About Dave's Hot Chicken

Dave's Hot Chicken offers a unique dining experience with its chicken tenders that come in different heat levels, from no heat to super spicy. A customer mentioned getting two tenders with fries and appreciated the option to have different heat levels for each tender. The tenders have a dry rub/spice taste that the reviewer enjoyed. The spice is described as curry-esque, and even those who don’t usually like curry may find it appealing.

The restaurant's staff, particularly a manager named Ju Ju, received positive feedback for their exceptional service. The reviewer thanked Ju Ju for her hard work and dedication, even though she was leaving the job. The staff's friendly and attentive service was noted, with reviewers mentioning their smiles and polite attitude. One customer described the environment as nice and welcoming, expressing a desire to have discovered the place sooner.

The vegetarian options are limited to fries and a cauliflower slider, which one reviewer plans to try on their next visit. The slider entree can be shared with crinkle fries, making it very filling. The restaurant's cleanliness and ambiance were also mentioned positively, with one customer stating that regardless of the volume, the food is always tasty and fresh.

However, one reviewer had a negative experience with a latinx woman at the front of the restaurant who did not acknowledge them while taking orders ahead of them. The reviewer felt unattended and compared the experience to ordering chicken in the Jim Crow South.

Overall, Dave's Hot Chicken offers delicious and generously-sized chicken tenders with a variety of heat options, served in a clean and friendly environment. The vegetarian options are limited, and the service is generally commendable, with a few exceptions. The restaurant has been described as legendary, with customers expressing a strong desire to return.
