    The cup

    OK. Not my thing for a spicy CHX sandwich. Their seasoned fries were ok and got boring to eat after just a few dipped in the Dave's Sauce. CHX sandwich appeared to be a very moist and tender CHX tender that didn't really fill the bun. The pickles seemed (and they gave me extra) to not have enough 'perfect' pickling brine flavor. The pickles didn't really add to the sandwich, other than helping to create more sandwich "slippage". The service here was great and very friendly and helpful for those of us that don't know "Dave's". My second time at a Dave's now, and the last time, I didn't quite enjoy the sliced white bread thing that got explained later. Perhaps just a good CHX tender with some kind of Dave's Sauce would sum it up. The whole 'sandwich' didn't quite cut it for me. Been there, done that twice. I won't be consciously going to Dave's again. Just not my thing. CritDicks

    So delicious!  This location is awesome!

    Was really excited to have a chicken place so close to home. I was craving Mac and cheese and spicy chicken, so decided to try it. Ordered online for pick up and the ordering process was simple. I ordered the loaded fries. It came with fries, Mac and cheese, spicy chicken, and ranch. I was happy it had a little bit of everything and the price was decent. When I picked it up the restaurant was clean and fun decor. I got the Dave's sauce and honey to go with my meal. I was excited to try it and was sadly disappointed. It says a lot when the fries tasted better than the chicken. Chicken seasoning and taste was off. Didn't taste spicy just different. Just missed the spot. I would go back for the fries but not the chicken. The sauce wasn't anything special. Maybe would order fries there but won't be going back anytime soon

    Best chicken ive ever had. Definitely needed the pickles to tame down the spice cuz wow it was spicy and I got the hot. The sauce they server with it is heaven and the cheese fries were warm and the fries were still crunchy. Service was quick and efficient.

    I love that they still have the cauliflower options in the menu! The tenders were cooked perfectly and so tender n juicy. Usually get these as a sandwich so not sure if they are usually so salty. Still quit good. The Mac n cheese has never been exciting to me. I get it and I enhance it.

    The food is amazing. The service was even better! Ordering in advance would definitely be the way to go the food is worth the wait though.

    Well there are soooo many hot chicken spots these days. Where did they all come from? Tennessee or some sh!t like that, I don't know. But I can say as they are all similar they are all pretty good. Can't really tell if one is better than the other but maybe Dave's Hot Chicken gets the win by an inch. What I can say is, I do like this style of chicken place and the tenders are, well tender. I stay on the cooler side and stick to mild for the flavor and maybe pick it up to a medium. I think hot can be too hot and not that enjoyable to eat. Just my opinion, you do you! lol. The service has been a little slow at this spot the last couple times I came here so the wait was a little long but the food was good when I finally got it. They may be short an employee or something but I don't know. Either way it's worth the wait just don't drink too much soda while you're waiting lol.

    Oside!!!

    I wouldn't have considered coming here if it weren't for a recommendation by word of mouth. He said he saw a cauliflower sandwich as an option for vegetarians and I half didn't believe him. However, for limited time only, they indeed have "Dave's not chicken" which is made from fresh cauliflower!! Whoo!! Their plates were super great! I was so impressed that their cauliflower "not chicken" was a decent size slice of cauliflower. The fact that there were extra pickles plus extra Dave's sauce was super cool. My partner and I both got the extra hot spice level, and it indeed was a bit hot. Haha! It was super tasty, but it left my lips burning afterward. Thank goodness for soda, honey, and pickles. Their wavy French fries are seasoned well and super good. I love that they use a kale slaw because, hey, I needed some greens today. We would totally come again while they still have cauliflower and order the two slider combo with fries (just regular hot spice level, a side of kale slaw, and a soda. Maybe even a shake! The guy at the cashier was super helpful in helping explain how their menu worked, how spicy their spice level truly was, and asked if we needed anything else. The lady was also helpful in providing assistance when asking for utensils. The indoor seating was comfortable and had very cool murals inside. If you dare, get the spiciest reaper spice level! It's definitely worth trying if you always enjoyed spicy chicken sandwiches at your favorite fast food restaurant. I'm actually bummed that their cauliflower is only limited time (who knows how long???) Because I enjoyed it so much but it will eventually leave. Also, why does cauliflower have to cost $2 extra? It's cheaper at the grocery store than chicken...

    Ask the Community - Dave's Hot Chicken

    I ordered the Mild Seasoning on my Chicken Tender Strip and also the mild seasoning spices on the Chicken Slider. When I took bites of the Chicken Tender Strip it tasted really HOT to me. What kind of spices does Hot Dave's Restaurant use?

    The main spice comes from cayenne pepper and cayenne hot sauce. They also add garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder and smoked paprika for flavor.

    Is this location ever gonna serve mac and cheese?

    I got Mac n cheese here!

Walking in, it wasn't busy. There was only 1 person waiting for a to-go order. There was a good amount of seating. It wasn't the cleanest though, the floors needed some serious sweeping. We seated ourselves and the young man at the front counter took our order. He was very quiet but helpful. We ordered the Tikka Masala with chicken, Butter Masala w/ chicken, Vindaloo with Shrimp and Garlic Naan. The food was piping hot-temperature wise and arrived in take-out containers. So we needed to wait a few minutes for it to cool a little so we could eat it. Their ice maker wasn't working and the water was warm, so there was no cooling to be found there. When we finally tried the food, we were impressed. The spice-levels of each dish were as expected and the food was delicious! Unfortunately, in the Vindaloo, chicken was put in instead of the shrimp which we had ordered. But it was still good. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Garlic Naan as well. Overall, we were glad to have tried this place. The prices are comparable to other establishments of the same cuisine. However, the food is above average. We'll be back!
