My son had a basketball game in the area so we followed the team here after the game. To be honest,…read morethe last time my son got raising Cane's I tried some of it and the only thing that I liked was the sauce. I was willing to give it another shot though. The young boy working at the register did a great job as we all piled in and instantly formed a long line. The food came out in a short time and there was not much waiting. I got fries and Texas toast. It was better this time, but I do like my fries a little crispier. One of my favorite things about the restaurant is the decor and wall paintings. I loved everything from the colors to the moving disco balls on the ceiling. It's very appealing and eye catching. It was nice to see everybody spending time together outside of the court. Food has a special way of bringing people together!!

The service is really good too, they have a very family-friendly vibe and you feel that since everytime I went in, someone of the staff knew someone coming in to eat. I think the only reason I can't give 5 stars is that the food was different on two seprate times I went, even though I ordered the same item. Twice I ordered party wings (as pictured) and the first time they had the crispy coating and then were sauced. (I liked that better personally) Then, the next time, they were not coated and just fried. They were both cooked and fully delicious because I ate all of them, but they weren't the same both times. It's not gonna stop me from going again, because either way those wings come out, I'm still gonna eat them, hahaha. There's just no place nearby that has a honey garlic sauced wings!

I've had Dave's Hot Chicken in several places, including California and Massachusetts, and this…read moreDave's Hot Chicken location is by far my favorite. The restaurant itself was extremely clean, which immediately stood out when we walked in. The staff behind the counter were incredibly friendly and welcoming, genuinely some of the nicest people I've encountered at any restaurant. The manager and team clearly take pride in the place. While we were eating, the manager even came over to our table to check on us and make sure the food met their standards and that everything was good. That kind of attention to customers really makes a difference and shows how much they care about the experience. The food was excellent as well. I'm a big fan of a good spicy chicken sandwich, and Dave's in general does that really well, but this location feels like the pinnacle of the brand. Everything was fresh and flavorful, exactly what you want from hot chicken. Overall it was an outstanding experience with great food, an extremely clean restaurant, and an amazing staff. I would 100% recommend this location to anyone looking for great hot chicken.

First time ever hearing about Dave's Hot Chicken. We happened to be in the area and someone in our…read moregroup raved about it. Got the #2. Comes with 2 chicken sandwiches and fries. Chicken was huge and super crispy. Fries are crinkle cut dusted with seasoning. Found that the fry amount was a bit smaller in portion size compared to the chicken. I mean maybe it's the actually serving size but let's be real. Fries are also a main course. So we ordered a large box of fries. The three of us (who didn't eat the #2 meal) killed the fries quickly. Mixed 2 packets of the Dave's sauce (it's like equivalent to 5 ketchup packets) with 2 ketchup packets . Mmm perfect. Saw a lot of Muslim patrons here. I was curious and looked it up. The chicken at Dave's is halal. KFC and chic fil a aren't. Looking at you KFC and chic fil a. More patrons would come to eat at your establishments if you served halal foods. Clearly from my ONE time eating at Dave's I could see that Muslim people like fried chicken too. DUH! Good job Dave's. I mean it didn't affect me in any way but it made me feel good that Dave's did something right. Will definitely be coming to Dave's Hot Chicken again!

And since I'm on a journey to try all the hot chicken joints I can, I stopped in for a simple lunch and to use their restroom. The restroom was really clean - definitely a plus! But the service was GREAT! When I walked in, the lady working behind the counter greeted me... I noticed she greeted everyone who walked in. She helped me with the menu, answering questions and giving me suggestions. Their menu has more than the typical hot chicken sandwich, like most joints. They have some interesting things here, including a fried cheese done in "hot chicken seasoning style" and nuggets too. I went for their 10 piece nugget meal with came with fries. I waited about 10 mins for the food to be made, it came out piping hot and fresh. The fries were great - they were crispy and seasoned perfectly. The chicken was amazing! Looked, felt, tasted like it was freshly battered and fried. Came out piping hot and flavorful! I only got medium on this trip and I will say that their medium is on the light side, so next time I'd get hot. But it was very flavorful nonetheless! I really loved this visit and I would most definitely return to a Dave's Hot Chicken based on this visit!

My first time here. I didn't know how big the chicken sliders were so I ordered a number 3 medium…read moreflavor spice thinking that the slider was small and I can try a tender. Boy I messed up. The chicken that is served is not small. I could have probably just got away with just the number 1 which was two tenders to save on the carbs. But don't worry for those who still crave some the tenders came with a slice of bread so you could easily make a sandwich out them. The fries were super crispy all the way through. Not soggy at all. The chicken is severed with a Cajun spice that they add to the fries. It is very good if you like Cajun spice. They offer a variety of milkshakes which looks really good as well. Unfortunately I did not try those but something to check out next time. The location's got plenty of seating. Great decor and I can see that this is a great spot for late night eats. There's plenty of parking outside. That make the chicken nice and fresh so you do have to wait a little bit for them to get you your meal. But it's worth the wait. Also as soon as people left their tables l, the staff was already cleaning the tables. A plus in my book for cleaning. Also they had me rocking the '80s music too. Okay Dave, you got me hooked.

The building may be small but it's the perfect size for a busy kitchen and small front area to pick up great take-out food. Wow....can they put out some amazing down home southern food. They're all very friendly and welcoming and once again....man can they cook. I had the chopped BBQ, candied yams, collard greens, and cornbread. The chopped BBQ is spicy and vinegary. It didn't even need barbeque sauce, but you can get that as well. The candied yams had a spice that I couldn't figure out but it was addictive. I just wanted more. Collard greens were excellent. Cornbread was moist and tender. My wife wasn't that hungry so she ordered the Mac & Cheese. Warm, comforting, and cheesy. She loved it. My cornbread was so good that she ended up eating most of it. Couldn't ask for much more than that. Next time we order I'm going to try the Smothered Pork Chops.
