My husband's coworker told him about this place and do we decided to try it since we were in the area. It's inside of a strip mall so parking can get tricky. Upon entering we were not acknowledged. That's usually a red flag for me. I work in the customer service industry and greeting folks sets the tone for any successful business. There wasn't a line and the dining room was busy on a Saturday afternoon. The menu was large and easy to understand. The interior was cute and decorated in graffiti like decor. Very colorful! We d... read more

Hot chicken sandwiches seem to be the new thing. I have a bit of a love hate relationship with this sandwich. The sandwich itself was good with lots of flavor and a good sauce. My hate part comes from the chicken that stuck out from the sandwich. It is so coated with chili powder that it was almost like eating a teaspoon of seasonings with every bite. Once you got to the bread and sauce it was a great sandwich. Service was fast and the art on the walls makes this a unique place. Looking for your dream hot chicken sand... read more

i was going to give 2 but the service was nice so i'll give 3. we were thrown off by the shouting "hi welcome to dave's".. the guy kept shouting that as more and more customers came through the door and it was overwhelming + not pleasant. we were just trying to order and he would cut off his sentences to say welcome i ordered the tenders in mild and replaced the fries for mac and cheese. my partner ordered a sandwich in hot. we both thought it wasn't worth the hype since it tasted like they threw a bunch of seasoning and ... read more

I've been reading about this place on social media due to sponsorships so I decided to give this place a try. I wasn't disappointed at all. I went ahead and ordered the wings with the spiciest sauce called the 'reaper' and one of the cashiers had a wild reaction telling his colleagues that I was ordering that. The taste was similar to the blazing hot wings you would order from buffalo wild wings. Nonetheless the food was very tasty and delicious not to mention the wait time was rather quick and all the cashiers were extremel... read more

During my most recent visit to Northern Virginia, I decided to check out this spot based on the buzz. I ordered two chicken strips with French fries. First of all these aren't really tenders. They're boneless fried chicken breast cooked to perfection. The chicken isn't sitting around under a heat lamp. It's made to order, so you have to wait about 10 minutes, which is not a problem. I was disappointed to discover that the seasoning used for the chicken includes brown sugar. I don't like sugar, so this isn't for me, but to ... read more

Wow, wow and WOW! Walked in and was immediately met with a cheerful greeting. The ambience was flamboyantly brilliant. New favorite hot chicken place check (except fries could use a little bit Improvement, hence the four stars). Side note the chipotle chips down the street were perfect tangy.

First time giving them a try and the food was pretty good. The seasoning is a little weird but over all good once you add some dipping sauce. I ordered my chicken medium spicy and it was hardly even spicy. The fries were very good as well. The staff was very nice and helpful with explaining things. The place is very cute and the walls are very loud. Over all a good experience

Very tasty hot chicken sandwich. I got mild, which was perfect for me. The chicken was very tender and flavorful. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. (One note: check your receipt. They were having some problems with how their register calculates the tip)
