We did a fundraiser last night and the staff was great! Dawn was so helpful and the girl serving the food delivered it with a genuine smile! My whole family ate there and every single one said it was really good. My son even mentioned that they sure know how to present their food. Great place, great staff, great food!

I've a few Dave's Hot Chicken locations and it always hits! I am personally a fan of the hot level - I think that is a good heat without being unbearable. I would definitely recommend a sandwich over just the tenders. The bun, slaw, sauce, and pickles make it. I wish I remembered the name of the cashier when we went, but he was super sweet! :) I'll be back! 

Business response:

Much appreciated for the stellar 5-star review! We're thrilled to have made your day. Whenever you're ready for more, we'll be here to deliver the same great experience!

This is a different kind of chicken place. They use a dry-spice coating, unlike other places. This is not Nashville-hot or buffalo-wing type sauces. Word of warning: I found the 'medium' to even be a bit spicy. When you read the menu of chicken sandwich 'sliders', these are big sandwiches! Get ready to have a filling meal. At the time aware of how hot their spices are, I will order the next chicken sandwich, meal a further down on the 'heat list '. I also think the person taking our order, when asked about the heat, scale an... read more

Stopped there with my daughter for takeout the other day. Good service, hearty serving portions, and tasty chicken. The tenders are very generously sized so a meal of two tenders was plenty enough for my 200 pound frame. Located kind of on a outdoor food court setting with a few other restaurants. Nice idea.

For first time in ages I have experienced a pretty claimed hot sauce that is indeed about as hot as advertised. I chose the second from the top, since I'm more about the flavor profile than anything he ability to maim. The top hot sauces at most of the places is indeed at a level that's more about being lava than anything else. A few weeks ago I had wings at Wing Stop and the second hottest was pale. Mostly an overly sweet burn. My blood sugar levels were doubled to nearly 200 the following day, which truly made my decisio... read more

Love Dave's chicken! I opted for Dave's #1 combo which included two tenders and fries ($11.99). It's cool that you can choose plain (no spice) all the way up to a truly HOT level of spice. Even your fries can be made spicy if you choose them to be. I went plain chicken, plain fries. They were very delicious! The white meat tenders were literally SO Tender and delicious!! My plain fries were coated with a light sprinkle of seasoning, but they were not spicy at all. The Dave's Hot Chicken sauce included in my combo was awesom... read more
