Pro tip: Always ask for the extra side of sauce just to make sure you don't run out!
Jennifer P.

I have been a fan of Dave's Hot Chicken since the very beginning, back in East Hollywood (yes, that means I'm no spring chicken), so I was excited to visit this location now that I live in Texas. Everything was just as good as I remembered, and the best part is that there's a drive-thru here! I went with medium since it's been a minute. The chicken is spicy, but I could have leveled up for sure. I'll be back to move up to hot and extra hot again soon! I like both fries and the slaw, so I added some slaw to the meal. I don't know if it's the best hot chicken out there, but it brings back so many memories for me that it's definitely top tier in my mind!

Single slider (hot) with perfectly cooked spiced fries.

Doing some Christmas shopping and was hungry. Went to the drive through and there were only a couple cars ahead of me. The line moved quickly, gave my order (#4, hot with a coke) order was ready really fast and I was in and out in a flash. I ate in the car while waiting for my family to finish shopping. Everything tasted fantastic! Nice and hot, fried were crisp as were the pickles. The heat level was nice and spicy! The only negative is that they forgot to give me any napkins! Man... I had to use a dirty napkin I had previously used and my sleeve... the Hot level really got my snot locker flowing!!

Now this is how you manage a CROWD and serve HALAL!!!! This was my first time coming here and I used the free slider promo. I got the lite mild slider. I ordered fries and a drink. The first thing I noticed when coming to this location was the amazing crowd control. Someone was at the door greeting us and letting us know where there was room to step inside. The employees were curious and didn't get frustrated with so many people. Crowd control is a big deal to me when dining out. Even with the crowd, cleaniness was maintained. My sandwich was lite mild and I enjoyed it. There was no spice that I can taste, so next time I will get something hotter. The chicken was cooked really well and the portion size was great! All of the ingredients were perfect on the sandwich. I will definitely be back . The promo was a good idea.. I had a good experience. The chicken is also halal

My son and I dined at Dave's on Saturday afternoon and honestly I'm not so astute on the "Hot Chicken" concept and really haven't even tried other local offerings, but I do know fried chicken so here's my perspective. It's important to note that customer service was excellent and employees have a sense of urgency and seem to really care, so that alone is commendable and refreshing to see. I'll always prefer bone-in chicken breast or thighs if available on the menu but fried breaded breast tenders are only good to me if served immediately out of the fryers and especially if they are dipped in a sauce. It just seems that once you dip or pour sauce on boneless chicken breast fillets of tenders that the crust loses texture and the chicken is no different than Applebee's or Chili's boneless wings after a minute or so that's not worth $14.99 for this chicken sandwich and fries. That's being said the Dave's Hot Chicken Sandwich was okay Saturday being it likely say in the window for a few minutes or more before my buzzer sounded off. I think it dressed well with the pickles and kale slaw and it has the potential to be really good if all the components were outstanding like with a fresh well toasted bun that could hold up to the kale slaw for a few minutes until served along with the chicken bring hot out of the fryer before being sauced and immediately assembled and served. Out of the two chicken sandwiches, I consider the best I'd say that Dave's Hot Chicken is good but a distant third. My first choice and all time favorite is the Spicy Bird and The Big Bird at Roots Chicken Shak at the Mueller HEB Main Street Food Court on East 51st in Austin , hands down for the fried chicken thigh, kale slaw, dressing, pickles and the most wonderful and appropriate bun. The Spicy Bird $8.95 and Duck Fat Fries $3.95 is served hot and is always 5 Stars so well worth the price and you can enjoy it in the HEB beer garden with your favorite hard or soft beverage from the bar. Great customer service too! My second favorite is the iconic Popeye's in Austin that is managed top notch and is the best for cleanliness, freshly prepared quality food, and great customer service! Dave's Hot Chicken in Georgetown is good and I'm glad I didn't have to wait in line to order, but I think converting the Carl's Jr maybe is a different flow in Kitchen and affects the service tempo. It's a new restaurant with new employees still be trained by corporate trainers so we'll be back in a few weeks to try again!

Cauli Daves #1 2 Cauli Tenders with Cheese Fries
Patti R.

I gave this another try because I was curious about the cauliflower options. I really cannot understand the craze over this chain. It just does not hit the mark. The seasoning again had an unpleasant almost burnt flavor to it, and there was no distinction between the heat levels that I could tell. I tried both a medium and a hot and didn't feel like the hot served up the heat that it probably should have. The cauliflower tenders were not the full or even half steak that appears represented on the website. You may get a 1/4 piece, so they're pretty small. Because Dave's sauce is basically orange mayo, I asked them to give me ranch instead, and they couldn't even follow those directions. The saving grace again were the cheese fries, but a little skimpy on the cheese this time. This single meal was $32! This was before delivery and tip. I cannot believe I just spent that amount of money.

Beware !!! The Reaper is gut wrenching hot !!! I had to sign a waiver to order it !!!
James W.

I've had Dave's Hot Chicken in Houston and in Waco, was glad to have one now in Georgetown. I ordered the medium, just a hint of kick, and cheese fries. Also ordered a reaper to take home and eat. OMG, it's friggin gut wrenching spicy, great flavor but holy crap !!! I could only eat about a quarter of it and I love spicy. I'll finish it off, but not all at once !!! I actually had to sign a waiver just to order it !!!

The Meal
John M.

This place is Good....really good...Service was fantastic, place is really cool looking with a great paint scheme throughout. Everything about the food was just about perfect....Problem is the Price....A meal should include a drink...it doesn't....Online prices were way lower then what we paid...Huge problem that need to be addressed right away...Everything from the meals, drinks, extra sides were not priced right....cost us an extra $8-10 dollars....and Im so Sorry....Im not tipping at a fast food joint....this is Total self serve joint...Its the first screen that pops up before you can even pay....As much as we enjoyed the actual meal...I Can't see coming back @$48 for lunch...When I can get just as good or better with a true dine-in experience.

2 piece

This is overhyped. The meal I got cost $16....you get two tenders (heat of your choice) a little boat of fries, two pieces of bread that are plane as heck and like...4 slices of pickles lol. I don't even know if a drink k came with it. They never mentioned it and I wasn't added a priced drink to a meal. Weird. Customer service was really good, but the drive thru took about 30 min. They just opened. But anyway, you can go to Raising Canes and get 4 tenders, actual toast and more fries for $11 with a drink. These tenders weren't bad, I got MED heat and there was no heat at all. The sauce tastes like a cheese based sauce. This place is just plain and overpriced. Remember, MED heat is truly no heat. Now the tender ARE bigger than average, but still. Plain Janes. Not enough for your buck.

I definitely bought too much and had zero regrets. Lunch was unforgettable. The jacked-up club sandwich with deli-carved meat was incredible and huge, easily enough for two people to share. The honey latte was such a treat, perfectly balanced and comforting. What truly made the experience stand out was the people and the purpose. The wonderful woman who took my order was learning the POS system and is a participant in their training program. She was kind, capable, and welcoming, and it was clear she was being supported, not rushed. It felt good to be part of that moment. We also popped next door to Sunflower Hill and purchased the most beautiful handmade items: a wind chime, a soap dish, and a candle. Each piece came with the story of the person who crafted it, which made them feel like true treasures, not just purchases. This company is doing something really special: making a genuine difference in people's lives while offering an outstanding product and experience. It was an unforgettable lunch, filled with heart, intention, and joy....and we will absolutely be back.

When you go in, find a seat and grab a menu, then order at the register. Your food will be delivered to your table. A friend and I recently had a long weekday lunch, with both of us having sandwiches. Sandwiches came with a choice of sides. I had a chicken salad sandwich, which was served on a croissant, and a cup of broccoli cheese soup. The chicken salad was wonderful, but the croissant was dry. The soup was very good. My friend had a grilled cheese sandwich and a salad. Her sandwich was loaded with cheese. The baked goods at the counter looked scrumptious, but we did not partake. I would definitely return for the food, but also because the profits go to a good cause.

Upon entering the restaurant, it is very comfortable and feels like a nice place to be. Upon looking at their signage, they have live music! I will definitely be back for that. Upon looking at the menu, they have many yummy dishes to choose from. However, I have extreme food restrictions, and I did not see anything that I could eat because I am dairy free, processed sugar-free and gluten-free. I shared this information with my server (i'm pretty sure her name was Haley). She said, "let me go talk to the chef," and off she went! :) She came back and recommended "caprice chicken over veggies" which they would customize to my dietary restrictions. Wow, that was over and above and so comforting! She said that the caprice chicken over veggies dish came with a salad and she checked -and all of the salad dressing had sugar in it, so I told her to bring it to me plain with a little bit of vinegar on the side and she came back with a salad with dressing on it and she said that they found some apple cider vinegar they put on top and would that be OK... OK? It was perfect! I loved that she listened to me and she knew that was within my diet restrictions! Haley is a fabulous server. I told Haley that she was so good that I'm going to ask for her to be my server every time. I feel so blessed to find someplace that I can eat comfortably and be so satisfied! Did I mention they have Italian wine!?! Oh so good! My lunch was amazingly good, can't wait to get it again, the wine was really good The atmosphere was so pleasant and everyone there seem to be having a good time The service was exceptional! I highly recommend you visit!

They also have ready-made salads and wraps. They have beverages such as topo Chico. They sell Siete chips. They have an adjoining room with a sitting area and a bar where they serve beer and wine. They also have some seats in front, outside, so bring your dog! Upon entering, we were greeted promptly and treated well by our server and sandwich maker, Vanessa. Vanessa was very informative and very helpful in helping us decide what we wanted & telling us about their products. We ordered two sandwiches, a smoothie, a juice and a six dollar bag of chips and our bill was $76. That's a lot of money for two sandwiches, a smoothie, 1 juice and a bag of chips. We could've gone to some fine dining restaurant for $76. The juice was exceptional, my son liked his smoothie. The sandwiches were good. They weren't amazing, but they were good. They were very overpriced! So as for atmosphere and customer service this is an exceptional place to be. I just wish the prices were lower because if they were, I'd come here every day! I will be back for juice, but I can safely say I will never be taking anyone here for lunch. Not at these prices. Oh, they also have a rewards program. For my $76 purchase I have $7.60 rewards to spend. I do like rewards.

Eight people were in the shop a the same time and it took a while to get everyone's orders and to ring them up. He took all the busyness in stride and did not let the crowd effect his process. It appeared to a spellbound environment for customers. Everyone got served and appeared happy. Also, the server acted as though this was standard fare for him. All in all...everyone seemed happy.
