Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

The chicken is good, the sauce is amazing especially the Dave's sauce. It's just really expensive for what it is. The chicken is tiny. The ambience is kind of a forced generic restaurant where they try to do obscure things to make it seem cool and relevant. The service it depends on who's working. Some days it's amazing and on point Carry out orders are ready when you walk in, food is at your table within 10 minutes, other times you go in there on a Wednesday afternoon. The place is empty and it takes 30 minutes to get a simple order for one or two people. Hit and miss so in the end, it's just average unless you go on a day when amazing people are working read more

Came here on recommendation: Chicken is good but not as hot as I thought. I ordered extra hot and it wasn't hot at all. But their chicken seasoning flavor was good and it was easy to eat without your mouth being on fire. I loved the honey on the side. It was a great addition to the chicken. The ranch was not too bad either. I would order here again. I'll sign the paperwork for the reaper or whatever it is. The hottest could be totally different, but we shall see! Oh I'm going to try the shake too next time. read more

This is my second visit to Dave's. I enjoyed the slider and fries the first time around so I couldn't pass up the chance to have the free slider they offered. Of course it was busy, but the line moves quickly. Once again, I enjoyed the chicken slider with medium spice and the french fries. Next time I'll return and add a refreshing slusher. read more

This one worker was super rude to us right before closing time. We asked a different worker if we had to leave while we were still eating because it was about 3 minutes before closing time. She told us no and she was being very nice to us. 4 minutes later one of the men cashier's who took our order were yelling at us to get out of the store because it was after closing time. All we were going to do was wash our hands and leave but he was very upset and yelling "bro we are closed!!". Very rude never going again, he should get fire read more

As a general rule, I love Dave's Hot Chicken. I frequent their Troy location often, as it's closest to my home, and occasionally the one off 13 mile and Mound. Both are fabulous and wonderful and keep me coming back for more. This location's newer and I've eaten here twice now. While the food's consistent, this place lacks compared to the other two that I go to. It's not one thing, but a few that made me question going to this location. The first time I went here, it was so loud and hard to hear anything. The music makes it hard to hear and was somewhat loud, and it was hard to hear the lady at the register taking my order. anyway, I couldn't figure out why my order was so expensive until it came out later and the order was put in wrong because nobody could hear anyone! Fine, maybe it wasn't the greatest day, so I didn't write a review because as I've stated, I generally like this brand. I stopped in again yesterday because I was hungry and wanted to take advantage of not having to go out of my way for food on the way home from a day in Livonia doing stuff. this time they got my order correct, but it's still kind of a hot mess here. I can't remember the first time I was here or not, but some of the tables most definitely needed to be wiped down from previous diners eating there. (maybe two tables, tops.) Napkins and crumbs were left behind and it just needed to be touched up, thus limiting the seating available for dine in orders. The wait seemed like forever, but again, I could've been tired. Hard to tell. I didn't hear my order called, and when I did go up to grab it, it was in a to go bag. I swear I said dine in! UGH. The staff was nice enough to put it out on a tray for me, but again, service was still slow as all get out this time around as well. Do I still like Dave's Hot Chicken? YES. Their food hits the spot but maybe this location doesn't do it for me. I just feel like there's little things that can be done to improve, including having a dining room person cleaning (wiping down tables, etc) more often. It does get loud in here, I don't know, maybe I'm old but that's a thing too. It can be hard for the staff and the patrons to really understand each other at times. This location isn't bad, it's just not my preferred one. The food's fantastic but maybe not as much fun as the other two I frequent more often. read more

Today Dave's hot chicken celebrated Drakes birthday with a free slider. I stopped by and got my slider with everything on it and extra hot. Being a free slider day, I expected to wait a long time. I waited 6 minutes before my name was called, and was in and out in less than 10 minutes. This slider was absolutely fantastic. it was juicy, crispy, spicy, saucy, and delicious. One free slider turned into a long term customer. Thanks drake and thanks Dave's Hot Chicken! read more

My first time eating Dave's hot chicken excellent portions fantastic service delicious chicken I will be returning

I know it's a chain restaurant, but this place is awesome! My chicken sandwich was juicy and delicious. I ordered it "hot" and was not disappointed. The "hot" at most places is usually on the mild side in my opinion, but Dave's does it right. Definitely one of the top 5 chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Kind of puts the well know chicken place next door to shame and they're open on Sunday lol. I hope to see more Dave's locations in the future! read more

I'd give a 5 star if I didn't have to wait so damn long! I waited 15-20 mins before receiving my order, greeeeat thing I have an hr lunch break. Besides that, GREEEEAT. Everything came out hot, the sandwich is big and very flavorful. I'd eat here again. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Slider and fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

Wow. This chicken is delicious! Juicy, huge tenders that are fried and absolutely COATED with a kickin' nashville-esque dry rub. Served on a slider and/or a piece of toast with pickles, the portions and flavor were both stellar. Fantastic for a quick lunch. If I lived in the Detroit area, I'd certainly be making the weekly pilgrimage to Dave's. read more

The service was nice and friendly! I have that the slider was just okay for me! We thought it was on the salty side and the chicken lack flavor! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Mild Chicken cheese Slider with Cajun Fries. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

This place is the best chain for hot chicken! I have had Nashville hot chicken in Nashville from a few places and it was amazing. Dave's hot chicken is probably the closest you will get to authentic Nashville hot chicken. The flavors are really balanced and it's not just spicy. The dipping sauce was really good and added a good flavor to the chicken. The staff were nice and the restaurant had great seating. read more

Dave's serves up some kicking' chicken! Moist and delicious and as spicy hot as you could possibly want it (or choose to not want it)! Fries have a nice edge to them and Coke products on tap. Attentive counter service and served up as quickly as freshly cooked serves up. I'm liking Dave's a lot! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

Took 45 minutes to make two sandwiches the staff had attitudes and were disrespectful and rude

I was thinking, just another chicken place when my buddy suggested we stop in. Was hoping they would have fried chicken, but all meals are done with chicken fingers. That said, the chicken fingers were some of the best I've had, and the spice and sauces were excellent. Little pricey for chicken fingers, but the taste is unique, so I'll give it another shot. read more

Clean and cashiers are friendly with smiles. The chicken is a bit pricey. If they are going to last in this spot so close to the competitor they will need daily specials or something. I am a spicy girl for sure. HOWEVER, when they said spicy they mean it!! The spice level I tried first time there was hot. Oopsie, not I good choice for a first timer. But I'm a trooper so I covered in honey and ate it. Scrumptious!!! There fries are ok - nothing special just regular old crinkle fries. The slice of bread was stale and not a quality product. I feel that if you are going to service bread it should be a decent quality especially if that is the only side. The wait was average, the restaurant was larger inside than expected. A steady stream of people coming and going. I notice most people ordered online to escape the standing around waiting. The next time I ordered from there I got medium spice. Well let's just say mild might be my new speed. read more

Food is A1, but most importantly the customer service was amazing. I couldn't speak highly enough about Lily and the entire staff. The quality of the chicken and the flavors are surprising given that this is a fast food joint. I will most definitely be back! read more

11-8-2023 After we took my mom to her eye appt. , we stopped here to get some take out tenders. They were very good, juicy inside, crunchy outside with nice spice. The stale bread was a bit weird, but we will be returning! read more

This was my first visit to Dave's Hot Chicken. Lilly took my order and she was very helpful explaining all the levels of hotness of the chicken and the difference between all of the options. I loved the taste, the spiciness and tenderness of the chicken. It is truly the best chicken I have had in many years. I will be certain to return as I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken. Next time, I will try the hot cauliflower. I would rate Dave's Hot Chicken an 11 out of a possible 10! My only suggestion was that should be toothpicks available for after the meal. I also had an opportunity to speak with Aaron (from Dave's Hot Chicken administration) who was in the restaurant while I was there. He was very pleasant and answered all my questions about Dave's locations near San Mateo California. The restaurant is very clean and I enjoyed the music which was piped into the seating area. read more

Wow! not only is this one of the most fun themed places I've ever been to... I'm in love with the rubber chickens... but the service at this particular location was outstanding! The manager and the young girl Bree and another girl behind the counter, all three of them were just incredible. I actually was not able to eat because I'm on a special diet and I can't have breading but I will be back as soon as I am able to have some fried chicken! I think the manager said his name was Jaylin but I might not be remembering that right. He was tall. anyway he was so sweet. He apologized and said that they can't drop the chicken without the breading because they have certain standards that they have to uphold. He offered me a side but unfortunately I wasn't able to have anything. So he gave me a water and the girls gave me five rubber chicken stickers! YAYYY!!! by the way, I was cracking up that there is a rubber chicken in the fire extinguisher case. read more

The chicken tenders at the Southfield location were EXTREMELY SMALL compared to the other locations. The order of cheese fries, I maybe had 10 -12 fries in my entire order. WTF? I'll NEVER EVER go to that location again!! read more
