This was my first visit to a Dave’s Hot Chicken. I was not sure what to order, and the person at the counter was very helpful and helped me pick an item. I got the combo plate of chicken tender and single chicken slider with fries.

As someone who passed the one chip challenge, the reaper seasoning is intense. They have you sign a waiver for a reason. I love spicy food, but next time I’m going to order 1 order of the reaper and something less intense for the second to hit my macros. Lol.

I don’t know about you, but I love my Chicken and French Fries fried to a golden crispy crunch with a tender flavorful inside. Dave’s Hot Chicken has this down to a science. My chicken was hot, fresh and so tasty. Not bogged down with grease or tons of breading. I ordered my spice hot and it was the perfect amount of heat and packed with savory flavor. The best fast-food chicken I’ve had!

First time here and will be the last time. The menu picture appears to be small so it is deceiving and undoubtedly made customer to order more. The portion is actually fairly decent and surprisingly came with other side orders; 2 pc of bread.. DQ troll? The bread was not buttered but you do have an option to ask for honey or other sauce for the bread. It came with good amt of pickles, salty and have a good tangy flavor. The fries is really good and came with thousand dressing or at least it tasted like one. Now you are probably wondering why the two star on food? Well let’s start with drive thru. Your order are taken right before you approach the drive thru window, much like Dutch bothers when they are busy, so not sure if that is the case. But either way, she was fast and efficient. For the price of $11.99 without drink, as you pay, there is a feature of tipping??? Now I don’t mind tipping but this is such a turn off esp with the price menu! For 2 orders totaling $24 without a drink, I might as well have sat down at apple bees and got their 2 for 25/30 for that price. Then once you approach the drive thru the staff was really nice but I can see a huge hickey on her neck… your personal life is your own but covering it up should at least be appropriate while you are working. That’s my take on that. Friendly staff though. Great location and looks busy and I’m sure ppl enjoy this place. This is my personal opinion so I am trying to be fair when I do reviews.

This place is awesome. The chicken was perfect, crisp yet super juicy and delicious!!! The fries weren’t amazing but perfectly cooked and good. I got my spice level as hot on my sandwich and it was just the right amount of heat. My wife got the no spice option on her tender and loved it. It tastes like it was batter dipped but I don’t know. I highly recommend it and suggest to read with caution the reviews that say Fil-A and other places are better or it was bland because that is not the case, I will DEFINITELY be back. Thanks Dave’s!!!

First time here! Food was good, was expecting a better chicken flavor. Too much spice. Not hot just felt like I was eating spoonful of seasoning. Fries were good, definitely recommend the macaroni it was delicious Fanta was great. This place wouldn’t be my first choice. But I would recommend trying it if you haven’t.

We mainly came here because of the funny logo in the squeaky chicken joke that we had within our circle of friends but sure enough we were also hungry and once we decided to dine in at the shop we were pleased with the food. The chicken was crunchy and tasty. We really appreciated that we could pick our own spice level for our order of food. It was really fun to read the story on how this place has become and how it started all with $900. I would definitely come back here again if I’m ever in the area.

First: This is NOT better than Chick FIL A. The chicken here is BLAND. Unless you use Dave’s special sauce on it. Chik FIL A sandwiches don’t have sauce and they still have lots of flavor.

Went in at opening night to give it a first try! It was pretty good, including the side of fries and Mac. I did get the “hot” flavor of chicken and wasn’t spicy at all, but once u hit extra spicy and reaper it goes from 0-100 real quick

Got this for the first time today and it definitely exceeded expectations. At first I was worried 1 slider wasn’t going to be enough but it definitely filled me up. I didn’t even finish all my fries. The chicken was hot, and even though I did no spice, it still had great seasoning taste. Even the fries are seasoned. They were also nice and crispy. The building was very clean, staff were friendly and greeted upon entering. I ordered through online and it was done by the expected time. Their sauce is super good too! Definitely recommend and will definitely get again in the future. Beats KFC and Chick fil A for sure!
