    Number 4. Medium. I added cheese on the chicken and fries
    Kimberly V.

    First time coming here and I thought the food was great. The girl at the counter was very helpful once I told her I never been there. I ordered a number 4 which came with a chicken slider, and fries. It did not come with a drink, had to purchase one separately. The burger was very juicy and flavorful. I got it medium because I wasn't so sure how "hot" their hot would be. The medium was perfect. I could taste the spicy but it wasn't too overpowering where my nose was runny. The spice levels are in the form of the seasoning on the chicken rather than sauce like on wings. Just an fyi. The sandwich also came with pickles and onions and I added cheese to it because cheese belongs on everything. Speaking of cheese, I got the cheese fries and they were sooooo good!! Nice and cheesy just the way I like it. And it's the good cheese too, not the cheap stuff. The place itself is nicely decorated inside. There's plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your meal. I would come back here when I'm downtown again. Next time I would try the next level or spicy chicken which in my case would be the "hot" one: I will update my review when I try it.

    Was really impressed with my experience at Dave's Hot Chicken. I ordered the two slider combo and shared with my husband. Pro tip: this is big enough to share between two people! I really appreciate that everything is made to order. I got the medium which was spiced to my liking and my hubby got the hot, which was pretty hot and he can usually take spice. We also got a side of Mac and cheese which was just okay. Will definitely be back for more chicken!

    I was staying in Brooklyn for the weekend looking an easy dinner and this was close to my hotel and I have always wanted to try it!! I placed an online order and it was ready and piping hot when I went to pick it up. I went for the one slider, one tender combo meal. They were both excellent but I'm not going to lie the star of the show was the slider with the Dave's sauce. The tender was good but not as good. I got it medium and the food was excellent! Great service 10/10

    The #4 meal. A slider and fries.

    This is a delicious chicken sandwich! I ordered the slider meal with the fries. I also got a bottled Sprite and a vanilla milkshake. They also have fountain soda and cups for water. The hot chicken sandwich is available at different spice levels. The "hot" spice level is very spicy but it tasted so good. The fries are crispy and seasoned well. My only complaint was the vanilla milkshake. It tasted like someone poured extra sugar into it. Lynelle C was a wonderful cashier and gave excellent service. The restaurant is a little loud because I went during the very busy afternoon time.

    I had no idea Brooklyn had this many Dave's Hot Chicken locations. (4 in total) I was able to try them recently thanks to Drake. Drake apparently is an investor in the business and for his birthday you could get a free slider via ordering from the app. Say less! I visited right before they opened. Only a handful of people were there. I was happy and shocked. The restaurant is colorful with graffiti art and very clean. All staff members were nice and helpful with getting the offer through the app. There is a good amount of seating. By the time I left the restaurant got very packed and busy. I saw on social media that there was an a line outside. The menu is pretty simple: tenders, sliders, fries and drinks. You can choose your heat level from the 7 options available. Ranging from no spice to reaper. I opted to get the slider with the kale slaw, pickles, Dave sauce with my heat level at hot. Boy was that mess hot! lol I was shocked. The trick is to add more of the Dave sauce packets to mask the heat. Once I did that it was smooth sailing. The slider was filling and fried nicely. I would definitely visit again but will opt for the medium heat. Follow @iFancyNY on instagram for more!

    This place used to be Hill Country Chicken. I'd say it's a suitable replacement if you're craving a chicken sandwich. It's smaller, but clean and the service is friendly and quick. I got my food not too long after ordering. The chicken sandwiches are awesome. The "Tender" looks like a giant chicken breast and is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I love that you can also control the level of spice for your slider. I initially balked at the price of the two sliders with fries (14.99), but it's actually quite a lot of food because the chicken in the sliders are huge. I think the meal has a little more value because the sliders alone are 7.49. Overall good.

    I liked the food here but the wait turned me off. I may try to come back at store opening or after 2pm . So basically it is chicken fingers or chicken sliders Fries and shakes. One can order no spice or up to fire spice I liked the freshness of the slider bread (potato roll) and the crunch on the fries. The chicken tasted very fresh and non processed. I got mild spice slider and a packet of honey that made my slider taste even better. The #1 came with cole slaw and pickles. It might be worth the wait because my food tasted very fresh

    Service was decent. The wait wasn't long and it wasn't too busy. The food is a good 7/10. We got medium heat and it wasn't hot at all. I'm from Louisiana so I know heat. However, the food was tasty and I ate it all. The sauce is good too

    Delivery review. Despite having lived in many states where this chain operates (including it's original home), I somehow had never heard of them until to today. Kept it simple and got the 2 chicken tender meal. Totes Obvs they're sizeable tendies, like 90s tchotchkes-on-the-wall-chains (TGIFridays, Chilis, Ruby Tuesday's, et cetera). I liked the online options of spice level and side for each tender (or maybe that's just a weird doordash thing). Really, just solid tenders. The mac & cheese was similar to Kraft but cheesier. That may sound like an insult, but let's be real, so much hipster mac and chee is bland AF, and this is not. The random pieces of white bread feel like a remnant of from whence the chain originated, but whatevs (couldn't tell if they were toasted long before being put in the box, slightly stale, or had just reacted poorly to the condensation in said delivery box). Can't speak to the pickles as I am not a pickle person and as such I had them prevent pickles from pickling my plate. The tenders were solid in texture and flavor, with pleasantly recognizable spices that would make you believe you could recreate them at home if you decided to put in the time and effort. Would definitely reorder and/or explore the menu further. Side note: had to put the cat I'm cat sitting in the bathroom until I was finished because she would not stop trying to steal my meal...

Nicely charred where it needed to be. The kind of chicken that makes you pause mid-chew and point at the plate like, okay, now hold on. The beans were killer. Full flavor. Rich. Comforting. Not an afterthought hiding in the corner of the tray pretending to matter. These had real presence. The kind of side dish that starts acting like it pays rent. Deeply satisfying. Very much giving do not overlook me, sweetheart. And the rice? Stand up. Seriously. The rice came in with backup dancer status and somehow turned into co-lead. Fluffy. Well-seasoned. Actually worth eating on its own, which is rare because a lot of restaurant rice just be there for emotional support. This rice had purpose. This rice had ambition. Service kept things moving and the whole place felt easy to enjoy. No extra drama. Just good food doing what it was supposed to do. The atmosphere had that low-key, no-nonsense energy where people clearly came to eat first and talk later. Exactly the kind of mood a chicken spot should have. it's giving... every member of the group project unexpectedly pulled their weight.
