The thing that sticks out most about this place is the customer service! All of the ladies working at the front counter were very polite and courteous. My order was taken promptly and everything was exactly how I asked, both the fries and the chicken is crunchy, and I ordered the medium heat which is perfect.

Dave's Hot Chicken is an absolute must visit if you're in the area and are wanting to find the best chicken sandwich. The spice levels are great, and the customer service is always on point. Whenever I visit Dave's Hot Chicken, I always order the Dave's #2 to share with Jordan. It's usually enough for the both of us, so portion sizes are pretty great. My only complaint is that the spice levels are always off, but as long as you try Hot+, you'll be fine. The customer service is definitely a plus here as well. The staff members I've interacted with have all been so kind and generous. It's definitely an A+ from me! Overall, I will always come back to this location. The food and customer service are the reasons why!

My first time here and Diego was very helpful! He explained everything and even brought us our food! I got the #2(1 hot and 1 extra hot) and my husband got the #3(mild). Good amount of food for the price. The place was nice and clean! 10/10 will come again!

Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries Single Tender 20 oz. Diet Coke

I was searching for a place to have lunch when I ended up at this rather upscale strip mall area that had many restaurants. Dave's Hot Chicken sounded unique compared to the other eateries in the area so I decided to give it a try. The interior has a contemporary look, with tables spread throughout, in addition to outdoor seating. Service is friendly and prompt. The menu was rather simple: Chicken tenders, either alone or in a slider. The chicken could be spiced up in different levels. I ordered a slider and tender combo, which comes with fries, toast and a drink, in addition to another tender. I chose the spiciness of "hot" since I generally prefer my food on the spicier end. The prices are a bit higher than my expectations, but the meal did deliver appropriate value. Initially, only a part of my meal came out but the server quickly realized that I had ordered an extra tender, and that came out shortly after. The meal is certainly a hearty one, with a slider, tender, fries, toast, and a drink. There is a sauce, ketchup, honey, and pickles as condiments. The slider was tasty and consists of a chicken tender with coleslaw in a bun. Cheese was extra. "Hot" was actually spicier than I thought, and fortunately drink refills are available. It may be a good idea to select one degree lower than your normal spiciness tolerance! The fries are a crinkle cut type and nothing extraordinary, as was the sliced bread. They serve Coca Cola products at Dave's Hot Chicken. Overall, I had a wonderful lunch at Dave's Hot Chicken, and this is certainly a place I would like to return to the next time I am in the area!

#3 Hot Slider and Extra Hot Tender
Jorena L.

So excited to try this place because I'm a big fan of Nashville hot chicken! The menu is very simple - only sliders and tenders. The slider is the size of a regular sandwich. However, the prices are quite high. Big pieces of chicken that were very juicy. Hot spice level was just right for me. Had a good heat and kick but wasn't unbearable. Tried the extra hot too, and it ruined the flavor. Love adding the honey for a sweet and spicy balance. The fries were so crispy and light too! I really dunked them in the Dave's sauce lol. Overall I really enjoyed my meal but it's just a bit expensive.

Holly T.

The place was cool inside. Menu seemed a little limited but got the slider. I have hear a lot of good things about the place. It was just ok for me. Lots of food which was a plus but seemed average. Service was good and place was clean so still rated a 4.

Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries
Alyssa H.

Of course after hearing about this place I had to try it. And let me just say, it's an Instagram sensation for a reason. It's like zaxby's meets Hattie B's (if you know you know) I love eating it with the honey it gives you that sweet heat and everything is so flavorful. Highly recommend!

Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries
Crenly F.

The chicken was decent, nice employees, and good sauce. The Mac And Cheese was very watery and overall wasn't good, it's like $3 for hospital food looking Mac and cheese. More watery than than H2O itself. Would not recommend getting the Mac and cheese at all. The fries were the most appealing thing in the meal, not good, but not bad. They were nicely seasoned, and had a good crispy taste. Ended up spending $70, which is way too much for 3 meals. I could've just went to Raisin' Canes and got something similar for a cheaper price. As you're paying, you're prompted for a tip, which I found weird. Considering that I walk up to the counter to order and have to walk back to the counter to pick the food when my number is called. Overall a 2.7/10. Fries: 10/10 Chicken: 6/10 Mac And Cheese: 2.5/10 Sauce: 5/10 Service: 9/10 I'm not a food critic, but this needs SOME improvement.

Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries
Ruby B.

First time here, never herd of it before but we didn't know what to eat. The place is pretty cool inside, industrial modern graffiti style I loved it. Food was good is 2 good size tenders with big fries and amazing pickles. And sort of a canes sauce. My husband thinks is just like canes except the bread is missing the butter. Service was good too, nice people clean inside. We order one no spice and one spice #1 we preferred the no spice. It was lots of powder with a sweet taste we didn't care too much for.

Very very average with very little selection. Very breaded tenders and sliders. Just not a great place unless you have some sort of deal.

Loved it. We'd been…read moreto the Memphis, TN location about 10 years ago and enjoyed it. Now that we live in the DFW area, it was time to try the Fort Worth location. They are located on a corner and parking is limited. I found street parking on the side street, about a block down in front of a house. We walked inside Gus's about 11:30 am on a Wednesday. They were busy' but had a number of open tables. There are mostly square and rectangular 4-top tables. We chose one by the front windows. A moment after we sat down, our server, Joe K came by to greet us and he took our drink order. Menu's are at the table, so we studied a bit and were ready for Joe when he brought our drinks. I ordered: - Unsweetened Iced Tea - 3 Piece Dark Chicken Plate (my choice: leg, leg, thigh) with Greens and BBQ Beans My wife ordered: 2 Piece White Chicken Plate (breast, wing) with Mac-Cheese and BBQ Beans The chicken was the star for sure. The BBQ Beans weren't special but were decent. The Greens, decent. With each meal plate, the chicken is served on a slice of white bread. The chicken was fried to a deep brown and was real tasty. My dark meat was juicy and tender. My wife's white meat was drier but normal for white meat. My wife's felt the chicken skin was maybe overcooked as it was tough. It was fine to me. I ate her skin :) We'll be back to Gus's!

The food was good but as far as the level of cleanliness TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I informed the staff…read morethat the bathrooms toilets needed service after I seen someone leave out while I was waiting: unfortunately they never cleaned the bathroom.

The sides (corn, green beans, mashed potato, gravy) come with the meals and are bottomless. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I have NEVER had crispy chicken strips THIS perfect. This location is an hour from our home and let me tell you - it will be worth the drive for a return visit. Our server was so sweet, friendly, and kind. She explained the ordering system and was very welcoming. If the food wasn't 5 stars on itself - she is 5 stars all on her own. You walk inside and go back in time. It's a very cool, understated grandma's kitchen vibe. The food made you feel like you were sitting in Grandma's country kitchen and she just gave you a hug. Seriously. Babe's Chicken Dinner House is where it's at. They've perfected their food. Another thing I loved, easy ordering (most entrees are $20 with the steak being a little more), and seems like minimal waste. You refill any sides you want but since they bring what you ask for - you're not wasting food. You can't take the bottomless sides home (understandable) but you can take your protein home. Thank you Babe's Chicken Dinner House for an amazing meal and service!

Saw this place in a feed somewhere. It's a bit off the path for me, but I wanted to check it out…read more Went in during the 2025 NFL playoffs to catch a couple games and check the place out. Have been back since then. Talk about your corner hole in the wall type places. It's located in the middle of an L shaped strip building. Inside is clean, and spacious. Nothing fancy here, but plenty of tables and a few booths. They have a covered outside patio, which might even be fully enclosed, with some pool tables. The bar location is on the back wall, with lots of seating. Full bar, with a reasonable amount of draft beers, and several good ones along with the normal commercial swill. I sat at the bar both times, and got great service. First time I did the usual and checked out the salsa and queso. Both were good and didn't taste like pre made stuff. If it was, well they picked a couple of winners. The serving was more than ample, more then I could eat over the course of the visit. Second time I went back, I was going to make a point to try the onion rings since they looked so good in the pics. As I was looking at the menu I noticed they had a Montecristo sandwich. As I've mentioned before, I have yet to find anything that even remotely comes close to the holy grail of MC sandwiches, the one and only made by Bennigan's. Of course, I ordered it, and the onions rings. I'm happy to say the MC here is the closest I've ever come to find. It was really good, and the jam served with it was also pretty dead on. It was a little nasty like it should be, but not as greasy as it should be, and I enjoyed the hell out of it. The onion rings were really good, even if the batter was flaking off a bit. Anyway, I like the place, wish I could drag myself out more. Been customers here every time I've been, but not as many that should be. They also have a digital jukebox so if you're here and ever hear something bizarre playing, it's probably me. Service and staff have always been very good. They know how to make a pretty good margarita as well, and prices are very good.
