If you like fried chicken and hot sauce, this place is legit. It was so good. I will say the heat level is crazy. I had the "hot" level and it was plenty spicy for me. I enjoy habanero salsa so I was surprised. It might be a mix of seasoning spicy and heat from chillies (?). Not sure and definitely not an expert. But it was juicy and fresh to order which is a big win.

Our whole family LOVEs Dave's hot chicken! The food is bomb, the environment is chill (indoor and outdoor seating, clean, lots of light, cool graffiti everywhere) and awesome service. They take care of their military service members and we appreciate them! Always a perfect lunch when out and shopping. It's always a win to find a place that the kids enjoy too!

Well hot damn, I'm a fan! The first bite was a rush of paprika explosion followed by tangy sweetness with a tad of spice. The French fries were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of crunch on the outside. I loved how my Togo box was neatly packed with making it easy to not make a mess eating from the car. The slider came with a side of delicious pickle slices and an extra side of sauce. This was my first time to ever try this place and I will for sure be back to try more. They had a wide range of spice level to ch... read more

Never disappoints. A must have if you've never tried it before. Different levels of spiciness for the chicken.

I like some heat with my food, but I don't seek it out intentionally, so that probably affected my experience here. This place was busy but service was very friendly and quick! It is decorated very brightly with cool lighting. The menu is simple, and I decided to try "Hot" as my spice level, and I went with one slider and one tender, otherwise known as the "Dave's #3." The food came out fast. The chicken was juicy, but the spice seemed just one note to me: heat. It didn't really have much in the way of flavor. The spice r... read more

Just to start, as i walked in, i walked in the direction of the bathroom. seeing that it was locked by a code the employees without being asked for anything they told me the code promptly, then after ordering I had not yet sat down 1 minute, then our tracker started buzzing for our food. They gave me an extra chicken tender--the chicken was so succulent and perfectly spiced (I got medium heat--I'm white.) Yummy!! 

Business response:

We're all cheers over here! Thanks for being amazing, and here’s to many more awesome experiences with you!

I hate to admit it, but literally Dave's stole me from Kentucky fried chicken. Yes they have it's crispy it's fresh. It's real chicken and it's really good. They have the side with the pickles just a little something the chickens can be spicy as you want it or can be as mild as you'd like to have it you got drive-through won't take you 10 minutes to get your order you're gonna thank me for this.
