Good food, you better like seasoning down to the fries! The sauce is so tasty and if you don't really like spicy, go medium not mild or anything over lol 

Business response:

Appreciate the tip for the spice newbies! Glad you enjoyed the sliders and sauce—hope you’ll be back for more!

Pretty good chicken, cool wall art, and pretty good service. I got to try a bit of the mild spicy chicken, kale slaw, Mac and cheese, fries, HI-C orange slush and of course Dave's sauce. The chicken was delicious and very tender, by far the star of the show. The fries were very salty, and not at all spicy like I hoped. Mac and cheese with Dave's sauce was pretty good! 

Business response:

Thanks for the detailed review! Glad you loved the chicken and Dave’s sauce—appreciate your note on the fries too. Hope to see you back for another round!

So my friend and I decided to try this place out and we really enjoyed our time here, the chicken was well done, and the fries where sweet and delicious, their sauce was also really good. The servers were really sweet and welcoming, and the ambience was very fun and colorful would definitely come back!

Went to go try the popular Dave's Hot Chicken to see what's it all about. Highly recommend to order online to avoid the long line in there. There online completion speed is quick fast for a place that is so busy. Quick tip, if you order online. Don't wait in the line, just walk around and go straight to the pick up area next to the cash register. Your order name will show up on the TV and would let you know when it's ready. I ordered, the tender and slider combo with fries. The chicken itself is not bad. It's not dry, but it... read more

When I arrived for my online order, the place was buzzing with diners and takeouts. Mine was ready within 2 minutes of estimate. The sliders were SO GOOD! Chicken had the crisp and juiciness of Raising Cane's and the flavor of the best Nashville Hot. The slaw was icing on the cake! Pickles crunchy and moist. Mac and cheese was tender and saucy. I'll be looking for a chance to return soon! Next time I'll stop and eat so I can enjoy without the distractions of travel! Also, to go packaging was enlightened: paper food cont... read more

It's great to hear the packaging and food met your expectations too! We look forward to serving you again soon, and next time, we hope you get to enjoy it even more at the restaurant. Thanks for the shoutout!

This place is so cool inside & out. I went on the later side, and it wasn't busy. Online ordering was down so I just went inside and every worker was patient of it being new. Although it was a little pricey (two meals plus shakes as drinks were $47) the chicken was really good. Wish I had some pictures but the mild wasn't even hot so don't be scared to go higher. They give out honey packets which gave the sandwiches a sweet taste. The Daves Sauce is good as well. I would totally go back!

Amazing HOT chicken. The medium is hot the hot is really hot the very hot is almost unbearable and the reaper is ridiculous. The quality of the chicken is amazing and the management in the store is outstanding. I had an error on my order where they flipped around the mild in the hot and they made everything right with a brand new order in just a few minutes when I came back. They are very busy cuz they first opened but they are customer service is second to none. The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated has plenty... read more
