    My friend and I went here on a weekday night. The inside was beautifully decorated with red colors and graffiti painting. The staff was friendly as well! I decided for the Tender Box which came with 2 tenders, 2 slices of white bread, pickles and fries. I went for medium heat level. The tenders were not like the flaky crust like Popeyes. The seasonings were very strong but yet bland without much heat. It tasted more like it was covered in spices than flavors. The spiciness level were like a 2/10. The fries were seasoned well and freshly cooked. The sauce that came with it also lacked a bit of flavor. It definitely does not taste like the Cane's sauce. It if did I'd say a very watered down version of it. It wasn't terrible but I think the meal would have enhanced a lot with the right sauce. The bread was just that. White bread. Not toasted. Sort of like when you order BBQ and it comes with plain white bread. I did take a couple bites out of it to help cleanse my pallets of the chicken. My friend ordered regular loaded fries. It came with chicken bites (like nuggets), with coleslaw and dressing on top. I think this dish was better made because it had a contrast of sweet and sourness from the coleslaw that balances out the saltiness of the chicken and fries. The ambiance and staffs were amazing, but the food itself lacked what I had expected. The chicken should have been the star of my expectations, but unfortunately it was missing something yet the dry seasonings overwhelmed my taste to where I could sometimes taste bitterness. The sauce also lacked flavor to make it for it.

    Dave's is awesome!! Great place to have a quick lunch or order catering for a large staff. Their sandwiches with the Medium to Hot spices are always a hit! Staff are always super friendly and will usually load your to go bags with a bunch of their signature sauce packets. Their Dave's sauce is definitely one of the better ones out of all of the hot chicken establishments.

    The food was amazing, service was beautiful, place was very clean. I loved the music and all of the love in the air as the beautiful chicken made contact with my mouth buds! Delicious!

    Dave's hot chicken is pretty decent. This is the second location I have been to-and the chicken and flavor is pretty consistent between the two chains I have visited. I came here for a class group dinner, and I ordered the 2 slider combo- one medium and one mild. The sliders come with a huge tender that is extremely juicy and well flavored. There are a few slices of thick juicy pickles on each slider that help to cut against the oil and heaviness of the meal. Honestly, the spice level could have been kicked up a notch, but maybe that was my fault for being afraid to go higher than a medium. The crinkle fries that pair with each meal are perfectly crisped and dip well in the signature Dave's sauce. I really like how you can also ask for extra Dave's sauce at the front and they give you this big packet of the delicious condiment. This location had a very clean interior and the service was friendly and nice.

    Well having tried hot chicken in Nashville, I was looking for a hot chicken fix and Dave's came up on the Yelp radar. It is located in a relatively new strip with plenty of parking. We were greeted cheerfully by January. It is a walk up counter. The menu is small but it is great that they focus on their primary item Hot Chicken. So there are strip baskets, slider strip sandwiches and fries topped with Dave's hot chicken and their signature sauce. I went with the strip combo which consisted of two enormous hot chicken strips that brought the heat. There are different heat scales and the hot was the 3rd hottest you can get. The tender is rub centric and is not saucy. It does come with 2 slices of bread and pickles. I added cheese to the crinkle cut fries. Everything was delicious! My only complaint keeping Dave's from 5 stars is you are prompted to tip at the transaction. Sorry cashiers and kitchen staff are paid by the hour and not at a waitstaff wage so they are doing their job and no tip is needed lol. Overall would I come here again? By all means Yes, the food is pretty darn good. And the atmosphere is great and clean.

    Why 3 stars? Because the fries were good, but the chicken was just fine. --- --- --- I headed down to League City to hang out with some family for an afternoon and asked my brother to choose a place where I should pick up food from. He mentioned Dave's, but I was skeptical given the 3.2 star rating. I sent him a couple of local alternative places I'd wanted to try, but let the decision ultimately in his hands. He said Dave's, final answer. So it was on. I ordered a chicken tender basket with the most mild spice. The result? To be really honest, it was not a very memorable meal. I would say that I easily prefer the chicken from Cane's to Dave's. I really thought the fries were well done, but the chicken was a disappointment. They even have a similar sauce to Cane's, but I think Cane's is better there too. My brother insisted the chicken sandwich is the better way to go, so I was offered a bite of that. Was it better? Yes. Was it good enough for me to feel the need to go back to Dave's? No. I did enjoy my slushie drink, though!

    More Foodah!

    Once again, if you haven't tried this joint yet well you're missing out. Service is always so friendly, they always ask if this is your first time here and the walls at graffitied to the max. A small business who went mainstream with their generous portions and tasty grub. Get the works, add the honey and you got yourself a cheesy and sticky smile. Refillable sodas which you'll need because it can get spicy. But don't worry, there's weanie options. Tried the loaded fries today, glad I got the small. The large at 15.99 would suffice as a meal for two. Bathrooms were clean, which you will need to use because this is not a knife and fork place, they have them but trust me you'll want to lick those fingers.

    The wait was long to order, and they don't really have many options. The food is okay, but I don't think it's worth the hype. The ambience of the place is nice, I just wish the food was a bit better.

    Food was very fresh, felt very welcomed, watched a bit of fifa with my wife in a very homey and…read moreclean atmosphere. Great variety in drinks and snacks and the sandwiches were awesome! Will definitely come back again.

    Been a long time customer of the Texas City location near my house. Found myself in the Webster…read morearea for work, and figured I'd give this location a shot. Sub was good, not as great as the Texas city location, but still a quality sub. The issue was the service. Never have I ever experienced such rudeness from staff. Walking in (again, for the first time) I am greeted with a "what do you want" yell. I thought he was joking or messing around at first, but no, dude was serious. I give my order and try to pay. Another yell from him "you pay after you eat" ok, that works, too. All the while, the two other guys on duty are groaning about not having enough time to prepare for the day, complaining about customers on Saturdays, and more. I'm all for hole in the wall, simple no frills dining, but this place had an overall terrible, terrible vibe. I finish eating and go to pay. Guy barks orders at me on how to tap my card. I try different attempts, finally the card reader shows an error. Dude yells at me "LISTEN, OR THAT WILL HAPPEN". Turns out, his WiFi network wasn't on the whole time. Upon discovering this, in his defense he did apologize - but cmon dude. Shouldn't ever treat a customer like that. I slide my card and it works first try, after he turned the WiFi network on. I bumped my tip down from 22% to 18% and walked out. As I exit, I hear grumbles of complaints coming from the dude. Serious disappointment here. Never returning. I hate for one location to taint the other, but I can't say this makes me want to revisit my beloved Texas city location by my house any more, either.
