I had Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time this past summer while in Vegas, so I was excited to see it in PA while traveling through Harrisburg area. I pulled in during what was a little slow spell. I ordered right away and waited about 3-4 minutes for my food to be ready. Space was very clean and seemed to be very new. As I sat there eating the restaurant filled up pretty quickly. I opted for a mild spice level as I had a long drive ahead and felt it may be the best choice. I wish I had ordered hot however. The chicken cam... read more

I had no intention on coming here today but as I was driving by, I saw there was no crowd and I took a gamble and stopped in. Debating my life choices in the car while perusing their online menu and ordering system, and BOOM! I created an account and placed my order online using Apple Pay. So easy to make and pay for bad decisions! Knock off one star for lame Mac n Cheese. Otherwise, one very tasty and hot (spicy) chicken slider that made me sweat (in a good way). Kale Slaw was very good. Interior and the decorations are ... read more

I wasn't expecting much cause it's fast food, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food came out fast. The order was correct. The portions were bigger than I expected. The slider was the size of a full size sandwich. About the same size as a Chic-Fil-a sandwich. I got the Hot and my wife got the extra hot. The heat was about as much as I could handle, but not too hot. They give you a good amount of sliced pickles and the fries were seasoned well. My only complaint is drinks are not included with the combo meal. You have to ... read more

Really good I would recommend extra hot or reaper for extreme spice lovers. The service is really good employees are very nice. Even though the place is busy it's nice if you can stand all the talking

It was a long line but expected on grand opening. I was met by a gentleman I believe may be Dave. He's very polite and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and the chicken was very good. Definitely hot and I love spicy foods. Worth trying out and I'll definitely return in the near future. Would definitely recommend Dave's. It's also a nice restaurant, love the graffiti painting as well.

I will start by saying the strawberry milkshake was good but the chicken is inedible. There is so much salt on the rub that i could not finish. I had to take a drink with every bite. I think i got enough sodium intake for a week and only ate about half the sandwich. Also the cheese fries were more cheese than fries. I wont be eating there again. 

Business response:

Sorry to hear the chicken was too salty for you, Angela. We aim for bold seasoning, but it shouldn’t be overpowering. Glad you enjoyed the strawberry milkshake, at least! Appreciate the feedback, and we’ll keep working to get the balance just right.
