I was skeptical at first as they use dry spices instead of spicy sauce but I tried mild/medium/hot mild had a sweetish very tasty spice to it, Medium was okay tasted toward the mild side to me. Hot was spicey but good. Service was outstanding I had a stroke and can be a mind changing pain in the azz. But Mike behind the counter was awesome. I loved the vibrant artwork inside and outside of the building well worth getting again.

I like Dave's Hot Chicken. Their sandwich can be modified according to your likeness in spices. I usually keep it at Medium, which is perfect for me. The chicken meat itself is fresh and juicy. They have a fountain drink machine. I have not tried nuggets there, but sandwiches are great. The service was decent and friendly. The ambiance is unique, with different designs/paintings everywhere. I have tried multiple Dave's Hot Chicken places and have not yet had anything to complain about. I recommend it, if you are looking for... read more

Wait time high, price point ok, food ok. Not a lot of space to sit. Undecided if I would eat there again. Lots of heat level options to choose from not just hot.

Went on a Monday night and it wasn't too busy inside. There were a lot of takes out orders being prepared. It took about 10 minutes for my order to be ready. I ordered the #1 which came with two chicken fingers, bread and fries. The chicken tenders were pretty good. I ordered them mild. They weren't the crispiest or most moist but the seasoning stood out with the touch of smokiness, mild spice and slight sweetness. They were also pretty big but given the price they should be. The fries were also really good. They were cris... read more

Yea- this is good stuff. The bites reming me of chick-fil-a, all white meat with a light fry. The strips are thicker than a frozen tyson, but not quite as thick as a breast you would buy at the super market. Really love the fries from here- nice and crispy and great seasoning. Pickles are excellent. I've done all the flavors up to hot, which was very tolerable, so if you like spice don't be afraid to go at least extra hot. I'll try that and reaper soon, I'm a fan. 

Business response:

Love the commitment to working up the spice levels! Extra hot is a solid choice, and we’ll be cheering you on when you go for the Reaper. Glad you’re a fan—see you next time!
