We got the #4 Slider with fries. Order was ready very fast. The slider was a regular sized sandwich, chicken was crispy and flavor was pretty good! We got the mild so wasn't spicy at all. Fries were so so, nothing to rave about. We also got the Mac and cheese which was really good. Reminded me of chick fil a Mac and cheese. My toddler loved it as well!

We have stopped here multiple times and it never disappoints. I wish we had one closer! The medium has just the right amount of heat. Tried one bite of a "reaper" and I couldn't hang with it. Wish the signage was better and a bit more parking as it tends to fill up quick.

Loved our first time here. Went with the medium chicken bites and they were amazing. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the heat was minimal. Next time I will try the hot ones. Mary Jane took care of us at the register and she was a pleasure to interact with! Very smiley and fun. 10\10 

Business response:

Love to hear it! Medium is a great start—hot should be a fun upgrade next time. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Mary Jane!

If you like chicken you must try Dave's. They offer bites, tenders and sliders The best thing is that you can customize your heat level from 0 heat to reaper. The chicken is very moist and tender and delicious. I got the 10 pc bites with mild heat and substituted Mac and cheese instead of fries for no additional cost. The Mac and cheese was delicious and quite creamy too. If Chicken is not your thing they also have fried cauliflower. My wife got the tender and slider combo an I must say the tender was absolutely huge. 

Business response:

Great choice on the bites and mac swap! And yeah, our tenders are no joke when it comes to size. Hope to have you back for another round soon!

Today, for the fun of it, I declared a chicken war to see who is better. Bonchon Korean Fried Chicken vs. Dave's Hot Chicken. Winner Bonchon. I bought the requisite chicken tenders, two levels of heat and a side of mac-n-cheese. The chicken is very good, moist, flavorful, a tad spicy but had no crunch. I expected a wonderful crunch...bummer. It was very lightly battered and very lightly sauced. There were pickles included and the tenders were resting on 2 slices of white bread. I'm a big fan of the dipping sauce included. ... read more

Business response:

Thanks for giving us a try in your chicken war! We appreciate the detailed breakdown and honest review—hope to see you again.

Wow I love this restaurant so much! The service is phenomenal to start off with - the cashiers are so friendly and personable. The food is absolutely delicious - I've never had such perfectly seasoned, crispy chicken tenders before. The French fries are great too - very crispy and well seasoned and not greasy. I came here on a busy night and the cashier even surprised us with a free slushee for my daughter. Highly recommended! 

Business response:

Thanks so much for the glowing review, Steph! We're thrilled to hear that you loved the chicken, fries, and the friendly service. It's awesome that we could surprise your daughter with a free slushie—thanks for making our day! Looking forward to having you back soon!

Parking is wild. lol it's so packed in the mall. We didn't have to wait long to order our food. Customer service was good. They let us put some tables together since our party was pretty big. Since it's new, the place was busy. Placed our order at 730 got our food for a party of 6 at 744 The sliders we got were the best. We chose medium for the sauce. We also got the loaded fries which had nacho cheese. The tenders were good we got those mild flavor. Kids got the 10 chicken bites to share with some fries. Dave's sauce is ve... read more
