The chicken and cheese fries are phenomenal! I got the two piece hot and wow! Super crispy and crunchy with a nice amount of heat. The pickles are a nice touch too. The young woman at the counter was super friendly and helped me make a decision on my heat level. I'm a fan! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Mac and Cheese - Chicken Shop Near Me - College Station, Texas

My boyfriend and I had decided to dine here tonight (10/13) due to the fact that you are able to get a free slider. We placed an online order and were planning to scan the reward to get the slider in person. When we walked into the restaurant, posted on the window was "Free Sliders are only given out before 9PM." So basically misleading advertising but we weren't too upset since we had ordered plenty of food and were still excited. We wait longer than our estimated time for the food to be ready, but once again we weren't upset due to the fact that it was busy and we knew that the workers were trying their hardest to accommodate everyone. When our food was finally ready the employee told us that "she didn't see that our shake was our 3rd item and that they are cleaning the shake machine, it'll be back either Thursday or Friday." She then proceeded to say "if you want a refund for the shake you have to contact customer service." So the whole entire reason that we had to wait even longer than our estimated time was due to the fact that she didn't realize we had ordered a shake and then proceeded to explain that we have to contact customer service to get our money back. I'm frustrated because not only did we not get the free slider but then we couldn't even get the shake that we paid for. Not to mention, it was not posted anywhere that the shake machine was down, nor was it on the website. read more

Came here for the first time with my kids. We had the chicken tenders and sliders with fries and mac'n cheese. Everything was really delicious. The coleslaw in the slider was on point. I'm not a big pickle guy, but these large crispy cuts were doable. The fries are well seasoned and the mac'n cheese were a bit gooier, but delicious. Each came with a Dave's sauce which is a sweet dipping sauce. It was pretty flavorful. Self serve fountain drinks available. Overall, a bit pricey, but definitely worth it once in a while. I think it definitely surpasses Cook Shack and Raising Canes. The staff were all super friendly and fast. A good amount of tables to dine on. The overall ambiance was really nice, kind of artsy. Small parking so good luck. read more

Dave Dave Dave... man of the hour. I sincerely enjoyed your hot chicken. Was looking for a spot open late since we had just finished watching FSA Isang Mahal dance competition... was in shock that UTD's FSA modern team Maharlika didn't win... so I needed a place to cheer me up. Well, safe to say, Dave found me at my lowest. Got the two slider combo, and true to its name, they slid right down my mouth!! YYYYEEEEE OUCH DAVE'S CHICKEN WAS HOT! But I couldn't resist putting them away. Burned my throat, but Dave's chicken was the GOAT! Jamie was the cashier, and he was a really chill guy. Thanks for the service! He brought our drinks to the table, made us feel special heh... such a kind guy...ATTENTION LADIES! He is single and ready to mingle! (I think). Thank you for your love Dave read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - College Station, Texas

Not sure why this has a bad rating. I've been twice for lunch while working at A&M and enjoyed both times. You can see in the pic the sliders term applies to the roll, not the chicken. Pieces are huge! The sauce they give you is tasty and fries are crunchy. Wish they had ranch but it's all good. The workers are always nice and the place was clean both times. They offer student discounts with ID. I'll go back again when I'm in the area. read more

Amazing staff and food, I would totally recommend it. The decoration and seating is awesome too!

Hailey did an amazing job she delivered our food to our table and made sure we were taken care of the whole time 5 star service

Awesome customer service overall!!! The staff is super great and the food is amazing!!!! The area is also super clean and chill.

My husband had the number #3 the 2 chicken sliders with fries (extra spicy), while I ordered the #2 the one chicken slider & I chicken tender (baby, so no spice). We finished it off with milkshakes which were so creamy & thick! Everything was hot, delicious & just the right flavor. Would highly recommend. read more

I hope whoever responded to my last review sees this. Whoever you are, I simply don't believe you care about customer experience. If you did, something would have changed in 3 years of me getting food from this location. The waits have only gotten longer, the staff less helpful, and the food worse quality and prepared slower. I sincerely hope that you get some dignity and don't respond to messages by pretending to care, it would save both of us time. This place is horseshit, don't eat here. How do you make Mac and cheese unappetizing??? Go out of business already read more

Service was amazing! The lady at the front was very sweet and helpful despite clearly being busy with the drive through. Nice environment and food. read more

Good place for some late night fried chicken. I usually eat here, and the sliders are pretty good, but there is always something wrong. The drink machine is usually bad on average, not sure if the drink mixes are bad or it's just a bad machine. The meal overall is a little overpriced too compared to other places. The service is usually decent, but it can get busy and slow sometimes. Inside, you can usually find a table, but there isn't that many. Overall, I'm usually dragged here by friends and I don't mind it, but it's not amazing. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - College Station, Texas

Had heard of Dave's from a friend and definitely wanted to try it while in College Station. It did not disappoint. Parking can be a bit tricky if you haven't been here before. It's not hard but you have to park around back or to the side. It's in a small strip so the front spaces are reserved for other businesses. There is an inside do ing room and a patio. There is also a walk-up window to pick up to-go orders. They serve a variety of chicken fingers, sliders, nuggets as well as cauliflower nuggets. They have heat ranging from no spice to reaper. I chose hot and got the 2 sliders and fries. Let me tell you the sliders are really the size of a regular hamburger. The chicken is large and hangs off of the bun. The heat was perfect and the slaw and pickles really balanced everything. The fries were hot and crispy. All of our food was fresh. We tried the Mac and cheese and it was very creamy and had that taste more like a restaurant versus fast food. They do serve a small variety of beers although we just had sodas at lunch. The Dave's sauce is delicious whether you dip your chicken or fries in it. If you ask for extra you get a large packet (I do think there was a small charge). Tiffany was the employee who took our order and provided us everything we needed. She was so nice and helpful. The location does have a drive-thru as well. Overall, we had a great experience and I have put Dave's at the top of my "hot chicken" list. read more

$49 for two meals and two milkshakes... absolutely ridiculous. And the food was gross. It was just powdery chicken. Would not eat again.

Really good fried chicken sandwich. The medium has great flavor and seasoning. Highly recommend this place. Believe the hype it's good. The service was amazing!!! read more

Overall pretty good. My college age son picked Dave's Hot Chicken for lunch so in fairness this is not the sort of spot I would normally choose. Menu is very limited, only fried options, no salad option. The Yelp directions are slightly off so be aware of that. I did love the generous side of pickles served and fries and Dave's sauce were really good. Chicken tenders were very large. I got medium spice and that was perfect for me. I imagine anything more is really spicy. The chicken is in what seemed like a rub. Rubs are not my favorite and I didn't like how it turns your mouth orange. Was a little pricey, especially for a college town. Meal prices similar to other places, but drink is sold separate so that gets expensive. Generous portions and overall good. My son looks forward to going back. read more

My husband and I ordered the slider and I got the nuggets. Both our orders were beyond salty. I have heard really good things about this place so I was looking forward to trying it. I'm not sure if ours were just way over seasoned by accident but unfortunately we couldn't eat it. read more

Food was bland. I could deep fry the chicken and pour a generic hot sauce off the grocery shelf. I ordered the chicken with a medium heat just to gauge the hotness and flavor. Chicken was dry. Also tried the Mac n cheese and it was so-so. Service was slow. Went through the drive thru. Young woman was polite when she asked us to hold to order. She came back on the speaker about 1:45-2:00 minutes later. After we ordered, it took about 8-9 minutes before our order was complete. We went through the driver thru. The outside of the store was very clean and did look inviting. I just wished the food matched the ambiance the store front portrayed. read more

Terrible service, female employee started yelling at us rudely when there was barely any ambient volume from existing customers. When asked for student discount, she asked for two separate student IDs even though only one of us was ordering. This goes beyond being a piece of shit. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Front - Chicken Shop Near Me - College Station, Texas

Staying in Austin for a business trip my husband is on and we decided to drive a little over an hour & a half to see what the hype was about because I've been wanting to try it for a while. Honest opinion: it was trash and not worth the drive. The bread sucked, the fries sucked, the cheese was cold, the chicken was alright but not as good as the pics at all. The owner definitely invested a lot of money in photography and advertising. Spent a lot of money on the atmosphere because it does look cool in there but the food itself wasn't that good, if I'm being honest my stomach kind of hurts. Definitely not worth the 3 hour drive there and back. The drinks were only some fountain drinks and basic tea. I think if the owners offered a really good ice cold homemade lemonade would have been cool to compliment the chicken. But yea it was disappointing. I'd also like to note that the service sucked, it took 20 min to get someone to come clean out dirty table and the amount of flies in that place made it impossible to enjoy any of it aswell. Restrooms were filthy, floors were filthy. It definitely gave fast food Mc Donald's vibes. Eew :/ read more

I gave it another shot. I've now tried the very hot and reaper flavors. The reaper is incredibly hot as advertised, so much that you had better eat it over a toilet. The very hot one to me is just right for hotness and actually quite enjoyable. What i'm not getting used to is the way these tenders have a dry rub seasoning. These do not drip with sauce like most places (BWWs) and instead are very peppery. I'm sure the sodium levels are insane if I were to look them up. But they do have good flavor. It's the texture and pepper that gets to me. After eating a sandwich, I really couldn't eat anymore. Their fries are really good and have a nice seasoning. I could eat those all day. Inside they have plenty of seating, a fountain drink machine (no coke zero though!), and restrooms. Everything is very clean and the staff are friendly. I also really admired the artwork all around the building inside and out. The inside (photos attached) have writing everywhere and themes into Aggieland. The outside had what looked like enormous cracks in the building that peered into a solar system. It was actually very well done. Kudos to the artist! Their prices are very reasonable and in fact you could split some things like the double sandwich + fries combo for $13.99 to easily feed two people. I need a break from here for a while though as i'm extremely stuffed. Hope to be back one day. Thank you, Dave's! read more

I've heard about Dave's on social media and was really excited to try it on my trip to College Station. I went for lunch on a Friday through the drive thru and it took 25 minutes from ordering to getting my food with 4 cars in front of me. I'm curious if it would have been any faster if I had gone in since it didn't seem like there were that many cars in front either. The lady helping me was very nice, so service was definitely friendly, just seemed a little slow for a drive thru. The food itself, I loved! I got hot, so the chicken was actually spicy and seasoned so well! The sandwich buns were soft, the slaw was good and the chicken tenders were huge. I'm a sucker for crinkle fries and these were seasoned well also. I'm am a pickle lover and the extra stack of pickles in that box was heaven for me... I loved their pickles. Despite liking the food and the portion size, I still felt like it was a little on the pricey side. I'm also wondering if it gave me food poisoning or if my stomach couldn't handle the heat because I've been having stomach issues since I ate that chicken. I can't say for sure, but it's a shame because it tasted so good lol. read more

Great atmosphere and music. Excellent chicken. Try the top-loaded fries and shakes. Right on Texas Avenue.

Not worth the hype. Not sure why the place was so busy. Loud Hardly no seating. Out of ice. Drinks were out of carbonation. Service was slow. Food was average. I'd come back if it was slow. read more

We went to Daves wanting some good chicken. The chicken was way to spicy(we had medium spice) and way too greasy. We could not eat the chicken and I had the immediate need for an alkaseltzer to prevent severe heart burn, luckily I had some in the car. I listed a complaint on their web page and they offered me a free meal . Second visit we got the no spice chicken. Still terrible and we did not finish a third of the meal. Oh....the free meal code did not work and the manager did nothing to resolve the problem so we paid again hoping for better food. So after two visits and not eating $45.00 of their chicken we learned our lesson. Daves Hot Chicken is not quality food and is too spicy and greasy for human consuption. read more

Showed up Sunday at 11:47pm and the doors were locked even though there were still customers inside. The sign on the door said they were open till midnight. Not sure why they would lock customers in/out before close. I'm pretty sure that is a fire hazard. read more

This place should have 5/5. My boyfriend & I were looking for a new place to eat lunch at, and we made the right choice. Staff was so great, and man, the food was to die for. Best chicken in CS, I got the extra hot and it was accurate. Cool atmosphere and ambiance too. read more

I was really excited for this place, but it was just disappointing. I got the number 2 with medium spice.

Try Urban Bird Hot Chicken instead, way better read more

Honestly, we really wanted to love this place and we just...didn't. We ordered from the drive through. My partner ordered the mild spice plate and I ordered the medium spice. The spiciness level appeared to be the same on both plates, the bread was not very fresh and the fries were stone cold for both of us. Maybe they weren't freshly cooked for us or were perhaps left over from the main lunch rush. I will say that the chicken was nice and tender underneath the spicy crust. read more
