Chicken was dry , didn't know the "sauce" was a dry rub . Flavor was good but for the price I think there is better. Service was okay couldn't really hear the guy taking our order as it was so loud in there . Experience would have been better if the music wasn't so loud .

This review is a little late but I did go here the first week that is was opened. Pretty impressed with the fast service considering it was busy and during lunch time. The vibe I would describe in this restaurant is cranked up a level from Canes. I am talking about the inside of the restaurant and food itself. What you are getting here is initially chicken tenders that are deep fried in spicy seasonings. I have a pretty high tolerance for spicy so this was as nice addition to the city as the tenders are actually spicy (I got... read more

I love Dave's hot chicken and have probably eaten here about 15 times since it's opened; including July 4 opening day. The staff is friendly which is appreciated but I've had some dramatic long waits on food here, my husband waited over an hour once for my order. My biggest complaint is that the spice level never seems to be correct. I order HOT every time and seem to keep getting one tender hot one extra hot. Or both extra hot tenders. Also the size of the tenders has decreased since open. Will I be back? Yes because this l... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken started in 2017 with $900 in a parking lot in California. It has grown to nearly 300 restaurants globally. The location near my house opened a couple of months ago. Orders are placed at the counter and prepared fresh, so there is a little bit of a wait even when they aren't busy. The menu is pretty simple, led by their famous chicken tenders, which can be served alone or as a slider sandwich. They also have chicken bites, fries, mac & cheese, and kale slaw to round out the menu. All chicken can be served ... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken just opened up in Cincinnati, so of course we had to give it a shot. I'd rate it a solid 3/5. Here's why: The first time we tried Dave's in Florida, the chicken was dried out and definitely not it. Coming into the Cincy location, things were better--food was hot, fresh, and the fries were on point. The chicken pieces are huge, which honestly threw me off a little (kind of gives GMO vibes). The seasoning and pickles? Loved those. They add a nice kick and crunch. But the sauce... not a fan. It comes in a m... read more

Caveat, they have only been open for 3 weeks when i went. I ordered at the counter and have a few comments. 1. I had an offer for a free drink through the app which did not get added even though they scanned the code from my phone. 2. I was perfectly directed by the cashier to the right spice level for me. YAY. 3. The girl put in the computer the wrong amount of cash (with coins) I gave her and then could not make change... i told her what the correct change would be but she seemed to think i was trying to get one over on he... read more

Good flavor. Good service. Food came out fast and hot, pun intended. The "hot" was too hot for my husband. The medium was just right. I would return.

I was really impressed at how this popular restaurant lived up to the hype. The chicken truly was breaded, seasoned, and fried to order, and that makes it worth the wait that you will have. Even if you don't like "hot" chicken, they have a version with no spice. My other favorites were the mac & cheese and the crinkle fries which were seasoned really well. I really wanted to try one of the milkshakes, but the machine wasn't working unfortunately.
