I really love Dave's hot chicken and this location is great! Had a Dave's #4 hot and it was the best thing ever. The chicken and fries were hot and fresh. I also love the decor and wall paintings at this location, its pretty cool.

First time visiting after listening to the HIBT episode featuring one of their co-founders Arman and I have to say this place is insanely clean…broke all my stereotypes of a fast food place…can’t believe how clean and organized this place is…the food is also surprisingly good and large portions. We ordered #1 and #3 and they are just so crunchy, well spiced and so good. My boyfriend is a picky eater especially with fried chicken, even he’s like super amazed after the first bite. Will def come back!

First time at Dave’s hot chicken and at this location in Midtown. Went with the guys from work. Service was quick. It wasn’t too busy around 1 PM. Location looked clean and had a good vibe. Food was ready quickly, and I got a chocolate milkshake as well. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pictures as I was hungry and the food looked delicious and I dug right in. I got the slider with fries,really tasty with just the right amount of crispy. Will definitely return. Staff were friendly. Thanked us when we left. Everything was packaged well and the place was clean. There was seating available although we took ours to go…excellent first experience!

I tried Dave’s Hot Chicken and ordered the #2 Slider with fries. The chicken was super juicy and packed with flavor, and the heat level was just right—spicy but still enjoyable. The slider was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and the sauce gave it a nice kick. Fries were fresh and seasoned well. The cashier Abu was very friendly and made the experience even better. Definitely worth it if you’re craving something bold and flavorful. I’ll be coming back for sure

Staff are super friendly. They are helpful with the menu and can give you a good idea about the spice levels. Your order comes quick. The chicken is very tender and the fries are crispy. Really enjoy the design of this restaurant inside and out. Clean facility. Free WiFi. Unlimited refills on drinks. Seems there is always some kind of monthly menu item. Patio available. Walk up order window available. No credit card surcharge. Prices are a little high for the potions. Floors can be slippery when wet.

Dave’s Hot Chicken is ! I finally got to try it and it did not disappoint. The chicken was incredibly juicy, perfectly crispy, and the spice levels were spot-on — from mild to “reaper” for the brave ones. I went with medium and it had just the right kick! The sliders are massive and loaded with flavor, especially with that creamy Dave’s sauce and pickles. The fries were fresh and seasoned well, and I highly recommend adding mac & cheese on the side — total comfort food. The vibe of the place is fun and casual, and the staff was friendly and quick with service, even though it was busy. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Definitely coming back. If you love spicy, crispy chicken, this place is a must-try!

Really good food and service. Limited seating and waiting a little but the worth the wait. Girlfriend had the cauliflower tender and slider, was very crispy ans deliriously fried. Fries crinkles were the best
