Dave's Hot Chicken

Dave’s Hot Chicken in Middletown has a fun energetic vibe and some great visual touches but the food experience fell a bit short. The inside is decorated with really cool artwork that gives the place personality and the touch screen ordering system is convenient and easy to use especially when the line is moving fast. Unfortunately the food itself was underwhelming this time. The chicken in my slider came out only lukewarm and the fries were the same. Nothing really tasted fresh which was disappointing given the hype and the prices. The seasoning and spice concept are there but temperature and freshness matter and that took away from the overall experience. Service was efficient and the place was busy which shows it is popular. I just wish the food had matched the energy of the space. D

This is the best chicken so far and I've been to over 20+ countries and all 50 states and been to 200+ chicken restaurants/food trucks. The vibe inside is very cool and reminds me of my childhood food court back in guam. This restaurant lives up to all the social media hype. I've been here many times and the only reason why I didn't give the food 5 stars is because the spice level is inconsistent, like one time I ordered medium and it tasted mild close to no spice. Then the next time I came here medium tasted very hot. The service is great overall but one time the manager came out and gave me and my little sister a free shake and a slushie.

Feels like a laser tag place! The food was good I got the medium sauce. Two tenders, on a bun doe, we call them sliders round deez parts. Water tasted fresh, refilled my cup multiple times, thanks Dave.

Great hot chicken sandwiches and loaded fries!!! I got mild hot on my chicken sandwich and hot chicken with my loaded fries!!!! I really enjoyed my meal! I’ll definitely be coming back!

It’s sooo delicious & the staff seemed nice! My boyfriend ordered the food but he said they were nice to him! But definitely recommend the chicken there! He got the sliders I got the chicken tenders! I’ve tried hot i found it spicy then I got medium and it was perfect! And the Mac and cheese, fries, & the kale side all so good!
