Meh. The food was hot and I mean HOT! We waiting 10 minutes past the estimated pick-up time, though the guy was nice. I had placed an online order and it still somehow got messed up: there should have been 2 X-meals, so we expected a silver package (toy?) but got none. One meal was supposed to be a 10 piece, but both came as sliders. The sauces for our trio were not correct, though the online ordering is simply click boxes. Overall, decent flavor, and as the name suggests, it is HOT. I wouldnt say "ready" nor "correct". read more

Meh. Just okay to me and nothing to rave about. I came to Dave's hot chicken based on all the hype around social media. I was exicted to finally see what all the hype was about. I ordered on their online website and I got two tenders both medium flavor and fries. The order also came with thier signature sauce and pickles. Online ordering was easy and when I arrived about 15 minutes later it was ready for pickup. The chicken had an okay flavor. I probably should have tried the hot to taste some kick. It wasn't crispy and it was kinda dry. The fries were seasoned and they were not bad as well. Overall i paid around 15.00 which was not bad. I would go here again if I was nearby however it wouldn't be my first choice or second! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Front Enterance - Chicken Shop Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Got food today around 4pm and I ordered online. Store was empty and still waited 15 minutes past my pickup time. The woman at the register was displeasing and unwelcoming. I went to try the mozzarella sticks within a minute of receiving the food and the cheese was solid. Are these not supposed to be gooey? Honestly felt like they were made 20 minutes before it was brought out to me. Got loaded fries as well and got 5 little pieces of chicken on top. Not really loaded with nothing on top. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Top Regular Top-Loaded Spicy Buffalo Mac - Chicken Shop Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

It FINALLY happened! A hot chicken joint that caters to vegetarians. I'm so glad Dave's exists in the Philadelphia area. I saw a user on Tik Tok trying their new (limited time only) NOT chicken aka cauliflower. I'm not sure when they had their grand opening, but it was pretty busy when we stopped in tonight. Originating in California and eventually expanding to other states, it's no surprise their food is increasingly popular. Dave's provides a small and simple menu with various levels of spiciness to choose from. I got the # 4 combo - one slider and fries. The fries had seasoning on them but came out a little cold. The cauliflower slider was hot and crispy. I added cheese and asked for "lite mild" sauce. It wasn't spicy at all and was quite enjoyable! The drink options are bottled water, bottled drinks or fountain drinks. As I mentioned above, it was busy so the wait was a little long, but it was worth it. I'm looking forward to coming back and hope they make the NOT chicken a permanent staple on their menu. read more

Plenty of parking, seating and staff! I've had Dave's Hot Chicken in 4 other states and the food is consistent! Upon taking my first bite, I was transported to the times I have had it prior in the West Coast. There is a location in NYC too that I've had. Flavor wise- I love that the heat isn't just heat burning your tongue, it's flavor! The prices are fair, they could have easily increased them with inflation and location but am glad they did not. Loved the personalized artwork embedded in the graffiti wall art. Funny and smart! read more

Don't support this franchise, don't support them, they don't pay their employees. The employees receive checks that bounce insufficient funds over and over again.. The Pennsylvania location is going bankrupt because they are doing crooked activities behind the scenes. The employees work the customers are happy while being treated horrible with no pay which is against the law. When management is confronted they ghost the employees. There is proof to back this up.. read more

I got a good chunk of chicken for slider size. I like the slaw, not many places do it. Everything tasted fresh. But overall it lacks flavor. not sure if I will get it again. Service was good. It's new , so looks clean. Except the old floor. read more

Great decor. Unfriendly service. Unfortunately, I can't discuss how the food tastes because I left before ai was served. I understand fast food isn't one's favorite job but it's not the customer's fault. There were 3 people working. No one came to the front to even say hello and hold on a second. Two people waited in front of me and it took them at least 5 minutes to even be acknowledged. The employee didn't look at them once. I left and went to the Chipotle next door. Poor first experience. I won't be coming back. Get your customer service up Dave's Hot Chicken. read more

My first time at a Dave's, and I enjoyed their hot chicken tender and slider combo platter. The food came out hot and fresh. The counter person was friendly, patient, and helpful which was greatly appreciated since it was our first time there. The cook, I believe, also made sure we were happy with our meal, as well. He came out and was busy keeping the place picked up while checking in with customers. I can't wait to try the mac and cheese next. Check them out! read more

My husband and I decided to try out Dave's Hot Chicken. We both ordered the 1 slider 1 tender meal. For the first time trying, we decided to try mild. I've seen the reviews, and the reaper had people's lips swelled 2 times the size they should have been, so we weren't taking any chances, LOL. I have to say the crunch and taste of the coating was ABSOLUTELY delicious. The kaleslaw was a good addition to the sandwich. It had a good sweet but alight bitter taste and was super crunchy. They give you a side of fries and some pickles on the side. The platter was reasonably priced for what you received. We have gone again since and decided to go with the 2 slider meals. In my opinion, the sliders are just really good with the added slaw, sauce, and super soft bun, my husband gets plain, no sauce, or slaw. My husband decided to try the hot. He said as far as the taste going up in heat took away from the flavor, so he would stick to the medium. He stated the heat was not much greater but again changed the flavor enough that he preferred the medium more. The food is just fresh and yummy! We will definitely frequent this spot. read more

I cant work with this place! Wifey has been wanting to stop by forever so we finally hit the bully for Dave's hot chicken.

I gotta get back to Dave's to try something else. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - #3 Lite Mild - Chicken Shop Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Chain for Nashville hot chicken finally coming to Philly. Had this elsewhere but was excited to see it in Philly. I've had several hot chicken places in the area and this is so far my favorite. Review for the tenders which come with a slice of bread, sauce and fries. Really appreciate how the workers are generous with the sauce. Should be careful as their heat is no joke. As someone that enjoys hot foods, I like the extra hot. But you need to be able to handle your heat if you get that level, but they have milder options. Milkshake is pretty tasty as well. Would definitely recommend. read more

There was extra food stacking up because people were not picking it up, when the employee asked the manager what to do with it he said to get rid of it and she threw it in the trash right in front of two customers. I've seen homeless people walk there to get food and they didn't even think of saving it for them. read more

Food was great the first time I went. I know it can't be perfect everything, but this time I waited way too long to get cold food.

The place had a nice crowd. Staff was friendly and efficient. The food was hot and fresh, the order was correct with modifications. Tables were clean. Only negative - no ice in the soda machine. read more

We came here after seeing it on YouTube and it was HOT! So we came in and there were graffiti on the wall (not actual graffiti) and got two sliders (hot), and Dave bites (mild). The server was nice, the food came quick! The bites weren't that bad, but the sliders said something different. They live to their name. HOT! The heat levels were Not hot Mild Medium Hot Really Hot Reaper We got tenders that were really hot! To get an idea of how spicy they can get. And it was so hot I can't even explain! It was like 2x the spiciness of hot, if they can get that hot with really hot, than I can't imagine the heat of reaper! If you are looking for spice this is the place to go! read more

Ordered two medium loaded fries with six nuggets per order. Food was icy cold french fries were greasy chicken was cold to I was going to say something about the food, but my granddaughter is nine years old. She has real high anxiety and she doesn't like confrontation so I just figure we were trying it didn't like it didn't say anything. She doesn't like confrontation she has high anxiety so we just left the food there. Try to call to explain to the manager, but could not reach anyone so I figured I just will go to yelp. You know I waste my $24 as a single mom read more

Never heard of Dave's chicken before, My first time at this place, I came to try new cauliflower slider, their chicken slider and their side dishes. Tried placing an order online directly on the website. After paying for my order using an Apple Pay, no receipt was displayed, tried paying for the second time, the same thing happened. Came to the restaurant and paid for my order with cash. My excitement ended when I got home and opened the black contains. Cauliflower slider was thin there was one small fried cauliflower, that portion was very small, almost no coleslaw on the bun. Very disappointed I've paid $6-$7 for that. Definitely not worth the money. read more

Just super excited for this to finally come to the area. I've had them in Houston and Boston and they're my favorite. Flavor, portions, it hits the spot. Great vibes great energy I wish them great success in this area. Two tenders are huge enough so don't feel like you're being skimped. Sauce is amazing. Trust them when they tell you that their seasoning is hot. It has a kick to it and if you're not able to handle spice- tread lightly. I love the vibe and customer service also.. highly recommend! read more

I came in to try the hot chicken and I'll never be back. Place was dead and I still Waited over 20mins. I continued to ask when it would be ready they had no clue. The people that came in after me and get their food said it wasn't good so maybe just a bad day. But the attitudes and glares from employees were enough to make me never come back. They took me for that first order but I'll never make the mistake again. What a waste. read more

Feel like a traitor for saying this, Philly born Asad's used to be my favorite hot chicken spot, but Dave's has them beat.

The food is very good and filling. Everything is seasoned well and has some spice behind it. The service was nice and fast but it took food a little long which is good. The restaurant was clean and the walls were nicely painted. The bang for your buck is a great with a delicious slider and amazing fries read more

I ordered online for a specific time before heading to work. I get there, they have a bunch of kids working there and most were standing around. My order wasn't ready. I waited for 20 minutes before getting my food. No apology, nothing! I do say the food is good and tasty but the service not so great. I completed the online survey. I get an apology and a coupon for a free meal. A couple weeks later I tried ordering online and use the coupon. Didn't work, showed as invalid. I emailed them and was totally ignored. Would not recommend this place and will not go back. read more

Hectic atmosphere Saturday afternoon didn't get food for over 30 minutes time for 3 meals. Not exactly fast food. People behind the counter yelling back and forth with kitchen. Chicken tenders were tasty and good flavor, but Mac & cheese was runny. This was their 2nd week open so I'll give them another chance later this week. read more
