This Daves Hot Chicken is surprisingly very large with plenty of space for seating available. I got a large chicken sandwich with fries that were cooked perfectly. The service at this location is also very friendly!

Came here on a Tuesday and there were lots of seats available. The place is pretty clean and workers were friendly. I ordered #2, 2 sliders+fries (switched out fries for Mac and cheese). You can customize the heat level of the tenders, I picked medium and hot and they tasted pretty similar. The seasoning is very flavorful and the tenders are juicy. My partner ordered extra hot and reaper and he said there was a big difference in heat level between the two. Fries were seasoned well and the mac and cheese was good (thick chee... read more

The portions are huge and the milkshakes are tasty. If you like spice, order up a level spicier than you think you'll want. I hope we get one closer to us soon - I'd go again!

This is a hopping place to get some fried chicken strips. They have strips in a sandwich or alone with fries or as a side. They have a couple of sides you can order too - claw, Mac & cheese. If you are into a hot and spicy meal or a mild one, you can regulate the amount of heat! They have water, soda and slushies to complement your food. The food was good but the line to order was long around 7-9pm. 20+ people. Forget about the wait for your food. It was even worst. Mobs of people waiting for their food, hovering near ... read more

I don't understand the hype. Very busy and definitely a place for the Gen Z crowd. The chicken is too heavily seasoned for my taste and they just give plain white bread for its slider sandwiches. I prefer Raising Cane's 

Business response:

Chicken had great flavor but less moist than Chick-fil-A and Raising Cane's. Service was busy and slower due to mobile and take out orders. Ambiance was cool comparative to Raising Cane's decor and vibes. Hot level chicken was a bit too hot for me but the combo was filling. 

Business response:

Thanks for the awesome photos and stellar review. We appreciate you taking the time to stop by and show us some love. If you have a minute, please reach out to us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc and tell us how we can earn that fifth star

The slider and tender are generously sized. The slider is served on soft, pillowy bun that complement the crispy, well-seasoned chicken. The heat level is customizable, which makes it accessible to both spice lovers and those who prefer milder flavors. The slaw and pickles add a refreshing crunch, cutting through the richness of the fried chicken, while the Dave's sauce ties everything together with a creamy, tangy kick. The fries are thick-cut, crispy, and well-seasoned. Portion-wise, the #3 Combo is filling without being... read more

I don't even have enough words to convey how much I love Dave's Hot Chicken and their perfectly seasoned fries. I'm so glad they opened across the street from where I live. So convenient, delicious, and great staff! They make your custom order so, there's a bit of a wait, since it's always crowded.. but it's worth the wait because the food comes out very fresh & hot! You can order on the app for pickup, so your wait won't be as long. The food is sooo good; it's worth the wait if you plan for it. The chicken is tender ... read more

I don't care what the reviews say. A company doesn't go, in less that 10 years, from an initial $900 investment, a picnic table and portable fryer in a parking lot (according to their marketing) to 200 locations nationwide attracting a private equity offer rumor of $1 billion dollars to buy the company if they aren't doing something right. With the experience I had it confirms to me that they are. I waited for the hype to die down a bit because waiting in long lines in the freezing cold for fried chicken (or any food hype) ... read more
