bit more variety in the sides (fries, cheese fries, mac & cheese, and kale slaw). The fried chicken is exquisite! It comes out hot... read more

Wasn't like the best thing ever but we enjoyed ourselves. The normal chicken is spicy. The spicy chicken was too spicy. The lobby was not super inviting. I kind of wanted to leave right as soon as I got in there the employees were great though high energy.

Well, since I wasn't overly disappointed the first time, I decided to give the place a second try a while back. And just as I thought, ordering extra hot was a good step up from the spice level labeled as hot. Wasn't spicy enough to give me heartburn, which would've been desirable for something labeled "extra hot," however, it was at least spicy enough to have a better balance between the heat and other seasonings. And I will give Dave's Hot Chicken credit for at least turning out a pretty juicy and overall flavorful piece o... read more

That's a damn good little meal. Little steep on the price for an all the time quick dine but tasty.

Crinkle fries - ok soft pillowy good seasoning. Mediocre but works. Pickles Cisco. Bored. Dave's sauce is a less sour version of thousand island Chicken juicy. Breading crunchy but not overwhelming. It's like a chicken finger that was in the frier longer. Not Nashville hot chicken. Missing that chicken fat. Bun average. Slaw holds it all together. Extra hot got my attention but wasn't so spicy i needed water Staff energetic and nice.
