Dave's Hot Chicken

So I've had Nashville hot chicken all over the country and I think Dave's absolutely nails it, especially considering the price point. I ordered the "number 1" - two chicken strips, fries, dipping sauce, white bread and pickles. I ordered the almost hottest style - extra hot - and it was delicious. I'll probably order the hottest level (reaper) next time just for fun. Everything was made to order. In just under 10 minutes, I had juicy and perfectly cooked chicken and fries. I'll be back!

Excellent chicken! If you like it hot, you'll be satisfied. The chicken quality is on par with Chick Fil A. I recommend reaper, "hot" wasn't that hot at all. They just opened and it was quite busy. I waited 40 minutes for just one sandwich. While I have no complaints about the flavor, I did not enjoy the complete mess that resulted from an oblong chicken on a round bun. It's very messy, grab lots of napkins. The cheese fries are just ok, the cheese is cheap tasting. Update: Holy hell reaper is very spicy! I think extra h... read more

Heard a few things about this place since it was a chain but didn't expect Portsmouth of all places to get one. I heard from some sources that today (April 7th) was the grand opening but they have opened yesterday. I ordered #3 which was the tender, a slider, and fries with sauce and pickles. Cheese costs extra. I got the "Hot" flavor and it was very tolerable with the sauce. The name slider is deceptive because it's basically a chicken sandwich. I paid $13 which is expected nowadays when eating out. I loved my meal and the ... read more

The chicken was not cooked all the way. The service was okay but the wait for one sandwich was over 30mins. The place was clean.

I walked into Dave's Hot Chicken expecting a life-changing meal. What I got instead was a near-death experience. I ordered the "medium" spice level, thinking it would be a safe choice. BIG mistake. One bite in, my soul left my body, filed for unemployment, and never came back. My tongue is now legally classified as a fire hazard. And let's talk about the grease situation. My sandwich was so oily, I could've used the bun to grease a car engine. At one point, I tilted my tray, and the grease moved. It had a whole ecosystem. I... read more

I'm still waiting, super disappointed by their service. After ordering I waited over 40 minutes for my mid grade food. Their excuse was it was busy. Yet they didn't offer anything for a 40 minute wait. Please go faster, and god bless the next person waiting for there never coming food. I'd say stay hopeful, but I'd be lying.

Waste of money,,simply disgusting. Absolutely no flavor at all. Way over prized. Basically chicken breast tenderloins dipped in flour and fried with no seasoning whatsoever so ever.

This place is the worst. I keep trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I have gone three times and each time they have messed up my order, usually by not giving some of the take out food I have ordered. Plus, they do not answer the phone so unless I drive all the way back I can't get a refund. Not worth literally wasting your money for mediocre chicken you don't even get.
