Love Dave's Hot chicken and this new branch has not skipped a beat. The staff is very friendly and the food has been done just right. They always seem busy but just order ahead and pick it up! Been there about 10 times in a few months lol

Good food, but the wait is long! Probably 20 minutes waiting for chicken. Love seeing and smelling the unhoused man in the restaurant.

Delicious chicken!! Love spicy chicken. Service isn't great, they are a little slow and not friendly at all. I stood waiting for about 10 minutes while they were chatting. I finally asked if they were still taking orders and one of the gals looked at me confused. I then asked in Spanish and she walked over to assist me. The wait was long but the food is delicious. Easy parking and they are open late.

First time trying Dave's hot chicken. Was a bit nervous to try after seeing mixed reviews and because my stomach was still adjusting to being sick. No issues after eating this meal which means it's not super greasy. I got the meal with two sliders, hot, with fries and a soda. In addition to this, I had three other meals and two shakes to carry. The cashier helped me to my car even though I was stubborn at first to let her. I had to drive the food back home which meant it sat in the car for about 20 minutes. I was worried it ... read more

Very clean location. I was very, very impressed by the service, the ambiance, and most of all, the FOOD!!! I ordered the tender sliders in medium hot. I added honey to it as I read about it on another review. Oh my goodness, it was absolutely delicious I suggest requesting that they add ore sauce to the bread and not a small drizzle on top of the chicken. However, they had a cup of sauce on the side, so it was adequate to add, along with all the extra pickles. I wish they would bring one of these places to my hometown ... read more

We have a new fast-food chicken spot in the area. I always like to go when a restaurant opens in the beginning because I know they will be on their best behavior, and as expected, they were. The staff was friendly, and the food was good. I'll wait to see what it turns into in the next few months; I will remain cautiously optimistic. BB

Came in a Saturday night it was not too busy. We were able to go straight to the register and order. The server behind the register was friendly and helpful. Our food came out pretty quickly. I got the #4 with the one slider and fries. The fries were hot and tasty, the chicken was well seasoned. The sandwich was very good. The pickles were nice and crispy. The restaurant was very clean. My husband and son enjoyed their food. He ordered a top loaded shake. All the M and Ms fell yo the bottom but it was still very good. We wil... read more
