Not a fan. This is a Cane's chicken "wannabe ". We were there at 4:30, the only customers at the time. I ordered 10 tenders, cashier heard me wrong and gave me 10 sliders. In fairness, she offered to change them ( and the music was so loud she probably had trouble hearing me). Unfortunately, we were getting pretty impatient, and just couldn't wait for her to change it. There were 7 employees working (i use that term lightly), yet it took 20 minutes to get the food as most of them were just standing around talking. The c... read more

The chicken was really bad ! my spicy chicken tasted sweet/ over seasoned in the wrong ways. The restaurant was absolutely disgusting. All the tables still had food on them from previous customers.

INSTANT Diarrhea! The chicken I ate yesterday was so gross I threw most of it out. It was inedible. The chicken was 0 out 10! It gave me a sickness I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. My friend also had it for the first time and he said..... "Heard the hype. Not impressed. I disliked it the more I ate it. Just when I thought I was satisfied with the meal this chicken made me want to kill myself. Hard pass going back. Serve something grilled at least"

Not sure if it's just this branch of Dave's, but the chicken was really boring. I ordered medium level spicy and even a toddler could handle it given how weak it was. The chicken was also covered in what looked to be a lot of spices, but it sorely lacked flavor and seasoning- I had to eat the fries to get salt. On the plus side, the chicken was cooked well and not dry. 

Business response:

Thanks for your feedback, Ester. We’re sorry to hear the chicken didn’t live up to your expectations. We aim for bold flavors, so your input about the spice and seasoning is really helpful. We’ll make sure to review this with the team to improve the experience. We appreciate your honesty and hope you’ll give us another chance next time.

Decided to try the famous Dave's hot chicken & left being completely unsatisfied. Service was fast & good. Employees were nice and answered any and all questions I had. The food left me wanting more, really bland chicken that seemed to be covered in paprika. Fries & Mac and cheese were nothing out of this world. The place is surprisingly big for a fast food chain and the food comes out super fast. Hard to say id give this another try. Don't understand what the hype is all about.
