I love Dave's Hot Chicken. After trying their location on the UES, I was ecstatic to learn it opened near home. Simple menu, chicken tenders, chicken sliders, fries, and other sides and it's all nicely fried and seasoned. I like that the hot makes me pause between bites to cool my mouth; not a lot of places make their food spicy. Ambiance is simple as well, clean, and organized-- what you'd expect from a new establishment. Service is good when it's not busy. There's a lot of hype since they just opened (I understand) so it'l... read more

Appreciate the love! Love hearing that the heat makes you pause between bites—that’s the sign of a good spice level. Thanks for the support, and we’ll see you again soon!
Chicken joint known for its spicy, Nashville-style tenders, sliders, and kale slaw. Another new location for fried chicken. During their grand opening, this place was super packed. An ordering line, almost out the door. Loud club music was piping in through the speakers. Lets get this party started! The decor is cool snazzy looking graffiti art, lining the walls and ceiling. There is quite a lots of tables but all were filled on this crowded opening day. With school let out, lots of them must have ran over here. M... read more

Sounds like you handled the grand opening rush like a pro! Appreciate the honest review—hope we can win you over with an even better experience next time!
Decided to try this place out with my kids to see what the hype is all about. I got here at 11am on a Friday to avoid the long line/ wait, Amy who took my order was very patient, helpful & kind, and the restaurant itself was clean, spacious & all the graffiti inspired artwork looked amazing. I opted for the Dave's #1 (medium) and #3 (mild)- substituted the fries for mac & cheese for 1 of them. Was given a buzzer & waited exactly 10 minutes. Pretty pricey- $30 for 2 meals that doesn't include drinks ($6 (1) tender/ $8 slider)... read more

New location located in fresh meadows is really adding a spark to the neighborhood! My daughter and I have been waiting for the grand opening but the dates changed. As I told one of the owners it was well worth the wait. We got to go tonight and there was a long line that at first seems intimidating but we were committed. We were in line for about 15-20min but it didn't feel that long honestly we did review the menu ahead of time so we knew exactly what we wanted when it was our turn. They have plenty of seats that are cons... read more

Knew there was a halal Dave's somewhere, just didn't know it was this location. Was pleasantly surprised when confirmed halal. Service is exceptional, the staff are all so friendly & helpful. 3/5 Dave's #1 ($13): 2 chicken tenders, each on a slice of white bread, fries, pickles, sauce 3/5 chicken tenders: these chicken tenders are unlike any I've ever had before. I got lite mild & they're spicy, sweet, bitter, smoky? Seriously wondering what gives the bitter flavor. It'd be so much better w/o the bitterness. It's spiced p... read more

Appreciate the honest feedback! Glad the service stood out, and we hear you on the flavor notes. Thanks for giving us a try!
Be prepared for a wait, which honestly isn't surprising given it's a new location. The service, in the other hand, was disappointingly slow - waiting twenty minutes between ordering and food coming out after 40 minutes on line to order felt like a bit much. The chicken itself was okay - nothing special - and be prepared for the texture of a dry rub heat versus a sauce heat which isn't necessarily something I find enjoyable. The fries were fine, the plain white bread was plain white bread, and the prices weren't unreasonable.... read more

The wait is definitely longer than we’d like, and we’re sorry for that. Appreciate the honest take on the spice and texture—hope we can win you over next time!
Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance N/A newly opened so nice layout Chicken is good but a bit too oily (May need to change oil out time to time? Brother said the oil gave him a headache) Got slider and tender (#3 i believe) and mild... next time I go back I'll probably try the medium. Tender comes with a white bread(not toasted) Slider comes with like a potato bread/bun and veggies+pickles. I'll be returning with my wife n kid.
Business response:
Appreciate the feedback! Sorry the oil didn’t sit well with your brother, but glad you enjoyed the meal overall. Hope to see you back for another round!
The food was great however since it's new in this location it's extremely full and there are barely any seats. The bread is also a piece of wonder bread, doesn't even look or taste toasted. Therefore I'll give it a 4/5. The food was great and the service is great they get you situated fairly quickly.
Business response:
Glad you enjoyed the food! The location is definitely busy, and we hear you on the bread. Appreciate the review—hope to see you again soon!
The store just opened up so it's a bit packed, but the store ran very well! Lots of workers organizing lines, serving food, and making sure the store stayed clean. Lines were long but moved pretty fast. Lots of teens! The ordering and menu were very simple! They gave a beeping thing when the food was ready. The space was really large with plenty of seating for larger groups! Even tho the store was packed, seats became available pretty quickly. Now for the food, prices were fair and portions were amazing. The white meat of th... read more
