Came by yesterday night since this opened up right around the corner from where I stay. Can't say I was impressed. I ordered a #3 (slider and tender plate) in Medium. It's definitely more of a drier spice rub vs a wet sauce. I found my chicken to be a little dry and not as juicy as they advertise. In terms of the spice level: probably could've gone to the "Hot" spice setting - medium was a safe choice. The Dave's sauce was too sweet for my liking. Pros: customer service A-1, short wait time (took 8 minutes to get my food),... read more

Dave's recently opened last week, and I definitely expected the line out the door, which it was. However, I was delightfully surprised at how fast the line moved. We were probably in and out in under 20 minutes! Feels like they've worked out many kinks. We ordered the slider and tender combo with extra cheese and an extra side of Mac and cheese and a vanilla milkshake. The slider was tasty, but was stacked with one too many pickles (is 4 pickle slices really necessary?). The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on th... read more

The food flavors were absolutely amazing . The food is always good, haven't tried everything but I will be back. Service was friendly and it was so busy within the establishment. Always looking for something new and different in Columbia.

It was good! And well priced! But I was waiting for my food for an hour due to a buzzing device not working. The person that took my order really seemed like she didn't want to be their so it was not the best experience but I pushed through because I really wanted to try the food. Maybe it was because it was a Friday afternoon. But the fries were good though

There was a line out the door, but luckily I ordered online in advance. I skirted the line and snagged by bag of food. I was concerned that the line might just all be hype over a new restaurant in a town that is very much lacking in interesting places to eat. I can now report that this place is 100% worth the hype. It was delicious. Perfectly cooked chicken. Crispy and spicy outside and juicy inside. The sauce and fries and slaw are fantastic as well. Not a healthy choice, but on a rainy day like today when comfort food is i... read more

Did Dave's meet the hype? Or is it just another overhyped restaurant landing in South Carolina? It opened this past Friday and lines were out past the sidewalk. You know, I was always shocked a few years back that Nashville hot chicken or just hot chicken in general wasn't bigger in the Carolinas/Georgia/Florida. I remember even back in 2015ish you literally had to go to Nashville to even try hot chicken. Pros: - Plump chicken. They don't skimp on the strips. You're not going to get puny Zaxby's sized strips. - I like... read more

This was my first time trying DHC and it was awesome I got the mild slider and tender. I really liked the seasoning on the chicken and the sauce is AMAZING!!! Order extra sauce for the chicken and the fries Even though there was a line out the door, The Service was great with cool graffiti graphics inside the new restaurant. YOU HAVE to TRY OUT this CHICKEN!
