Food is good, but be prepared for an hour wait for your meal. From what I could see, the staff in the front were very inefficient. Overall ambiance and food were great, but I don't think I will come back anytime soon unless I have a 2 hour availability in my schedule. 

Business response:

That kind of wait isn’t what we want for our guests, Bella. Glad you enjoyed the food and ambiance, but we hear you—speed matters. We’ll keep working to make things more efficient, and if you ever decide to give us another shot, we hope it’s a much smoother experience.

My husband finally caved in and decided to give this a place a try after taking my son to the Barnes and Nobel across the street from here. I honestly have never heard of this place but I'm glad that the hubby pulled the trigger and got us to try this! My husband did say that even when he put the online order, the time that they said that would be ready was not ready when he arrived. He had to wait for another 15-20 mins afterwards. (I'm pretty sure that it was during their dinner rush so I can't really blame them for the e... read more

Business response:

Glad you gave us a try with the family! Appreciate your understanding about the wait—hope the whole crew enjoyed those tenders and fries. Can’t wait to see you again!

Had a great experience at Dave's Hot Chicken! It was my first time ever and the front-of-house staff were incredibly kind and knowledgeable.The options were pretty standard but I enjoyed that there were different heat levels that I could choose from. I ordered the two slider combo, and honestly, they were so big I could've gotten away with just one. It definitely felt more like a chicken sandwich size than a slider (not complaining but just a warning if you were worried they may be small). The fries and chicken were fresh, f... read more

Business response:

Thanks for giving us a try! Happy you enjoyed the sliders and seasoning. Appreciate the heads-up about the wait—we’re working on it!

This place is good! To the people complaining about the food time wait, I totally get it, but you have to understand they just opened and if you've been there, you know the lines are out the door! I think the food is delicious. The chicken is fried but not greasy at all. It is different than any other chicken place I've had. I have learned since Covid to give new restaurants some grace. Most places will always struggle with staffing issues so when I have to wait, I just assume that that is what's going on. The staff there is... read more

Business response:

Thanks for the grace! We’re working hard to improve those wait times. Appreciate you making us a regular stop!

I can finally stop drooling watching tiktok reviews and can drool in person! So excited that a Dave's Hot Chicken opened in the Richmond area! We ordered online for pick up, where you can add modifications and choose your spice level substitute sides etc very easily. Our food was ready when predicted and the staff were very friendly. We ordered two #3 combos (a tender, slider and fries) each combo was about $13 which you can't beat. Added a large Dave's sauce and a side of mac and cheese. The food traveled decently on our 20... read more

Business response:

Love that you finally got to try us! Appreciate the details and the combo hacks—next time, we hope to wow you even more with those fries!

The RVA Henrico location was great. Clean, the service was great, and the chicken was outstanding. I only tried the plain, lite mild and mild tenders, and I think they keep getting better the hotter you go. My friend tried the 2nd hottest and said it wasn't unbearably hot. I don't know how bad the reaper is, but I do know you have to sign a waiver form if you want it. 

Business response:

Glad you enjoyed our heat levels! The Reaper is definitely a wild ride if you’re feeling brave—hope to see you back for round two!

Great food. Yes it is just chicken tenders, but their seasoning blends are great. Quick, easy, and well seasoned. 

Business response:

Appreciate the shoutout for our seasoning! Hope to see you back for more!
