We loved Dave's Hot Chicken! The service was very friendly and the food came out quickly despite how busy it was. The food was delicious and the chicken was crazy flavorful. I heard some people complaining about how the chicken is not coated in sauce, so beware that the chicken is more of a dry rub and is well seasoned. I went with the mild heat and it had a nice smoky flavor. Bf got the hot heat and it definitely had a kick but honestly not too bad. I got the one slider and one tender combo and could not finish it!

A fun spot with awesome and colorful artwork! Located at the end of a strip mall, we found parking easy in the back. We tried the slider and tenders at level medium and they still had some spice to them and a lot of flavor. I'm not a huge fan of Nashville hot chicken but this was good, I might just opt for mild next time. The tenders were huge, we ordered 3 in one meal but 2 is plenty for next time. The slider was my favorite as the slaw really helped to offset the heat. Fries were good as well, a little salty, however. Se... read more

So tried this place today. Seems a bit pricey for chicken but it is what it is. The facility is nice and clean. They also have an outdoor area. I ordered the two piece tender with fries, hot level of spice. It took about five minutes for them to make it. Fast considering. First impression was the size of the tenders. They are very big, more like half a boneless breast. The crinkle cut fries are nice and they include very nice pickle slices, two pieces of white bread and a sauce. The spice is a dry seasoning. Most places w... read more

No complaint should. Seasoning on point. Chicken was juice and crispy. Sauce was delicious. Service was fast and courteous. Extra sauce and pickles are the move.

Keepin it real...not sure about the hype but then again I'm not a hot chicken aficionado. Dave's has gotten so much pub all over social media that you gotta give em a try. We head over the week of the grand opening and the line winds outside the door. We skip it but end up going back later that week. Pretty crowded still but no huge line. It does take the kitchen a good 10-15 minutes to get our food out which is kinda surprising considering the lack of a big crowd. We get 2 sliders (1 hot, 1 mild) with fries. No drink incl... read more

"Sliders" are bigger than they appear on menu. I got medium heat. A bit expensive so it'll be just an occasional treat.

After a workout I decided to give Dave's Hot Chicken a try. To explain the 3 star review is based on the food for the price. The chicken is actually quite good. I got medium to start on the middle spicewise. It was chili powder forward, with a little salt and sugar to hit the different taste buds. Medium was not too hot by any means, it was exactly that, medium which I appreciate. The coating was very crispy, which is another plus for their strips. The fries could use a makeover, I was not a fan. I got cheese fries subst... read more

No problem with parking. Fresh New opened spot, with a good ambiance to it. I have eaten at daves in Cali this summer and looked forward to eat at D again. Service was good and personnel were attentive. We ordered sliders with different hotness to it and fries. The food was good.
