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

Restaurant is very spartan, but clean with colorful graffiti covered walls. Tables and chairs are minimalist utilitarian. The service was very friendly and welcoming. However, the food was average and maybe a bit pricey. We got two combinations - one with mini slider and chicken finger with fries (hot) sauce) and the other with two fingers (mild sauce). We added cheese to both orders. The fried chicken was not crispy and had a bit of gristle. I did not like the seasoning on the fries, but that's personal taste. Nothi... read more

First time here and I loved the chicken sandwich. I got it in a mild spice level. I may actually move the spice up another level when I come back. I was going to share a sandwich and cut it in half but the sandwich was small. But itself was pretty good + added cheese and pickles . I actually liked their shake. I got a strawberry shake with lucky charms on top. The shake was delicious thickkk as I liked. I love the idea of having cereal as toppings.
