It's Dave's
Scott W.

Had to give it a shot and I have mixed feelings.. first the good! Service is quick and nice. Building is new and clean with a good atmosphere! Now the bad: Tried the number 3-hot.. not impressed the chicken was dry and the seasoning lacked flavor, was it hot yes... but no real flavor and the chicken was over done.. I will say the pickles are good! Would I try them again.... I don't think so it's pretty expensive for what it is and the meals don't include a drink.. For fast food I would move on..

This place was BUSY right as it opened. Staff is super friendly, you can order at a kiosk or with an employee. Got Hot and Extra Hot, both very good. Chicken was large and juicy. Will definitely stop at a Dave's next time I can.

We had two sliders and a 2-piece chicken tenders basket, both with crispy fries.

FIRST REVIEW: With a brand new Dave's Hot Chicken now open in Medford, we had to stop in for their Nashville-style, fried, boneless chicken. I love fried chicken and this joint serves up some really good stuff, made from scratch. I had forgotten that their chicken is "Halal Certified" and contains no forbidden ingredients (haram) like pork or alcohol. It's considered free from contamination and is prepared with specific methods of slaughter, offering a guarantee of religious compliance, often indicating the best hygiene and ethical standards. That said, let's dive into my tasting experience. Well, if you've been to one Dave's, you've been to them all, with over 300 in the US. I find their chicken tenders are quite tasty, very tender and moist. The coating isn't super heavy and it has a delicious crunchy texture. They can be ordered at 7 different spicy levels and the heat comes from Carolina Reaper peppers. I always order the mild to allow the savory, cumin-forward spice flavor profile, to dominate and not burn my palate. Today we shared the sliders (served on a fresh brioche bun with a little coleslaw and spicy pickles inside). We also got a 2-piece tenders basket (served with 2 slices of regular white bread?), both orders came with hot crispy crinkle fries and a dipping sauce on the side. I do find this chicken to be a bit aggressively seasoned though. By the time you're done eating, that cumin note is welded to your palate for hours. The line was out the door (mostly teenagers) and took about 30 minutes to be served. We enjoyed the colorful interior decor (graffiti theme) and how clean everything was. Truth...

Number 1:  two chicken tenders with fries and a regular sized chocolate milkshake.

I was less than impressed... food was average and way over priced. The service was friendly. And the building is nice and flashy...

Best chicken in Medford. And the word gas caught on because it's constantly packed. Much better priced than its nearby competitors.

Are the fries cooked in the same fryer as meat products?

No, separate fryers.

I just flew into Medford here and got picked up by my crew at the airport. First order of business…read moreis FOOD! I GPS'ed an In N Out in town not too far away. In N Out always pleases everybody, and me too! We get there no prob and find parking easy. We all go in cause we'll dine inside. Order was taken super efficient as usual. I'm paying, so I just put in the order, rather than have each one of the crew do it separate. I pretty much know what they like by this point. The one other girl on the crew wants a double double lettuce wrapped, I think that's called "protein style". Basically it double doubles for the rest of the crew, animal style of course and extra grilled onions. Plus an order of fries for everybody. The cashier repeats the order and I confirm and pay with the credit card. Food is up in not too long and it takes two of us to carry it back to the table. It's all hot and tasty as usual. That's why I like In N Out, it's the same wherever you go!

My husband and I love In-N-Out Burger because the quality is so good BUT tonight we ordered our…read moreusual meal: 1 Double-Double with Cheese Protein Wrap + my husband has a bun. They were noticeably smaller. They looked like "baby" burgers. The French fries we ordered were HALF the size of our normal order. We didn't even need the ketchup. Sadly, we went home hungry. Rather than 'shrinkflation', I think it would be smart to re-price their burgers and fries to meet their costs but If customers go there to eat dinner and don't get enough food, it makes them not want to come back again.
