Dave's is trying so very hard to be....I don't know what, but they're trying. The basic chicken itself is good. It's thick, juicy, well cooked, and the portion size is much larger than I expected. Everything else is distinctly meh. The spice blend is overly heavy on the cumin and on my first bite I had a coughing fit from inhaling the spice dust. After a few bites the flavor becomes tedious. There's nothing happening aside from heat. Given that the fries (entirely generic) are dusted with the same seasoning the whole mea... read more

Order at the counter and pick your heat level. I ordered medium which wasn't spicy at all. The made-to-order tenders were just completely saturated in an overpowering dry rub. It was on the fries, on the white bread, and all over me. The tenders are huge but the accompanying sauce does not go with hot chicken. It needs ranch or blue cheese. 

Business response:

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?

The food was pretty good, although the chicken fingers were fried a bit too hard. Still they were juicy inside and well cooked. The milkshake was ok too. The service was excellent and I hope it continued as this place matures. This place is a stone's throw from Guthrie's across the street. I didn't know so many chains could serve nothing but chicken fingers and nuggets. We'll see how they both perform over time. Oh yeah, when you pay the selection of how much to tip, if any, is a bit tricky. Be sure you double check. 

Business response:

We aim to impress! Thank you! Come back again soon!

For those like me who did not know: Nashville hot chicken = spicy dry rub. Now, onto the review. I was craving a fried chicken sandwich and wanted to check out the new spot that replaced BB's. We went in and it didn't seem too crowded. The staff were very polite. Despite what seemed to be a pretty slow night, it took about 15-20 minutes to get our food. I'll admit, it did taste hot and fresh so that could have contributed to the time. (But definitely consider the wait if you come hungry like I did.) I did not know Nashvill... read more

Bring me the heat! There's something about that inital cold burst of weather that gets me in the mood for spice. So around 8:30 pm, I drove 20 minutes to get some hot chicken. First, props on the music. Old school 50s and 60s rock and roll. There was a line of 5 or 6 people, even late on a Wednesday. I ordered 2 sliders (medium and hot) with fries. I was going to get charged for the drink, but the cashier took it off. I mean if you're getting hot chicken, it should be illegal to not include a drink in the combo meal. The... read more

I really enjoyed lunch at Dave's Hot Chicken. I took my daughter to lunch this afternoon and we arrived after 330. Parking was effortless and we scored a spot near the entrance ! Upon arrival there were no lines. The Staff member who greeted us was courteous and helpful. We decided on the Single Tender Slider with fries meal. The #4. My daughter ordered Mild and I ordered medium. Food arrived hot and fresh ! We really enjoyed the flavor the chicken packed and how juicy it was. My daughter is not a fan of pickles, but she tho... read more

Went back for round 2! This time I just got the two strip meal and wow, it was wayyyy more than enough food for one. The bread and pickles allow you to make your own little sandwiches. Totally worth it. I went right before closing and food was quick, hot and fresh!

Great food for a great price! We came in for dinner and the staff was super friendly. We got a TON of food for a good price. The fries are delicious- the portions are huge, I got a medium and didn't even finish half. The flavor is great, it's a great combo of flavors with the fries, chicken, slaw and pickles. The mild spice was perfect, it's got great flavor. Definitely try this place out!
