This is not the first time I try Dave's hot chicken. I have tried one of their locations in the city but didn't completely love it. I'm glad there is now in a location in Queens with a huge parking lot. The prices are not very cheap but they do give good quality chicken. You can control the level of spiciness you want and their combo comes with fries, chicken and bread if you order the sliders. The chicken is very moist and flavorful and the fries are seasoned nicely. I will be returning.

Located in the large outdoor mall so lots of parking. Lot of seating too, we went on Thursday for dinner before a movie and had no trouble getting seats for 6 of us. Food takes a while to come out, waited about 10 minutes after ordering but they had a lot of pickup orders. Tried the spicy and mild. Spicy was just spicy with no real flavor just heat. Mild was okay too but the honey does add a nice sweetness. The Mac and cheese and cole slaw were good sides and they allow substitutions with the fries.

I tried Dave's Hot Chicken today and honestly had a good experience! The chicken tasted super fresh and you can tell it's cooked to order. I went with medium heat and they nailed it--it had the perfect kick without being too much. At first, I was a little unsure about the price, but after trying it, I get it--it's definitely about quality over portion size. The portions are fair, not huge, but it was still filling for me. I ordered the #1 (2 tenders) and swapped the fries for kale slaw, which was actually so good and a nice... read more

This was my first time visiting Dave's Hot Chicken, so I wasn't sure what to expect. My son and niece go often and love it. I went during school hours; the lines were long but moved quickly. I could tell it was the security guard's least favorite time of day. There's plenty of seating, and the staff was constantly wiping down tables. We ordered the lite mild tenders with fries, a chicken sandwich, and a mozzarella stick. The chicken was okay, but even the lite mild was too spicy for my palate. I like eating the tenders wi... read more

Absolute hit with high school and middle school students like myself, never have been so happy, even had a long talk with high school students when I paid for a $70+ order with my new years money, had a quick blush since there was mostly girls in the table, the food is amazing, lots of variety, and the whole atmosphere is just crazy with a fresh meadows spray paint art on the wall 

Business response:

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!

Best chicken sandwich EVER! So fresh that it was almost too hot to eat! Seasoned fries were delish--and the dipping sauce?!? YUM!! So good that my son who dislikes pickles, actually eats the ones that come with the meal because he says they are so good dipped in the sauce! The staff was friendly, helpful and eager to please. Great buzzing location with an upbeat vibe--definitely the perfect dining destination for any chicken craving cool kid! 

Business response:

Tasty and just enough flavor and spice. Fries are seasoned well. The food is always delivered quickly and hot. Pickles are always crunchy. Food is placed neatly and never messy. Try them out - the quality is really great.

I haven't been here in a while and since the place has adjusted to the neighborhood I would say the lines are no longer crazy. The menu has also been extended which is great. I see they now have cauliflower on the menu, bites and shakes. My daughter and I each got a shake which I don't think is worth it it's basically ice cream in a cup with topping on top that's it. I say use a spoon because otherwise you will waste so much like we did. We also got tenders my daughter did like they weren't as big as the first time when we c... read more

Conveniently located on 188th with a shared parking lot in the rear. There is an entrance on both ends of the restaurant. They have a lot of tables, nicely spaced out of you choose to eat in. You can order through their app or at the cashier. There is an order ready screen. Service is friendly and efficient. They clear out the garbage cans and wipe down tables. If you like spicy, get the Hot, as the higher levels aren't as enjoyable. I haven't tried the Reaper, but seems more like a challenge level of heat than an edible ... read more
