    Okay so I know we hype a lot of things up. Especially when it comes to food but. Dave's you did something my guy. The chicken is seasoned and flavored very well. 2 tenders and a half a fry is all I need, those pickles are to die for! those crispy strips and fries lord just make sure whatever you do try them out before you give em a thumbs down. This location on Michigan Ave in Dearborn is very nice professional and quick I walked in and waited maybe 3 mins . I like it a lot shout out to Dave's in Dearborn. Oh and it was hot for my ride. Oh btw I went 2 days in a row day 1 Southfield who was also fast and good

    I live in Kentucky pretty close to Nashville, so I have extremely high standards for fried chicken, especially Nashville hot chicken. I was up in the area for work meeting up with a friend and we decided to give Dave's Hot Chicken a try. I ordered a couple of tenders. I did enjoy them! One thing I thought that was missing is the tenders weren't drenched in that spicy oil that then seeps into the bread. But given how far we are from the Mecca of hot chicken, it's definitely not bad and it'll satisfy a craving. The service was pretty efficient. The locale is conveniently located in downtown Dearborn with fun murals. Pretty good! Would recommend.

    I was really excited to try DHC but was thoroughly disappointed. The dry rub on the chicken was flavorless and the Mac and cheese was so cheap tasting. You have to drown the chicken in Dave's sauce for it to actually have some flavor. I hope that it gets better

    I have to give this Dave's Hot Chicken 4 stars due to the fact that, yes, it is a satisfying meal in which you can enjoy. The meal is filling depending on what you get. Although, the flavor of the chicken can get a tad tiring. Most of the flavor you would taste is from the sauce as well as the honey which enhances the meal itself. The service was exceptionally well, I got my food within 7 minutes. Although on a busy day possibly 10-15 minutes. I have been here a few times in order to perceive an understandable review. The workers are easy going and helpful. As for the overall atmosphere of the place, it is clean. There are tables with four seats to each one, they also have men and women's restrooms. Four stars would be my final review.

    The menu is simple... chicken. They have a couple sides. The chicken sandwich was delicious. Hot was hot and had good flavor. It's not slathered with sauce as they use some seasonings. The fries have seasoning as well. The Mac n cheese was solid. Of course remember you are at a fast food place. The staff was quick and friendly. Plenty of seating for four people to a table. Overall a great stop for some chicken sandwiches!!

    My youngest son and I stopped at Dave's on a Wednesday night around 7 for a small bite. Dave's was about a block away from our hotel and I was quite intrigued. I ordered the two fingers and fries (hot) and my youngest son went for two sliders. Two sliders was a better portion! The Dave's sauce is really good. The service was good. I ordered the hot which had a pretty good kick to it. My only drawback was the size. 13 bucks I should get at least three tenders. For a quick bite with a lot of flavor I'd definitely recommend going!

    We enjoyed this Dave's. We came because of the cauliflower sliders for my vegetarian boyfriend. I got a medium tender and hot sandwich to try both heat levels. The medium tender wasn't that good but I really liked the hot slider. The flavor of the medium didn't taste as good so keep that in mind. For my preference the hot was not too spicy at all. I don't like the Dave's sauce being mayonnaise based. There is little seating for how busy it is. We had one waiting for a table while the other ordered. The atmosphere is like a five guys or similar fast casual restaurant.

    Dave's #2 2 Hot Sliders w/ Cheese Fries
    Sandra P.

    We definitely will be back . Excellent customer service. Loved the atmosphere with great music. Ordered the 2 piece Chicken Strip Meal with cheese fries. Ordered it Hot and it delivered, but it was too hot For me. I usually can handle spice, but next time I will get medium. My husband and I split a large MnM shake. The shake and the Dave sauce helped cool it down. The strips were massive and juicy. The only thing I suggest is get some salt for your fries.

    Came across Dave's hot chicken while driving home from the Detroit airport and had to make a stop immediately!! I love all things hot so I ordered the Dave's #4 (HOT) My slider had a kick to it but for me it wasn't hot enough. If you can handle the heat order the next above options. And my brother ordered Dave's #1 (MILD) According to my brother, his mild chicken was perfect but I mean it's mild right? ** If you're considering getting the two slider option - just know that they're normal size and they're not considered your typical slider!** I will be back once I visit Michigan again!

    Me and my son went here right after it had first opened and I completely forgot to write a review. The wait was almost 40 minutes and the line was out the door and curved around the back upto the parking lot. It was also cold that day. We were so excited by the time it was our turn to order. We got multiple of orders of sliders and the rest was strip meals. They all came with French fries and bread. The sandwiches were so good and we loved the sauce that accompanied the meals. The French fries were golden, crisp and well seasoned. I've had their sandwiches at multiple locations and they've been all good every time. Apart from the long lines opening week, everything else was On Point.

    Really good food options. The "hot" option for a sauce is actually really hot lol. The hot honey chicken bites were my favorite.

    The hype is not real. The meat is not always fresh and it's too damn spicy. The service is great though.

    Tbh it's always good always get my lil double cheeseburger consist quality every time it's on pointread more

    So dont take this as a negative review, My First review was…read more5 stars almost 5 years ago. I have been a fan of this restaurant for years, everywhere I went everyone I spoke to I always said wonderful things about the burgers here. So when I came back to Detroit visiting goodburger was first on the list and highly prioritized. Entered the restaurant, looked better and improved. Went to the counter, was greeted by the cashier, ordered burgers for my and my partner. Instead of fresh fountain I was given a can of diet soda even though their refills used to be free, didn't mind, sat down and started waiting for my food, the person who brought my food literally placed the tray on my table, mumbled few words in the mouth and left, no "enjoy the food" or "let me know if you need anything elsel". Mind you I paid 35 bucks for 2 burgers with 1 side of fries. I was not at the drive through of Mcdonalds. Anyways all of these things can be ignored if the food was upto the standard. The chicken piece inside the burger was over cooked, fries in the burger, pale and no flavor, bacon, smaller then a french fry, store bought cheese like it was slapped on top with zero love. I asked for mayo and it felt like they ran out of mayo and just took the last scoop and smacked it on my burger, kept looking for mayo, couldn't find it. The side of french fries was good. No sauces on the burger either. I am highly disappointed and I hope the management reads this and fixes these issues, as I would love to stay a regular customer and change my review back to 5 star. For now it's 1 star. By the way you can look at the pictures from my older order attached to this review

The food is thoughtful and complex, and unfortunately, that's just not for me. I can see why people enjoy it so much, though. Service was okay. Basically a teen at the register playing on her phone and a cook in the back. I wasn't really offered much of a greeting or an intro to the menu. It's a very limited menu as far as sandwiches are concerned (only six options.) I ordered The Superior minus kimchi with the spicy mayo on the side. I don't believe the menu mentions it, but the sandwich did come with a handful of fries. I took a seat in their cute dining area. It's decorated very nicely. It was a little chilly, though. I noticed a couple tables with trash on them that sat that way during my entire visit (all the while the cashier was on her phone.) Definitely room for improvement there. My sandwich was good; a little sweet for my liking. What I disliked was that there were tiny onions grilled with the steak, and those onions are not on the menu. I'd already wasted my lunch hour finding this spot, figuring out what to order and waiting for my food so I didn't bother saying anything or asking for a re-do. I just ate a few pieces of the steak and packed the rest up for my husband to have as leftovers. The quality of the steak was great and the fries were excellent. So, if you are all about limited menus and lots of ingredients, this might be the spot for you. It wasn't for me.

One guy seated at a booth on the phone and two ladies with their suitcase at another booth. Other than the 3 people, place was empty. Ordered carry out. crushed lentil bowl, chicken kafta, two sides: small hummus, small baba ghanouj, large fattoush salad with no pita. $38.13 Food takes about 15 minutes to be ready. Drove all the way back to the office. My chicken kafta looks to be lamb, not at all what I ordered. My large fattoush is covered in pita chips. Had to spend several minutes getting every pita chip out of the salad. It's good I am not allergic to gluten. They shove the dressing packet in the corner of the salad, so you get a bit less, that and the pita chips. Other than that, the salad was fine. I am quite disappointed the order is not right! The crushed lentil soup has a lot of rice in it, which is just filler to me. Has some clumps of something, may be rice and starch? It's too inconvenient to drive all the way back. Do be sure to check your carry out order before you leave the place. The crushed lentil is quite bland, not much flavor to it. Tastes some fennel, quite a few clumps of starch. The soup is more rice than lentil. I could count on one hand how many traces of lentil was in my bowl of soup. What in the world? My husband ate the lamb kafta, since I don't eat red meat. He said it was so-so, but rather dry.
