1 Tender - Mild
Gary E.

So I was cooped up in my room watching Tik Tok's of people burning their mouth on something called Dave's Hot Chicken and since I am basically a giant chicken tender I thought it would be fun to try it out. So I took a nice drive down to the town of Rock Hill to see what all the fuss was about. I arrived around 12:30 on a Thursday afternoon. I wasn't feeling especially dressed up enough to head inside and as there was no line for the drive thru I gave it a go! I had looked at the menu online before going but was grateful when I pulled up to the menu board and there wasn't 20 different options to make my brain explode over what I was gonna pick. Since I just wanted to try this out I just went with the 1 tender option. The two tender with crinkle cut fries will probably be my go to in the future but for now I was just taste testing. I also ordered the Dave's Bites. Which was a container of ten "nugget" like pieces of chicken. The customer service I received was amazing. I was asked if this was my first time. As it was she asked me if she could go over anything or answer any questions. I said no thanks as I pretty much knew what I was gonna get. She made sure to asked what spice level I wanted for each item and she asked if I wanted anything else which is nice because I hate when they just cut you off and tell you the price. I drove around and paid. Now there was a bit of a wait at the window. I don't know if they cook to order or what. The wait wasn't bad, a couple of minutes. At a more typical fast food place I would say it was long but I think it was about right for what I was getting. As I was waiting I saw what looked like a slushy machine and I saw they had milk shakes on the menu board so I'm definitely coming back to try those items. Soon enough I was handed my order and off I went. I was given plenty of napkins and utensils and even honey packets! I didn't wait to eat, I pulled into a parking spot and dove in. The Tender was of a very good size! I took a bite of the end just to gage that crunch and spice level. It was hot and juicy and yummy! I then wrapped it up between the piece of bread that it's served with and ate it like a hot dog. The spice reminded me of like Taco seasoning. I don't know how else to describe it. Being that I ordered the mild I don't think I will be ordering much higher on the spice levels. The Dave bite's (nuggets) were very good too. They were each of a good size, not small and all breading like some other places may have but really just a bite size piece of tender. Overall I have to see it was a great experience. Tasty and the price didn't burn my wallet like the spices did to my lips! If you are in the mood for some good spicy tenders you need to check this place out!

2 tenders and fries.

The chickens here are crunchy, well seasoned and delicious! The seasoning has a potent, strange smell but the chicken tasted good. There's a hint of sweetness. Same with the fries, they're crunchy and well seasoned too! Delicious when it's fresh out of the fryer!! The mild and medium are really not hot at all, I can't detect any heat. If you like it hot I would go with hot or extra hot!

Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries with medium heat, pretty good

First time trying what seems to be a very popular brand, everything was good, interesting interior (a little loud) but the food was pretty good, just tried a slider with medium heat and it was good

Nice simple location but need to make sure drinks don't taste bad. We changed flavors twice. The food was good and it was nice to sit outside. It's fast food so you get what you pay for.

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

I love Dave's, I've been coming here since they opened. My favorite thing to order is the Number 3, tender mild and the slider hot. The bread helps the heat. My girlfriend also craves it once a month iykyk and I'm not mad about it

Yes, back for more of Dave's Hot Chicken. This time I went for the 'Extra Hot' and it was! My eyes were watering and I drank some milk and cold water for relief. The in/out in the drive-thru here is so smooth and easy. They are quick and all about customer experience. Today a young lady named Kavae greeted me and was nice and professional. Once again, great flavor, yes you get the heat and it's hotter than the hot. You just have to try it to see what I mean.

WRONG ORDER!

First time and last time! Ordered the number 4 combo and then added and side of ranch for $1.49 ( they must think we are fools for paying this much for so little) and the total order was about $13.00 and that DID NOT include a drink. I got my order very quickly and realized I wasn't going to be able eat this . I took one bite and broke out in a massive sweating episode . I over heard someone saying that got the wrong order at the register and that when I realized my order was also mixed up. They fixed the order and even offered a free drink but the damage was done and I wasn't enjoying the new food because the heat in my mouth. DAVE you need to better! How about flags in the food denoting heat levels?

Jessica is so sweet she took great care of me! I always love their juicy chicken I crave it!

I'm glad we did!…read more This is a family-owned business, and everything is cooked to order, so expect a little wait--but it's worth it for fresh food. We ordered the catfish, whiting, chicken, and a kids' chicken tender meal. For sides, we tried the okra, potato salad, and fries. The standout for me was the catfish with the mild seasoning. The flavor was excellent and perfectly balanced. I couldn't taste the seasoning quite as much on the chicken, but it was still good. We also tried the Hot Honey sauce, which added a nice sweet-and-spicy kick. The sides were decent, the portions were satisfying, and the prices were very reasonable. I also noticed they offer daily specials, which is a nice bonus. Overall, a solid spot for fresh seafood and chicken, friendly family-business vibes, and good value.

That's a good sign to say the least. I ordered a chicken tender combo meal to try this place out since everything's good ! I got it hot with fries and a drink. The chicken was great with the homemade ranch dressing. It had just enough heat and yet still great flavor. I took my last chicken finer to my son and it was at the peak of his heat tolerance but he still really enjoyed it. Next time I want to try the seafood. Only downside is the deep fryer smell that lingered in my clothes after being in the restaurant. I think next time I will call ahead and limit my time on the restaurant. With that said, everyone was very friendly from the staff to the customers. Helen's know how to fry up some goodness. O

My go-to flavors are Golden Original, Spicy Original, and Soy Garlic--they're all packed with flavor. One of my favorite things is the crunchiness.

Recently ordered an 8-piece boneless chicken box. When I picked it up, the counter person asked if I wanted a sauce with my order. I told him that I do not like sweet or honeyed chicken, but do like spicy. He said "all of our sauces are sweet". I asked if there were any other options and he said, "ranch". Sold! And it was good likely house - made ranch dressing. Once home I took a bite of this wonderful fried chicken, dipped in ranch dressing. It was really yummy. However, when I looked at the area where I bit, it was red/raw. Undercooked. There were seven pieces left so I decided to check them for doneness. Three pieces were wings, from very tiny chickens, each with a strip of skin. It was all fried and too thin to be undercooked. I cut the remaining four pieces in half, length-wise and all of them were red/raw in the middle. If the chicken were slathered with sauce, you would not notice, but just in case, ask for "well-done" when you order to make certain. I put the four pieces into our air fryer and they came out fine. If you like sweet sauces, honey sweet sauces, this is your place. The chicken is excellent, but order well done.

There was only two people in this very cute restaurant. Lots of table and chairs inside and outside for seating. I was a bit overwhelmed trying to take everything in. They have a counter top where you can see them cutting actual chicken and potatoes for the fries and placing them into what appears to be high pressure deep fryers. This place has been set up to make you the best pieces of chicken you can get. I ordered The Beaut (minus the mayo) a large chicken breast covered in a crispy batter and perfectly deep fried! There was a good amount of pickles with the sandwich, like 4 or 5 which really covered the entire sandwich so you always got a bit of them. The bun was not my favorite. I'm not sure how to describe it. A little smushed is the best way I guess. I also ordered a 6 piece bites package. These things were full on huge chunks of chicken they seasoned and deep fried. I don't normally like to take pictures of food partially eaten but I had to show what one of the bites looked like after taking a bite. They were large, hot and cooked to perfection. I did try some of their BBQ sauce. Not a big fan but it wasn't bad. I also got an order of the skin on hand cut fries! OMG they were so good! They gave me a large bag of hot fries that just totally completed this meal! And I'm talking they should have come with a warning they were so hot! Loved it! As I was waiting for my order to be bagged I notice the large cookies and the glazed hand pies they had on the counter. This isn't like other major food chains so the price is a little higher but you are getting quality food. If you are looking for some good fried chicken and hot fries then I highly recommend this place!
