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

We visited here because my husband has a desire to eat the stupidly hot chicken. My son and him had watched videos on how hot it was. The line is still really long so be prepared to wait. We ordered two number 1s and the nuggets plain. I got me out, he got the reaper. It was definitely spicy but he said it wasn't as hot as the pepper X sauce he'd ordered before. The flavor of the chicken was great, big tenders, and juicy. Hopefully when it does down we'll be back.

I went to Dave's hot chicken because I saw the line for the past couple of weeks and was curious. I got the number one extra hot. It was good- not sure about line were they? That's a little over the top. I think it's cause it's new but I liked it. The chicken was properly cooked and I like the sauce that they have with it. I was worried that the extra hot would be too hot, but not at all.

We made a pickup order but when we went to pick it up it seemed not be there like we never ordered even after we paid but the guy who was handing out orders, I wish I remembered his name he was blonde he was really helpful and really nice. He gave us free drinks for the inconvenience. I hope they see that's he's a good worker

Excellent spice levels with sauce and honey to dip your chicken strips. Better than Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers. Fries are seasoned well. Strips are well sized. Tried the Reaper! You are forwarned! Just because we are New Mexican with our Hatch stuff means nothing. The Reaper is for real. Brought tears to my son's eyes. Good stuff!

Good food, big portions. Worth the wait. Reaper left me with the ring of fire. You've been warned.

Best Chicken ever.... You won't be let down . Came here last night and I am going back tomorrow. The Mac and cheese is to die for. Service was great and plenty of sides to choose from.

Wait time ended up being 55 min total on a Monday at 3:30 from the line, to ordering, to getting my food. 10/14 order date after grand opening. Slider with cheese (medium) will be my go to. The flavor was the perfect heat and taste was delish. Tender ordered in hot (and I don't mind hot/extra hot green Chile here and there) but this was a hot I won't be reordering. I also won't be reordering the fries, they seemed crispy but the texture was off, possibly not fully cooked?! Interior has a great vibe, once the hype calms do... read more
