Cool spot but it is always packed at lunchtime. Friendly service and quick ordering. If you order the Reaper heat you have to sign a waiver at the register. It is hot (spicy) as hell but not dangerous for a spice fan. Good flavor and crunch on the chicken breading.

We visited Dave's Hot Chicken on a busy Friday night with our family, and even though things didn't start perfectly, the way the team handled everything -- especially Andrew -- turned our night around completely. We were told the wait would be about an hour, so we ordered and spent the time talking and enjoying shakes. After a while, we checked on our order and realized it had been ready for some time, but the buzzer never went off. When we opened the food, it was cold, and honestly, we were disappointed. But this is where... read more

Pretty solid chicken strip joint. I do not recommend the reaper, coming from a xxx-green Chile New Mexican.

The food is really good just the only issue I think since it's really new sometimes the complete order isn't made the way it was asked so we have to send it back.

First time ever here. I must say they blow Canes and nasty Slim chickens out of the water. But needs to come with a warning. The spice level is good, I got Hot and it had kick but nothing I couldn't handle. Helped clear my sinuses and my Bowels. It didn't take long after eating, that I had to run to the bathroom. It was like I drank colonoscopy prep for dinner. Even with that said I would go back and try again. Only downside to the place is 1 bathroom for all to share. Not the smartest move for a place with gurgle guts ... read more

Food was good If you don't order online be prepared for a 15-20 minute wait. That's too long a wait for fast food. Got our order and it was missing the kale coleslaw I'll give it another try when the hype finally die down at this location

So I really just wanted to see what all the hype was about including was there truly a reason to stand it a line for over an hour for it to open or was it very popular elsewhere and nm was just excited to see a new restaurant? There was no line so I seized the opportunity. The restaurant was full, no empty seats inside and plenty outside. The staff was very efficient and welcoming. I ordered a slider, it was the size of a normal sandwich with kale slaw, pickles and crinkle fries. Don't really care for crinkle fries but ... read more

We came on a weekday evening hoping the line wouldn't be too long. The line still went out the door and it was still about a 45 minute wait to get our food. On the upside about waiting in line is that you have time to think about what you want to order. There were no seats available inside and they also had some outdoor seating but we decided to take our food home. It stayed warm for the drive back which was nice to know our food wouldn't get soggy during the ride. I decided to get the Dave's #1 which is two chicken tenders... read more

This is my first time here. I'm so glad we visited when it was not busy. Because I've been eyeing this place for a while, since they opened. And all the days I've passed by, the line is literally out the door, to the street. I've also heard stories of long wait times for food. Today was definitely not the case. Parking is abundant, it just depends on where you want to park. Because if you want to get up close to the restaurant, it's hit or miss. There was a small line when we got there. We decided we'd give it a try. Again,... read more
