It's located in a small Nice shopping plaza . Have outdoor seating . Service was extremely fast with the amount of customers. My food was delicious. First time here from Georgia and will be back. I had mild my husband had medium and he said it had a kick . As for me I'm not a spicy eater and mild Was Perfect with a lot of flavor . And the slider is basically a big juicy FAT sandwich one was way too much for me. And the restaurant was very clean . Worker was constantly sanitizing the table .

Dave's hot chicken has some of the best chicken in town. I usually get the sliders but today I got the nuggets. The food was cooked decently well but the seasoning was not the best. The chicken was only coated about half way around but the food was still pretty good. The service was nice but the line was long - nothing unusual. The place itself was fast casual with an okay dining experience.

The food was very good, and fun fact: their sauce tastes like Canes sauce! But... ladies.. if you got nails going over your fingers tips; they 100% get covered in the grease and spices on the chicken. The service was average, wouldn't say it was horrible but also not anything special. Ambiance is uhm.. fine?

Never disappoints. REALLY hot, even mild has a kick. The service is decent for fast food restaurants and it has a very good ambiance. Always a great late night snack.

As soon as I saw there was a Dave's, I made it a point to go. It did not disappoint! The music the atmosphere was what I like. Service was adequate as it's serviced up fast food style. It was the first time I ordered the hot. It was hot but not unbearable as my heat threshold is high. The second time I went, I jumped up to the reaper. The girl at the counter tried to talk me into the next one down. But I felt confident I could handle it. I must say it was hot but it wasn't miserable. It is something I'd get agai... read more

Yes, we are definitely comfort food, and the best if you're craving something spicy. If you want even more sweetness, try adding some honey onto your chicken next time, available upon request ( you won't be sorry)

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!!

This place is a little spot that has great chicken sandwiches. They offer different levels of spicy. Food was fresh and service was great. I will be back again

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
