Very welcoming and the cashier Hailey was very helpful. She took the time to explain the menu,sauces and etc. The restaurant was very clean inside and out. The small Top Loaded Fries were served very hot! They're so delicious and very flavorful. I highly recommend Dave's Hot Chicken. I shall return. It's a very nice patio area outside, so that you can enjoy the beautiful weather and great music.Thanks again Hailey for your outstanding customer service!

The fried pickles tasted like old grease, they were unexpectedly mildly spicy, zero flavor of a pickle and the batter was very crispy on the outside but still wet and undercooked next the pickle on several slices we tried. The wet batter left an unpleasant coating on our tongues. We also had 2 #3s, one mild and one hot. The coloring on the crust was the same dark brownish red for both orders, the hot had a slight heat afterwards. The chicken tasted ok but it wasn’t amazing either. Both my husband and daughter thought the kale slaw was surprisingly maybe the best part of the meal. The fries were lightly seasoned and had a nice crispness when you bit into them. I would have preferred more seasoning on the fries. The drink station needed a bit of clean up. Tables were full when we arrived and

Never been to a Dave's Hot Chicken before. We love the music! (Super Gen X friendly!) The guy who took our order was very helpful and friendly. Portions were BIG for the money. . The restaurant was CLEAN! Great experience!

Absolutely!!! The manager takes his job seriously and it shows. Staff is well trained and serves a positive customer experience. After going inside, the restaurant is well taken care of and clean. Now for the food..OH MY...the not chicken for non-meat eaters is crazy good! The chicken, of course, is amazing!! The sauce, fries, and slaw add the final touches that take the meal over the top. WELL DONE DAVE'S COLLEGE STATION!!!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 John Childs · Jan 2026

So I went here for the current Fallout promo. The order was missed up and the cashier for sure was burned out/stressed out. Ended up with what I think is buffalo sauce tenders. Holy tar these are pretty spicy and good. Even through the cashier got the order wrong I think I somehow came ahead.
