    Conveniently located within the Pike 7 Plaza next to the T.J. Maxx and within the same center with Lidl. This is my son's favorite spot for their hot chicken tenders switching between the mild and medium spice levels! The chicken is always prepared to order, tender, and juicy. This location is very clean and the service is always helpful and friendly. Parking can be a little hectic as it is shared with a busy shopping center, but manageable. A must return for us and looking forward to returning. Enjoy!

    I occasionally come to this Dave's for lunch because my office is nearby. It's one of my favorites, I think the flavor is very good and they have nice options. The ambiance is chill but the workers make the real difference. They are so kind and great people, Tiffani is very kind and helpful. Please keep in mind that their chicken is actually hot. I recommend this spot for anyone looking for a chicken tender and/or slider!

    I tried Dave's for the first time today - had the tender and slider combo, both extra hot. They were both very good - hot and fresh, crispy, and a nice level of heat (for extra hot). The French fries were also seasoned well and nice and crispy.

    This is a nice spot in the Tyson's area that exclusively offers "hot" chicken. The reason for the air quotes is because the dry rub and flavors aren't hot at all. We even ordered the spiciest option and that was probably the level 2 or 3 at most places that offer 5 levels of spicy. So just manage your expectations if you are looking hot and spicy. The chicken itself is freshly breaded and fried so every bite is extra crispy! Aside from that, the service is incredibly friendly and efficient. The entire ordering and receiving process took less than 5 mins. The store has a fun and open vibe so definitely a place you could hang with friends and enjoy a decent meal.

    You could say Dave's Hot Chicken is egg-cellent for a casual bite! I ordered Dave's #1, which came with two tenders, toast, pickles, and french fries. The chicken was very fresh and juicy, and I really enjoyed that aspect of it. The tenders were only two pieces, but they were quite large, so it felt like a good portion. I also appreciated that they offer varying spice levels--I ordered a medium, which had a nice kick but wasn't too spicy at all. However, I found the coating on the tenders a bit too powdery--it lingered in my mouth and gave a strange texture at times. The french fries, on the other hand, were excellent--hot, crisp, and just what you'd hope for in a side. The atmosphere was busy and bustling, and it seems to attract a younger crowd, which adds to the lively vibe. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the mood for some fresh, flavorful chicken and good fries, but be aware of the coating texture if that's something you're picky about!

    Absolutely delish. They call their sandwiches "sliders" but they're not small at all. I ordered one slider and one chicken tender with fries. The chicken was crispy and juicy, not dried out at all. Did not order a beverage. They have different degrees of heat available from very mild to extra spicy. Milkshakes are available as well. Open pretty late. Nice, colorful art murals on the walls. I would equate this place to Five Guys, but for chicken sandwiches rather than burgers. I think this place is much better than Hangry Joes Hot Chicken, in my opinion. Highly recommend.

    I had a great meal here at Dave's Hot Chicken. It's a fast food chain that opened within the last year in the Tyson's Corner location. The set up is like any regular fast food restaurant-- you order at the the counter and given a number and wait until your number gets called to collect your food. The food didn't take long either. I ordered the Dave's #4 which is 1 chicken slider, fries and a drink. They call it a slider but the sandwich was on the bigger size. The sandwich had pickles, coleslaw, a type of sauce and the most tender on the inside and crispy on the outside piece of chicken i have had in awhile. SOOOO GOOD. You can also choose from mild to extra spicy. You get extra pickles on the side too which i was happy about as a pickle lover. The fries were cripsy but i prefer it with less seasoning. I will definitely be back!

    5 stars as always. This store has never been a miss yet, only a hit. I always get hot fresh and tasty food when I order here. And the customer service is outstanding as well.

    Been to Dave's Hot Chicken many times. First review as I finally around to it. First, sign up for their rewards program as you will be going time aftet time. In terms of quality of food, it's very high quality although it's not consistent. I have had on some instances where the chicken wasn't hot and fresh & some of the fries were also not hot & crispy. But this evening, everything was perfect. It did take a while as it was extremely busy and its made to order. My son usually gets the medium and I usually get the hot. It's not super spicy but leaves a little tingle in your mouth. The Dave's dipping sauce is a type of mayo/ketchup based sauce with spices. The fries are crinkle cut, seasoned and of smallest size. When cooked hot & fresh, the chicken is extremely moist & juicy. The outer coating is crispy and generously dusted with your order level of spiciness. I've tried the Kale slaw and although it's really good, the serving size is small & does not justify the price. I would say it's a dollar too expensive. The service is good. The music played is classic rock and rock in general & loud. They serve coca cola fountain drinks and gold peak ice tea with various flavors. The down side is that the prices are on the moderate side but is kinda justified by the quality of chicken. Oh and with any fried foods, it's best consumed at the location and not as good delivered or carry out.

    Perfect for an easy Friday night bite! As someone who doesn't have a high spicy tolerance the 'Mild' was perfect. My partner got 'Hot' and said it was very good. The sauce is amazing!! Also, the staff is very helpful if it's your first time they'll explain the spice levels to you. The food was fresh and the milkshake was very good. Will definitely come again!

    This is one of the better hot chicken places in DMV. Very easy to order and the food comes out quickly. The only reason why it is not a 5 star is that the size of the chicken is inconsistent. Some days, it is a big piece and other times it is smaller. It also different sizes between a slider or tenders. I would say for regular person, the chicken is spicy enough at Hot level. I backed off to just medium. I like to enjoy my food. It is also nice to be able to eat outdoor at night with the weather warming up.

    FOOD We ordered a regular hot box (hot and extra hot) and a hot box roulette of tenders. They each came with a container of pickles and sauce as well as sliced bread, and we asked for extra sauce packets and honey when picking up. The tenders were well-breaded, seasoned, and definitely packed a punch. The spiciness of the reaper lingers for about 10-15 minutes but quickly resolves afterwards. The others are the same but at a lesser level. Definitely a great place to stop by if looking for a fun meal! SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. You have to ask when picking up for utensils, napkins, and sauces as they are located behind the register. AMBIANCE Ample seating is available both indoors and outdoors. We went on a Thursday night, and it was relatively packed with people both inside and out. PARKING A good amount of parking is available at the side of the store.

    Dave's vs Joe's - Dave's won for us as far as chicken tenders go. We got the 10 piece for $40, great value IMO bc we got 3 meals out of it essentially. The tenders were huge and flavorful. The mild was not spicy at all but the hot was pretty spicy so I'll go for medium next time.

    4/15/26 "Gagawa, was Turkish chicken restaurant located in…read moreTysons Corner Center Foodcourt Area. This restaurant has permanently closed as of March/April 2026. Evidence points to failure due to high competition in the food court (notably beside McDonald's) and the challenges of establishing a new international brand in the U.S. market, leading to a quick closure. Reddit According to community reports on Reddit in March 2026, the location was boarded up, the phone number was disconnected, and it was removed from delivery apps." This kind of action saddens me, because two weeks earlier (maybe), my wife and I ate there for what was our last time. The last item I had on their menu was Its MyThyme. This along with the Crispy Mozzarella Balls. My Favorite Items were the #1 Chef Pan, #3 Chesey Rosemary, #6 Its My Thyme and #4 Teri & Yaki, but not necessarily in this order. Oh, did I mention I liked the Crispy Mozzarella Balls too? I have visited this place 14 times and I thought there would be a 15th time, but "Alas Poor Yorick, Nevermore." I remember the simple but peaceful vibe and ambience the place gave off. The $14.99 meals were fantastic/flavorful, filling and inexpensive. We enjoyed talking to the managers of the establishment. They always made sure food arrived in a timely manner and fixed problems should they occur. I unfortunately do not remember the name of the managers of the restaurant, but I thank them for their services. I would have to say up until Gagawa came to the United States Of America, (formerly Tavuk Dünyası), I have never had Turkish Cuisine before. I now know I have been missing out on great food. Both my wife and I truly enjoyed eating at this restaurant. There are a few reasons I think could have improved the restaurant's business, but managers informed me The owner would never do this. Here is an example of an idea for guests I had..., but first the basics: Ordinarily you would order say...(It's My Thyme #6), you would aquire Your the flavored meat, pasta, (either pesto or tomato not both) or rice and salad. You could get two rice, two Pastas (of the same flavor) or two salads if you didn't want one of these items. I thought it would help guests if you could mix and match items. Say one Pesto and one rice instead of salad for example. This option was done once then quickly reversed the next time I came back to the restaurant. I was informed this "isn't an option." I had talked about the option of Los Tres Pollos (The Three Chickens) where you might order a the chicken meats of your favorite meals..., say number 1, 3 and 6 for a very favorable meal. This idea was shot down too. I am sure people would have paid $19.99 to try this option of meats or soy items. "Potential Causes For Closing Down: Observers on Yelp noted it was located in a crowded, competitive fast-food court." The inability to adapt to ideas of improving the food options of restaurant, the cognitive rigidity of not listening to guests who had ideas of attracting more guests helped bring about the down fall of this business. My wife and I saw this place needed more people to come eat here, but the owner was steadfast in his ways and wouldn't take creative input. "And as the flames climbed high into the night, to light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The Day the Music Died." and so folks, the end of Gagawa is upon us. Who will take the place of this restaurant, I can not say. Let's hope the new restaurant has the sense to adapt and overcome or history might repeat itself. Incase people are wondering where Gagawa was located, here is the former location. The restaurant was located at the food courts 7939L Tysons Corner Ctr, Mc Lean, VA 22102. Across the hallway from California Pizza Kitchen and next to McDonald's.

They took the time to explain the menu and different food options, which I really appreciated. I ordered the build-your-own bowl with sweet chili chicken, and it was outstanding--everything was so fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The rice was especially impressive: fluffy, tasty, and cooked just right. To top it all off, they were kind enough to offer me free tea and their delicious rice pudding with hazelnuts, which was amazing and such a thoughtful touch. I'll definitely be recommending this place to others. It's already one of my new favorite spots--I truly loved everything about my experience here!

My roasted turkey sandwich was $14.95 to start, and toppings like pepper relish cost extra (I feel like a spread should not be half a dollar but sure). Meat quality was good and bread felt fresh but just a little hard to chew. For basically 16$, there was only two thin slices of provolone. Compared to some of the photos I saw, the sandwich was a bit lacking on the toppings of meat/cheese. People super friendly and service was quick. They had tons of desserts, pasta salad, and a few actual pasta dishes on the menu too. I'll have to come in to give them a try for a cheesesteak or the caesar salad wrap next.
