Finally tried Dave's after a recommendation from family. I got the medium chicken, and it was really good--super juicy, and the medium heat level was spot on, which is a nice change since a lot of Nashville hot places taste exactly the same. ​As a huge cheese lover, the 3-piece medium mozzarella sticks were easily my favorite part of the meal and totally hit the spot. The only downside was the mac and cheese, which was just basic elbow pasta and nothing special. ​Overall, I'm really happy with the food and will definitely be back. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - A slider, chicken tender and fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Vestal, New York

I orderd a few of their mozzarella sticks, and they tasted great, then I orderd a MAC AND CHEESE dish that was labeled as "Spicy Buffalo Mac & Cheese" I open my to go container and there is AT MOST 1 oz of mac and cheese and a pound of french fries, I go digging thinking they must just put some french fries on top, but the base layer is all french fries and 12 mac and cheese noodles at best, if I wanted loaded fries topped with a pathetic amount of mac I would have orderd that. read more

Jeff has great costumer service, excellent costumer service, would come again just to see him

Honestly, for a fast food chicken place this really exceeded my expectations. Ordering was really easy, the place was clean, the chicken was crunchy but super moist. The fries were cooked perfectly. The pickles tasted great! The only thing I wasn't prepared for was how expensive it would be, but in today's world everything really is. I will definitely be back. read more

The food was pretty good, the only downside was the flavor of the chicken is good, spicy but the chicken flower is powdered on instead of sauce. This is an opinion but the food was very good but very expensive. read more

Prices are highway robbery. The food was amazing and the spicy chicken had a fair amount of spice. Service was friendly. Would recommend.

Honestly, I'm torn with this review. As far as service, I ordered on the app fairly late in the night and it was ready in less than 10 mins for pickup. Very smooth ordering process. When they say hot, it is definitely hot; they're not playing around. I'm the person who usually orders something spicy in any restaurant and for the most part I usually get the hottest spice level in most foods. However, this is a step above. Which, for those who want painfully spicy, this might hit the spot (they actually have a waiver if you order the reaper level hot). I only went for hot and extra hot as a first test, which I felt was a bit hotter than I was expecting. The chicken itself is tender and juicy. Love the dry rub seasoning. They also have vegan options. All orders come with pickles, slices of bread, and sauce by default. However, only a few bites in my stomach started to hurt. That usually doesn't happen while I'm eating spicy food. So something about it seemed off. Let's just say the day after was not great for us. I would recommend treading lightly the first time you eat here. And definitely not before any important event. It was tasty, but at what cost? read more

Can you give a review with negative stars? What a terrible restaurant in the Vestal, NY location. On line order, no exaggeration, an HOUR late before it was ready. Not even that crowded! Giving the wrong orders to people and then getting mad at people when they show up and their food was given away. Manager is rude and clearly terrible at her job. Clearly something has changed drastically since the earlier reviews. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. read more

Ordering was easy. The young man at the counter, Devin, was very personable. Chicken sandwich was cooked perfectly. I asked for medium spicy and that's what I got. Fries were nicely seasoned and crispy. Definitely worth the cheat! The restaurant is clean, there's plenty of tables for dining in and there's ample parking. read more

Went out to Dave's Hot Chicken last night for our date night. It just opened recently and we were excited to try something new in town. We were not disappointed. It was a decent wait to order, they are crazy busy right now but it was worth the wait. The food didn't take long once we ordered. We took it to go. We ordered a #1 two sliders mild and fries and a #4 1 slider medium with fries. The chicken has a dry seasoning on it which was a nice surprise most places if not all in the area do sauces. It's definitely something new offered. The chicken was crispy and juicy and super flavorful. The kale slaw was a nice addition to the slider. It's fresh and offsets the heaviness of the meal. Fries were also excellent, they are crinkle cut with a seasoning. Dave's sauce is a Smokey sweet sauce, very yummy on everything including the fries. We also got a side of Mac n cheese to try. It was creamy and cheesy, flavor was good. The mild on first taste has virtually no spicy level. The medium is definitely there but not overwhelming. The heat does pick up as you eat with time, even with the mild. But nothing crazy. The medium was perfect for me. Great first visit. The portions are pretty big. Glad I only got 1 slider. Looking forward to going back. read more

This was a total bummer. I had heard really good things about this place and was really excited to try it. I ordered the slider and tender meal with fries. I ordered light-mild. It was probably my fault in assuming I could handle the light mild. It was still too hot to eat. OK, my bad it's not their fault that I ordered wrong, but the bite that I did take was pure seasoning. My husband got the bites, which actually seemed less spicy than the tender, so I tried that. Two bites in and that was a mistake as well. OK well I at least still ordered mac & cheese, french fries fries with cheese and coleslaw. The French fries were soggy and super salty and the cheese had no flavor. The Cole slaw was basically cabbage sitting in water. The mac & cheese was ultimately the only thing that I was able to eat. It tasted kind of like the cheese sauce with some spices and the macaroni was soft, which I find to be an issue with most places that serve macaroni and cheese. In the end, my husband did not care for the tenders either so after $43 I was the only one able to eat that itty-bitty cup of macaroni and cheese. Boo. read more

10/10 don't recommend chicken it self was okay but seasoning taste like taco seasoning and chili powder along with the fries nothing special taco seasoning and chili powder i had the medium and hot chicken bites w fries best thing out of the meal was the pink lemonade from the drink machine and i felt the need to write a review because it gave me heartburn all day read more

It was great vibes, food I got mild and it tasted like I was eating watery chicken honestly watery chicken might have had more flavor considering I eat it a lot. Service was great people very quick. read more

The chicken was very good but it was pretty frustrating to sit there for 32 minutes while orders places after mine were served. Then the employee didn't acknowledge the long wait.. not how I wanted the experience to go. read more

The food in the place (Dave's Hot Chicken) is amazing. The rub on the Chicken is so good I love it. I keep on getting hot spice chicken and it's delicious. Prices are normal considering the big pieces of chicken you get. The mac& cheese is my favorite. Service took a little longer than usual, But considered the people ordered. I give this place 5stars. If you want faster service order online. Very happy with overall business. Thank you. read more

The chicken is very good and it's not just the spice. I imagine the no spice would be good as well although we order medium. The employees are very friendly and are willing to answer any questions questions read more
