    Daves #4: 1 Tender w/ Fries 9.99
    Ivan K.

    Although there have been a few establishments that have come and gone, we are always curious and excited about what this unit will bring next, and Daves Hot Chicken does not disappoint. While we have mostly ordered through the drive-thru, this last time we dined in. Service is friendly and the food comes out decently fast for chicken. The chicken is always juicy and we love their sauce. If you are into the heat, Dave's has all the spicy you can handle. If you are in the Mo City area and you want an alternative to your regular burgers, definitely come on by!

    This was my first time visiting this restaurant and I can honestly say that Dave's is overrated. The food was good but it tastes like every other chicken place just with a little more kick. The service was ok it took about 10 minutes to get our food. The cashier read us back our order 4 times. There was no ambiance because we drove thru drive thru.

    The food is delightful, hot and fresh. Had the bites and fries. The Associate was super nice and friendly. The ambiance reminds me of Austin. The music is vibish and laid back

    Dave's Hot Chicken is one of the OGs when it comes to hot chicken. I've been on a hot chicken kick so I decided to finally check Dave's out and compare it to my faves. I do it for the people! This is the closest location to me and easy to get to. We came for a late lunch and it wasn't busy at all. Customer service was great. I even got a free drink (or shake) when checking in! My only complaint was how long it took to get the food. I came for the hot chicken so I got it in it's purest form, I got the tenders basket. It comes with two tenders, fries, pickles, white bread, and their signature Dave's sauce. The tenders were massive and with all the sides, it was filling enough for me. The long wait translated into hot, fresh food. The tenders were crispy, yet juicy inside. The chicken was seasoned great throughout. Not like some of these places that only season the breading. I got the hot level and it packed great flavor and heat. There was a slight hint of sweetness that I was not mad at all. This level had me sweating slightly, but was very enjoyable. I might go up next time out of curiosity. The fries were my favorite crinkle fries and they seasoned these well too. I washed it all down with some peach tea. This place was great and is definitely up there for one of the better hot chickens in the area. Their menu is small, but they do it right. I will be back!

    I've tried Dave's hot chicken several times in San Diego. I happen to be in Sugarland visiting with a friend so when I saw this location without a long line of figured it be worth to give it a shot. Food: the food was absolutely amazing and really good. You can tell it was cooked right when you ordered as it was very fresh. The medium sauce is probably the way to go. Last time before this visit when I was in San Diego think I got hot and extra hot and it was absolutely too hot. So with all that being said medium is very enjoyable and very tasty as well. The fries are pretty good too. Value: two sandwiches with fries around $15. I think that's a bit overpriced. This meal should be around $10-$12 max. Or if they're going to charge $15 it should at least come with a drink. However they still get five stars as the food was absolutely amazing! I will definitely come back and try more of their locations in the houston area.

    Sooo tasty. The seasoning was on point. Perfectly fried and seasoned. You can choose from different levels of hotness, or none. I wanted it again the next day Yummo!!!

    I am so glad this business is here. I've seen many restaurants come and go in this spot, but I hope this one stays. First of all, I like the simplicity of the menu. There's not too many options so the customers in front of you won't take ever to place their order. We have always been greeted by a staff member and the staff has always had a great attitude. If we dine in, someone always comes over to see if we are enjoying our order. The restaurant is very clean, there's always an employee cleaning tables after guests. We typically order Dave's #2 - one slider will be hot and the other mild. The crisp is to perfection, nicely seasoned and it's consistent each time. It also comes with a side of fries, which are always fresh and never stale or soggy. They provide ketchup, honey, and their signature sauce. That sauce is great with the sandwich, tenders, and fries! Price - $14 - $16 per meal but it doesn't come with a drink. You'll need to order it separately so overall it makes your meal about $16 - $18, a little on the pricier side for fast food.

    Not bad at all but it looks like food that I can make at home. The taste is okay and the hot level is not as hot as I would have gotten it. Customer service is decent but service is interesting. I saw one lady scratching her nose the people do not have on masks and I don't know... I can't say that I'm going to visit here again. It's actually my fault. I thought this was the wings place that we had at our Yelp event. Lee James hot wings. Turns out.. it's not.

    Waiting in drive through

    The service was horrible I was stuck in a drive the for over 30 mins just trying to place an order before 10:00pm. When I arrived to the window to place my order they just told me to pull forward .

The location is always clean, but the food is inconsistent. so far every time I've ordered online my order has either been wrong or a complete sloppy mess. I've had to have them remake it each time. When I've ordered in person, because you're standing over them giving them directions, it typically comes out just right. One of the times I came in they had a giant pile of completely burnt bacon. I asked if this was the bacon they were gonna put on my sandwich. They said yes...I said I'm gonna need new bacon lol. They had no problem making it fresh and didn't have an attitude, but the fact that they had that giant pile of burnt bacon that was going on the next 50+ sandwiches says a lot. The food is still good so I continue to come, but whether your food comes out how you expect it is a 50-50 chance. Make sure to sign up for shore points and get free subs.

It was one of those first-bite moments where you just stop and look at your food like... wait. What is this magic? The bread was perfect, soft on the inside with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. The sauce was incredible, flavorful without overpowering everything else. And somehow they made the carrots taste amazing. Carrots! I don't know what they're doing back there, but it works. I paired it with a Vietnamese coffee and that sealed the deal. Rich, bold, slightly sweet, exactly what you want. Instantly, this became one of my favorite restaurants in the Houston area. I was so excited about it that I brought my kids back that weekend, only to realize they weren't open. Total heartbreak. So definitely check the hours before you make the drive, especially if you're not close to Stafford. I think I might be in love with a restaurant. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

It was hopping on a Saturday night, as they have a few other businesses in the same parking lot. Finding a spot was easy for me, but that's because I was lucky. The lot was packed and I just happened to be in the right spot at the right time. I'll take the win. Walking in the restaurant has outdoor seating, and indoor. A pretty good line when we walked in leading up to the door, but it went quickly. About half of the tables on the interior in use, but it was very easy to find a place to sit. Outdoor was about maybe 1/4 capacity. They have a pretty interesting menu, it definitely fits along the gastropub line. I was very tempted to do tacos and burgers but our goal was burgers and I stuck to it. I had the Brie and candied bacon burger. Was it messy? Yes, yes it was. Was it phenomenal? Yes, yes it was. With candied jalapeno, candied bacon, arugula and a fire vinaigrette, this was my favorite burger. The jalapeno was flavored but not spicy. For those who are adverse to heat. The vinaigrette really sets off this burger, on top of the medly of flavors. Cooked to juicy perfection, would 100% get this again. The gal went with the California Burger. Also an excellent choice, but I liked mine more. This one serves up sliced avocado, bacon, tomato, arugula, Swiss, and again, a house vinaigrette. Whoever thought let's make a burger more wet, you were right. That's why we have napkins. Both the truffle fries, and the onion rings sounded good. So we ended up just getting both. The truffle fries had fantastic flavor but it felt like we had the bottom of the bag. All of the fries were very tiny. It's like when you go out for fast food, and it's all the tiny broken pieces at the bottom of your fries. They also come with a nice dipping sauce. Highly recommend. The onion rings were fantastic, I really enjoy how they are battered. I served by themselves, they are delightful. The staff were excellent! They continued to check on everybody and make sure that they had everything they needed, they were busing tables left and right. Very proactive in keeping the place clean and getting seating turned around for the next customer pretty quick. We will definitely be coming back to try more items on their menu. They also have what appears to be an upscale joint next door of the same name with wine. That will also be a place that we'd like to check out in the future. Is it a drive, yes. Is good food and good experience worth the time and effort to get there, it absolutely is. Check them out. See what you think!

Somehow, I get a less than what's posted sandwich after opening up the wrapper at home, sometimes. I know staff ask what customers want on their sandwiches, but it should always come as posted on the menu unless otherwise stated. However, I do appreciate the complimentary toppings I can choose from to make it even more hearty. My go-tos have been their Prime Rib Steak toasty sandwich, the Pizza Melt, Mama's Meatball, and the Cubano.
