This food has to be the WORST I have ever put in my body. No clue how this is even edible. Around 8:30 pm on Friday night, I decided to stop at Dave's Hot Chicken. Boy, do I regret doing this. Around 8:40 pm, I finally received my order of Dave's Hot Chicken. I was thrilled. However, I did notice it looked like it had a very thick coat of breading and seasoning. Despite this, I decided to have two bites of the Dave's Hot Chicken that looks like it sat in the deep fryer for 3 days (or perhaps 3 minutes because I was food p... read more

Waited for half an hour and no sign says they ended the free slider reward. At the cashier, they claimed they end earlier today. If you can't do it you need to make a huge sign at the front instead of people waiting. Terrible service.

The service was terrible. The person behind the counter had our food in his hand and yet continued to the carry out orders before finally calling my number.half the order was wrong. The chicken chewy and fries were over seasoned.

Looking for a different place to eat ..new to the area so I ordered online. Once I picked up my order I opened it up and was disappointed. I ordered cauliflower bites and fries. The cashier bragged how good they were but I received something different. When I opened the order..it was a piece of cauliflower dipped in batter with sauce and it was warm and bland. The fries were too bad just warm and a little soggy. I wish I could get my money back

Ordered extra hot combo 2: which is 2 tender sliders, with fries and pickles; hot not ckn nuggets: 6 pieces of battered and fried cauliflower, and a strawberry milkshake. Unfortunately the chicken wasn't juicy and the spice coating really dries out your mouth, the chicken doesn't really taste like anything and the spice flavors are quite dull. Idk if they messed up, but the hot was spicier than the extra hot. The cauliflower was good at first, but it was just eating oil near the end of the meal. The milkshake was solid. ... read more

Slick concept, below average tasting food, expensive for what it is. My high school kid begged me to get him some Dave's Hot Chicken to sustain him during his weekend gaming session. I got him the tender plus slider combo with fries for $13 and got myself a single tender for $4.70 to try it out. Both "Hot" spice level. The food portions are okay, I would be fine with the price to food portion level if the taste is good. There is a *LOT* of competition in the spicy chicken sandwich and tenders market and there is some ove... read more

I'm not the biggest fan of Dave's to be quite honest. The chicken sandwich tasted like school lunch, and maybe it's just me but it had a plastic or McDonald's taste to it. Kraft Mac and cheese is better than theirs. The best thing I had was there fries and honey. Overhyped imo.

So long story short, me and my 11 yr old were coming from a long day at a mall, and we wanted good, buttery, spicy chicken. So we came to this exact place. It. Was. TERRIBLE! It made my daughter and I sick after only a few nibbles. Also mild has no special seasoning, just paprika no spice at ALL. Disgusted, will not go again.

I'm probably the biggest fan of Dave's Hot Chicken so when I visited this location for my birthday I was expecting nothing but the best. The location is small and all the tables get taken quickly. We were able to catch someone right as they got up. A few minutes after we ordered a family of 15+ people walked in. There was clearly not enough room for them, so they had to arrange tables to eventually get all sat together. In the meantime, they kind of hovered over people. I knocked the review down a star because one of the... read more
