Dave's Hot Chicken definitely hits the spot if you're craving something spicy and crispy. The chicken had a outstanding amount of seasoning, the heat levels were just a tiny bit underwhelming, and everything came out fresh. It's a fun, reliable option when you want that Nashville‑style fix. That said, it didn't quite separate itself from the crowd. The flavors were good, just not memorable enough to push it ahead of other hot chicken spots I've tried. For me, it landed in that "tasty, but not exceptional" zone. Enjoyable to say the least, but not something I'd go out of my way for. read more

We had a good lunch here. The place is easy to find at the corner of a shopping center. There's plenty of parking in the lot outside. Inside, the place is open and airy. You order and pay at the counter. They call your receipt number when your food is ready. Fountain drinks are self serve. My husband got their two tenders combo. It came with large chicken breast tenders in a light batter, seasoned crinkle cut fries, pickle slices, and a small container of Dave's sauce. Oh and a slice of white bread. I ordered their bites -- just the chicken. It's ten pieces of smaller sized chicken breast pieces in the same light batter. They gave me fries anyway. I know it's called Dave's HOT chicken, but we both ordered our chicken without any spice. You can really tell how good a meal is when it's not over done. And the quality and taste of this chicken shone through. They have 6 levels of heat from which to choose. I might try their lite mild or mild next time, but even without any heat, the chicken we had was flavorful. I imagine if you got their extra hot or their reaper level, the white bread slices might be a palate cleanser (a cooler?). Staff were friendly and prices were reasonable. We'd come here again. PS it's a no cash operation. Card or electronic payments only. read more

Gave five stars for good quality food and service. Staff was friendly and explained everything well. The store was clean and had a fun vibe. It's definitely a place to try. If you like these chicken tender joints you have to try these. The combo we had was the #2, two sliders fries and pickles. The "sliders" are huge! They are on burger buns so clearly we shared them. Idk who could eat these themselves. The chicken was surprisingly odd. The quality of the chicken was spot on. However the coating was interesting. I had to watch a video online because I was confused. We got one mild and one extra hot. So the chicken is coated in hot oil and seasoned with powder. (That is where I'm not a fan) The flavor is good, but you taste the seasonings as a 3d kind of item, idk how to explain it. Worth a shot anyway! read more

WOOOOW this place is legit! I didn't think you could get good hot chicken in south Florida til today. I no longer have to wait for my trips to Nashville! They have a colorful graffiti vibe inside, set up to order from a counter and grab when ready. Bunch of people behind the counter working and still learning the in and outs of the day to day operation. However order came quicker than I thought it initially would. I had enough time to wash my hands and google about the company! Did you know the owner Dave is a chef that was trained at French laundry? Once I read that I knew this place would already taste good! I got the slider and tender combo with fries since I was indecisive. The slider is more of a chicken sandwich! The tender is almost as big as my hand. I tried to order extra hot but after the cashier gave me a worried face I stuck with just hot. glad I did! Sandwich has pickles and shockingly a kale and purple cabbage mix on it. It added the flavor and extra crunch beyond the pickles. Seasoning on fries was delish and Dave sauce is a mayo based yumminess. Of course I had to try the lucky charm shake as well. I was enticed by the unique topping choice and had to get it to seal the deal. Thanks Dave's, I'll see you next week for lunch sometime! read more

Came here to see what all the hype was about. The line was fairly long and the people waiting to get their food was even longer! I am not holding that against them! As a new restaurant comes to town I'm glad to see the community out to show its support! My wife got the no spice and I got the medium spice. Both my wife and I thought our food was a bit bland. It was moderately crispy and moderately juicy as well. It's not a bad sandwich but it wasn't over the top either! Maybe they just forgot to add a decent amount of the medium hot sauce because it was far from medium spice level. The restaurant was clean and the service was ok. I would give it another shot at another time .... But the last time was a bit of a miss for me! read more

This location is easily seen from Congress Rd. in Boynton. I stopped in after a little retail therapy in the plaza to get a quick lunch. The restaurant wasn't too busy but does a good take out business. I had planned to eat inside so I ordered at the counter. Though I wish they had more options on the menu, I went with the two tender special that included one side. I went with their Kale Slaw which was very good and it was soothing to my mouth from the Hot level of spice that I ordered for my chicken. I also got a complimentary soda by downloading their app and registering eventhough I didn't need to order from the app. The gentleman, Samuel, who was behind the counter was super helpful and patient with me as this was my first visit. I thought the tenders were very good and not dried out at all. They were fresh cooked and seasoned in a spicy powder with hot oil and light breading. The vibe inside the restaurant was pretty cool from the decorative walls to the metal seating. There is a turf area out front which would be a great place for the little ones to play or for a small soccer pick up game when the weather is much cooler out. I will definitely come back to get some great hot tenders. read more

I've been on a fried chicken sandwich kick lately and this is officially my new go-to spot. Whatever they coat the chicken in is straight from heaven. The only feedback I have is that they should offer ranch. While their sauce is really good, ranch is just a total game changer. We got ours to go so added some at home and it was chefs kiss!! read more

A bright new shiny Fried Chicken spot with plenty of inside and outside seating. I ordered two tender chicken. (white breast meat). That came with fires and pickles. I also ordered a medium fountain soda. A short wait and our food was ready. Great crunchy batter and tender, perfectly cooked chicken! They will do well here offering the food fare they do! read more

I didn't even bother taking a picture of my food cause it was nothing special. It tasted good for sure, I ordered the 4 count mini sliders thinking it would be filling enough, and it really wasn't. Almost $10 for that? I basically had a kids meal. My boyfriend said his was too seasoned and left in the fryer for too long, I thought the opposite mine was just under cooked and needed more seasoning. I really doubt we'll be coming again. read more

Walked in to a big industrial space - concrete floors and graffiti on the walls. There was a line to order with the cashier. I ordered the tenders meal and the sliders meal. Not sure if the difference. Tenders came wrapped in a pice of sliced bread. Sliders were served on a Hamburg roll. Two sliders was too much food for 1 person. You can vary the heat - I got medium which was good. Overall tasty. I also tried a strawberry lemonade which was frozen and nicely sweet and tart at the same time. Seemed expensive but if a combo meal feeds 2 people then rather cheap! read more

Came on a Friday night around 8 pm and there was a decent amount of people inside. Theres plenty of seating as well and the place looks very clean and well kept. We ordered fairly quickly but it took 25 MINUTES for one slider and two chicken tenders!! That was the main reason I took one star off. The workers were very kind and accommodating. The food was great. I loved the slider and my husband liked his chicken tenders. The slider comes with pickles and Cole slaw. The tenders were crispy and fresh. The fries didn't taste too fresh but they were good with their special sauce. I would come again but hope that their workflow improves because waiting 25 minutes for some chicken tenders is absurd lol read more

- I'll admit it. I'm getting as tired of restaurants that "specialize" in chicken tenders as the next guy, but Dave's has some decent word of mouth, and having loved hot chicken last time I was in Nashville, I decided to try it out... - The first thing I noticed was the odd decor. I'm sure it's supposed to mean something to someone but it comes across as wholly unfinished. - Hard red metal chairs reminiscent of nothing so much as 2nd grade story circle, multi colored stepped seating overlooking a patch of artificial turf, and graffiti tagging inspired letting along the walls did not bode well for a comfy late lunch but I pressed on. - The service was great! Fast, friendly, and took the time to explain the menu items, but sadly... though the chicken was plump, meaty, and moist, no amount of friendliness gets you ready for paying $13+ for 2 chicken tenders. I could literally buy a whole rotisserie cooked chicken for less... at more than one place nearby. - I went with 'medium' for my first Dave's experience, but it was barely mild. And covered in a cinnamon sugar coating that doesn't taste bad, but had to time to soak in so it was a gritty dust in the very bite. - Fries were cooked perfectly and seasoned nicely. Pickles were crispy and a nice half sour flavor, but the limp white bread under the chicken had even less flavor than it had eye appeal. This is no Nashville Hot chicken, and whoever Dave is, he's got some splainin to do... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken in Boynton Beach is definitely a great spot to check out if you're craving some delicious meaty Chicken Tenders. They have a variety of heat levels from No Spice all the way to Reaper which you have to agree to a Waiver and Release to order. The house fries are seasoned perfectly and had a nice crisp. I also enjoyed the Coleslaw that is topped on the slider with crunchy pickles. There was a line out the door because this is definitely a hotspot in Boynton. We only waited 15 minutes before we were able to order and our food came out quickly and ready to eat. The restaurant brought back some 90s nostalgia with the bright graffiti walls and there was plenty of seating indoors and outdoors with a nice green lawn. We will be back soon! read more

Tall orders from the table TITAN! **REAPER REVIEW BELOW** For me, Dave's Hot Chicken has been hyped up for over a year. Friends of mine have been saying to try it for a while because they live in Orlando and central Florida seemed to get the locations first. I got excited when I heard they were opening a location this week and today was their soft opening. I will preface with I LOVE spicy food. The spiciest of Thai, Szechuan, and Indian is usually my go to. When I heard they had a "Reaper" sauce that needed a waiver signed to eat it, I knew I had to give it a shot. Ok onto the review and I'll keep it shorter since you've read this far: Interior design and ambiance: 4/5 stars. -the inside is bright and colorful and screams urban chic, trendy, and graffiti. It has outside and inside seating and free refills on soft drinks. The two bathrooms are unisex and clean (even though it is still their first day open). The main downside to the inside is it is very loud and sound bounces everywhere due to the polished concrete floor. (Think cafeteria). Team members and service: 5/5 The team was super nice, read a script after they asked if it was our first time, and was very polite when it came to handing us the order. Food was quality and flavor: 4/5 So we tried multiple items on the menu to give us a good sampling of what they had to offer. First: chicken tenders (their main attraction) They were large and tender, they were juicy and crispy, and fresh. Crispier than canes and closer to the size of Publix tenders. They have a scale of spiciness/heat going from. No spice, lite mild, mild, medium, hot, extra hot, and reaper. I wanted to see how their seasoning was and wanted to try all ends of the spectrum. We ordered: No spice: tasted like a standard chicken tender. It had great size and crispiness and was not dry but not much to offer in the flavor department. Medium spice: this is what I expected to be their flagship. It had good flavor but was not as spicy as a chick fil a spicy chicken sandwich. In hindsight sight. I should have gotten the hot and very hot to try also but at over $5 a tender, it's not as cheap as Cane's to add a tender a la carte. I will be back to try the other two next time. I had this tender on the sandwich with coleslaw (they call it kaleslaw), pickles and Dave's hot chicken sauce and it was tasty. I normally don't like coleslaw, but it was fresh. The pickles were crisp, and the Dave's hot chicken sauce tasted similar to thousand island, which is OK but nothing special. **REAPER**: ok so the moment you've been waiting for. The reaper. Being that I was extremely skeptical about what a fast casual restaurant chain considered spicy enough to make you sign a waiver, I didn't have high hopes. The easiest way to put this is if you have had or heard of the one chip challenge, it tastes just like the seasoning on the chip. One bite, and your senses will be excited, your lips will be numb and burning simultaneously, and your sinuses will clear like free samples at Costco on a Saturday. It is not enjoyable at all but the novelty of it may keep it as a menu item for high school dares for the foreseeable future. Skip this is you want to enjoy very spicy chicken and actually taste it. Ok speed round, Side items: Crinkle fries- great seasoning, crispy, delicious. Mac and cheese- arguably one of the best things they had there. It was seaoned well, moist, and served hot. Perfect. Slice of white bread- standard, soft, what you expect. Hi-C orange lavaburst slush- gosh darn amazing. I was pleasant surprised to see they had this and had to get it while I was there. Milk shakes- machine was down and didn't get to try. Final verdict! I'd give this place a 5 if it was crave worthy and made me want to go back time and time again. It just wasn't that for me. It had a good portion size, the food was hot and fresh, and the place and people were nice. That's reason to give it a four alone. I will give it another shot in the future but as far as fried chicken spots go, I think it's pretty run of the mill. Every bite's a judgement day- and I'm just here serving back justice read more

Soooooo Freaking GOOD! I've had Dave's multiple times. Always soooo Freaking GOOD!! The order is never wrong. Pickup or dine in. Always correct. Crispy, juicy and flavorful. All the chicken comes in different spice levels. I've had Mild, Medium and Hot. I wouldn't go past Hot myself. If you want the best Chicken Sandwich or Chicken Tenders or Chicken Bites. Walk past Cains, Skip past Chik Filet, Jog past Popeye's and Run to Dave's. Just WOW GOOD!!! read more

Every time I order takeout here, my order is messed up. Every. Single. Time. To me, the sauce is the best thing ever and what makes the meal. I love that it comes with a sauce to dip on as well as drizzled on it. Not only was it not drizzled on my chicken I didn't get the sauce cup?! Then the second time I ordered from here I ordered EXTRA sauce on side and paid for it. Not only did I not get sauce it included but didn't get the ones I paid for either. Third time and my finally time at this location - same thing. No sauce on side or the extras I paid for AND not on my sliders. Disappointing. I go to other Dave's locations and it's never an issue. Will only be going to the WPB and Boca locations from here on out. read more

Nice guy at front and I liked the shake so far and I liked how they alowed these people to bring their cute dog inside so far pretty goood waiting for my food now but took a star off for the fact that a drink does not come with a meal ... likeeee Update it's kinda taking a really long time .... - 1 star Update after over an hour- They said sinnce they didn't see me ( I went to the bathroom real quick and grabbed something out of my car) they thought I left and didn't make my food so it kept everything in me from not having a Karen melt down and asking to speak to the manager but by the looks of it the guy at the front doing everything was the manager and he was barely holding everything together himself so I just had to accept it and the medium wasn't that hot I didn't get honey and the food was kinda mid ....

Finally, we don't have to wait until we go to Cali to have Dave's! Usually on opening day of a restaurant things can go awry...not here! The line was long but the food was spectacular and the staff was on point!! They had a system and it really worked. The chicken is high quality and very worth it for the price! There's also a cute outdoor area where it looks like there may be some lawn games in the future. It's a perfect location as there is ample parking. Can't wait to come back! read more

I've only ordered to go via DoorDash. The chicken is so bomb crispy everything that you want in a fried Nashville hot chicken, which is what I'm gonna call it. Let me tell you I handle spice very well. I got the reaper and it knocked me on my ass in the best way possible lol but I couldn't finish the sandwich so if you think that you can handle spice, just know that you probably can't handle this. It's the hottest thing I've ever had in my entire life. But like in a good way. read more

I took the kids because they were excited to try out the infamous Dave's Hot Chicken. Here's the good, the girl at the counter taking the orders was super sweet. I'm honestly blown away at how pricey chicken tenders are. It's not a cheap meal and there's no kids options so you have to order accordingly. The chicken tenders are supposed to be huge, that was true for everyone but my plate which I got 2 small tenders and the kids found it hilarious that the adult got the tiniest ones. I ordered mine medium heat and I didn't taste anything, barely seasoned. My oldest daughter got a sandwich medium and hers actually had flavor so I'm 2 for 2 so far on my plate just missing the mark which shows a lack of consistency. We had two orders of cheese fries and they only gave us regular fries so I had to go back, show my receipt, and get the fries covered in cheese. I will say the cheese fries was the better part of the experience. They have no blue cheese or ranch for the chicken so if you like dipping your spicy chicken in that just note they only have their sauce, hot sauce, or ketchup. They give you a plain piece of wonder bread that to me is just sad on the plate, it's not toasted or buttered or anything just a piece of bread that is sitting there. I do like the pickle slices however that are also on the plate. The kids seemed to enjoy their chicken tenders but I honestly don't think the price is justified for what's recieved even when it looks like the picture but especially when I don't get what was promised which was under seasoned tiny tenders. I gave it a 3 for 3 out of 4 meals being correct and the friendly cashier. read more

The food was soooo good. I got the mini slider meal and it was amazing. Went like 20 minutes before close and still got fresh food. Definitely would go back.

Very expensive for a chicken tender sandwich (sliders). Some would call them chicken hotdogs. The food was just okay, not terrific. The service at the register was good. They take your order, you pay, and then they give you a beeper to let you know when your food is ready to be picked up. The tables needed to be cleaned when we were there. That service needs more attention. The ambiance is trendy but basic. Nice artistic mural on the wall. It's an open room with movable tables and metal chairs. We were expecting it to have more of a restaurant feel as opposed to a fast food joint. We may try eating here in the future but are not feeling rushed to go back. read more

Horrible chicken.. powdered seasoning cooked in old oil which left a bad taste in my mouth. No way would I recommend it!!!

My first time ever trying Dave's Hot Chicken. I've eaten at places very similar to them before but this review is for the food I received not a comparison. As for the ambiance, it's a basic fast food place nothing special but it's was clean. I ordered the 2 slider meal with a mild coating. The fries were great, plenty of them for 1 person in my opinion. The sauce was good and much needed for the chicken which surprisingly did not have much flavor and that includes the breading. I know I only got mild heat but was expecting a little something to it, no zing and barely any flavor which is why I said the sauce was much needed and personally they need to give us bigger sauce cups or just 2 cups at their current size because it is not enough and they know it. The toast was just not good, literally just 2 slices of bread with nothing on them, I would rather take 1 slice or no slices and receive more dipping sauce. As for other reviews complaining about the staff "yelling" out numbers and making it hard to have a conversation when eating in doors, they kinda have to yell out the order numbers because people trying to have conversations are speaking way too loud. Overall for $16 (small tip included) I wasn't impressed which is sad but I will come back and try hotter tenders to see if mild was just bland or if I got unlucky that day. read more

Chicken was decent , pretty well organized for grand opening, very loud screaming children , probably won't go back.

Loved it! We waited a few days after the opening. We got a few of the sliders and a tender meal. When was mild and one was hot and let's just say the hot is definitely hot. The mild was very doable. The fries absolutely love the seasoning on them, and the chicken tenders were amazing read more

Great place the milkshakes are exceptionally good so is the chicken I come here all the time and it's delicious. Five stars I'd recommend.

The food was amazing! The service was even better, Every couple minutes you would see the same boy comming bye and cleaning tables and picking trash off the floor. I can't seem to remember his name but it was a young hispanic man and he would checkup on multiple people while also keeping the place neat and clean. He even brought us some napkins and a to go box. The food was amazing I honestly find it better then the Boca location. The food took some time to come out but the young man in the that was cleaning reassured us that it was being made! read more
