    First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and it was super delicious! We went as a fam (8 of us) around 8:30 PM and ended up staying for about two hours just eating, chatting, and chilling. It was graduation night in Folsom, so by the time we left around 10:30 PM all these student groups kept coming in which actually gave the place a really nice relaxing vibe. Bring a jacket though because it was hella cold inside and they said they can't control the AC lol. Still a great hangout and the food was totally worth it!

    Dave's Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich (Medium)
    Josiah H.

    Had Dave's Hot chicken to go, and ordered the two crispy chicken sandwich meals (level medium and hot) deconstructed. So I had the spread in the packets and the pickles and cold slow in their own containers. So as to not have my sandwiches mad soggy by the time I got home. With the spicy levels chosen, medium tasted more like mild to me. And I didn't even realize it had any heat to it. Hot definitely was a level up, and I could taste the spiciness which was good, but I don't know if I'd call it "hot". And that's not to shade the levels, they just may for go on the side of caution. Overall: Good "Nashville hot" style chicken sandwich, and tasted as expected. If you shy away from heat, go with mild or try medium. If run towards the heat, go for the hot or above.

    Slider and Dave's #3: 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries

    C'mon Dave's- This chicken tender is weak. Customers, be sure to check your to-go boxes, because I don't think they'd pawn off this poor excuse for a tendy to someone sitting inside. Not much slaw for the slider, either.. Great service and good attitude, but this cost me $15 w/o a drink.

    Dave's #1 1/2 No Spice~ We thought it was nice and tender and flavorful!

    We have been wanting to try Dave's for awhile and finally stopped in for lunch Saturday. As soon as we got a whiff of their amazing smelling chicken outside, we knew immediately we had to stop in! To drink hubby and I ended up sharing the Frozen Minute Maid Strawberry Lemonade and thought it was very sweet and delicious! For lunch I ordered the Regular Top Loaded Lite Mild Fries and hubby and baby ordered the Dave's Bites with No Spice and Dave's #1 with 1/2 No Spice and 1/2 Medium. We thought the chicken was nice and tender and flavorful, decent fries too! I ended up swapping some of my lite mild for hubby and baby's no spice, since I didn't care for the seasoning. He said it may have been over seasoned? This location is located in Folsom and features lots of fun, bright murals, including graffiti I love and staff were very friendly! We'll be back try more new menu items and their shakes! SYOY! :-) *Song Credit: Selfish Rmx by Jeff Kaale

    OMG...got the chicken bites (mild) and it's so good! Crunchy, savory with a slight sweet and then spicy...hot dang, I could get in trouble if I lived near this spot! Haha. Definitely recommend and get extra Dave's sauce on the side! Plus if you dine in - they have ample seating and cool wall art! @Brett G - Thanks for reaching out! Would love to connect and do more but I couldnt get that URL/link to work (got an error message). Please let me know of there is a revised link to try. Thx!

    My kids have been in a hot chicken spree so we came to Dave's for the first time. Everything about this place checks off all the boxes when it comes to Nashville hot chicken. From the chicken to the decor, the vibe is there for sure! Service was great, offered extra sauce when you grab your food. That's uncommon these days, and I'm glad they did cause that sauce is fuego! The tenders are on point. Seasoned to perfection, crispy, juicy, and hot! The house made pickles is like a cherry on top, very well done. I wished they'd offer them deep fried! So I hope the owner sees this review and gives it a try! The milk shakes are legit, we had the Oreo. A lot more things to try here so we'll be back! Overall 4 star, everything met expectations, nothing that gave me a wow factor. I am a customer now, it's just not my favorite hot chicken spot, yet.

    The food is soooooo bomb. The inside is super clean and you're going to be amazed by the graffiti. Bathrooms are very clean too! And the service is super fast, and give the best recommendations in regards to spice flavor. It's our go to spot for a quick, delicious meal. And surprisingly very cheap!

    Hot Hot Box - Dave's Bites 40 pcs
    Rich R.

    The inside of the place is spacious for a chicken shop. Ordering was easy either at the self service or at the register. I got the 40 pieces Dave's hotbox with half no spice and half mildly spiced. It comes with 4 pieces of white slice bread, mayo sauce and sliced pickles. The chicken pieces were juicy, crispy and delicious. The coating on the mildly spiced was a tad bit salty. The sweet and savory mayo sauce helped bring the flavor together.

    Sandwich my daughter order.
    Letitia M.

    Chicken was very fresh and hot. Pieces were absolutely huge!! We were not expecting the pieces to be so big. It's a dry rub they put on with different levels of spice. I give four stars because they did not have a kids meal. The staff was very nice. Food came out in a timely manner. The store was clean. Bathroom how ever was not clean.

    Chicken sandwich with two tenders and fries
    Mark W.

    This must be one of the best so far for chicken sandwich. I just got a mild flavor and it was beyond tasteful. Great pricing for chicken sandwich and two tenders with fries. Cannot beat this pricing. Service is good and will be back when I am in the area.

    Is it spicy?

    Horribly spicy. Not in a good way. Thick cayenne and paprika on it. Just gross. 🤮

    I don't live in Folsom but work in the same plaza only one day of a week - so I love coming here…read morefor lunch or dinner as a treat! The chicken is absolutely delicious and the team is incredibly kind & will remember you or your favorite order. I want to be more brave and try out their other / new items but for now it's always the crispy with yangnyeom & xtra hot sauce on the side! I also love their lunch specials ($13.99+), it's hefty and a much better value than getting the usual fast food in my honest opinion... I hope to keep coming here whenever I can because I'm always craving their chicken, they're nice people, my time constraints and their quickness, and value! (PS I would I avoid Doordash because of the hidden fees and use Clover or calling in the order) I've never dined in before but it seems like a great spot to bring your friends or loved ones, there are nice booths, a cold water station, and it's a cute place! I would pick Ttobongee over KFC, Church's, or Popeyes any day... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    First time ordering delivery from this restaurant. We got the original fried chicken, seafood soup…read moreand the beef ribs plate. They were all good! The original fried chicken was the best, cooked very well. It all came with side of pickled daikon, kimchi and japchae. I have to try the other dishes when I dine in next time.
