l've eaten here a few times and never had any problems. The restaurant is spacious and clean, with plenty of room to roam about and sit down to enjoy the food and art on the walls. The employees there are friendly and helpful. I usually order the sliders with medium heat, and they hit just right for me. My friend ordered the loaded fries, and while they are rather filling, they were not our favorite on the menu. The chicken did not appear to be properly cooked, and the cheese sauce tasted very salty, she ended up sick after eating it. Aside from that, I'd recommend eating here; just avoid the loaded fries.

Dave’s Hot Chicken in Fresh Meadows truly stands out for delivering serious flavor and consistency. The chicken is incredibly juicy with a light, crispy coating that doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, and the spice levels are actually meaningful—you can go from a comfortable Mild to a real challenge if you want the heat. The Dave’s House Sauce is on another level: creamy, tangy, just a little sweet, and it ties the whole meal together, especially when you dip both the chicken and the crinkle-cut fries in it. The sides are solid, the portions are satisfying, and everything comes out hot and fresh. And you absolutely cannot skip the Oreo milkshake—thick, cold, and packed with real Oreo chunks, it’s the perfect cool-down move if you go heavy on the spice. For a fast-casual spot, the flavor executi

Great food before the movies I came to watch a movie at AMC Flushing Meadows and arrived a little early, so I stopped by Dave’s Hot Chicken for a quick bite. The food was excellent—you can choose your spice level from none to very hot. I picked mild and really enjoyed it. The first time I visited, the place was packed, but this Sunday was calmer and still a great experience. I highly recommend Dave’s Hot Chicken if you’re looking for tasty food before or after a movie.

The first time having Dave’s was when it first opened nearby my gym Planet Fitness,Their chicken is well made and it’s very crispy. My experience when I came through was it was packed at the start due to the grand opening but at the end of the night it was worth the wait.The service is pretty good,They get you right away in no time!The quality of the food is off the hook.And this place is definitely a really good one just like QDOBA!

First time visitor after seeing all the buzz about cauliflower 'not' chicken and the mozzerella sticks. The hot cauliflower was truly perfection! I'm so happy that daves is doing what no other chain is doing for vegetarian and non-meat eaters. I really enjoyed the flavor and texture. Well done. The fries are seasoned but very mid The hot mozzerella sticks were very good also. Very similar to chilis mozz sticks, but daves is dry rub seasoning so it different and very flavorful. I think daves is doing big things here and i hope they keep the cauliflower and mozz sticks on the permanent menu and ill be a customer forever! Employees were very friendly and helpful. They all kept introducing themselves by name, which seem like it is probably annoying for them, but they were very friendly. Th
