    2 tenders meal
    Andrei L.

    I drove by this location of Dave's Hot Chicken a few times and saw that it had a pretty big following. Finally came with a friend recently to try it for dinner. Seems like the place uses a lot of red and yellow in its marketing and is popular amongst young people. The vibe was pretty popping and lively when we walked in and the place was pretty packed out. I ordered the #1 combo (2 tenders w/ fries, $13) and my friend ordered the 2 sliders meal ($15). The total for my meal came out to $14.11. Unfortunately, the meals don't come with a drink, which was pretty disappointing. I found the chicken pieces in our meals to be pretty big. The tenders were pretty sizable and the sliders that my friend got seemed closer in size to actual chicken sandwiches. So that was good. I got the 'mild' level of spice. It wasn't spicy at all but the flavor of the rub was really good IMO. The chicken seemed like it was relatively high quality for fast food. The tender had a good crunch to it and the chicken was pretty moist. Overall the tender was excellent and I was impressed. The fries were pretty normal, crinkle cut fast food fries. Pretty similar / same to the fries you'd get a Shake Shack. They were good as well. The tenders meal also come with pieces of white bread, which were nothing special but appreciated. They also gave more food than I thought they would w/ the combo, but wasn't overwhelming. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by my meal at Dave's Hot Chicken. I guess they purposely don't include a drink in the meal so that you buy one but I think it's messed up they don't. I think the price point is almost where it should be, but too expensive by a few dollars, especially without including a drink. Also, it seems like the family meal options were pretty expensive as well, such as $50 for 10 tenders. Cheers.

    Yummy, yummy yummy. So much food for a restaurant in NY. $12.99 tenders on steroids, lol, fries, pickles, and bread. A must try.

    This location is new to the area and has a very vibrant and modern design. The food was good the first time I came however the pictures of the sliders they have on the menu are very misleading making it seem the sliders are bigger than they are. After receiving the sliders it was very disappointing to see it was just a chicken tender cut in 4. The sliders were all connected not even cut. The food is good however after eating it a couple times it seems to lose its novelty. The staff is young and seem to need more training as they try to rush you when ordering, this has happened the 2/3 times I've been to this location.

    Dave, I love you man. That was some damn good chicken! Normally I'd say that chicken was fire but on Thursday I was wiping my eyes from the heat. The spice level was hot, the next time I come I'll kick it down a notch. This is not "Nashville style" chicken, the heat is controlled by the spice rub. First time here, I grabbed a two piece chicken tender combo and a fountain drink. The service was great, the young man who rung up my order was polite and the dining room staff was constantly wiping down tables. The restaurant is set up like a typical fast food spot, there are also outdoor tables to enjoy if you want to dine al fresco. My order came out pretty quickly. I grabbed a table and took a bite of the spicy chicken. The chicken tender was cooked perfectly, very juicy. The heat? I tried to control it with their sauce, which reminded me of Chick-Fil-a sauce but man it came thru in every bite. Even the french fries were dusted with a little heat. I did love the crinkle cut fries, they added to the overall meal. Dave? This is the start of a beautiful relationship. Now come to Stony Brook

    My wife and I finally decided to check out Dave's Hot Chicken after hearing so much buzz from friends and seeing it all over social media--and let me tell you, it lives up to the hype and then some. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a fun, energetic vibe--hip-hop music playing, the smell of crispy fried chicken in the air, and a neon-lit atmosphere that made it feel like more than just a quick bite. This was an experience. We ordered a combo to share: two sliders and fries, and also added some mac & cheese and kale slaw on the side because, why not go all in? I went for the "Hot" level and my wife chose "Mild", just to test the heat levels without completely burning our mouths. The chicken was perfectly fried, golden brown with that signature crunchy coating on the outside and juicy, flavorful meat inside. It's honestly some of the best chicken I've had--spicy, but not overwhelming, and the seasoning is on point. The sliders are huge--don't expect some small sandwich. The soft bun, the crunchy slaw, pickles, and Dave's sauce bring it all together like magic. Every bite had texture and flavor. The fries were hot and seasoned well, not soggy or too salty--just right. Even the kale slaw was surprisingly good. I'm not usually a slaw person, but this one had a nice tang and freshness that balanced the heat from the chicken. We also really appreciated how clean the restaurant was. The staff were friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there--one even came by to ask if we were enjoying the food, which you don't always see in fast-casual spots. My wife, who's usually pretty picky about fried food, literally said, "This might be the best chicken sandwich I've ever had," and she meant it. We were both full, satisfied, and even ended up taking some leftovers home. The only warning I'd give is: if you're trying one of the spicier levels like "Extra Hot" or "Reaper", be ready! They're no joke. But for spice lovers, that's part of the fun. All in all, Dave's Hot Chicken absolutely delivered. Whether you're a spice lover or just looking for crispy, craveable chicken done right, this place hits the mark. We'll definitely be back--and next time, we're bringing friends.

    The staff here are very polite and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised that amidst the crowd, they all remained calm and very pleasant. Food is served quickly and prices are affordable considering the amount of food. The chicken slider (hot) was indeed hot with a good flavor. The fries have a great crunch. But, soooo salty! I couldn't finish them and I love fries. Security is also outside of the restaurant as it gets very crowded and there are a lot of energetic teens dining

    I guess this must be just a Chicken Tender

    Dave's Hot Chicken has finally made it to the Island!! My favorite hot chicken sandwich hands down and I'm so happy they're here. It's day two so the lines are extremely long but they're efficient and kept it moving. Customer Service? Amazing, 5 stars. I got 2 sliders and cheese fries and it was just like I remembered. Thick, juicy and spicy as hell! I love it!! I also ordered a single slider, mild for my wife and that's where something went wrong unfortunately. Maybe I'm missing something but as you can see in the picture it's a tender and a slice of bread with a couple of pickles. No sauce, slaw or bun, an actual slice of bread. I'm guessing we were mistakenly given just a tender. It looked so paltry next to everyone else's food lol. I gave my wife my bun and slaw and it was that brought it back to greatness. Other than that, it was amazing, I highly recommend Dave's and I'm thankful that the opened just far enough away that I can only go every now and then because if they were closer I would be there every day.

    Came here with the girls on a Thursday for lunch, it was super busy & luckily we were able to get a table. Got 3 orders of the Dave's #1- Mild, which consists of 2 tenders & fries served with sliced bread, pickles & Dave's sauce. Service was very friendly, the food took awhile (15+ min.) but everything was really good and perfectly seasoned. They also gave me extra Dave's sauce packets. I loved the fries and the tenders were juicy & flavorful. Way better than my first time trying it at the Fresh Meadows loc. I'll definitely be back again!

    Now this was my first experience at Dave's hot chicken in general (yes I'm late to the game) but boy am I glad I went. First off the service here was impeccable, for a quick bite everyone was very friendly and generous. The place is small, the seating inside can maybe accommodate about 30 people I would say? The decor is really nice. Of course I had to try one reaper slider, so I got one reaper (which I'll include a picture of) and one hot slider (forgot to take a pic of it) and fries. I asked for everything to be well done including the fries. Everything came out perfectly. They were extremely generous with Dave's sauce as well as ketchup. The reaper is hot! It's a good hot. As a fun of spicy food this was delicious. The chicken was cooked to perfection, the inside very moist with great potato buns holding the slider together with pickles. Absolutely delicious. I waited about 10 mins to eat my 2nd slider and fries, both still piping hot! Absolutely gem of a place. They also have a rewards program, definitely well worth it and I'm glad I tried it. Better late than never lol.

    Always heard of the food. They opened up this not too long ago so i have it a try. The fries are good , the chicken is good. The spice becomes bitter the hotter you get it though. Service was fast place was packed. Louis ambience.

    Service was quick but was crowded. Food was subpar, maybe I ordered the wrong thing but I got the chicken bites, and it was just ok. The ice cream shake gave me a stomachache unfortunately...pretty disappointed as I was looking forward to this place. The ambiance and theming was cool.

    Chicken sliders with fries

    Never heard of Dave's Hot Chicken until I saw they were opening in Nassau and there was a huge buzz about it. Figured we'd go check it out after a kids outing that was around the area. Considering it's a fast food joint, my husband did not have high expectations of the place. Oh boy...he was chewing and chomping away while repeatedly saying "MMMMM!!!", "WOWWW", "I did not expect this". My boys were nodding their heads and putting their thumbs up. We had another family with us and they were very happy with the food too. You can order based on your heat tolerance, ranging from 7 levels of spiciness, No Spice to Reaper. Their chicken slider was very crispy, juicy, tender and absolutely satiating. The soft bun with the pickles and cole slaw, along with the big juicy bite of fried chicken definitely hit the spot! We devoured the Oreo milkshake, it was the perfect milkshake. My husband and I don't even like milkshakes! It was a perfect combo of ice cream and Oreo cookie bites. Both our kids loved their the chicken mini sliders. They are basically the same as the chicken slider but with the chicken bites. The chicken bites have its own different marinade. Whilst the chicken slider is a big piece of fried chicken with Dave's signature drizzle sauce on it, the nuggets were a little more wet with a smokey and zesty zing to it. Although I haven't been there in a long time, this spot reminds me of a less fussy and less expensive version of Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken. DEFINITELY COMING BACK SOON!! Very satisfying and hits the spot 200%!

    Love Dave's Hot Chicken! This location has it together and the spice levels are consistent. The staff were attentive and professional. Great location with parking and also large windows for natural light. Plenty of seating and organized layout.

    Stopped by Melt Shop in Roosevelt Field Mall for a quick lunch, and it hit the spot for what it is…read more Greasy, indulgent comfort food that puts a smile on your face. I ordered the buffalo crispy chicken tenders with a side order of fries. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, and the fries were well seasoned and crispy too. Can't go wrong with it. Nutella milkshake was also very yummy. I'm a big fan of the spread so it's nice to try it in a milkshake form. I did also order a chipotle chicken salad but they went a bit too heavy on the cheese which overpowered the salad in my opinion. I will try it next time without the cheese. The place is in the food court, so it's casual and loud. There is usually more seating but since came the weekend before Christmas, it was a mission to find an open seat. Service was quick even during a busy afternoon, and the staff was friendly. Portions are generous for the price, though yeah, it's a bit on the pricier side for mall food. Glad to have given this place a shot! I will definitely try again in the future during mall trips.

    Came back this time with an actual picture of the caesar wrap!!…read moreIt was a 10 for me yet again. I substitute the tender with grilled chicken and it's perfect for my liking. Not dry, a good size, and a classic caesar taste which is my favorite with wraps. I recommend this for a quick lunch vibe at the food court.
