The chicken was delicious and the crinkle-cut fries with their special sauce were amazing. The food came fast, was nicely packaged, and ordering was easy.

***USP: fried chicken fast food place with a wide range of heat levels from mild to high heat for more adventurous palates. ***AMBIANCE: graffiti style artwork on the walls. Place order up front, find a table and wait for your buzzer to light up. ***FOOD: this time around we got the chicken bites. It was after school and kids wanted a quick snack. The bites came with a mayo based sauce, a slice of white bread and some pickles. The chicken was surprisingly beautifully cooked, it was soft and flavorful. The coating wasn't to... read more

Delicious chicken. Amazing fries. Crinkle cut fries. Their special sauce is pretty epic. I got medium spice on the chicken and it was perfect for me. Food was really quick and packaged nicely and service was fast and efficient. Easy to order because they have everything plotted out into meals. There's plenty of tables to eat inside, but I took mine to go. The only thing that sucks is parking because it's next to a very busy Trader Joe's, but it's worth a fight for the good food.

Got the slider and tender combo, which comes with fries and a small side of pickles. I ordered extra hot, and it definitely had a nice kick. It's spicy but still very manageable for someone with a high spice tolerance. The service was fast and efficient, you can order at the front or through a kiosk. The ambience is casual and lively. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and everything came out hot and fresh.

I had never been to a Dave's Hot Chicken before, so I ordered the #3, which gets you a sampling of the slider (get w/cheese), tender, toast, and fries, and I ordered a side of Mac and cheese as well. Everything was hot, spicy and delicious! I tried at spicy level "Hot" which is about as high as I recommend you go, they're not messing around. Shoutout to Ian, she was friendly and had our food out quickly! And the bathrooms were clean to boot. 

Business response:

Aww we are so glad that you enjoyed your meal and that we were able to create a memorable experience for you. We hope that you come back again soon!

We tried Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time, and the spice definitely lives up to the name, it's spicy. The chicken sandwich and tenders were good, though not necessarily over-the-top for me. Personally, I prefer fried chicken with bones and extra crispiness, so that's just a taste preference. The sliders were delicious, and the sauces were solid. It's definitely not on the healthy side, but when you're craving comfort food, it hits the spot. Overall, it's a quick, satisfying takeout option. Service was quick and casual ... read more

Not bad if you want some chicken. I came on a not busy weekday to grab some lunch and I was the only person in there. You can order via the front or they have some kiosks where you can order. I ended up getting the Dave combo #3 which was a slider/tenders and some fries. They apparently charge extra for dave sauce, if you want more than the little container that they give you which I hate when places charge for extra sauce. It's pre-portioned most likely so give throw in another container. The food came out somewhat quick... read more
