It's fairly not new new anymore but as soon as the doors opened I was the fifth person in line. Upon entering the ambiance is nice and inviting. Tables were neat and clean as expected again they JUST opened. I got #4 but the cauliflower sandwich and I ordered the chicken bites just to say I had the chicken. Now hands down that was a delicious crispy juicy but not fully soft still has chew in the middle I don't believe the chicken sandwich hitting on that cauliflower. It comes with cheese and I added all the pickles and the D... read more
Great chicken. Very busy, the staff handled themselves quite well, especially on a Friday night. Tried the Carolina Reaper tender, it's not for the weak. It is not to be taken lightly.
Business response:
Respect for taking on the Reaper—it’s definitely not for the faint of heart! Glad you enjoyed the chicken and that the team handled the rush well. Hope to see you back for another challenge soon!
My husband has eaten at a Dave's Hot Chicken in California but this was my first time. They were having some technical difficulties so the wait was long. That being said the staff gave updates and were extremely kind and professional. I have the slider in medium and it was great! The kale slaw and pickles made it perfect! Their fries were hot, well seasoned and fresh. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will be back!
Business response:
Love hearing that the team kept things professional even with the technical issues! Medium is a solid choice, and we’re glad the slaw, pickles, and fries brought it all together. Looking forward to your next visit!
Really tasty chicken. Very simple menu which helps the line move pretty quick Don't be a punk. Get the reaper.
Business response:
Solid advice—Reaper is for the bold! Glad you enjoyed the chicken and the quick-moving line. Hope to see you back for more soon!
I gave in! Dave's Hot Chicken!! I got extra hot and hot There wasn't much of a flavor to the chicken it just tasted hot (I'd rate 7/10) Once I put the sauce and honey like the employee suggested, it tasted better; increasing it to an 8/10. My husband got lite mild and mild. He said the lite mild didn't have that much flavor but with the sauce it was good giving them a 7.5/10. I suggest you get the sandwich and not just the tenders because they aren't that flavorful. The sauce, slaw, and pickles help increase the flavor. Frie... read more
Business response:
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Sounds like the sauce and honey combo was the move. We hear you on the wait—things do tend to mellow out after the hype dies down. Shoutout to you and your family for giving us a try, and we’d love to have you back again!
Tried the reaper tender... don't recommend. I had friends throwing up in the parking lot, and I went to take a shit after and my asshole is still burning. I might have burnt all of my taste buds and I'm pretty sure I'm hairless back there. That's how hot it was. I couldn't feel my face and my lips were numb. Honestly should be illegal to serve shit as hot as that...

We're sorry for falling short of your expectations. Your satisfaction is important to us. Let's make it right at dhcfeedback.com. Thank you.
The food had zero flavor. I got the number 4 with medium spice level. The chicken was all spice and no flavor. The fries were ok at best. The sauce added some flavor, but this meal was extremely mid. However, the customer service was great and the dining area was very clean. And I am one to always finish food IF it's good.

Ridiculously overpriced and extremely slow. They prioritize online orders so if you order at the counter, you're waiting for 30 minutes when it's not even busy. The dining area was full but no one had food. It's a simple fast food establishment and they expect you to tip the counter person typing in your order. Never going back. It was clean and the woman that took our order was nice. That's the only reason they got two stars.

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?
Rude employees, chef told cashier to lock the door at 8:50pm so they could "take a break" when there's people pulling on the door handles to get inside the restaurant. Where i then waited 30+ minutes for my order which usually comes out in about 5 even when it's busy. A family who came in after us got their food before us and when my husband walked over our food was just sitting on the counter. Absolute fucking joke of a staff member and restaurant. Just went to leave and the door was fucking locked. at 940 pm when they clos... read more
