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)

i was very excited to try Dave's Hot Chicken because many of my friends love it. I loved how clean and inviting it was in there. we really wanted to sit and eat there and it was the perfect environment to do so. The cashier was also very nice and made recommendations on what to get. i ended up getting the tenders in Medium heat with fries and a drink. It was pretty good, but there was an almost bitterness to the spice. it was strange. it was less spicy and more bitter to me. i want to try the sliders before deciding if i lik... read more

Customer service is very friendly. Was immediately greeted upon entering the store. Got the tenders extra hot and the slider was regular hot. The extra hot tenders definitely had a slow building kick due to the spicy dry rub. The heat definitely lingers but it is not unbearable. The hot slider was a much more approachable level of heat. Both entrees come with their house sauce and pickles and they also offer hot sauce and honey. I will be back to try their reaper spice,...eventually. 

Business response:

Sounds like you handled the heat like a champ! Extra hot definitely has that slow burn, and we love that you appreciated the balance between spice levels. Thanks for the great review—hope to see you again soon!

If you're a fan of crispy and spicy fried chicken, look no further than Dave's! My wife and I swung through for a post-gym gym treat, and Dave's Hot Chicken did not disappoint. I ordered the double slider with fries option, one Medium and one Hot to get a feel for the spice levels. Hot had an initial kick that mellowed out after the first few bites, so if you're borderline, it might be time to take a risk and give that spice a shot! The medium spice level was delightfully warming, allowing the fully flavors of the spices to... read more

Business response:
