It's always exciting to hear that we're getting new dining options in Holly Springs, especially when they're not massive chains. That said, Dave's Hot Chicken IS a chain but the majority of their locations are in Cali where they started. Speaking of which, you should read their backstory. 2 kids started this business with $900. My son and I visited the new HS location on a Friday night. There was a line out the door but I have to say it moved fairly quickly. We waited about 15-20 mins. The inside was colorful and there wer... read more

Waited 20 min on line, another 5 to receive food. I was impressed by the size of the PICTURES of the chicken and thought it would be worth the price. May be we went on midget night? The pieces were small in comparison to the pics. Fries, completely meh. Wife and daughter got "no spice" and said it was completely bland. I got mild heat and tasted no heat. The crunch was good and the chicken was very tender. Mac n cheese meh. If the pieces were bigger Id say fine, but nah. The staff: zombies. And only 1 register open with ... read more

Tried out Dave's today for the first time. This has personally been on my go to places for a while, since seeing it advertised months ago. I've seen a lot of people upset about the wait and the fact that they have one cashier. While this is true and the wait can be long, this location recently opened. The food was seasoned well and tasted great, I had hot and extra hot as my slider and both were delicious. If you want the reaper, you do need to sign a waiver so keep that in mind. All in all the food was great. The overall ... read more

Absolutely amazing new spot and super excited for this to be added to the area. The food was all incredibly flavorful, well put together, and fresh. There's a spice level for everybody, including the reaper that requires you sign a waiver down to no spice at all. The interior was decorated fantastically and created a fun, inviting environment with plenty of seating available both inside and in their patio are. Prices are also quite reasonable The service was incredibly friendly, and once the order was placed there was a a... read more

First weeks kind of crazy but that is what to be expected of a new place. The line was extremely long but it moved because the cooking line is on fire and kept everything moving. Mind you it was Friday lunch time, high school is out and holiday season. Got take out of two no.3, Hot and Extra Hot, composed of one slider one chicken tender, fries, and pickles. Hot is delicious and you can still feel your mouth. lol My favorite part of the slider is the kale slaw. I wished it had more. I think I can eat that by a pint. th... read more

This spot just opened a week ago and I can taste what the hype is about. The range of heat is from " no spice to reaper" I played it safe with medium heat. The fries are super crunchy but the star of the show is the tender juicy and crunchy piece of chicken . I tried the Dave's sauce, but honestly the chicken is seasoned so well that you don't need it. The side of honey adds a nice touch . This place is a must try. Service is a wait, because they are cooking it fresh to order. Ambiance is crowded and I don't expect it to die... read more

Well, I gotta give these people a five star and I've yet to eat there yet because the lines are out the door and around the corner to get in this place from 11 AM and then also dinner time I've tried three different times to go there and all three times the line was around the corner which is absolutely crazy. The food must be fabulous now my daughter did eat there, the first night they opened and she said that the chicken tenders were so good and so big they were the size of a half of a chicken breast each tender so one of ... read more

I was excited to see a new chicken place opening in the Holly Springs area, DHC took over the spot where Mason Jar used to be. As for the food, it was delicious and well worth the wait for the food. I got the 2 tinders with fries combo, and it was plenty to fill me up. I know w tinders don't sound like much, but these tinder are a good hunk of chicken. As for sauces, I got the extra hot and reaper since I'm a big hot sauce guy, and the term "reaper" is tossed around so easily these days. Let's just say this reaper sauce... read more

Went and tried it today (Monday). It opened last Friday and has been really busy since. I tried to go yesterday @ 2:00pm and the line was out the door, so I moved on. Today I tried again @ 11:30am and the line was only to the door this time lol. Service was counter based. Outside of waiting in line due to busyness, once I got to the counter and ordered, it was pretty quick and accurate-ish after that. All staff was polite and helpful which again is a + considering how busy it was and they have been. I got the tender &... read more
