Cool hot chicken joint with a modern vibe and cool art around the restaurant. The cashier that took my order was extremely nice and gave me one of those vibrating pagers to pick up my order when it was ready. There was also another young woman walking around the restaurant keeping the tables clean and checking up with customers. As for the chicken; it was epic. Extremely flavorful with huge chicken tenders. I got the second spiciest, extra hot, which was perfect. The next and hottest level of. spice is called "reaper" and I'll probably try that next time. Highly recommend. read more

Trendy spot in the area ! It was pretty empty when we went but it's so much space inside to enjoy with your family . There is also seating outside . Both cashiers were friendly and explained spice levels to me before ordering. You are given a little device when your food is ready which I like! The medium was still a little spicy but not terrible so I can only imagine how the hot taste ! Fries were seasoned well ! Overall will definitely come back to try other things like the slushies and milkshake! read more

Food was great! Chicken sandwich and chicken tenders were wonderful! Service was good! Would recommend it without any reservations

The hot tenders was great. Good amount of heat. Service was A+. Shout out to Courtney with all the recommendations on my first visit. She recommended honey on the tenders and it was bomb. Nice sweet heat. No ranch is available at this establishment. They have daves sauce which is good substitute. Creamy savory. Tenders are huge btw. Dont be like me and buy 10 tenders for 2 people. 1 tender is almost half of a large chicken breast worth of meat with breading on top. 2-3 tenders is a large amount for one serving. read more

This location just opened a few weeks ago so I had to give it a try. I had heard nothing but good things and it did not disappoint. Went through the drive through (which was very long) and could see that the inside was packed. The food was OUTSTANDING. I got mild and it wasn't spicy at all which I didn't expect it to be since that is lower on their spice meter. Fries were delicious, sauce was awesome. Definitely recommend read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Florence, South Carolina

If you're heading to the Columbia or Greenville locations, be prepared for a crowd. The vibe is high-energy with colorful graffiti-clad walls and loud music. The #3 Combo (1 Tender, 1 Slider) is the best way to experience the menu. The chicken is incredibly juicy (Halal-certified), and the 'Dave's Sauce'--a creamy, savory comeback-style sauce--is the perfect cooling agent. The Heat Warning: For most people, 'Medium' provides a nice kick without ruins your day. 'Hot' is where the burn really starts to linger. The fries are crinkle-cut and seasoned well, though some regulars suggest topping them with their mac & cheese for the ultimate 'loaded' experience. It's pricier than your average fast food ($15-$20 for a meal), but the portions are so large you'll likely have leftovers." Pro Tips for SC Shoppers The App: Download the Dave's Hot Chicken app before you go; they often give a free slider or tender reward upon sign-up. The "Honey" Hack: Many regulars in South Carolina recommend asking for honey on the side to drizzle over the spicy tenders for a "sweet heat" flavor profile. Parking: The Devine St (Columbia) and Woodruff Rd (Greenville) locations have notoriously tight parking lots during the lunch rush. read more

Absolutely 100% recommend Dave's hot chicken. Best chicken sandwich anywhere. I thought Popeyes and Chick-fil-A. Was good. This place beats them hands down. Ladies at the window were super nice. The inside looks wild and crazy. If you want great chicken you need to try this place. read more

Dave's hot chicken months later still lives up to expectations they brought with them during their entrance in the summer. As they should with the price that they value their food at. For $40.00 you can get the Dave's bites w fries, Dave's #2, and 2 slushes ( no boba balls unfortunately, which is a let down for the cost), but the team does advice you prior so any money you spend on that is at your own will. The food was great 9.3/10 I ordered the light spice variant for both and the taste was great , the customer service was great 10/10. The intercom does seem to work better than it did prior at the beginning. The Managers and CO over this restaurant seem to take pride and care in their legacy and that shows great within the restaurant. The workers are doing great if they can continue their level of professionalism within the kitchen and dealing with food, all love and shout out to the kitchen at Dave's. Keep up the great work and do not compromise your quality you will continue to strive!!! Will be eating there again. read more

Great hot chicken and a very friendly service experience from Mark! Tried their reaper dry rub on a pickle and it's spot on! Prices are reasonable too. The portion size is huge. I got the 10-piece bites and they were plenty for me. My wife ordered the 2-slider meal and we thought she got 2 full sized chicken burgers instead. Will be back! read more

Amazing every time. People are always nice and the food is always hot. Cool environment

Food was maazing and serving size is off the chart. Huge potions for the sliders. Got the 2 slider combo and i thought they were going to be like krystal size burgers but they are fill aize chicken sandwhichs. Amazing. The heat was just perfect read more

The tenders were small. I could have gotten 10 at Hardees for less and they would have been larger. The seasoning didn't go past the breading which quickly fell off. read more

Just gross. Literally taste like an afterthought. Like they cooked the chicken then drowned it in dry chili rub after it's cooked. Worse chicken I've ever had! read more

Don't go here it's is so hyped up by the internet this place needs to be investigated by the fda immediately as soon as you walk in there all you smell is chemicals I had a headache from that smell a place should not smell like chemicals then I got two tenders the tenders were big. But 13 dollors for some tenders and some fries is crazy. Then I ask for a cup of ranch $1.40 for some hidden vally ranch that I could have got for free somewhere else then I at the fries dry and soggy the tenders were big but nasty I ate all of it and felt like I was about to puke everywhere. This place is bad and deserves to be shut down read more

I was not exactly sure what to expect, because Florence has become the chicken capital of the PeeDee. Ate inside and love the music this place plays. After, music makes the world go around and lifts the spirts. For my 1st time, the counter person did not rush me and was very friendly. Choose the #3. It consists of a tender and a slider. Chose the fries. Do not know who supplies this franchise their chicken, but it is juicy, fresh and moist. The other thing I was pleasantly surprised with was the extra pickles the basket came with, the Daves sauce for dipping. The slider was phenomenal. Don't know if it was the slaw, but next time I visit the restaurant, I will order an extra slaw. It is that good. One other thing I appreciate it the various levels of spice/heat. For those that cannot tolerate spicey hot you can choose lite mild or none. Between the slider and tender, I favor the slider. It is that good. Warning: a drink is not included in the price of the meal, but the chicken is better than any other chicken place in town, even the all-time favorite. read more

I was the only car in the drive thru. I waited and then said hello 4 times. I pulled forward to the window and the cashier was texting. I waited again for her to look at me. She opened the window and I told her I waited at the speaker and said hello. She stated that if there are larger vehicles in the drive thru they can't hear them. I then ordered and waited 12 minutes for very awful food. I spent 30 and we took 2 bites. Even if the food was excellent, I'll never support a business with that bad of service. read more
