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!

This spot is a little overhyped. I'd actually tried to come here twice already, but was intimidated by the line outside and lacking available parking spaces. So, decided to try on this random Thursday night, and there was parking on the opposite side of the building open and line wasn't too bad inside (not outside finally). However, there is a ton of open space at the counter area as it's one side for dine-in/placing an order and the other for pickup/delivery services. Honestly most of the people standing there waiting were ... read more

Business response:

Thanks for giving us a try and sharing detailed feedback! We hear you on the seasoning and spice levels—hope you’ll check back for a future round!

Fast food chicken tenders. Nothing more, nothing less so don't come expecting a lot of choices. The 3 of us ordered the tender and slider combo and a side of the Top Loaded fries. Everything was cooked well. Chicken was tender and juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Fries were crisp. We all got the Medium Heat chicken. It is not a sauce, more of a dry rub. We all liked it. Not too hot and when you first bite into it, a little hint of sweet. It was crowded but we only waited about 15 minutes. Not a lot of... read more

Business response:

This is their opening weekend and there was a line out the door. No parking, I almost gave up . I turned around and came back and waited for a parking spot and I am glad I did. The line went through pretty quickly, faster than I thought it would honestly. Once we got to the register, the cashier was very friendly, and gave us the run down. We got the $9.99 slider and fries. Next we had to choose the heat level. I did mild, and my daughter did medium. Mild was just enough to kick that it wasn't too hot for me. They also have ... read more

Business response:

So happy you stuck it out for parking and gave us a try! Love that you and your daughter enjoyed your sliders and that honey sauce combo. Can’t wait to spice things up for you again soon!

So terribly slow. Horrible system, lady left a line of people waiting for 20min just to order. Then I sat and waited for another half hour. My friend and I ordered together, and for some reason she got hers after the half hour and then I continued to wait while other people who ordered after got their food. So slow I will never think to stop here again.

Poor management, orders sit behind the counter getting cold because they only have one employee behind the counter who's taking orders. 

Business response:

Oh no! We're very sorry we let you down. We would like to make this right. Would you be willing to connect with us at dhcfeedback.com so we can get a second chance to impress you?

So we stopped by visiting from Hampton, on a Saturday evening around 6. Most of the tables weren't eating any food and the order line was getting long. Food orders were coming out slow. It took a good 30min for out food to come out. It was ok, it wasn't worth the long wait. It was really loud in there, not enough indoor seating for the amount of people ordering, people started sitting out on the back patio but it tried to rain earlier so those seats were wet. As we left we really didn't have anywhere to put our trash cuz one... read more
