    Cauliflower Bites
    Jen K.

    I was super excited to try this place. They have lots of cauliflower options, and as a vegetarian, I really appreciate that. They used to only be in Henrietta, so I was thrilled when I saw this location was coming! My husband was nearby, so he ordered and brought it home. He got a #3 meal and he got the Reaper sauce, and you have to sign a waiver!!! I was slightly worried about this, but he said he's had things that are hotter. He really loves hot stuff. He thought it was hot, but not crazy. I personally would not have been able to go near it. I got the cauliflower bites at a level 1. They had a little tiny spicy taste, but nothing bad. And that's how I want it! The breading on them was a little strange to me. If I'm being totally honest, I really wouldn't want them again. I might try a cauliflower sandwich next time. We both thought the Dave's sauce was very bland and nothing special. We both really like sauces, so we were excited to try it and both thought it was disappointing. We would probably give them another shot, but neither of us were overly impressed with anything we had. They did recently open and were quite busy, if that made any difference. It was ok, but we're not running back.

    I had heard the hype and saw lots of folks online raving about Dave's hot chicken.. I saw this new location and thought I would try.. The staff made me experience not so good- When I walked in it took a couple of minutes to get the attention of the cashier who was talking to group of staff behind the counter ( there appeared to be more staff than customers). The restaurant was open, sunny and clean.. the door popped open and all you could smell was smoke from the parking lot.. I got the HOT chicken and it was OK, not great, but OK.. the Dave's sauce was OK- sweet, bland and I could not define what type of flavor it was.. the winner of the meal was the fries!! I'll try Dave's again- but not this location...

    Cool T-Shirt saying

    Went to Dave's Hot Chicken. Loved the experience. It is decorated to celebrate Irondequoit, and Rochester which I thought was super cool. The employees were very nice, they introduced themselves to us at the counter, asked us if we had been there before. When we said no, they took their time to explain their menu. It was so refreshing to see service with a smile on E. Ridge Rd. Where the employees and managers usually seem angry, with an attitude. I hope this doesn't happen to Dave's Hot Chicken. That's what ruined Moe's were the employees, and high turn over. The employees here seemed super stoked to be working here. I loved their uniforms. Their T-shirts all have cool sayings on the back. As for the Food, I ordered the loaded fries, med heat. It was really good, I couldn't eat the whole thing. I enjoyed it. But it would have been nice to either have more Kale slaw on it, because it awesome, and it seemed like there was just a tiny bit of mine. Or if it came as a side. That would have been good too. My SO ordered the #4 Chicken sandwich, with fries. Now my SO has never liked chicken sandwiches anywhere. He loved this one. He ordered it Medium heat, he said next time he might go up a level. It was nice to him enjoy it so much. He gave me a bite, and I liked his better than my loaded fries. I thought the prices were reasonable for the area, especially since they also have vegetarian options as well. The Kale slaw was a total so for me. I'm not a coleslaw person. But Kale slaw, was the bomb! We went on 2pm on a Tuesday, it was nice, not too crowded but busy enough that you know it's good. I also loved the little machines they give you that light up when your order is ready, so you can sit and enjoy your drink while you wait. I had an orange slushy. My SO wanted a Strawberry shake, but their shake machine was not working. But the experience was so nice he didn't care. Very clean, hardworking employees, you can see the kitchen, and it was spotless. I'd would be nice to see the kitchen staff in hairnets, but my cons are so small. I didn't take any stars for it. Thanks Daves's chicken for opening on E. Ridge Rd, and hiring such happy, friendly, and clean employees. They were top notch. We will be back

    Chicken is tasty, not much variety. Staff isn't friendly and the place looks dirty for a new location

    Was in a chicken mood and hadn't tried this place yet this is order at the counter and they bring…read moreit out type place. Nice employees right up front, ordered a Nashville hot chicken sandwich on Texas toast (brioche available) comes with pickles and their house sauce on it, and an order of 6 wings figuring The sandwich might not be enough... boy was I wrong. Sandwich was big by any standard any other day it would have been 2 helpings for me but I had been fasting for bloodwork so was able to handle the whole thing, the wings were going to be another matter they were also on the large side but was able to eat 2 before I gave up. Have to say both items were top notch and if you read my reviews you know I'm what my crew calls "picky" about my food... they have multiple sides including mac&cheese and multiple variations of fries. If you haven't been here and are in the mood for chicken you should give them a try, and don't worry if your eyes are bigger than you stomach like mine were the leftovers heat up just fine in the toaster oven.

    I tried this place out. I ended up getting what my coworkers referred to as a garbage plate. Two…read morechicken fingers on a bed of french fries and mac salad, topped with homemade meat sauce, onions, and Magnetic Sauce. It was good. A lot of food. Nothing super special to be honest. I also got a side of Cole always which was solid, but the cajon corn with no bacon was watered down and did not have much flavor to it The gal who took my order was very helpful though.
