My son and I grabbing some lunch! Chicken bites were tender and the slider was decent
Edward H.

Pros: cashier was super friendly and nice Food came out quickly Chicken was tender and hot Fries were made to order Cons: the salt ratio in the seasoning is too high. They need to cut it back by half Fries were a bit salty as well because they use the same seasoning for the chicken

Stopped in to see what the hype is about and I enjoyed! The combo is a lot of food and I liked that you could customize spice level and add on plenty of sauces. I liked the cabbage and pickles that accompanied and the fries were nice and crunchy! The cashier was kind and explained the menu to me and the restaurant was clean. If you have a chicken craving this'll hit the spot!

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

Ordered the Dave's #3. Medium tender, no spice slider. Skip the no spice, flavorless as expected. The medium is an elite. Just spicy enough, very flavorful. Excellent customer service and food came out fast. Will be trying again.

We don't have Dave's Hot chicken where I'm from so every time I make my way down south, I make a stop. I'm not a fast food person neither do I care for chain restaurants but I'll recommend this one every time. At every restaurant that I've been too, across the board are consistent, well-seasoned, are correctly cooked. Nice staff. They're popular so I would suggest ordering ahead.

It was my first time visiting the restaurant. I ordered the chicken silders with fries and a vanilla milkshake. The silders were a nice size. I couldn't eat both sliders. I ate the other one the next day. The milkshake was good. The service was good. I had questions and the employee answered my questions. I had to wait a few minutes for my food. It was a little busy at the time. They sell fountain drinks, blushes, chicken and waffles, chicken sanwiches, etc. The inside is nice. The wall art is nice. There is a lot of space inside with tables. They offer outdoor sitting as well. Next time I go back, I want to try the chicken and waffles and slushie.

Dave's #1 with cheese fries
Matt C.

Right off the bat the food is good, but it's expensive. For a Dave's #1 meal with a drink and subbed cheese fries it was a little over $16. Combos dont include a drink, and the cheese fries cost extra. Without the cheese fries and the drink it probably would've been about $12 give or take. I got mild tenders. They were crispy and pretty big, a little dry though. The seasoning on the tenders is good and the fries are crispy and have the same seasoning on them The mild was not spicy at all. I didn't feel it like I normally do when eating mild wings, but that's not to say that it was bad. It's totally something anyone could handle and it has a decent flavor. They have their own Dave's sauce it's pretty good. It's reminds me of a barbecue sauce with a little bit of honey mustard. Service was friendly. It's opening day, so the wait was to be expected. The place looks nice inside. I would go back, but honestly, it's entirely too expensive for the amount of food you get. It would have to be a once in a blue moon treat.

Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries
Jen L.

My new obsession! This is some of the best chicken I've ever had. Juicy and delicious- the seasoning provides a great flavor. I've only done takeout at this point but online ordering is simple and my order has been ready quickly. Employees have been friendly and helpful.

Number 3 slider with chicken tender
Cynthia P.

The food was super yummy! I enjoyed trying a new type of chicken sandwich that gave some spice. We got the medium but my friend went the next day and got hot and said it was spicy so definitely choose the best spice to your liking. The customer service was amazing. Even though they were really busy the girls at the front were very positive and helpful with our choices. Definitely make sure to try with honey and Dave sauce! So good!

I placed an order online which was quick and easy. I always love when businesses give you the options to adjust your ice or add sauces. So the website is a great design if you are looking to make a quick order to pick up. I set my pick up for noon. I got there a little early and checked my email where there was an email from RC that had a link you could push to let them know you were there, as I was a few minutes early, so I did that. Probably 2 minutes later, a very friendly server brought my food out to me (kudos to her!) I selected this method because I thought the drive thru would be crazy, but it was more the business on the inside! So I will do drive thru if I get it again. Now to the food. The tenders were a nice size and crunchy. I was expecting big things out of the sauce.....I can't say I was wowed, but it was ok. The bread was magnificent....really loved the flavor! I don't eat it much, so the tenderloins and bread for the win! The fries I thought were ordinary. They need some salt. I appreciate why maybe they don't salt them, but a hint would be good. Wasn't a fan of their cole slaw. I like shredded, stringy slaw and this was a little too coarse for me and I felt it needed some different flavors. It just was blah and I would not get it again. The price was fair and compared to Chick fil A down the street, comparative but way more food. So that was a win. I really enjoyed the tenderloins and the bread. I really would order just that and grab some other sauce I like.

I went to this location multiple times in 2023-2025. They opened in September 2023, which was the 2nd location in MD. This is about 15 miles from my home, which isn't too far. Then, Columbia location opened, which is closer at about 10 miles. The first location in MD was way up in Towson. I was up that way in March 2023 for a trivia tournament and thought to get an early lunch at Raising Cane's as I was excited to try at the time the only location in MD, but parking was a pain and line was too long. So, I ended up eating at the trivia tournament venue. Then, in September 2023, they opened this 2nd MD location here on a Friday. I went on its 2nd day that Saturday as coincidentally, I had a trivia tournament. It was a madhouse on route 3 in the left lane getting in here. I ended up parking on the Wendy's side as it was too hectic in there; you're not supposed to do that, and I never did that again, but that 1st weekend was hectic. Line was long, but they were going as quickly as they could. I was a bit nervous about my timing, but eventually, I got my food, ate a bit quicker than usual, and drove the 5 minutes to the trivia tournament. It was delicious. I love the chicken tenders, fries, & Texas toast here. I don't really like coleslaw, but I don't mind theirs. The baskets come with a drink, and I get half sweet/half unsweet tea every time, and it's freshly brewed. My girlfriend & I went to this location a couple of times mostly in 2024. Chicken baskets are always on point. In June 2024, we bumped into someone from trivia, which we three were going to tournament. He loved Raising Cane's probably even more than me. He said he lived very close to here and would come here sometimes multiple times a week. He also replaced fries (which is unhealthy) with more Texas toast (which is also unhealthy but maybe less so), and he loved the Texas toast more than fries. I agree with him on that here, but I want the fries as I want the variety. I'll keep coming back as a Caniac!

I've only been here once so far, but I was already happy with what they have to offer. We ordered three entrées for the three of us dining in. There was no one else here, but it wasn't long after they opened. Hopefully things pick up here soon! Three meals was MORE than too much! You get a TON of food for that price! Each one comes with two big scoops of plain white rice and a scoop of a rather savory macaroni salad. I'm not a huge mac salad fan to start with, but most of them come out very sweet. Not this one, however! It was a nice departure from the standard. I had the Hawaiian grilled chicken. I did have to ask what type of chicken they used, and the guy said it was dark thigh meat. I'm normally a white meat guy, but I gave it a go anyway. I'm so glad I did! This dish was very tasty! It could use more sauce, maybe even some on the side, but it was still quite flavorful. My wife got the short ribs (tasty) and my kid went with the fried shrimp (HUGE!!). There was so much food, that we basically took about 50% of it home. So, before you grouse about the price, it's a LOT of food for the dollar. At least two meals... unless you're super-hungry. The service was fast and the dude was helpful. We didn't have to wait long for everything to be ready. The décor is sparse and could use some Hawaiian flavor. It's pretty drab currently. Overall, this is a neat addition to the Crofton food scene. I really hope it stays around for a while. Whenever I'm in in the Pacific time zone, I always try to find Hawaiian restaurants, as the food is so delicious to me. This might be the go-to answer to my prayers. I'll need to try it out more to confirm!

As I ate in my car, several roadwork crews walked by with their KKC© bags, so it's pretty well known along this part of US-40. There's parking out front for about 30 vehicles, and it's just a few steps from a large mall parking lot. This place is between a Goodyear and an AT&T, all in a little strip mall of their own. It's easy to find. When you're driving west, just turn in at the several Krispy Krunchy Chicken banners on the westbound side of Baltimore National Pike just west of I-695 and look for Poblano. It's a little tricky coming east: you have to drive past Alexander Av, (no matter what your map-app says), and do a u-turn where you would be going into the Lidl - Home Depot parking lot. I mention this because of course I made the wrong turn the first time. Then come back to those KKC banners, and go into Poblano Halal Mexican Grill.
