Great chicken. I love it. Juicy and delicious. Their mozzarella sticks are also quite good. This place is great. The only bad thing is the temperature of the place. First time I went my fingers pretty much froze off and my chicken got cold very quick. Next time I sat outside and actually enjoyed my hot chicken. read more

Love to give a 5 but 4 is best I can do based solely on the 16 min wait to get my food and wasn't to go. Got the Dave's Big Trio and couldn't finish it so be hungry! Now with the epic wait DID come with some of the freshest chicken and savory taste I've ever had in a fast food chain . I would say start at medium if not a hot freak . The slaw in the sliders is good and bread was fresh as well. It is a tad salty because I believe the season is brushed on more than baked on to save the moisture of the chicken. Now the real winner is the mozzarella blocks not sticks, they are huge and heavy goodness for the taste buds- excellent ! Price was decent for value and atmosphere is ok but nothing fancy. I would return for sure. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Schertz, Texas

First time trying DHC and still wondering how such a new place is already in a state of disrepair? We tried three different tables and every one of them was extremely wobbly. Set your elbows on the table and the whole thing tips! But I digress... Bright and colorful, welcoming interior, with tall ceilings and not very many tables. The high ceilings and the AC ducts up there made the dining room absolutely freezing. Bring your hoodie. Ordered the 1 slider 1 tender meal #3. (Drinks are not included) food arrived, chicken was hot and fries were not. The tenders they use are heavily breaded but very large and tender. Quality tender for sure, just wish they didn't have such heavy breading. The cold fries were nothing special. If you're sensitive to heat levels, you probably don't want to go more than medium. We had medium and hot, and the hot had quite a kick (we like hot and spicy but I could see how this could surprise some people). Pickles on the side were really good. Staff was very friendly, and they even had someone regularly clearing the tables. We felt the DHC experience was overhyped. We found the whole experience was just ok. It definitely draws the teen crowd, and we would consider dropping in if we were nearby, but definitely not something to go out of our way for. read more

I needed to get something fast in the area and I stumbled upon this hidden gem! When I drove up I noticed it was new as well as other businesses in the shopping area. It has a drive through and the employee helped me with the menu through the speaker. I love spicy, so I ordered the #3 which is 1 tender and 1 slider. But let me tell you, there is nothing small about these tenders and sliders, they are a great portion size! I went all out and got the Hot for the slider and really hot for the tender. And they were pretty spicy. They also have the Carolina Reaper heat level, which I will try next time! The price is decent for the portion size and they also have military discount, which is a plus! So I will most definitely order here again! Great chicken and the fries are perfect! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - #3 Slider and a tender - Chicken Shop Near Me - Schertz, Texas

From the moment the door swung up, we were greeted with smiling faces and a big "WELCOME TO DAVES" The service from Candace outstanding. Her professionalism, knowledge of Dave's menu and pricing, and her ability to deliver the best service with the happiest smile on her face was enough to make me want to return. Thank You Candace your service wasn't unnoticed. Ms Gloria and McKenzie were also very kind and checked on us while we waited for our food as well as came to see if we needed anything else after we received our order. The food was hot and delicious. The NEW mozzarella sticks were just perfect. Very flavorful, crunchy, and had a great cheese pull. The only thing that was missing was some ranch (my preference) the chicken bites were fried perfect, and dipped in that hot Honey it was a party in my mouth. The fries were crispy and seasoned. I genuinely enjoyed the food from Dave's Hot chicken. read more

I had to check out Dave's Hot Chicken after seeing all the hype ,and wow, it did not disappoint! They just opened and the cars were literally lined up around the corner, which made me even more curious. I ordered the chicken tenders with fries. I originally thought they only served super spicy chicken, but they actually offer different heat levels, including mild and medium. I went with the medium, and it was perfect, flavorful with just the right kick. The chicken was incredibly juicy and tender, and you can tell it's made fresh. The fries were great too, but the chicken definitely stole the show. I'll definitely be coming back, next time with my husband so he can try it too. read more

They are doing well getting the kinks out for a newly opened location! We just went there for lunch and received our food hot and fresh and in a timely manner. The employees were kind and helpful and the restaurant was clean. We got there right before the rush, so I'm sure the wait is a little longer when one comes during a peak time, but we only waited about 10 minutes for our 2 meals. We each got the "bites" (chicken nuggets) with mine being the "hot" level and my friend's being the "mild spice" level. We both enjoyed them, but I can't imagine going hotter than the hot level, whoo it was warm! Will definitely be back, keep up the good work! read more

Have been waiting impatiently for this location to open up, so happy we had to go for the grand opening! I have to say they handled the crowd so well such a good flow with amazing customer service. I know once we got in and ordered food it came along quickly. My slider was perfect with the fries, very tasty with a good size of chicken. A different twist with the kale slaw as well. Now my fruity pebbles milk shake wasn't worth it to me, it was a mid vanilla with a chunk of fruity pebbles on top, so I don't recommend that. There is a good amount of seating with a cool design inside and then outdoor seating as well. Overall I will be back, because who can resist a good chicken sandwich with some yummy fries! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken slider with fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Schertz, Texas

First time at Dave's Hot Chicken. Whoever designed the interior did an excellent job--I love the wall art. The staff was super friendly, and everyone seemed well-prepared and ready to help. They don't have the app or kiosks up and running yet, but as a customer, it really helps to know what you want before getting to the register to keep things moving smoothly. The chicken was extremely crunchy and juicy. I ordered the tender and slider meal with no heat, and my husband ordered the two-tender meal with medium heat. Y'all... these tenders are HUGE. The meals were very filling--we couldn't even finish the fries (and honestly, you don't even need them). Now that I know better, I'll definitely ask for an extra cup of Dave's sauce next time because it was delicious for dipping. My husband said he'd go up one heat level and also add extra sauce. Overall, great first experience--definitely go show them some love! read more

I love Dave's been a fan for years. This location is nice and had solid staff. The food was good as always as well. The only thing I have to gripe about is the tables. Man, like I love to lean on a table since I am tall and it, bugged me a lot. Other than that I appreciate the vibes and food. read more

We are very familiar with Dave's and we love their food. We recently found out this location is here very close to us and of course had to go. First impressions walking in I was greeted with a very nasty smell like just unclean smelling. Besides that the restaurant looked lovely. Nice and clean. Staff was kind, our food came out quickly. Food was as good as usual, chicken was very flavorful and juicy. Vey good besides the smell and very shaky tables. read more

My son chose to have his birthday dinner here. My first time, the rest of my family's second time. We were greeted upon entry. Order taken quickly and food came out fresh. I ordered the medium sliders with fries. The chicken is so crunchy and flavorful. I'm not big on spicy but the medium paired with the bun it comes in and the Dave's sauce were the perfect trio. The restaurant was freezing when we first got there and then they turned the air up a little and it was comfortable. I'd recommend anyone looking for a great chicken sandwich to come here. read more

We love the cauliflower options. It's a great fast food option for vegetarians. It's a wittle pricey but worth it for some vegetarian junk food. I also really enjoy the giant cheesesticks. Service is good and my drive thru orders have always been correct. read more

Definitely a win. This was our first time at Dave's Hot Chicken and we weren't disappointed at all. We both ordered the chicken sliders, my husband got his hot while I kept mine plain. The chicken was incredibly juicy and flavorful, and the kale slaw added a nice crunch. These were definitely not your average sliders. They also came with crinkle cut fries, which were a great bonus. Overall, it was absolutely worth the trip. We'll definitely be back. read more

Good stuff! Came in one night to try the mozzarella sticks I heard about. It was my first time here so I got a plate too. The food was good. Served fresf, took about 6 mins for them prepare the order. Great service inside. Plenty of friendly employees moving around and staying busy and being helpful. They were out of the mozzarella sticks which was the reason I came. But I still had a great experience for my first time. The restaurant was clean and spacious. I'll go back to give it another try! read more

I was very impressed with the flavor of the chicken, especially the chicken Mac and cheese!, and the presentation. The prices are very good and I hope it stands the test of time considering current prices. The chicken was spicy but not overpowering. I highly recommend this place!! read more

I decided to try Dave's Hot Chicken and came away with mixed, but mostly positive, impressions. The Cauli Tender with Hot seasoning was crispy, surprisingly meaty, and a great option if you're looking to switch things up from traditional chicken. The chicken tender with the Reaper seasoning delivered the heat I expected while staying juicy and crispy. The mac & cheese was a solid side, while the kale slaw had a nice crunch but felt a little bland and could have used a bit more dressing or seasoning to make it stand out. My meal came to about $24 for two tenders, two sides, and a drink, which felt a little expensive considering the portion size and the many great hot chicken options around town. The food was good, but not memorable enough for the price. I'd go back, but it wouldn't be my first choice or a place I'd pick when trying to get the most value for my money. 4 out of 5 stars. read more

***CONSUMER BEWARE*** Dave's Hot Chicken participates in deceptive advertising language. Example: Regular Top-Loaded Spicy Buffalo Mac Description: Dave's mac & cheese piled high with fries, ranch, spicy buffalo sauce, and Dave's Bites. Implies: Product 1 (Mac n Cheese) has a higher volume than Product 2 (Fries, ranch, spicy buffalo sauce, and Dave's Bites) Manager Confirmation of Product Weights: 4 oz Mac n cheese 6-7 oz Fries Sauces 6 Dave's Bites Product when assembled: Bed of fries, Mac n cheese on top, Ranch, Spicy Buffalo Sauce, and Dave's Bites Violation: False advertising that uses comparative language--implying Product 1 has more volume than Product 2--when the opposite is true is a violation of consumer protection laws, including the Lanham Act in the US. Under Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, comparative claims must be truthful and substantiated, and it is illegal for ads to deceive consumers through misleading imagery, text, or implications. Why This Is A Violation: Product description "Dave's mac & cheese piled high with fries, ranch, spicy buffalo sauce, and Dave's Bites" implies the primary product purchased is Mac N Cheese. Actual product produced and sold is "Fries piled high with Dave's mac & cheese, ranch, spicy buffalo sauce, and Dave's Bites." Deceptive marketing language currently used reasonably implies the consumer is receiving Mac n cheese as their primary product with some fries, some sauce and some chicken bites. The product weights broken down, and confirmed by this location's manager, clearly reflect restaurant is in violation of deceptive marketing practices. I verified received net weights using a food scale to confirm. Net weights received reflected net weights stated by manager. 4 oz of mac n cheese which is less than 6-7 oz of fries. Fix it. read more

I used to live in LA and frequently ate at Dave's. I was happy to see they were opening here. I had the 2 slider meal with fries. One mild and one medium heat. I felt like it wasn't quite as good as I remembered. The flavor was good but the chicken was just a bit dry. I wouldn't bag on it though. Maybe my expectations were too high. Their fries were great as always. I ordered online and scheduled my pick up. It was waiting for me when I walked in. The servers were friendly and offered me condiments. The interior was clean and pleasant. I'll be back. read more

It was good, fries and chicken were amazing. I'd say saucy bites are bad but typical strips and bites are great and hot isn't that hot. Extra hot and above for those who can take heat are the challenge. Ambiance was a great casual sit down experience. Service wasn't that great. Wasn't good or bad. Was what you'd expect at fast food. Nothing like Canes and Chick Fil A experience though. read more

It's overhyped and the food was mediocre. We payed almost $60 for two meals and two extra sides. The chicken wasn't flavorful at all. Such a disappointment. read more

We had it on the south side, was pretty good. Then they made this one, we were so excited, then VERY quickly disappointed. To-Go bag was dripping with sauce, they packed it to where all the containers where lopsided, leaking into each other and into the bag. I couldn't even get mad, because it was that ridonkulous. So of course, I had to make the trip back INSIDE (terrible customer service, as they have the youngest local high school children managing the place), they addressed it - then got home, all the boxes were nasty and sticky on the outside. And to be very honest - the chicken was over-slathered, wet and cold, BBQ smoke favor made all 5 people at my table gag - literally, it was so gross. Try the BBQ - it WILL make you gag. (we are in the process of making a TikTok video of it - "try not to gag on Dave Hot Chicken BBQ sauce". The channel hasn't been made yet, but we have collected over 14 videos of people gagging on the Daves Hot Chicken BBQ sauce. Other than that, it was pretty - gross. It really is. If you want to go to a mediocre chicken place run by children that doesn't taste good - this is the place for you! Enjoy! read more

Just went here for dinner on a Sunday evening and the place was packed so I figured there would be a long wait. Nope, got my food in about five minutes. Got the #3 combo of a slider, a tender, and fries extra hot and gotta say they completely nailed everything. I love heat but have no desire for something stupidly hot I have to sign a waiver for, so forget reaper level spice, but the extra hot was just what I was looking for. Pretty decent heat that made me sweat a little but not something that's going to make you cough or anything. Chicken was cooked perfectly too, very juicy inside, nice and crispy and covered in hot sauce outside. It's pretty pricy but the tenders are huge and enjoyed the slaw on the slider too. I like that they serve real honey with your meal also. Staff was friendly. Overall have nothing but great things to say about the place and will definitely be back when I'm in the mood for some more heat. read more
