Chicken fingers are usually good and consistent at this location as I have been a few times. Could use a deep clean at this one. Stopped in here last night for a quick bit to eat. Food was great but service was an issue. I usually tip a couple dollars at these type places (not 20%) as the do not bring your food out or pick up your plates. It's a do it yourself type place and that's fine but I'm not going to give you 20% tip for nothing. Our bill was like $41ish. I'm chose the -10% tip option as it would be probably a little over $4 which is fair for really doing nothing service related. Well 10% tip Option equated to $7.15ish tip when I looked at my receipt. I mentioned it to the guy calling order #s and he couldn't bother to give me an answer. Wasn't going to pursue any more because it was only taking an extra $3ish but was quite disappointed and annoyed. Like I was giving you a $4ish tip for basically nothing. The whole experience/interaction left an awful taste in my mouth. Enough where I probably wont be back. read more

Dave's hot chicken was overpriced and just not worth it in my opinion. We came to order the fallout's new promo, and they didn't really have much advertisements on it.So it was a bit awkward to order. The special comes with a little like toy thing to use sauce on it.But they didn't provide the sauce.So it kind of made it irrelevant.So we paid for the over price toy for nothing. The workers were not helpful or as inviting. This is just fast food chicken at a high price.Go to a fast food restaurant instead.Save money because that's the experience you'll get here read more

Great place for a fast yummy meal. The tenders are incredibly juicy, the spice levels are spot-on, and the crispy coating delivers the perfect crunch every single time. The sliders are just as impressive full of flavor, and paired perfectly with their signature sauce. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. read more

Personally, I don't think that this restaurant is all that good. It's just not what I'm looking for, I think they're doing a lot with their seasoning, and the temperature of everything and the texture all comes out right, but if I were to spend my money on a chicken restaurant, I would probably go somewhere else. It's just a little too expensive for what you get and it's not as flavorful as I would want it to be. The service seemed okay, nothing exceptional. They're just teenagers doing their job for the most part. It was nice and clean when I went, but again the biggest issue is the value and I just don't feel like it's there. read more

Extremely disappointing service. We were in the middle of eating our food when the manager walked up and abruptly asked us to leave because they were closing in 15 minutes. Instead of letting us finish our meal, she asked us to stop halfway through, pack up our food, and leave. The lack of hospitality was absolutely pathetic. read more

Excellent customer service and flavorful, crispy chicken (and cauliflower)! We ordered takeout online. The menu is simple consisting of chicken or cauliflower sandwiches and bites accompanied by fries and bread. Spice level is customizable. We chose a variety of spice levels to determine which we preferred. In our opinion, the spice levels were assigned/seasoned appropriately (medium was what we would consider medium, etc). Our order was ready and accurate upon arrival. The best part of this experience was the friendly, enthusiastic employee working the counter. I wish I remembered her name but I was tired and hungry after work and forgot. I appreciated how she brightly greeted me at the counter. She retrieved my order and asked if I wanted any sauce or honey. She provided adequate sauces that accompanied the chicken very well. We did enjoy the food, however, she is a major reason why I'd return to this establishment. read more

First impression = dirty tables everywhere. I asked for the hottest/spiciest wings they had. They had me sign a waiver. The wings were Quite underwhelming, didn't even make me sweat. 2/10 in the heat scale. When I mentioned this to the gal at the counter, she got a bit wide eyed and reiterated how hot and spicy those wings must be. Shook my head. The fact that there was trash on the floors and the difficulty finding a clean table is enough to keep me from coming back. read more

Got the opportunity to visit this place today, i heard about it a few months ago. I got the mini sliders and i will say the portion was very small, my friend got one tender and one slider and that was a big portion, the taste of the food was good the sauce that comes with it tastes good and fries are well seasoned, they have different levels of hotness which is nice. i think is slightly overpriced but that's my personal opinion. Service was good, the place was clean and with plenty of room. I will come back for sure. read more

The food was good always love a good chicken place. The spice levels are good because some people do not like the Hot flavor.

Service was very fast, cheerful and amazing. However, the chicken is heavily breaded and rubbed. Fries came out cold and flimsy. It's just ok. read more

Was met with excellent costumer service from Nate and Chris. Food lovely. experience: 10/10

Parking: plenty of parking since it was in a shopping mall area. Food: chicken tenders and chicken sandwich. Fries were great and seasoning and sauce were really good. Also enjoyed the pickle on the side. They said the medium spice was similar to a chicfila... honesty thought chicfila was spicier. Would have upped it on the spice meter they had the next time we go. Otherwise it was still really good Service: decent service and just took our food to go Ambiance: a small,open restaurant that was pretty clean. read more

I ordered on uber eats and it came surprisingly fast. The order was picked up within 15-20 minutes. I hear a lot about the wait times here so maybe order to-go. It also came perfectly in tact in the box and was still warm. I was really happy with the overall order. I have already tried Dave's in Vegas and was always a fan. The chicken is super thick, juicy, and flavorful and the sliders are so satisfying and big. I always make the mistake of getting 2 sliders when 1 is more than enough. The Daves sauce is also really good with everything, and you can't go wrong whether you go with tenders or slider because both come with bread. As a pickle lover, I love the amount of pickles that come with it. Normally I don't add cheese to chicken sandwiches but here it tastes delicious. The mild has literally no spice at all so don't even worry about any heat. I don't know how much milder it can get since there is a lite mild. I would say medium is a great place to start if you want a little kick. Dave's has great food with great portions and definitely worth the price! Happy to have one here. read more

So it's funny because my cousins in Chicago love this place. Therefore, was very excited to try it when it came to North Carolina. It definitely lived up to the hype. I got the medium sandwich with fries and an oreo milkshake. The sandwich itself was very well seasoned and not too spicy (medium definitely the way to go though I think you can probably go up to hot if you like spice). The sauce is really what makes the sandwich. The milkshake though was the best. Truly a creamy flavorful milkshake and would probably come back just for that (assuming their milkshake machine still works). The staff was very busy but kept things clean. We went very early on when it just opened but the line was out the door so hopefully not as long of a wait now. Plenty of parking in front and the prices were actually pretty good. Overall, definitely would recommend this place. I think depending on when you go you may get lucky with the line (go off peak hours). I will definitely be back next time I am in Holly Springs. read more

I've stopped in for lunch here many times and this chicken is the closest to original Nashville hot style chicken that I've found in the area. It's my go to when I need some really spicy chicken. Tammy took my order and she was incredibly nice and made my day. She also came by later to check on how all my food was. Definitely recommend this place! EDIT to say my only knock is that they randomly have or don't have cauliflower bites. My gf, who is a vegetarian, loved these....but she never knows if she can come to eat with me because they often don't have them available. Since I see the owner reads these reviews, can you say when will they be back for good?? read more

First weeks kind of crazy but that is what to be expected of a new place. The line was extremely long but it moved because the cooking line is on fire and kept everything moving. Mind you it was Friday lunch time, high school is out and holiday season. Got take out of two no.3, Hot and Extra Hot, composed of one slider one chicken tender, fries, and pickles. Hot is delicious and you can still feel your mouth. lol My favorite part of the slider is the kale slaw. I wished it had more. I think I can eat that by a pint. the size of the chicken is amazing, it's huge and also juicy. Normally you get a dry meat but not theirs. I think they use the tenders for their sliders so if you do not want to eat buns, you can enjoy the strips on its own. Either way, they are delicious. There's this hint of flavour that reminds me of Sweet and Spicy/Spicy Doritos. It could just be me but I like it. How about the Extra hot? Well, it was extra alright! I only took a bite but it was as juicy and scrumptious as the Hot but with an extra kick. Overall, I like the chicken. I would order extra slaw next time and I hope they will be consistent with the size of their chicken. The logo is hilarious. Now I know why that chicken has red lips. read more

The service was quick and courteous and they try hard to keep the place looking clean. The were sweeping and wiping down tables as the came available. The place is a little loud because of all the hard flat surfaces but not overly loud. The food has a good taste. I had one plain tender and one medium spiced the plain one had a good flavor but the spicy one seem to have no flavor or heat. The slider that ordered were supposed to be one hot and one medium but they both came out hot. They had good flavor and had a good amount of heat. They lost one star for getting the order wrong even after the cashier double checking the order and they lost another star for price. I'm sorry but 2 chicken tenders with an order of fries and a small drink should not be $16. The fountain drinks are $3. read more

So awesome that they now have a Dave's Hot Chicken here in Holly Springs, NC!! It's right next to Target & Tzatziki's. Definitely arrive earlier than you think as there is a line out the door. Inside the area is open with tall ceilings. There are around 15 tables of various sizes & a side bar area where people can sit. Outside has multiple tables as well. The food is served hot, fresh & does take a bit to get out as they are really busy. I got my chicken medium & it was very tasty, beyond the flavor I was expecting in a great way. I'm not usually a fan of the crinkly fries, but the seasoning on these made them a great addition to the chicken sandwich. The service was friendly & I noticed them keeping the eating area cleaned as well. All customers seemed to be enjoying the areas new food & checking out the groovy decor. I look forward to returning for some more tasty chicken. I imagine this place will be very very busy for the foreseeable future. read more

Finally tries Dave's Hot Chicken.. wasn't worth the wait. Ordered bites and fries. Got the bites but negative on the fries. Also ordered a milkshake but it was overflowing all over the place and barely any Oreo. Lots of better places in the area. My first visit is probably my last. read more

I was excited to see Dave's hot chicken came to Holley springs and had to try it! The chicken was seasoned and cooked very well, but if I were to go back, I'd get a spice level higher, as it wasn't really "hot" chicken to me. Service was good, and the ambience was fun and casual. read more

I went for my second visit. The first visit was okay. Expensive thought. I came again for lunch. Got here at noon with only a few people in the store. I waited for 30 minutes for my 2 tenders. Entirely too long a wait. Once I got my food and the chicken tasted gritty with the fried coating. Barely edible. How do you mess up chicken tenders? Not sure I'll be back. I question if this location will make it. read more

Our cashier Jessica was super sweet and patient! I will definitely be returning! The food was pretty good as well!

Had wanted to try this since we saw the renovations being done a while ago. Finally made it here. It's quick service, order & pick up at the counter. There's ample seating inside & out. When we got there it was pretty busy & a bit noisy. The menu is limited to a couple of items. The standout here is the chicken. I ordered the slider & tender combo. When I hear slider, I think of a small sandwich like one of those dinner rolls that you get at Thanksgiving. What I got wasn't a slider imho...it was a full size sandwich with a "tender" the size of a whole chicken breast. All their tenders were easily, the size of my hand!! You can choose the heat level of your chicken. I chose medium & honestly, it was way too mild for me. I also wished that they had more kale slaw on the sandwich but overall, it was very well made. The tenders were perfectly cooked & still juicy. The fries were very good as well...well flavored and crispy. You had a choice of sauces upon request- Dave's sauce, ketchup & pure honey. What would make it even better is if they had hot (spicy) honey! If you like fried chicken, this is a great option in the area. read more

The menu is basic here, you can choose from one of four combos with your level of heat. I ordered the Dave's #4 (1 slider with fries) with mild heat and my mom ordered the same combo but with medium heat and mac & cheese as her side and a strawberry milkshake. I thought that it was cooked well and that the portion was good but it's a basic chicken sandwich. I miss Mason Jar in this space. read more

I waited a while to check out Dave's mostly due to the comments about it being expensive for what you get and to let the dust settle after opening. I have a healthy appetite and had way too much food with the 2 slider combo. We ate half and air fried the leftovers the next day. So good. The chicken was extremely tasty and was not greasy at all. I had 1 hot and 1 extra hot and thought the flavor and spice on both were delightful. My husband had the exact same order and loved it too. I do not agree with those that claimed it was too expensive. I feel the quality and quantity of the food is totally worth the price. We have been back a few times and everything has been consistent. *we order on the app and pick up in store - easy peasy! read more

This spot just opened a week ago and I can taste what the hype is about. The range of heat is from " no spice to reaper" I played it safe with medium heat. The fries are super crunchy but the star of the show is the tender juicy and crunchy piece of chicken . I tried the Dave's sauce, but honestly the chicken is seasoned so well that you don't need it. The side of honey adds a nice touch . This place is a must try. Service is a wait, because they are cooking it fresh to order. Ambiance is crowded and I don't expect it to die down due to popularity. read more

Somewhat of a let down when considering the hype, wait, and pricing. The wait to order was around 30min but then only about 5min to get food. There was a noticeable imbalance with only one cashier and the other register not being utilized. The only troubling observation from the kitchen was seeing a cook eating on the line. The chicken was relatively decent quality with some tougher bites and dry overall. The seasoning on the tender was really good and the hot level added some great heat. I definitely recommend the tender vs the slider unless you add sauce to the slider. The sauce complimented the chicken okay but seemed too similar to hibachi shrimp sauce. The seasoning does make me want to go back but for the price, I hope they are able to get a better handle on the timing and operation. read more

Absolutely amazing new spot and super excited for this to be added to the area. The food was all incredibly flavorful, well put together, and fresh. There's a spice level for everybody, including the reaper that requires you sign a waiver down to no spice at all. The interior was decorated fantastically and created a fun, inviting environment with plenty of seating available both inside and in their patio are. Prices are also quite reasonable The service was incredibly friendly, and once the order was placed there was a a reasonable wait but likely due to just the rush. It seems they are still working out some kinks in the system of how to optimize their speed especially given the hype in these early days. The line wrapped around the store, and while I saw plenty of workers in the back preparing orders, there was only one taking orders, and that same one was also making the shakes, leading to nearly 45 minutes for me to place my order but only 10-15 for me to then walk out with my food. Hopefully they work their system out Added bonus is that they are halal Would definitely recommend, and will definitely be returning read more

It's always exciting to hear that we're getting new dining options in Holly Springs, especially when they're not massive chains. That said, Dave's Hot Chicken IS a chain but the majority of their locations are in Cali where they started. Speaking of which, you should read their backstory. 2 kids started this business with $900. My son and I visited the new HS location on a Friday night. There was a line out the door but I have to say it moved fairly quickly. We waited about 15-20 mins. The inside was colorful and there were about 20 tables if you prefer to dine in (which we did). I was surprised how smoothly the ordering process was given how new they were. The menu is very simple - chicken tenders and/or sliders, fries, and a few shakes/sides. Literally just 5 options - combos with fries and a drink. On the pricier side but given the portion sizes, I suppose it's justified. I ordered the #2 (2 sliders) with cheese fries. While the menu was limited their flavor profiles were not - including Reaper, Extra Hot, Hot, Medium, Mild, Light Mild, and No Sauce. I got the mild and it was as spicy as I expected. The chicken was crispy and tender but not so juicy that I was worried it wasn't cooked enough (IFKYK!). The bun was soft and squishy and I LOVED the kale slaw. Super crunchy and with the pickles offered a well balanced fried to acid ratio. The seasoned fries were just okay, (I like mine crispier) but skip the cheese sauce. I wish they didn't have the seasoning as it was overwhelming with all the sauces and seasoned chicken. The sliders were enormous. I could barely finish one. I took the second home and reheated it for lunch the next day. Still tasty. My son ordered the tenders combo and the tenders seemed average to large size but he was able to finish the whole thing. It came with a slice of white bread which I found odd but he loved it! I would also skip the Mac and cheese. Both my son and I thought it tasted off but couldn't pinpoint why. Service was good for a busy Friday night and being new and I like that they have some outdoor seating for when it's warmer. read more

I love Nashville style Spicy Chicken and I have been planning on checking out Dave's for some time. Well I got an email offer for a free chicken slider i celebration of Drake's (?) birthday So what better time to go !! We waited in line for about 30 min. I got the Slider with Hot level heat, an order of Cheese Fries and a Coke. Service was excellent and efficient. Place was clean. Now the chicken. This is not a slider, it is a chicken sandwich, like Popeye's or Chick fil A, but so much more. The coating was crispy and the inside meat was mouthwateringly delicious. This is a better cutlet than both of the aforementioned the hot coating was just the right level of heat for me. Hot to the point that it enhances the flavor , but not so much that I focus on getting thru it. This was a delicious spicy chicken sandwich. The pickles are worth a mention. Thick and snappy. Real good, not the thin soggy kind you typically get. The added Dave's Sauce was a winner. Definitely my new go to chicken sandwich. read more

We went to Dave's Hot Chicken which just opened yesterday in Holly Springs. It's in the former Mason Jar Tavern location. There is ample parking and an outdoor patio with tables. Hopefully they put some patio heaters outside as it would help with more seating when it's chilly outside. It was very busy naturally. The line was out of the door and around to the patio area. It took one hour from the end of the line to placing our order. There was 1 register taking orders. The staff were all very friendly & they got the whole restaurant singing Happy Birthday to two customers. Finding a table wasn't too difficult. Once we were in the door while waiting in line, one member of our party grabbed a table. We ordered a number one, two number 2 and a number 3 and 1 soft drink. We had 2 mild, 1 lite mild, and one no spice. It took about 15 minutes for the food. The food came out correctly and hot. The crinkle fries were seasoned. The mild was mild for us, so 2 of us will do medium next time. The chicken had a nice crispy coating, and they were quite large. The kale slaw on the sliders gave it a nice crunch. The pickles were nice and crunchy, too. The total cost for our 4 meals and 1 soft drink was $65. In my opinion, it's a bit pricey, but everything seems to be now. We'll probably return and share more as the meals were filling. read more

The place was very busy. We went in on a Friday at lunchtime. The line was moving fast for orders, and the food didn't take long. The people taking our orders were very nice and helped us order the best for the experience. The person calling the number tickets did mix up our orders, but it was ok be we noticed at the table. I got the medium spice level, and I could have gone hotter. It had a sweet after taste and was not hot enough for me. The Mac was normal Mac. Noting to scream about. The fries were good, and the cheese sauce with it is amazing. The tenders were huge! The sauce on the sliders was really good and tasted similar to other sauces out there. The Cole slaw on the sliders was good, and I hate Cole slaw. The milkshake was so good! We only had vanilla, but my son ate 90% of it. They even have m&m and oreo add-ins, which I will be getting next time!!! The place was clean, open, natural lighting, and plenty of seating. They did a great job with the remodel. Music was playing and it wasn't too loud. Great place for dine in or carry out. read more
