    Dave's Daves Mini Sliders Daves Mini Sliders w/ Fries
    Victoria S.

    Y'all I wanted to not believe the reviews I wanted to believe that days was still good like the first time I tried them when they first. First things first they are not bad in the way in which I thought they would be bad. I thought I would get my food and it would be cold and soggy and just not fresh. That's not what happened. From what I saw visually the advertising about the mini sliders, they did not look as small as what I received now I'm not sure if the slider meat is supposed to be the small or if I just got a small batch, but yeah, there is more bread than meat The pickles are bigger than the chicken itself and honestly for $11. I would not order this again cause it's mainly fries and four chicken nuggets. Let's be honest. A part of me felt like I maybe should've just got my regular slider and it comes with fries and kept it pushing, but I wanted to try something different because I really like Dave and usually their food is really good but they missed the mark on this one, I honestly Wish I had enough guts to be like I don't want this. Can I get something instead but I was starving y'all and it's not like it was cold or anything. It was honestly probably on me for not realizing that they made chicken nuggets instead of asking questions. I just went based off what I thought. But again from the building being empty, and the service was pretty quick. I can't really be that mad and the wait time took like what five minutes.

    #4 Two tender sliders with fries.

    I was going here on opening day and the line was out the door. We decided to wait until the rush was over so finally went today for lunch. A line in front of the door was not going to deter us this time but when we got to the door, the line was for the Game Stop store two doors down. My caution flag went up, you can't go from lines out the door to an empty store at lunchtime in a few weeks unless... Inside only two people in there but it's only 11:00 am. Then looking around I thought to myself "it's only 30 minutes past opening and two people are here yet the floors are dirty, the fountain is dirty, and leaves are on the floor". Definitely one star off for lack of cleanliness at opening. Counter person was friendly but gave us the wrong order; we wanted two, #4's which is a tender slider, fries, pickles and Cole slaw. Drinks are extra. He gave us one #2 which is two sliders and an order of fries. To resolve the issue, he gave me an order of fries, still shorting me from what we wanted. Second star removed for twice getting the order wrong. Now the chicken; Mind you we are 30 minutes after opening and the fires and chicken are cold. Clearly both had been pre-made and sitting, waiting for someone to order it. Bite into the chicken and the spice was nice but it was dry, no moisture to the sauce at all yet looking at the menu pictures, the sauce is glistening. This sauce was not glistening. $20 for a single order is too much, especially when it is cold. Another star off for cold food. Final point is pre-tipping at the register. The counter guy made a point about reading the first screen which was tipping amounts. I gave him 15% for less than two minutes of interaction and then received the wrong order, cold food and a dirty dining experience. For my future counter service people, thank this guy, as I will never pre-tip counter people again.

    2 mild tenders with fries

    This was delicious! I tried the lite mild first and since it wasn't spicy, I went for the mild--every bite was so tasty . The fries were really good too. Great customer service, and the environment was clean and fresh. Definitely recommend!

    I was impressed! There are already a lot of places you can go to for chicken, and for chicken tenders at that. This place did not disappoint. It was busy but staff gave great customer service and food came out in a reasonable amount of time considering the big Sunday lunch rush. There aren't a lot of places to sit, but if the weather is nice there are extra spots outside to sit. Chicken tenders were big and crunchy! Crinkle fries (my fave) and an added bonus to have cheese fries. Not a lot of places offer cheese sauce for cheese fries so this was nice to see. The Dave's sauce is tangy and good. I love how you get a small pile of pickles on the side. There are options of what spice you want your food. I got no spice because I'm a wuss. Will be back!

    Slider with cheese and one strip -no spice
    Andrea B.

    Absolutely awesome! Staff is amazing, customer service is 10/10! The food is wonderful! Chicken is made to order and hot and crispy when it arrives! Ambiance is cool, music is great and the dinning room is super clean!

    It's nice to have a Dave's Hot chicken in Denton.. It's grand opening so of course this place is crowded. The spice levels are not a joke. Eat at your own risk. I'm either a mild or medium kind of girl but I felt spontaneous and tried the Hot and it was so SPICY that I could still feel it burn after. Gave it 3 stars because their AD was a lie. They don't have the fries with all the fixings on it and if you try to order it they'll look at you like you're crazy and I don't like the Dave's sauce or cheese sauce. Both tasted really fake. Wish they have ranch.

    It was busy so the food took a minute, which is OK I understand. The chicken was over breaded in my opinion, but the spice was good. The sauce just tasted like mayonnaise to me. The pickles were amazing. I would do anything to eat those pickles all day every day. Fries fries were so delicious. I would go back just for the fries. Although the seasoning on the tenders was a lot, felt like I was eating straight powder for a second.

    Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries

    Food is amazing I recommend mild for maximum flavor. Sai was the cashier and was extremely hospitable and went above and beyond to help us.

    This location is very convenient to get to, but we rarely come here because we have had a lot of…read morepoor visits. In fact, when I came here last week, it was out of desperation because I was starving and it was the closest drive thru at the time. When I say desperation, I mean it, I had gone over 13 hours without eating, was light headed and basically only willing to eat here for survival. In the past there have been frequent visits where the wait was extremely long, they were out of the ordered items, but didn't inform us until after we paid, and one time when my husband received raw chicken. I didn't know this was possible, I had assumed that all the chicken was pre-cooked and then frozen and then went in the fryer. This is the case with things like the tenders, but on that visit, they told him they were out of what he ordered and asked if they could sub out different chicken on the sandwich, therefore, I can't recall what piece specifically wasn't cooked correctly. For this reason, even when I came here out of desperation, I will only order the tenders. I got a $5 box and the wait was very reasonable last week, perhaps they have fixed their staffing issues. Service was adequate, not great, but not bad either. For this reason, I am glad I came to see improvement on their part. The food is a good, cheap price, but the quality doesn't inspire many return visits. The tenders were pounded flat this time and were very stringy. I have had better tenders from this location, so this is a consistency issue. The mashed potatoes were drowned in gravy, but still managed to be tasteless. They do a damn good biscuit though! The fries are thick wedges and are usually seasoned nicely, while being soft in the middle. Those two items are usually spot on and are safe bets to order. There was a cookie, but I didn't get to try it, my husband took it. :( I'm going to guess that the cookie is probably a safe item also, as he didn't complain. Since this location is showing improvement on service and wait times, I'm going to say there is probably hope for them yet. However, my rating is an average of multiple visits (a very kind average in my opinion) and they will need to perform better on a regular basis to get to a 3 star rating and earn visits from me that aren't out of desperation.

The restaurant appeared severely understaffed, and it felt like all priority was being given to the drive-through while customers inside were largely ignored. When we politely asked about our order status, one employee simply stared at us and said nothing back. To make matters worse, the same employee was later seen aggressively swinging a bag while taking an order out to a drive-through customer who had been waiting. I understand places get busy, but communication and professionalism still matter. Long waits happen, but being ignored and watching employees behave carelessly with customer food is unacceptable.

First I'd like to start this review off by saying everyone has a bad day every now and then. I have purchased food at this KFC multiple times in the last couple months and what I've always noticed is they were pretty fast with their service. Also I noticed there is somewhat of a language barrier cuz it seems a lot of people speak Spanish as their primary language and English may not be their first language. That being said I've always been treated friendly and kind and appreciate it as a customer. Today there was a lady in front of me and she was having a bad day. She was not getting the service that she felt like she needed and wanted to express her feelings to the corporate office. At the same time she was trying to run off the customers that were in the building and I felt the staff held their composure very well and did not get disrespectful towards the customer at least while I was there and the lady left the building right before I ordered my food. I placed my order and got service that I needed without any problem or any anger from the employee who had already been in the situation before time. This gets a kudos from me because a lot of people might have had an issue with how the other customer was talking to them and they held their composure very well. I truly appreciate this type of customer service. Because if they had done anything negative I may have never come back to this KFC again and might have been discouraged from going to another KFC and not eating this delicious chicken . Also the new potato wedges are back and they are way better than they were before and they were fantastic before. This is the main reason I was there today . I love the potato wedges and I love their coleslaw . So getting to the food part of the review. It is KFC you're going to get what you're going to get because it's KFC but they do have some phenomenal deals as of 2025 and that's probably one of the reasons I'm back eating at KFC. Because of the deals and the potato wedges. Lol

When I walked in two families were dining, a few couples waiting for their food, and a woman in line ordering. The restaurant has great natural light. I was not greeted when I walked in. The dining room was not the neatest. Customers weren't cleaning up after themselves at tables, employees weren't wiping down the tables or sweeping the floors. There were straw wrappers left by the drink station along with drink spills by customers. The women's restroom was nasty. Someone had urinated on the floor and put tissue over the mess. When I got to the register there were two middle aged men, (who were store managers, because I asked) tending to the register. They were not friendly at all. They acted as if I was invisible when standing there waiting to place my order. They never said, "Sorry for the wait. Someone will be with you shortly." or "Hello." I patiently waited and looked at the menu until a nice college aged male came and greeted me. He was friendly, kind, and patient. The receipt said his name was Zachery. I hope he was checking out under his name, because I want him to know how great he was in this experience. He had glasses, dark hair, with a shaggy haircut. He was the BEST! Thank you for being kind and having great customer service skills. Placing my order was a breeze with Zachery, even after I forgot to add something originally. I ordered two meals and an a la carte item. The first meal was a 4 piece regular chicken tenders w/jalapeño ranch, okra, mashed potatoes, and a roll. The next meal was the 3 piece catfish w/tartar sauce, okra, and hush puppies. The a la carte item was a 4 piece spicy chicken strip w/jalapeño ranch and a roll. Everything was fresh, hot, and a large portion size. I always get their sweet tea when I visit. I waited about 8 minutes for my food. The staff working behind the counter all seemed young college kids. They were working hard cooking and prepping orders. Great job to them. Despite the dining room/bathroom cleanliness and store managers lack of customer service; the food and Zachery made the experience better. I would definitely stick to the drive thru on my next visit as it is quicker.

The guy on the phone stated that the extra gravy was my side so I explained to him that I ordered a number one combo with an extra gravy because the combo already comes with a gravy. So then he tried to get tough guy with me and I said don't worry about it we're done! Do not ever go to this location to order food because of that guy! I want to add that the young lady that work the drive-thru was extremely pleasant, friendly and handled the food with care when she handed it off to me.
