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

    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

    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!

    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.

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

    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!

    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.

I was a bit early for lunch arriving around 11:30 am. 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!

From the moment you walk in,…read moreyou'll notice an impressive menu with plenty of options, but the real standouts are their soup and chicken. The soup is something special--rich, flavorful, and genuinely comforting. It's easy to see why regulars rave about how it feels almost "healing"; it's the perfect start to any meal. As for their chicken, it's juicy, perfectly seasoned, and always fresh. Whether you order a quarter, half, or whole, it's cooked just right and pairs well with classic sides like rice, beans, and plantains. Mr. Pollo does a great job balancing homestyle comfort with Latin American flair, making each bite memorable but not overcomplicated. What really makes Mr. Pollo worth visiting is not just the food, but the vibe. Service is warm and relaxed, and the atmosphere is unfussy--which is perfect when you just want good food without a lot of fanfare. If you're in the mood to try something new, the menu's got plenty of options, but even the basics are done really well. Whether it's a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner, Mr. Pollo hits the mark. Give it a try, especially if you want a meal that feels comforting and satisfying.
