Food: The chicken was fresh and cooked well. Even when ordering the no-spice option, it could use a bit more seasoning — a touch of salt would really elevate the flavor. The pickles were my favorite! One small suggestion: lightly toasting the bread (similar to how Cluck Chicken does it) could add a nice texture and extra flavor. Service: Service was good overall. The tipping process feels a little awkward since there isn’t table service involved. Paying staff a higher base wage might help avoid that uncomfortable tipping dynamic. When I received my order, it also looked like the food had been placed into the to-go box a bit hastily.

This place’s menu was pulled straight out of my dreams. Spicy smothered fries with chicken and pickles, that are somehow not soggy, is something that I could eat every day of my life until I die. You can taste the homemade spice combo they use because it definitely doesn’t taste like something that was pulled out of a freezer. Great thanks guys now I’m gonna be broke all the time eating here 😅😂

Beyond beautifully seasoned, mouth watering juicy and ridiculously large sized chicken! Add the great sauce, classic crinkle cut fries and awesome Homemade pickles… winner, winner, chicken dinner. There is no comparison when it comes to Dave’s Hot Chicken!

Food was amazing and tasty. Love going to Dave’s hot chicken! But I importantly want to recognize the staff at this location. I had met with family for a birthday lunch and the staff was very welcoming and accommodating while we were there. Helped us with some supplies we forgot, cleaned a drink spill we made, and helped us take some photos. The little things add up and this location was great. 11/10 recommend this location. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
