Daughter has been DYING to try the “not chickn” Very generous portion, super crisp & fresh. Loved it. The staff working were extremely nice and helpful. I had no idea they would give us service, but the lady was so sweet and came by our table and asked if we needed anything else. Asked for more Dave’s sauce & she hooked us up. Wonderful experience. Employees were so friendly. Atmosphere was nice and clean.

**Dave's Hot Chicken Review – First-Time Visit: Solid Food + Outstanding Service** I finally tried Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time and walked away really impressed. Overall, it was a very positive experience and I’ll definitely be going back. The food was solidly good. I got the chicken tenders with fries and a couple of their sauces. The chicken was juicy with a great crispy coating, and the fries were fresh and well-seasoned. The sauces had nice flavor and weren’t just heat for heat’s sake. What I loved most was the wide range of heat levels—they actually give you real options from mild all the way up to “Reaper,” so you can pick exactly what you’re in the mood for without gambling. But what really stood out was the customer service. Every single employee I interacted with went

I recently tried Dave’s Chicken and had mixed impressions. The spicy chicken itself had a strong Indian spice flavor, which was actually pretty interesting and flavorful. However, the chicken nuggets were disappointing they had black spots on them and looked old, which was off-putting. The vanilla shake was overpriced at $7.99 and basically just vanilla ice cream with M&Ms felt like a bit of a scam. On top of that, the meal combos don’t even come with a drink, which is unusual and disappointing. The condiment options are extremely limited; all they have is their Dave’s Chicken sauce, honey, or ketchup. No honey mustard, ranch, BBQ, or anything else. That said, the customer service was top-notch. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive it’s just too bad the food didn’t match their

Did a pick up order, convenient pickup area. I’ve been wanting to try Dave’s and it was worth it. We got the 2 sliders and fries and they were tasty. Big tendies, nice bun, crispy fries. Got the medium level it wasn’t that hot really, will get hot next time. Comparable to Hattie B’s IMO. Will be back 👍

I got the regular size Buffalo Mac & Cheese and let me tell you it was disappointing First thing I noticed was 75% of it was FRENCH FRIES, I thought I had the wrong order at first! Second thing is, ironically enough, the french fries ended up being BETTER than the mac! The mac was not seasoned at all and the cheese was bland. The fries had seasoning! Third thing is the chicken was solid. I got the Hot spice level and it was, indeed, hot. The ratio of fries to chicken heavily favors the fries The portion size was good though. Almost 12 bucks (after tax) for the regular size. It's not too bad but SKIP THE MAC i will return for the hot honey chicken, i do want to try that but i was so disappointed in the mac i had to write a review right away
