Dave's Hot Chicken

Dave's Hot Chicken is a chain of "Hot Chicken" fried chicken sandwiches, tenders, and other bites all based around hot fried chicken. Service can get really busy, and the place is located in a smaller strip mall area, so parking can sometimes be bad. The chicken itself is crispy, can be a bit dry but the spicy rub is good. The Dave's sauce is good, pairs well with the chicken. The spiciness isn't as apparent with lower levels but does ramp up, so be cautious if you can't handle spice.

Went to Dave’s Hot Chicken recently, and overall, it was a mixed experience. The staff at the front were hustling, clearly under a lot of pressure, but they still managed to get the food out quickly, so props to them. It did seem like they could’ve used a bit more help though. Dining in wasn’t great—couldn’t find a clean table. As for the food, it was delicious but definitely on the pricey side for what you get (chicken, bread, and fries—pretty typical nowadays). If I went again, I’d definitely go for a spicier option because the “hot” wasn’t hot/spicy.

The service from the cashier Josh was incredible. He greeted every guest with kindness, patience, and clear communication. I watched him handle pickups, discounts, and even a last-minute order change with total professionalism. For a fast-casual spot, the level of training and hospitality here is always impressive. Great staff and great experience every visit. The food was also on point!!

Was not crowded on Sat evening as before and line was moving fast. Dave's #1 two tenders with fries $12.99 Was very tender, good spicy, but portions got much smaller than before. Fries were a bit burnt and salty. For Parking, you are competing with next door TJ maxx customers...

I had a great experience at David’s because of Josh. He was friendly, attentive, and gave awesome recommendations, making me feel like I got a real taste of what David’s is all about. He was hard the whole time, kept everything clean, and even cleaned the bathroom right away when it needed attention. Josh truly goes above and beyond and makes the experience better for everyone.
