Food was delicious! Nice and hot and tasted like it was made to order. Flavors were incredible and every bite of food was delicious. Kavae was so helpful and walked us thru the menu as it was our first time eating here! We ordered #4 mild chicken sandwich, the #1 with one hot tender and one mild tender and then three mozzerella pieces that were mild, extra hot and medium. The cheese pull from Dave hots mozz was insane! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - 2 tenders and fries. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Rock Hill, South Carolina

Dave's has remarkably consistent chicken across all its chains. This location also has amazing customer service. Maybe it's just a Southern thing but the lady that took my order was the most polite, nice food service worker I've talked with for a while. Absolute stand out job, I was having a crappy day and it reminded me that there's many good things about humanity. Wish I had caught her name but whoever was working the drive thru just after 1pm is awesome read more

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 read more

Crazy loud in here. Metal chairs on cement floors and something keeps banging, music is playing... System is down so I can't use my rewards or get rewards for the meal today. The food took a very long time today. read more

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. read more

Based on the highly favorable ratings by some of my Yelp! buddies, I gave Dave's a try. It was not good. In my opinion it was a 2-star and my Yelp! rating average is a 3.47, but my Yelp! buddies must be tasting something that I am not, so here is a 3-star. I had the #1 order which was two chicken tenders with fries. I also had a very nice vanilla shake. The shake was not frozen, but smooth and flowed. Tasty, just could not use a straw, but good. I like spice, but not knowing their scale, ordered medium spice. The chicken appeared to be way over cooked, almost fried black. But the inside was hot, steamy and tender. Medium spice was, to my taste, a little too mild, so next time will move up the heat scale. It must be a matter of individual taste. I asked people at other tables and they said their meals were great and that they liked Dave's. I will give it another try, probably bringing someone with me. read more

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? read more

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. read more

Easy to order, order was ready when promised, orders were perfect, tasty, spiced right, and fair amount of food for the money!

Here's a polished Yelp-style review that still feels natural and enthusiastic: Server Jessica was delightful and incredibly helpful--top-tier customer service. The food was amazing; I loved every bite. I ordered the slider and tender combo: slider hot, tender extra hot--and the extra hot absolutely lived up to its name . My wife got the mild chicken bites, and she loved them just as much. We both had a fantastic experience at Dave's Hot Chicken in Rock Hill. We went through the drive-thru, and honestly, I've never had such great service at a drive-thru before. Excellent all around--highly recommend! read more

After picking up a few Door Dash orders for customers, I decided to give Dave's a try. OUTSTANDING customer service from the cashier, to the managers walking around and asking if everything was okay. I had The Dave's #4 Slider (medium sauce) with fries. At first I thought the chicken was an odd shape, sticking out of the bun. But then I realized, I got a few "bonus bites" before actually starting my sandwich. I highly recommend Dave's Hot Chicken! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Rock Hill, South Carolina

Staff and food were amazing! Their entire system was down and they still were super friendly and efficient.

Ordered online. Went to pick up my order through the drive-thru. The customer in front of me had a large order, so they had me park and walk in just to wait in line to pick up my order. The person with the large order should've parked and waited until their order was brought out to them...like every other restaurant does. Disappointing service. Food is mid. Won't be back. read more

This was a first visit to Daves after many months of my kids begging me to make the 40 minute drive. It did not disappoint! I had the two tender meal with fries and medium heat. All I can say is WOW!! It was worth the drive for sure. The friendly, fast service made the visit even better. Highly recommend. read more

Really nice workers (occasional mishap but hey bad days yk) - cleaner than other fast food places - and definitely a "cheat meal" trying to fest sort of filling read more

Place is super good, but the prices aren't extremely high for some chicken if only if they lowered their prices and actually gave you combos instead of having to buy items individually, this place would be a banger read more

The food is good. The price is ok. The wait in the drive thru is absolutely unacceptable. 15 minutes for a chicken sandwich is crazy. I've been 3 times. Once without a single car ahead of me. I've never sat less than 15 minutes there. read more

Thanks Dave's for the inviting energy and ambiance, oh yes of course the banging food. Jessica was lovely and patient answering all of my questions. Every employee we encountered while here was so kind and friendly almost if I didn't know better they were happy to be there. The food is what's up, but the service and culture of Dave's beats even the food 11/10 TOP NOTCH see yall soon read more

Love the food! I order medium heat which is all the flavor with little to no burn. The staff always look happy to see me and are very attentive to my needs. The atmosphere is casual but very upbeat and artistic! This will be my new regular lunch spot. read more

The food is delicious, the service is excellent and the ambiance is amazing. The employees are very helpful and friendly.

First time and unfortunately the last... My daughter mentioned this place and my wife was looking for something new. So, we drove 20 minutes anticipating food worth the drive. We were disappointed. The chicken was nothing special and over-seasoned. It's been an hour and I still taste it. The fries were basic crinkle fries, and again, nothing special. I ordered a milkshake at a little over $4 for a small. Half of it went in the trash. Over-priced for a machine shake and not good. I wish this establishment well and I'm sure their food fits some folk's taste, just not ours. read more

All around awesome experience, from the lady that greeted me when entering the store, the gentleman at the register (he was right the orange cream slasher taste just like the orange creamsicle ice cream bars and was amazing, I typically don't like things like that but 10/10) and Stephaine as well (The Dave's Sauce and Honey went great together thanks for the recommendation!) Good quality of food portions, the crinkle fries with cheese was great! I had the 10pc Dave's Bites, also great! Service was amazing all around. I highly recommend this location, will definitely try again whenever I'm in the area. read more

So good. Make sure you squeeze honey over the tenders. Perfection! Very friendly staff. Can't wait to go back! read more

This location was not the easiest to access at night if you are not familiar with the area. We went thru the drive thru as there was a long line outside. We ordered the Dave's Hot Chicken Sandwich with cheese. TBH, it's a normal chicken sandwich similar to Chick-fil-A, but with the added heat on it. If you like a good chicken sandwich check them out. read more

Leaving 5 stars bc the food and service is always top notch. they go above and beyond with their customer service. this time tho, one of their employees was just in the dinning area and chatted on FaceTime very loudly for the whole time I was eating my food. I and everyone around me had to listen to her conversation. looking around it seemed to annoy other customers as well as myself. the employees even seem to be annoyed with it. the manager must of been on break bc I don't see this happening with the managers I met before on duty. it was a young girl with blonde hair. read more

Amazing food. Everyone was super nice and helpful and accommodating. Sliders were as big as a regular sandwiches anywhere else. They kept the tables and chairs so clean even outside. So glad we stopped. read more

Probably will never go back. The food was plenty flavorful but just not the flavor I enjoy. Unfortunately didn't get straws or napkins and the bread was not toasted, not sure if that's standard. Seems just a little too pricey to not LOVE IT. read more

Delicious and freshly made food! Great staff-professional and friendly. Explained menu. 10/10

I've been to this Dave's Hot Chicken place once, and it was a lot better than the other one i've been to. The staff were friendly and the food came out quick and it was so delicious.

My teenage son's wanted to try the chicken. Two of us tried the reaper!! We signed the waiver, took the challenge, and scorched mouth. The pickles extinguished the heat . We knew what we were signing up for. The staff was super friendly and the place was clean. read more

Dave's has such a great menu, everything made fresh, and they are very flexible with customizations. They always have such lively music playing, and the ambience and vibe is overall very fun and kid friendly.
