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!

Columbia's finally got this awesome hot chicken spot. Dave's hot chicken is a chicken spot that makes tenders and fries. They got a few other menu items, shakes, and whatnot but this place is all about the chicken. Dave's hot chicken has multiple spice levels so you can choice your level of spice. I tried very hot, hot, and medium. Medium is as it sounds and is a great place to start if spicy isn't your main thing. They also have no spice for those that cannot handle any level of spice. The fries were heavily seasoned, ... read more

Food and atmosphere were amazing! Chicken was the best that I've had in quite awhile. Staff were friendly and helpful. We tried medium and our kids had no heat. I look forward to trying all of them! The chocolate shakes are also a must-try item!

Great chicken and the best chocolate shakes. Matt Simonetti and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Want great chicken where you can tailor your amount of heat or none at all? Give them a try. The honey takes it over the top!

Was excited to try this place. I was visiting Cola on Sunday and needed a lunch spot. My husband and I took three people so five people total. The total was close to $80. For fast food? When we walked in we weren't greeted. The trash cans were overflowing. All the tables were dirty. I went to the counter to ask about getting the table cleaned. I was given some wipes to do it myself. The food was not good. I couldn't finish it. The chicken had no seasoning or heat. The sauce it came with was tangy, I didn't really understand ... read more

Cashier was extremely rude. Needs attitude check! Manager wouldn't even talk to me about her behavior. Just had his back turned. I had just came from church too.

Zero stars actually. This place knows how to ruin chicken. It made me actually throw up when I got home and I was ill the rest of the night. Go get fried chicken anywhere else.
