The food is great. Chicken is huge and fries are well seasoned. Love the top loaded shakes. Ores is my favorite. 

Business response:

Ordered a meal online for my wife, daughter and myself. Some thoughts. . . I had the two slider (hot) and fries combo. My wife had the cauliflower slider (light mild) and the half pint of pickles. My daughter had the slider and cheese fry combo. While I definitely tasted the heat, I didn't get much in the way of flavor from my sliders. My daughter had a similar reaction. I would say the sliders were much larger than I expected. My wife liked her cauliflower slider a lot. The fries were good - some seasoning and pretty go... read more

I was excited a Dave's Hot Chicken was opening in Milford, because I liked it so much when I tried it in Brooklyn. I went to the supermarket by my house today, but it was a zoo, so I walked right out. What a perfect excuse to eat out for lunch with my daughter and finally visit this spot. We got lucky with parking in the lot right out front. I was surprised how spacious it is inside. I love the graffiti on the walls, feels like a taste of NYC. The line went quick but the order took a bit long; it was expected with how busy... read more

Sounds like you were really looking forward to this visit, so we hate to hear it didn’t live up to your first experience. The mix-up with your order and that chewy piece definitely aren’t what we aim for. If you’re open to it, please reach out at dhcfeedback.com so we can follow up.

The hype is not real -- it's a cheaper version of haven hot chicken -- the foods ok if you want cheaper food than haven hot chicken but it's definetly nothing to go back to -- been there done that -- basically the McDonald's of chicken 

Business response:

We get that everyone has their favorite spot, and we appreciate you giving us a try!

Last Friday and Saturday, I decided to visit the new Dave's Hot Chicken in Milford, CT! I had seen so many videos on my instagram feed of this place & many of the patrons eating big portions of hot chicken, fries and a signature sauce that looked interesting. On Friday's visit, it was less busy & I ordered online to pick up. It did take a good amount of time to get done. When I walked in to get my order I noticed it was clean and very new! I got the tender + slider, fries and Mac and cheese. Combos comb with a slice of white... read more

I'd say the food is just average and definitely not worth the 45 minute wait. That's right I waited in line to order for approximately 10 minutes and then it was 45 minutes until my food was ready. This was at 2:00pm on a Friday afternoon. The Mac and Cheese is average at best. It tastes like a box Mac and cheese. The chicken has a decent breading and is cooked well. The medium sauce was a miss for me. It wasn't spicy at all and had somewhat of a sweet taste. I didn't care for it. The fries were excellent. Da... read more
