    This was my first time dining at this location and I was really happy to see it's located closer to where I live. You can't miss this spot due to its vibrant and eclectic decor, which is also presented throughout the whole restaurant. It's very spacious with a good amount of indoor seating, so finding a table was not an issue. The cashier was friendly, the establishment was clean and the graffiti decor was visually appealing. I noticed that every location seems to take quite a while for the food to come out, so I wasn't surprised about the long wait. I ordered my usual which is the Dave's #3: 1 tender & 1 slider w/ fries (medium) and my husband ordered Dave's #1: 2 tenders w/ fries (medium) and a side of their mac & cheese. Every time we come here, I always ask for extra Dave's sauce and honey on the side. I don't know if they were having an off day at this location, but our chicken was over-cooked. The flavor was good, but it was a bit crispy and dry. On the other hand, the fries were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The mac n cheese was creamy, cheesy, and very tasty. The slider, which has fresh kale slaw and crisp pickles was absolutely delicious, especially when you drizzle the honey on top of it. It's the main reason I keep coming back for more.

    A family member has been dying to try this spot for a while now. Ordered the hot chicken meal with a slider and chicken strip. When I say hot that chicken was so hot I had a ring of fire around my mouth lol. The strawberry lemonade is weak! No flavor at all, it is $3.99 with no refills. If I tried again I would probably get a mild.

    This location is easily accessible right off of rainbow and fairly new. I came into specifically try their Slusher, which is basically their version of a slushy. I did like the icy texture of it, but there was nothing different or special about it. I wouldn't see how this combination with spicy fried chicken sandwich would go well with this icy, but I think that they wanted to expand and give options to people other than the regular fountain soda.

    Dave's hot chicken is really good. Love the decor inside has a fun vibe. Sandwiches are good the bread is nice and soft. I do have to say there vanilla fruity pebble shake is a must for a late night snack when you don't want to drive, door dash delivers.

    This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken, and I had to check out this new location! There was plenty of parking and seating, and the service was fast and genuinely friendly. We ordered two tenders in mild and medium, which came with fries, two slices of bread, pickles, sauce packets, and honey. I was hoping the medium would pack more of a kick. Personally, it wasn't spicy at all for me, but your mileage may vary. The chicken had a perfect crunch without being overly breaded (try it with the honey, it's a great combo), and the fries were impressively crispy. I wish they were seasoned a bit more, but they paired well with the sauce provided. Compared to other spots like Howlin' Ray's, I appreciated that the complimentary bread here was soft, slightly sweet, and complemented the chicken. Overall, a solid first experience, and I'd come back to try the spicier levels next time!

    I love Dave's hot chicken!!! Omg this place is so good! Their chicken strips are massive and fresh! The sandwiches are incredible, paired with some toast & pickles! The ranch is really good which I'm picky about, so I was stoked on that so I could drench my chicken in it. Lol! Their Mac n cheese is really good too. The only hiccup which happened twice was that the website didn't work when I ordered & paid. When I showed up there was no record of my order so I had to reorder and pay in the store. This happened both times I've tried this location, hopefully that gets fixed. The wait can be long because this place is in high demand but that's ok! It's worth the wait!

    Finally got to try Dave's Hot Chicken in the SW! Still remember when this location was a 7-11 off Rainbow by the I-215, but it is redesigned now. There's plenty of parking out front and the inside is a nice open space with multiple tables for dining. We walked in on a weekday and placed order for dinner. There was a short wait for the food, but we got drinks from the soda machine while waiting. They also gave us sauces when the food came hot sauce, ketchup, honey, and Dave's sauce. Made my own drink iced tea and lemonade. Our order was called and the food was hot and fries were crispy. The portion of my chicken on slider in my opinion is small, if you hungry you may need 2 sliders or extra tenders. I liked the pickles and slaw. I couldn't really taste much spice so I adjusted with some hot sauce. Next time I may try the medium/hot. Overall, had a good experience and staff was friendly and I enjoyed my meal!

    Honestly this place was really good. I got a good amount of food for a good price. The quality was really good too, I loved every bite. Fast service, wasn't too busy. Only complaint is that you have to buy a drink separate and it's not part of the meal. Otherwise very worth it.

    This was my first time at this location, and I have to say, this was the best experience I've had at any Dave's Hot Chicken! We were hesitant to go late at night because we always end up disappointed in the half-a$$ food and bad service we receive. But wow, I'm so happy we went! We walked in and were greeted so pleasantly by SHARLEE. She had such an amazing personality and was really helpful. I believe it was the manager we talked to as well who was super nice! The place itself has such a cool vibe and it is very clean inside. As for the food, it was literally some of the best fried chicken I have ever had! It was fresh, crispy, and seasoned perfectly. We got our chicken flavored Hot! Ohhh and the fries were cooked to perfection and had so much seasoning on them ! I couldn't quit eating them. I will 100% be back to this location. Between the delicious food and great service, my expectations were exceeded! Update: We have been back 3 more times and the food still holds up! Can't wait to come back more (:

    The service was good - we got our food quickly and they offered extra sauces. The food was fresh and we loved the medium sauce, while the mild was perfect for my daughter. The space is clean and spacious. We loved admiring the mural while waiting for our food. Only thing that was a bummer was the the soda machine ran out of flavor or something because it tasted like sparkling water.

    It is our new go to restaurant for chicken, especially the newest one that opened up. The staff were courteous, and the restaurant is very clean and tidy. If you haven't tried it, you have to go.

    Great customer service and relatively decent serve time, especially considering the fact that there were several orders prior to mine. Plus I was informed that the food is made to order. The restaurant is new with a very clean dining area with awesome decor throughout and the food was tasty and perfectly made. A definite five out of five.

    We recently tried Cheesling Medley and it was AMAZING! The chicken is dusted in a rich medley of…read moresweet cheeses that makes every bite incredibly flavorful. What really stood out was the slight hint of sweetness mixed with the cheesy seasoning, it just works so well together! They were generously coated with cheese powder, which we loved because it meant every single bite had that delicious flavor. We ordered these boneless and they were breaded and fried to absolute perfection. The texture was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and not greasy at all, which can be hard to achieve with fried chicken. Honey Garlic is another one of our favorites! This flavor is so addicting. The chicken was incredibly juicy and coated in a delicious sweet soy based sauce with just a hint of spice that balances everything perfectly. We ordered this one bone-in and it was cooked perfectly. The flavor combination is sweet, savory, and slightly spicy in the best way. It's definitely a flavor we will continue ordering again and again!! The Spicy Original wings were also done really well. This is more of a classic bone-in wing with a kick of spice. It's a great option if you like your wings simple with some heat rather than a strong flavor. That being said, if you're visiting for the first time, we highly recommend trying some of their other unique and delicious flavors because they truly stand out. Also, don't forget to order the rice and pickled radish on the side! I'm asian and I need rice with my chicken! Haha. The rice pairs perfectly with the chicken, and the pickled radish adds a refreshing, crunchy bite that helps balance the richness of the wings. Another thing worth mentioning is the great customer service. The gentleman working when we dined in on 02/23/26 was extremely kind and welcoming. He took the time to thoroughly explain the entire menu to us and made sure we understood the different flavors and options. He checked on us and ensured our order came out quickly and exactly how it should be. That level of friendliness and attention really made the experience even better.

The chicken was extremely greasy and completely soggy with absolutely no crunch. It both looked and tasted like old oil was used. The kimchi fried rice also did not taste authentic. It had an odd sweet, fish-sauce-like flavor and lacked the bold kimchi taste you would expect. I was really looking forward to finally trying this location, but it was a huge disappointment. This experience did not come close to the quality or standards of the California locations. I would not return based on this visit.

    Very efficient restaurant with great hospitality!…read more I've visited several times now, mostly through the drive thru. But on this last visit, I chose inside. I was blown away at the attentiveness, attention, & friendliness exhibited by not one, but all of the folks working here. You could just tell there was an atmosphere of 'take care of the customers' in this restaurant. I loved the ease of use on the kiosks. It was super easy to navigate and order. Our order is always ready super fast while the food is always also very hot and fresh. My kid especially loves the flavors in their sauce! The inside was super clean as well. Clean restaurant. Great staff. Delicious food delivered quickly. What else can you ask for!! Totally recommend the visit here at this Houston Hot Chicken.

Despite the low price, the chicken was juicy and the seasonings were delicious. The "liftoff" is properly spicy, and there's even a spicy 2 million scoville option if you really like heat. The staff were friendly, helpful in answering questions, and quickly brought the food to the table. The restaurant was surprisingly uncrowded for lunch time. I am definitely planning to come back again. The negative is that they don't seem to offer any traditional bone-in chicken. Not an issue for me, but it could be for some.
