I had never been to Dave's Hot Chicken, so when they opened this location I decided to try it. Although it was day one, so I waited for an hour in the drive thru line, I ordered online while waiting so it was ready when I got to the front. I got a slider meal, medium heat. It was really good. The fries were excellent with lots of seasoning, and the slider was bigger than most full sized sandwiches elsewhere. The chicken was really good. The Dave's sauce is really good, get extra. It was way more food than I expected, so alth... read more

Just spent 20 minutes in the Drive-Thru waiting to get my food. Worst weight I've ever experienced for drive-through service. Do better Dave's.

I recently took my granddaughter out for a milkshake. She picked this restaurant over another restaurant known for their shakes. We were greatly disappointed. The cup was three-quarter full milkshake and the last quarter was tiny M&Ms. They were not even mixed together. At the high price we paid, it simply wasn't worth it.

I've only been to a Dave's hot chicken once before. This experience didn't live up to my other. Service was mediocre and very slow even tho it was not busy. I got a Dave's #2 - 2 sliders and fries. Fries were cold and chicken was slightly warm. There are definitely better options around.

Read the reviews and looked at prices. $45.00 for 10 fingers??? Changed my mind. Could buy lots of chickens for that price!

Decided to try this new place. Going through the drive through I almost changed my mind when I saw the prices. The cheapest meal was $10 which was just a slider and fries (no drink)! I decided to try it anyway. Just 2 cars ahead of me and the wait was ridiculous. Took about 15 minutes for the first car to get their order (not at all large). The next went faster (I'm guessing they had to cook more chicken). The slider was okay. Chicken was tasty but dry. Fries were very salty, even too salty for me, which is saying somethin... read more
