Shit so nasty it's crazy! Lol. Just because it's hot doesn't mean it's seasoned. Do better Dave.

Nashville hot chicken for people who don't like flavor. I am a Nashville hot chicken aficionado. I've been to every major location in the Nashville Metro, and several local themed places as well. Dave's has SUCH a huge following - lines out the door for weeks - that we were excited to go too. I wish we hadn't. Their chicken was just bland, or if you ordered a higher spice level it's bland that makes your mouth burn. No complex flavor profile like other chains became known for, just heat and salt. The chicken was also soggy... read more

Appreciate the feedback, K. We get that everyone has their own take on Nashville hot chicken, and we’re sorry ours didn’t hit the mark for you. We always aim for bold flavors, not just heat, so this is something we’ll keep in mind. If you’d like to share more about your experience, we’d love to hear from you at dhcfeedback.com.

As so often happens with new restaurants, today we saw our first decline in food quality, portion size and service. We were fast becoming a loyal customer, but our most recent experience failed to meet expectations. Normally large, juicy chicken was now thin, dry chicken. Hot, crispy fries was now lukewarm, soggy fries. And food that was promised by 5:20pm online was not ready till 5:52pm. Strike one Dave...50/50 we ever go back. Larry from Vestavia Hills 

Business response:

Sorry to hear this visit didn’t live up to your past experiences. We definitely want to keep the quality and consistency you’ve come to expect. If you’d like to chat more about your visit, reach out at dhcfeedback.com.

The service wasn't bad, but I waited over an hour for a #3, only to find out they forgot about it and the food was on the colder side. 

Business response:

Waiting over an hour and getting cold food is definitely not how it should go. Can you share more details at dhcfeedback.com? We’d love to make this right.

Have been waiting to go here ever since I saw one was opening in the area and when I finally got the chance it was not a good experience. The service was awful and rude when I was treating the lady with nothing but respect. The place was not overly crowded and even as it thinned our food had still not arrived and our shake was very poorly made. To top it all off the cashier took an extra gratuity that was over double the tip I had already given her despite her attitude when online it says that gratuity is not required. I was... read more
