Dave's Hot Chicken is a Hot Mess!!! After waiting almost an hour for a #3 combo. The food was cold and awful 😖.. The chicken had no flavor. It was drowned out with hot, spicy seasoning.. I didn't receive any dipping sauce. Any other chicken restaurant would have been better and much cheaper.. My order was placed at 7:13 and I received my food at 7:53.. I asked for a refund but the manager didn't know how to refund my money.. Sad, sad experience and a waste of my time..

First time trying and thought it was great for fast food. Decently priced and got alot for the money. I ordered the loaded fries and didn't realize how big the large was... it was so much food but very good. Had cheese sauce, with some good bites of chicken, kale slaw, pickles, and Dave's sauce. I ordered medium hot chicken and it wasn't spicy at all, I'll definitely try hotter next time. Was a decent line and it took a little bit to get my food but that's the only gripe.

When this place opened up in Suffolk, I saw nothing but never ending lines. It didn't seem worth waiting in lines going all the way to Narnia for some fast food. Now that the lines have died down, I decided to try it. Then I had to go back again later that same day and try it again. I now consider myself enlightened and understand the long lines. I picked the "spicy" level and I loved everything about my chicken sandwich. I was surprised that even something as simple as the pickles were big, nicely cut and very delicious with a nice crunch. The chicken itself...... juicy and so much flavor with a nice heat to it. I might have to try their next level of heat next time. The loaded fries were also amazing and I can't believe I found a joint where I can enjoy something better than a classic ch

The cashier at the window was really nice when I was placing my order and at the window as well, I wish I could if gotten her name because I haven't seen great customer service at a fast food place in a long time. The cashier made sure she gave us a good amount of sauce to go with our food. The food was delicious, the milkshake was delicious as well. I had a great enjoyable experience at this restaurant. The food was pricey, I had a #3 and Oreo milkshake for $26.00.

Dave's is a fun and spicy experience where you can enjoy a variety of chicken and non-chicken dishes. I was captivated by the wild exterior colors emblazoned on the outside so I was naturally curious to try the food. The service was friendly and the cashier did a great job walking through the dishes. I opted for a medium heat sheet they said you'll get a bit of kick- more on that in a bit. The combo included a slider and a chicken strip and fries. I ordered a strawberry lemonade minute maid slush to pair with my meal. The wait time was about 8 minutes and the packaging for the food was well laid out on the platter. The food was really good with extra thick pickles with a good crunch not soggy or drenched in pickle juice. The fries had a nice dusting of cajun like seasoning. The
