Quick version: Employee put my partially eaten food back in the freezer with items waiting to be picked up and was extremely rude. I've been coming here for quite a while and have always enjoyed the food and never had any issues with customer service until last night. My order was completely wrong and I went back in to have it corrected, the girl behind the counter (Andrea) was extremely rude and kept trying to tell me my item was correct when it was not. After going back and forth with her multiple times telling her that i... read more

After a long wait in the drivethru I politely suggested it might be nice to offer perks for customers to compensate for the slow service. Giving coupons for next time or a free item. The man at the window ( said he was the manager) did not like my suggestion and began yelling at me that I got quality food,,, I said yes but it's too slow. He was still yelling at me as I drove away. Terrible! Such a low standard, if that is the management! I think customer service is as important as the food. I think my suggestion was great, ... read more

Good chicken but terrible service. I watched as the girl at counter filled 3 huge doordash orders and left me waiting for 15 minutes in the drive-thru. They wouldnt even give an extra sauce packet i asked for due to the wait. Smugly tried to charge for the sauce. Ill gi back to a Daves Hot Chicken, but definitely not this one.

Truly inedible. Staff are unprofessional and rude. The cauliflower is fried so much it turns to powder as you chew / crunch it. The chicken is over sauced and spiced, it was either soggy or powdery. They throw soggy pickles all over every menu item. Random pieces of wonder bread like crap. Just made us all feel disgusting eating it, after a few bites we threw it all away. I hate to be so negative, but we felt like we should warn people not to waste money here. It didn't taste like something anyone could enjoy. 

Business response:

We strive to provide our guests with the best possible dining experience and it is disappointing to hear that we fell short during your visit. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to exceed your expectations. Please reach out at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc and we will make this right

A 35-minute wait in a drive thru is absolutely unacceptable, especially when there is ZERO communication from when we paid until getting our food. Moving on to the food, even if we only waited 5-10 minutes the food is average. Nothing great about it. The best thing we ordered was the orange slush with ice cream in it. If you don't want to staff your business, be honest about it and put signs on drive thru menu saying "30 minute wait", give your customers the option to decide if they're willing to wait or not.
