    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.

I let the employee at the register know I was there to pick up my order. He told me it would be about another 10 minutes, which I completely understood since it was getting busy. Unfortunately, it seemed like he forgot I was waiting. I watched several customers who arrived after me receive their orders before I did. When I finally went back to the register to ask about my order, I was told that my food had apparently been given to other customers. This was extremely disappointing because the order wasn't just for me--it was for my coworkers as well. I ended up spending my entire lunch break waiting for an order that I never received. A mistake like this can happen, but I would have appreciated better communication and more attention to customers waiting for pickup. Overall, it was a frustrating experience, and I hope the restaurant improves its pickup process to prevent this from happening to someone else.

Plump, tender shrimp swimming in a velvety tomato-cream sauce with real backbone -- that warm, layered heat that builds slow and lingers just long enough to make you reach for more. It's the kind of dish where the spice actually means something: cumin, coriander, a whisper of clove, and a chili kick that says the kitchen isn't playing it safe. We ordered it medium and it hit that perfect sweet spot where flavor and fire are in balance. The garlic naan was the ideal partner -- pillowy, blistered, and dripping with garlic, perfect for mopping up every last drop of that sauce (and trust me, you'll want to). The Chicken Hakka Noodles brought a totally different energy: smoky wok-tossed heat, springy noodles, and that savory Indo-Chinese punch with just enough chili to keep things interesting. Everything arrived hot, sealed tight, and right on time -- no leaks, no sad soggy containers, nothing lost in transit. Generous portions, free delivery, and food that tastes like it came straight off the stove. If you like your Indian food with genuine spice and soul, Bansari delivers. Literally. Highly recommend!

This establishment seems to be Egyptian owned, as the walls claim that Egyptians created bread, cupcakes and falafel. The service was fine, though the tables could have been cleaner. I appreciate that they allow you to substitute some of the rice portion for lettuce/spring mix although the spring mix was wet. They also offered both spicy and regular options for rice and chicken. I got spicy rice with spicy chicken, and for my toppings I got Mediterranean salad, hummus, and tzaziki. I didn't realize you could also get white sauce, green sauce, etc, so I probably wouldn't get tzaziki and get olives or something else next time. The chicken and rice combo was a bit overly spicy for me and upset my stomach slightly. I'd probably get regular for both the next time.
