★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Simply Kimmy · Feb 2026

We went for the very first time and we were excited. We ordered our food. I got the 18 piece flight wings with fries $20. My husband got the 2 sliders combo and a drinks total with a tip $47. They didn’t get our name or give us a buzzer that other people had so we waited 25 mins before my husband had to get up and ask. They had our order name under Chris which is weird in itself. But the really awful part was the chicken. Was it fresh yes was it flavorless also yes. My husband didn’t like his chicken at all and I tried it too and it was awful. It has absolutely no salt and was bland. The only wings I enjoyed were the hot honey ones which I would eat again. As for the barbecue they were so spicy and not in a good way. The buffalo were okay. I only finished my hot honey. We won’

Fries 7/10.... seasoned crinkle cut Pickles 10/10... crispy and cold Slaw 7/10.... wilted and soggy Chicken 5/10... Strips are large, which is a huge thumbs up. Strips were not seasoned properly making them bland to the taste. Taste comes more from sauces rather than the chicken. Spent $85 meals and drinks.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently took my daughter to Dave’s Hot Chicken after she saw it on TikTok, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! Initially, I hesitated, thinking it might just be another fried chicken joint, but I’m so glad we decided to go. The place was buzzing with energy, and now I understand why—it’s truly worth the hype! The food is exceptional! While it's comparable to Raising Cane's Chicken, Dave's brings a unique twist with their flavorful seasoning options. I went for the plain chicken sliders—simple yet so satisfying—and my daughter opted for the mild hot chicken sliders, which she absolutely loved. And let’s talk about the fries! They were absolutely delicious, and the sauce that accompanies them is a must-try. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection, making our di

Service and atmosphere is nice. Prices are decent. I had the 2 chicken tenders, which came with fries. Seasoning was nice and the 2 pieces filled me up.

★★★★★ 5.0 Nadz Malik · Mar 2026

The food was so good! The area is a little busy but’s it is always like that so not much to complain. Their food is so perfectly seasoned and freshly made never given cold food. I would recommend Dave’s Hot Chicken to anyone.
