GET RID OF YOUR PLASTIC BAGS!!! Service could definitely be improved but I guess it's worth it cause the it was all delicious. Vibes are weird but no biggie if you are just trying to get a solid fried chicken sandwich!

I was so excited watching this place being built out. Someone really invested in this spot. Unfortunately after the third time I gave them a chance, I couldn't do it again. Not bad. But definitely not good. I bought all of my employees lunch from them the last time. The best praise I got was that it was "alright". Several, meaning more than three of them, didn't enjoy the food at all. Oh well. Lots of chicken in town, but not from here.

We had just finished up a show at Fox Theater, and with a quick search on Yelp, we saw there was Dave Hot Chicken within a short walking distance so we decided to give a try. They have a bunch of different spice levels, so we went with HOT on the sliders, Extra Hot on the tenders, and we went for one slider at their hottest level, Reaper, which you have to sign a waiver for. First impression, the slider was easily my favorite. The size of a single slider is basically the size of a normal chicken sandwich. The bread was s... read more

WOW! Sounds like our reaper didn't even phase you! LOL Well we appreciate you taking the time to post this great review. If you have an extra minute would you mind connecting with us at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc to tell us how we could have earned that fifth star?

This is THE best hot chicken I've ever had. Dave's hot is always ready fairly quick, the price is right, and the location is very convenient to me. The building is in a very populated area, so parking can be a but tough at times, but the food is absolutely worth the patience you may need to circle the block for a spot. I usually place my order online & it's ready in no more than 10-15 minutes. The dining area is casual & fun, and the servers are always kind 

Business response:

Wow! Sounds like we killed it! Thank you so much for takin the time to stop by and share your experience with us!

This one exceeded my expectations. The outside of the restaurant is a little rough, but I was surprised by the food though! I got one "reaper" and one extra hot sandwich. I like it spicy and the reaper was actually very spicy! Extra hot was good too. The food was cooked well, and it was a lot of food for the money. Yup. Good deal. 

Business response:

Wow reaper?!?! Daring!! WE LOVE IT! Thanks for stopping by Tim!

Dave's is relatively quick, prioritizes giving out hot fries, and allows you to order in the restaurant or beforehand online. They'll bag it to go but you're welcome to eat inside. The bathroom was pretty clean and staff walks around and cleans tables so dining in is pretty comfortable. I've been here a few times and I think my favorite order is the two tender box (medium or hot ) with fries. They give honey packets so I pour those over the chicken. My partner likes the slider so I love that we can order a combo with one of ... read more

They have really good spicy fried chicken sandwiches for a good price! The taste is great, and they have a variety of seating and good vibe to sit and eat. Their service was also very good and quick.
