Dave's hot chicken never disappoints! The fried chicken is so good! Very well seasoned. The french fries are very well cooked with a very soft interior. And seasoned very well. The chicken is so juicy. RUN! This place has really good chicken. It is a little bit on the pricey side, but is a very good treat. Service is quick and efficient! Very short wait time. And then they are very quick to respond.

Great chicken! Fast service and the fries are delish. Got the slider & tender combo with fries at medium heat. Don't be afraid to order hot since the medium felt more like a mild (and my tolerance is low). Has more of a chipotle flavor than heat. The classic without any heat is probably what I'll order next time since I liked that more. They only have their homemade sauce on the side so no ranch unfortunately to those lovers! Pickles there are a thumbs up as well for me and add on the honey packets they offer!!

Great first visit to Dave's! First, the staff is so dang friendly...Kind and full of recommendations on heat of the chicken and meal size. The place has a cool vibe... love the garage door type opening to the outside seating area. We got our food... Looked amazing... As I expected. What I didn't expect was for the fries to be so incredible! Soft and hot in the middle with a crisp, almost a little crunch on the outside layer. I cannot wait to get them again and dip them in the Dave's sauce. I like a little burn, but not ... read more

Omgosh!!! What really needs to be said about this place?!? The food is nothing short of AMAZING!! I had the chicken strips meal, mild with seasoned fries and kale slaw, my son had the strips (reaper! - must sign a waiver!) and my DIL had the mild chicken sandwich meal. The chicken is so moist, hot and delicious! We are already planning our next visit!

I'm hooked... this fried chicken has take the top spot of all fried chicken. This is hands down the best hot chicken I've ever had. It's got a little bit of heat with a little bit of sweet. Damn!!!! I always go for the #1 hot with the coleslaw in lieu of fries with an extra Dave sauce and 4 honey's. (2) per chicken. Also, these tenders aren't your normal tender. These are like full blown breast. I'm keeping this place in my weekly rotation for sure.

Hey, thank you for the incredible five-star review! You're a real MVP! We're over the moon that you enjoyed your visit. Your support fuels our passion for what we do!

The food was good. I got the extra hot chicken slider and the hot tender. My mouth is on fire. It gave hot. The tender was nice and crispy both served with pickles. The fries were ok they had a nice seasoned flavor and the slaw really complimented the slider. The Dave's sauce is really good. Service is out of this world. I stopped in on one of my food deliveries and the manager or owner immediately approached me to ask if I had an order. I advised yes and he took the order and had the kitchen start working on it immediately.... read more
