I had a really disappointing experience at this Dave's Hot Chicken location. I spent around $60 on two meals and mac & cheese, and the order was completely incorrect. Instead of the spice level I ordered, I was given Reaper-level tenders, which normally require a waiver. Because of that, the food was completely inedible -- I couldn't eat it at all due to how extreme the spice was. This isn't a small mistake; it's a serious error, especially considering the safety aspect of that spice level. Timeline: * March 10: I contacted customer support and provided my receipt * March 13: Followed up after being told it would take up to 3 business days * March 16: Followed up again requesting a resolution * Now (over a month later): Still no response or resolution I was initially offered only $20 compensation for a ~$60 order, which doesn't reflect the situation at all, and after that, communication completely stopped. Spending $60 on food that couldn't be eaten, combined with being ignored for over a month, is extremely frustrating. At this point, I'm still waiting on a proper resolution. I hope management takes this seriously and improves both order accuracy and customer support. read more

Drive out of my way to treat my family to Dave Hot chicken. Better than Cane's or chick fillet.

After a long day, I decided to treat myself to a delivery of DHC. Ordered the 10 piece bites meal after seeing people reviewing it on social media. This had to be the worst experience. See pics. I ordered them with no spice and got a handful of tiny, gray looking bites that had spice and were dry as a bone. They were hard as a rock and the texture was as though they'd been sitting under a heat lamp for many hours before I got them. I had to spit out most of the coating because I thought it would break a tooth and there was hardly any chicken. Absolutely terrible. Close up image shows how just how bad this was. read more

My go to item. Item 2 From the menu. 2 sliders with fries. My levels spiciness is hot. They have extra hot and another hot level above that. I remember I saw a disclaimer on their website when I attempted to choose that spice level for the chicken. Sliders are very good and the fries are also golden crispy and crinkle. Chicken is a solid piece with Coleslaw n pickles. they do have a reward program also. Service is counter order and pickup for dine in and carry out. Usually, u are welcomed with a greeting when entering Dave's. I'm a regular. Thanks. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Made-to-order spicy breaded fried juicy chicken was served with their signature sauce. The cashier was friendly, answered questions and took the order efficiently. The ambiance is your typical of a fast food place but don't be confused! This is not fast food! Each ordered to customize to your specific spice level. They also have shakes and slushies on the menu. If you like spice, this is a must-try!!! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Strawberries and Creme Slusher - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

woow gotta say I'm shocked! I wasn't expecting this chicken sandwich to be so good and am pleasantly surprised! I feel like the prices are reasonable (about $8 for a sandwich), and it's super yummy. I love the choice of the potato bun patty, which adds sweetness and chewiness to the juicy chicken. The spice levels are actually quite high, so beware if you get the extra hot or reaper! it definitely had me sweating. The sauce is also great and tangy, and the pickles cut through the fattiness and heat of the sandwich very well. I would come again despite not being a big chicken sandwich kind of person and the rather limited menu! service was very fast and it's definitely more of a quick bite or pick-up-and-go with limited seating / square footage inside the spot itself. It has a cool vibe with graffiti art on the walls to observe while you're waiting for your order! read more

awesome chicken good location friendly staff will be coming back Love the slushee please is welcoming read more

It's a fast food chain kinda vibe. Order at counter, pick up food at the counter. They have seats you can self seat. Self-serve. Food was good. Had a bite of the reaper, I normally cannot handle spicy food, and it wasn't too bad. Although I can see the spice grow on you as you eat. My friend suffered from eating half the reaper though. read more

After seeing Dave's Hot Chicken in a reel I had to try! We tried the Mac and cheese; The cheese tasted fake to me, I was better off microwaving one from a Kraft cup. We ordered hot tenders (to go) and it didn't disappoint. I was worried it would taste like Tabasco sauce like some other places do, but it was seasoned well. All the seasonings had a party in my mouth; It tasted like real chicken, fresh, juicy, tender, crispy, spicy, and flavorful. *Update* I went again and tried their slider. I usually don't like cold slaw but this tastes so great in the slider. I recommend They spin the kiosk around so you can tip a cashier. This is getting tiring. read more

That was a slot of really good food for such a good price. Paid like $16 for 2 sandwiches and a side. That's unheard of in NY. It was tasty too ​ read more

Pretty good! Didn't think the hot was very hot and it didn't have much of a flavor either, but the next spice level was a jump which I really enjoyed. The meal is a lot of food too which is great! read more

I've always heard about Dave's Hot Chicken and it's surprising to see one open up in Bay Ridge. I'm not complaining though because at least I don't have to go all the way to downtown Brooklyn or Manhattan for it. I ordered a slider at the mild level because I didn't know what to expect. It was honestly not spicy at all - I would think it's the no spice level if I wasn't aware. My brother ordered the extra hot level and now THAT was spicy for me. My comfort zone is probably around the medium and hot levels. Either way, mild was still flavorful with all the spices on it, and the cole slaw and pickles added a nice crunch and freshness to the sandwich. It did its job in cutting the grease. The chicken was also pretty big and juicy. I would love to come back and try their tenders and cheese fries! read more

WOW! Their chicken (by itself or in the sandwich) was soooo damn juicy and well seasoned! The sandwich was delicious w/ the cole slaw + pickles! Fries were ok. There was different spice levels & we tried medium and it had a great kick to it. Excellent food! Fun modern decor w/ tons of indoor seating. Food came out quick. read more

A friend picked up a few combos from here as they're newly opened in Brooklyn. I've had my fair share of Dave's Hot Chicken in LA, but I must admit it's one of the better spots for Nashville hot chicken. The sliders are huge and filling; they're more like burger size. The seasoning they put on these chicken is flavorful and full of spices while tender on the inside. Dave's have been popping up everywhere and I'm happy for it. Good, consistent hot fried chicken here! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - 2 Slider Combo and 2 Tender Combo. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

So me & the wifey decided to hit this New Dave's hot chicken spot in our home town Brooklyn baby on this Monday 12/19/22 around 8:30 pm .... Yes it's a lil late for us but we figured we let the traffic die down in the Belt !!! Just a heads up my fellow Yelper's that I'm already a fan of Birdies Hot Chicken gave them 5 stars after eating there over 5 X's but as y'all know me I am a foodie so I had to give Dave's a try !! So let's find out !!! Ok, as y'all know I will never throw out a Four or Five Star rating until I made at least three visits & sampled more then a few of their favorites...... The place was jammed packed and just kept getting busier and busier by the second; we scored a table as soon as we walked in; just a heads up they only have 4 - 4 tops / tables & seating for three at the window.. The chicken; I ordered their Daves # 3 signature sandwich with 1 - Chicken tender, mild; The Wife went with Dave's # 1 which is two tenders with fries, the wife does not do heat so she went with no spice; then we each ordered a extra tender each one mild & one no spice.... 1- Soda & 1- Kale slaw @ $45.00 The food; The wife's tenders were both huge and as per my wife they were moist & tender fried on the well done side. My Chicken; the sandwich was good everything on it including the bun was super fresh; I did add honey & extra Dave's house sauce I felt it needed it to add more flavor to their chicken. My tenders compared to my wife's were on the smaller side very noticeable and they fried them too long so my chicken was dry ... also had to top them with extra Dave's house sauce & honey to enjoy them ... The fries are good well seasoned; the kale slaw was good .... Now, like I said I'm comparing Dave's to Birdies and Birdies in my opinion beat up Dave's chicken in every way.... The staff was super friendly and their service was fast and their restaurant was very clean ... Would I recommend, yea if ya in the area; would I come back ? Only if I was in the area I would not drive out of my way ... We didn't get the Wow factor !! Go hit Birdies Hot Chicken & let me know !! Sorry Dave I so wanted you to be better then Birdies ... Thanks, Greg D & family read more

Dave's Hot Chicken has recently opened a Bay Ridge location and I was eager to check it out when I had the craving for something different from the usual mix in the vicinity. For a neighborhood with a strip that used to offer a lot more by ways of shopping, we had what amounted to almost all of the major fast food places. DHC is brightly painted on the facade and its interior walls and as one young lady walked out I asked how it was and she said "get the #3" which I found to be a full chicken sandwich and a slider. This is served with french fries and pickles and the consumer can decide on a few levels of heat. I opted for Hot and Very Hot which was the second to last under Reaper and I will say that Very Hot might kick your bottom if you aren't ready for it. The order took a few minutes to prepare but it was on the busy side and I don't mind this since I leave with the notion that my item was fresh and not just sitting around under a lamp. The kitchen area is partially visible and the staff were quite busy. That night there also appeared to be a manager on duty as she had a clipboard and seemed to be in charge of the operation. Let's face it, they have to come out of the gate strong since there are a half dozen other options within walking distance along with a bunch of restaurants. Once I got home I dove into the meal and it was quite good. The chicken is coated with a spicy blend but I wouldn't consider this a breading like we find at places like McDonald's or Wendy's etc. That had a nice bite to it as well and as I said I chose the Hot and Hotter levels of sauce. I was glad I had some ice water handy for the very hot option even though water doesn't really help much with that. The chicken fillets used on both slider and sandwich were very large and left me full and just opting to relax for a little while in front of the television. I will say that there could have been a few more fries to the order but that was my only gripe. The downside to some might be the price since they are a little pricier than some of the other joints around us but you are getting a good portion and something that seemed to be less on the greasy side to me. Overall I liked what I had and found the staff pleasant. I told the girl with the clipboard that they were doing great and welcome to our neighborhood and I think she appreciated that. Do try them out when you are visiting Bay Ridge. There are a few tables to sit at should you choose to dine in but its a tight space and too confined for me so I just opt for "to go". read more

I love daves hot chicken. I came here for the first time to try the reaper spice level chicken tender. It's very, very hot! You are required to sign a waiver to try it. And that alone makes me want to go back. I recommend you drink a cup of milk 15 minutes before you eat anything above hot. Just so you won't wake up with that ball of fire in your stomach feeling.trust me, i know.I love incredibly hot food. The chicken is very good, moist, and flavorful.as for ambiance, there is plenty of seating inside, and it's decorated with street art style paintings. It could get a bit noisy if you stop by during after-school hours. There's not much to say about the service. They were welcoming. read more

I was in the area after my yoga class and was looking for something to eat. Lo and behold, I found this place. I must have entered about 11:30am, so it wasn't crowded. Barry was the counter person. He greeted me as soon as I walked in. He was very pleasant and professional. He was honest about the level of hotness/ heat levels. Very polite and made all customers feel welcomed without being phony. The place is very clean and a good amount of seating. I ordered take out. I had the two tenders and it comes with one side, they also give two slices of bread and some slices of pickles. I chose the Cole slaw for my side and was very pleased. The chicken was seasoned well. I had one tender flavored hot and another medium. Both were juicy and bigger than I expected. I enjoyed the chicken and days later I'm still thinking about it. read more

Take the spice lvls seriously and you will be fine. I love a good hot chicken I'm not not as capable with spice. These are phenomenal when a craving hits. read more

great service and good food. The restaurant is clean. Only order extra hot if you can eat hot and make sure you have plenty of drink.

Decent slusher. The burger/fries all had the same monotonous dry rub on it. Meh. NOT worth a second try.

For someone who doesn't like hot sauce anything, coleslaw AND really spicy food, this place is pretty damn good. We've tried this place twice, and have had nothing but great things to say. First time was in store when we were eating our way through DT Brooklyn and second time was an online order from the Bay Ridge restaurant, where it's much closer to us. We drove by this location accidentally the day before and my husband was really excited that we don't have to drive further out for some hot chicken. I didn't go inside the Bay Ridge location, but the downtown one was clean and had plenty of seats all through the space. The line wasn't too long when we went in, but service was fast. The tenders are huge! 2 orders of the 2 tenders and fries meals are enough to feed my four young boys ages 1, 3, 6 and 11 (and they can eat, lol). Hubby and I got the 2 sliders meal to share and I was pleasantly surprised at how juicy the chicken is - at both locations. Considering how much my husband likes this place, I gave the slaw a chance, kept everything standard and didn't remove anything from my slider. The slaw cuts through the flavors of the chicken tender quite well, the freshness, cooling effect and crunch of it along with the pickles bring a balance to the slider. The fries are pretty great as well, and we are picky about fries in our house. read more

I got the #3 1 tender + 1 slider with fries combo and really enjoyed my meal. I ordered the "hot" spiciness level and found it to be the perfect amount of heat. The bun, pickles, and Dave's sauce complimented the juicy chicken so well in the slider but the slaw was just meh. The tender was ok...probably would skip it next time and just get the slider. Fries were very well seasoned and tasty. My order was ready at the estimated pickup time and the cashier was very friendly. Tables were clean and the walls are very colorfully painted. Definitely will be back if I'm in the mood for a hot chicken sandwich. read more

I was excited to try this spot but it didn't really do it for me. Ambiance is cute but I was expecting more from the food. The chicken to me wasn't fresh I've had way better chicken sandwiches from other local fast food chains. A bunch of seasoning but no flavor for me. The fries were sub par and it was a bit over priced for the meal for it not to be that good. Service was good very friendly staff. read more

Ordered for pickup via their own app and DoorDash multiple times. Sometimes it was not made at the time I requested for pickup so the bun was soggy by the time I picked up. The hot is not spicy enough, the extra hot is a little too hot but really good anyways, the reaper is no joke, extreme and I had to chug some milk! The chicken is flavorful and juicy while fries are nice and lightly crisp on the outside and potatoey on the inside, just how I love my fries. The service is nice and quick as soon as I get there to within 5 min of time requested. Docking a star for how pricey it is for a fast food joint and my soggy bun a couple times. read more

Tried the new Daves Hot Chicken location in Bay Ridge today. It was very good and juicy chicken. I tried a Medium, Hot, and Xtra Hot tender and I have to say the Medium and Hot did not have much heat at all in my opinion. The Xtra Hot had a little more kick but not what I imagined... I suppose that just gives me more reason to go back now and try the "Reaper" (their hottest flavor and apparently they make you sign a waiver for). I will definitely be back!!! read more

I have eaten about a couple times at this location, and the food was amazing. The spice variety allowed for me; a picky eater myself, to actually really enjoy the food. I couldn't really come up with a specific problem. There was this one time where I got the wrong order, with the sliders being mixed up with tenders, but wasn't much of a problem. The ambience of the store overall was great, didn't have any complaints about it, and it was unique, allowing it to stand out from all the other fast food chains in the area, and I do wish for the franchise to succeed: Overall, it was hella good, and I am craving more. Bit pricey, but willing to keep on spending read more

New spot in bay ridge, wanted to give them a try since the last time I had them was in Vegas. In Vegas I tried the hot wings and regretted it, way too hot. So now I settle for the mild which is great. No complaints about the food or the customer service BUT expect to wait 20-30 minutes for food. I have been here twice now and it's the same wait. They're literally apologizing to every customer for the wait. I don't remember myself waiting this long in Vegas so I don't know what the issue is here. It's barely tolerable but forgiven because the place is new but with all the other places around that they're competing with they better tighten up if they're looking to retain. Also with the wait the place which is already small gets too crowded. 3 stars read more

I wanted to see what this place was about but to my chagrin did not live up to whatever that was. I mean it wasn't horrible but it wasn't tasty. I got my offer from DoorDash which was timely like most fast food places. Just a little disappointed this didn't live up to expectations. read more

I was in the neighborhood and came across Dave's Hot Chicken. I ordered the 2 sliders and Fries combo (one medium and one Hot slider). I did not expect the sliders to be so good. The tenders in the sliders were very juicy and delicious. I really liked the Medium spice slider as it did not destroy my sinuses, but gave a small kick. The Hot Slider was pretty hot for me. Both sliders were very good. The Dave's sauce was good and tangy. The sliders also came with a generous portion of pickles, in the sliders as well as extra on the side. They were more burger size than slider size. The buns are very soft just like the ones you get from shake shack. We also got a side of mac and cheese. It was what you'd expect out of mac and cheese, nothing special. Very runny. Overall, I really enjoyed the sliders and would definitely come back if I want to try the reaper spice level. read more

Dave's hot chicken isn't really spicy if you can handle it. Their chicken is always juicy. I enjoy the slider a lot which comes with a slaw and soft bun. The chicken tender comes with a slice of bread and pickles. The Dave sauce is a nice dipping sauce and get some honey too. The combo comes with fries but you can substitute it with Mac and cheese. Both of these sides are good, depending what I prefer to eat for the day. The service is quick, there are a lot of people working in the kitchen. The shop is small with really cute graffiti on the wall. And this spot is so close to the 86th st train station. read more

Holy crap if you like spicy...this is a good option! Delivery was super fast. I chose the hot option for my sliders....and WOW! I can't even imagine what the hotter options are! I have a pretty high tolerance to spicy and my eyes are tearing! I am very pleased and will DEFINITELY order again! read more

Fine for what it is. The hot chicken is spicy for sure. But real Nashville hot chicken isn't as oily as it is here. Other than that, the food tastes good. But it's also pretty expensive. read more

I didn't eat inside the restaurant, there really isn't that much space inside to eat. The restaurant was clean and decorated as any regular NYC restaurant is. There was no line, and the cashier who took my order was friendly. Ordered a vanilla shake and some chicken tenders and waffle fry combos. The chickens have different levels of heat. I did mild cuz I'm a , my partner when with hot. It was so good, I'm not usually a fan of spicy, but this was flavorful and spicy. So my mouth kinda burned, but I was definitely licking my fingers after. Didn't break the bank either, spent about $25-30 and got a generous portion of food. Make sure to get wet wipes, you will need them. read more
