This place I went to on a whim although I've been wanting to try it I wasn't going out of of my way but yesterday after coming back from out of town the opportunity presented itself so I definitely took advantage. Dave's hot chicken is on Archer rd next to chilis inside the building where BurgerFi used to be and when I arrived it's set up exactly how burgerfi used to be with the seating in the middle and drink machine off to the side and ordering towards the back of the building (if your coming from the front entrance). The ... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken is probably the most delicious chicken fast food establishment in Gainesville. I've been plenty of times, but decided to leave a review this time due to the excellent service. Friendly and quick, and the food was great. The Dave's bites are a fantastic option for someone who wants to spend a little less, but still have some great spicy chicken. They even gave me extra nuggets this time!

We tried Dave's for the first time in Gainesville while passing through. I have been wanting to try it since first seeing them in Texas. I would say, if you like chicken tenders and the option to get them extremely hot, this is a great place. If you are looking for options, there really aren't any. Tenders are sizable and a variety of heat options from none to Carolina Reaper. Fries are good too. Typical counter service and a fast food atmosphere so probably not good for an evening out. Great place to grab a quick b... read more

The food was incredibly delicious! We got the sliders and fries with honey and the Dave's sauce--a classic! You definitely need a lot of napkins though because it's messy. The service was very friendly and quick! The ambiance was nice, but I felt like it could be improved with more personalization. Otherwise, great place to get a bite to eat! 

Business response:

Hi Jenna, So glad you tried the sliders and fries with honey! A must! Thank you for sharing your experience.

First time here and the cashier was outstanding explaining everything about the food and spice levels . The service was outstanding. The food was great. They have from no spice to reaper flavor chicken. It's a little more money then your other chicken joints. We would come back again. Give it a try for yourself! 

Business response:

Love hearing that the service and food made a great first impression! Appreciate you giving us a try—hope to see you again soon!

Service and quality are excellent. Just a fair warning: they're extra hot is truly hot. I eat Tabasco sauce for breakfast, and the extra hot chicken made me sweat. I can't even imagine what reaper would feel like. 

Business response:

Sounds like you’ve got a solid spice tolerance, but yeah—extra hot is no joke! Appreciate the warning for others and the kind words about the quality. Hope to see you back for another round!

I am not going to lie! I was skeptical at first and I was heartbroken when Burgerfi disappeared. Then, my husband said, "Let's try Dave's chicken." And, I said,"why not?" Bc Dave's hot chicken had taken over the burgerfi location. We love us some spicy chicken!!! So, he went and got a take out with a slider with spice level reaper to calm the heat down and two extra spicy thinking we are eating extra spicy like pros without even sweating and getting a reaper just for a conversation piece. Then, he told me that he had to ... read more

Business response:

This review was a rollercoaster, and we loved every second of it! The reaper waiver always gets people, and it sounds like it lived up to its reputation. Glad you and your husband gave us a shot—hope to see you again (maybe for something a little less intense next time)!

Took the family to Daves hot chicken today for the first time. The overall food was delicious, I especially enjoyed the NOT Ckn slider, this is a breaded and fried slice of cauliflower, you have the same "flavor" options as the chicken. The bread was soft, cauliflower cooked to perfection, flavor of the breading was delicious, and the coleslaw on the sandwich was great. I personally did not enjoy the flavor of the dave' sauce (luckily i asked for that to be put on the side, if you are unsure, I recommend doing just that). Th... read more

Business response:

Appreciate the detailed feedback! Glad the cauliflower slider was a hit, and we hear you on the combo meal expectations. We’ll definitely take that into account. Hope you come back for another round (and fingers crossed they keep the cauli around longer)!
