It's fine I guess Narrow menu: Everything is based around an identical chunk of white chicken. If you want a bun, it's called a "slider". If you want a slice of what looks like wonder bread, then it's called a "tender". Choose one of 7 levels of heat. Fries are always the same no matter what. Service is fast food standard. Tell them what you want. Pay. Wait for your number to be called. Eat it there or take it home. The eating area is out of view of the kitchen, the music is set to "blast" levels and the furnitur... read more

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. 

Business response:

We're happy that you're happy! If you have a minute would you mind connecting with us at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc to tell us how we can earn that last star?
