First time dining at Dave's Hot Chicken. The place was filled with customers on the day of our…read morevisit. There were lots of kids and teenagers. The interior was bouncing with noise. It was fine because it must mean their food is good :) We ordered Dave's combo #3 which came with 1 tender, 1 sandwich, fries and a piece of bread. My husband and I don't normally eat much so this combo was just right for us. You can order different spice level for each piece of chicken. We ordered Hot for the sandwich and medium for the tender. Hot is spicy but it is really not super spicy. In fact, it is more salty than spicy. I think I can definitely get the spice level one notch up but I don't think my husband can handle it. We suspect that they marinate their chicken pieces in brine. This may explain why the chicken is very salty. However the chicken was very moist. The Hot piece felt like it was even saltier than the medium spice level. Not that it was not good but it definitely helps to eat the chicken with bread! Their fries are crinkle style and was fried to perfection. It was seasoned well. I like it just the way it was prepared. The service was good. We will definitely go back again.

What I will caution about: decor was loud as was the noise level bouncing off all the hard surfaces in the eating area, chicken is brined so adding the Nashville hot sauces make the chicken very salty tasting. Pickle slices are inherently salty. Bottom line is that it's nice to have another national chicken chain in the area and extra nice if you like Nashville hot-style chicken. If you like spicy food and are OK with salt, this is your place. Would be better if you could have the spiciness w/o increasing the saltiness cuz the chicken was delicious. And the staff were quite friendly too.

I remember when Bonchon was just a random chicken place that opened up in California, its draw was…read morethat it was of a renowned Korean chain. Upon first bite you'll realize how different it is from traditional fried chicken, and now it is the flagship for most people's first foray into KFC ( Korean Fried Chicken). The location in Clackamas Town Center is of no exception, and their quality and speed are still up to par. It's a great casual place to have some fried chicken and snacks ( or even heavier meals) with the family or friends. Their service is like any other chain, don't expect anything stellar, but there are no complaints either. The food is consistent, fresh, hot, crunchy, and plenty of flavor no matter what you get. I recommend trying their original flavors the Spicy and Soy Garlic wings on your first venture, but if you're familiar already then dive into their more expansive menu! I haven't had a miss yet, though their specialty is definitely their wings. The rest of their menu doesn't miss, but they aren't top tier compared to dedicated Korean restaurants. I find this to be more satisfying than anything in the Clackamas food courts, so I recommend anyone who hasn't tried Bonchon to give a look!

The chicken itself was the highlight, fresh, crispy, juicy, and meaty. The sandwich especially had a great portion size and really delivered on flavor. The wings were decent, but the sandwich definitely stole the show. Service was friendly and straightforward. It was a bit slower when we arrived, so the food came out quickly, which was a plus. The space has a fun Western theme and was very clean with plenty of seating. I'd go back for the flavor and the price point alone. Definitely recommend to friends if you're looking for crispy chicken that doesn't break the bank.

With delivery and tip, our total was about $79...which seems steep, but realistically their "sliders" are about the size of a standard Popeyes chicken sandwich with a HUGE piece of chicken. We got 4 sandwiches, fries, mac and cheese and the five piece mozzarella "slabs" (they're not sticks lol), plus I ordered a large ranch and Dave's sauce (like a better version of Chic-Fil-A sauce) and a small hot honey and Reaper ranch...so price pretty standard for the amount of food. The food traveled well and these were literally the best chicken sandwiches we've had. Chicken was juicy and crispy and a dry season that was insanely good. Slaw was crunchy and pickles were tangy. I added hot honey and Dave's sauce to mine and they were amazing. Fries are standard crinkle cut, but well seasoned and crispy. Mac and cheese was good, pretty much the exact kind you'd want as a kid...gooey and Kraft like flavored but with shells and a little wetter. Mozzarella "sticks" were good, I got them in Mild and if anything they were seasoned with the same seasoning they use for the chicken and very good, but surprisingly a bit too salty for me...I'd probably stick to the sandwiches and the fries to be honest. OKAY, but for the HEAT LEVELS: I debated for a while on which to order because I'd say we have a decent spice tolerance...like habaneros are my favorite, but I find them spicy. Buldak ramen is hot as heck, but manageable. To be safe, I got us each a Mild and Medium the first time and we noticed very little variation between the two, and maaaaybe a small spice kick on the back end with the Medium. That being said, we both agreed we'd like a little extra spice next time and considering the jump between Mild and Medium was so minimal, we figured Hot or Extra Hot would be good for us. WE WERE SO WRONG. We ordered again on Sunday. Two Hot sandwiches and one Extra Hot to share...and I highly recommend ordering either of those if you enjoy pain, anguish, are looking to smell colors and taste sounds; because I'm pretty sure we both almost simply passed away. I used half a large container of Dave's sauce on my Hot sandwich as well as an ungodly amount of honey...and by the time the tears in my eyes cleared I realized my fiance was just walking laps through the house in between bites. The flavor is still there, but at what cost? About 20 minutes after eating we both resigned to carrying the fireball in our stomachs to lie down and wait to succumb to our choices, only to awake 4 hours later with hiccups and burps that would make a fire breathing dragon envious. Just be warned if you like spice, you won't find it in the Medium except for at a totally normal amount, if you love spice...you'll find it and then hate that you did at the Hot or above amount. Suffice to say, we'll be returning often...or ordering (whatever)...but we're sticking to Medium even if that makes us wimpy. And if you know someone who chooses Extra Hot or Reaper for enjoyment, you should not only fear them, but get a restraining order...because something ain't right if you can enjoy that. And if you're chaotic like us and STILL want to try a higher spice amount, do yourself a favor and just order a single tender first to try the different levels so you can enjoy your meal fully without being surprised at how one level can increase the spice by 1% and then the next somehow jumps it up 50%. I wish there was a way to get a Medium-Hot one, but I'd still rather take the less spicy, more flavor. Anyways, perfectly cooked chicken, fast service and I'd highly recommend!

Overall, I thought it was decent, but personally it didn't really stand out from some of the other hot chicken spots around. The chicken was crispy and juicy, fries were solid, and the heat level had a nice kick without overpowering everything. Good food overall, just not something that personally blew me away. What really stood out though was the customer service. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The restaurant was clean, the food came out quick, and the atmosphere had a fun energy to it. One thing my wife and daughter really enjoyed was the cheese sticks. That cheese pull was actually super satisfying and probably one of the highlights of the meal for us Definitely one of those moments you almost have to record before taking a bite. Would I come back? Probably if I was nearby and craving hot chicken, but for me it was more of a solid casual spot than a must-have destination. Still worth trying at least once if you haven't been before.

I can confirm that the food was just as good as the last time I had it. I arrived a little after 12pm and Jeff Chow helped us.
