I've been a fan of Dave's Hot Chicken for a while now, and unfortunately, my visit to the Rochester location didn't meet the standard I've come to expect from the brand. The chicken didn't appear to be cooked to order -- both tenders I received were warm at best, not hot, which is a telltale sign they had been sitting for a bit. On top of that, the seasoning seemed hastily applied after the fact, rather than fused into the crispy coating as it usually is when done fresh out of the fryer. As someone who typically orders med... read more

Had this as an event lunch for a company lunch... Only 20% of order was correct, which was cold and not good. Other components were terrible. I don't think I'll eat again

I see all the pictures of these large tenders and just went for first time, ordered tender and slider combo the size of my two tenders didn't equal the amount of a chicken on a chick fil a sandwich. Tastes good but not worth 20 bucks.

Honestly really bad service. I waited 10 minutes in the drive through 30 minutes before they closed and they turned me away. DO NOT GO HERE

When I got my chicken, it was cold. My chicken was also unseasoned. IT TASTED LIKE STRAIGHT SPICE TENDERS WITHOUT FLAVOR. instead of 2 tenders I got 1. Dave's hot chicken, I thought you were worth the hype. I hate this restaurant not coming again TIKTOK all your fault. 1 star.

Had lunch there today...not impressed! Wife and I ordered and received our buzzer. Several people ordered after us after sitting for about 20-25 minutes we noticed everyone that ordered after us had received their food. Went to the counter and asked about my order, and looked at me funny like "Oh Shit" and they made an inquiry and realized that they forgot to make my order. They gave me some BS excuse and after another 5 minutes waiting at the counter I finally received my order. I didn't even get an apology. As for the food... read more

**Response to Barton P.:** That’s really frustrating, Barton, and definitely not the kind of experience we want for our guests. A mix-up like that should’ve at least come with an apology, and we’re sorry we dropped the ball. Appreciate your honest feedback on the food and atmosphere—we’ll make sure this gets addressed.

I was really excited to go to this place but the food was horrible along with slow service. Don't even bother ordering online the food will not be ready for pickup when you get there. This place is Definitely hyped up right now. But I promise you it is not all that. 

Business response:

Sorry to hear about your experience! Please share more details at dhcfeedback.com so we can address it. We’d love a chance to change your mind.
