Great food even when busy had it twice and it's been great both times, would recommend going if you are in town and looking for good spot for food where you don't mind waiting.

Tried this for the first time for dinner tonight and it was great! I was thoroughly impressed with both the taste of the food and the amount you get for what you pay. I got the slider and tender meal. The size of the tender was more like a whole chicken breast, and the "slider" was a full sandwich. The chicken on the sandwich was so big that half of it didn't fit on the bun. The chicken was perfectly cooked and I thought the medium was the perfect level of spice. Definitely a kick but I was by no means hurting. The sauce, pi... read more

Great chicken and is really hot!! We got Mild and hot. Mild was very flavorful. Hot was really hot and great tasting. Homemade pickles are a home run. Fries are killer too! Not sure if I would try reaper yet. The one downer was the ice machine was broken and would've helped with the heat. 

Business response:

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!

Glad we finally have a Dave's hot chicken in Buffalo! It's been a long wait but it was worth it. The restaurant was very clean, staff was all very friendly, food came out hot and fresh after just a short wait and met all expectations. I tried the #3 which is a slider, a tender and fries. I got the slider medium (I figured the topping would mellow out if there was too much heat) and the tender mild. It was surprising the tender tasted hotter but it had the perfect amount of kick and the flavor was outstanding. The fries are a... read more

I was able to enjoy Dave's Hot Chicken during their Friends and Family event. The chicken was amazingly juicy. I had medium spice and it had a pleasant kick to it. Sliders were delicious. Seating area was very clean. Very friendly staff, and awesome decor.

I went here absolutely excited to try their hot chicken because I love hot stuff! I am good to eat extra hot wings and such but man oh man I don't know if they accidentally put the reaper chicken in my box that said "hot" but it was SO HOT. Painful. I couldn't even finish it after one big bite. This made me so mad since it was $15. French fries were amazing. Very disappointed though. My brother got the mild and it was delicious. But the "hot" chicken had me shaking and chugging milk. AND I LOVE HOT STUFF.... So annoying. M... read more

5/5 for this new place and I can't wait to come back again to try some new flavors! This place just opened so a few things weren't up and running (no ice and no ice cream) but the wonderful staff made up for any broken machines. They were so friendly, they opened the door for us, cleaned up dishes and even asked us how everything was and if we needed things. Super awesome! As far as the food - it was top notch. Dave's sauce is so delicious and be sure to ask for extra because you'll want to put it on everything! The chee... read more

Glad I made it a couple of days after they opened and just prior to noon on a Sunday, so the line was short and the wait was relatively quick; maybe 10-15 minutes tops. The chicken tenders were great and the spicy level on each of the tenders I tried were increasingly hot. I sampled the Lite Mild, Medium, Hot and Extra hot and as much of a spice person as I am, I don't see myself signing a waiver to get the reaper tenders. The chicken was juicy but not questionably cooked which for me is huge, not dry at all. The outside r... read more

The owner came out welcoming everyone for coming out and trying the place . They're very welcoming! Much better than the qdoba that was here and then vacant for years! Very uplifting environment plenty of seating . The hot chicken was fantastic! Great to have a good chicken place nearby. I got the number 3 with extra fry's! One tender and a slider . Check this place out!
