Dave's Hot Chicken is a casual lunch spot located in the heart of Columbia, known for its no-frills atmosphere. It offers big, juicy, crunchy tenders with tasty spices and batter, along with flavorful fries that have a unique seasoning. The restaurant provides vegetarian options, including a cauliflower substitute. Customers have noted that the food is always good, especially the hot tenders, and the customer service is usually great. However, be prepared for a possible wait and limited parking, as the lot is small and the spots are narrow. On nice days, diners can sit outside, but there are also tables and booths inside with lively decor.
Many families have made Dave's a regular stop in Columbia, enjoying the choices and prices on the menu. The staff is often described as friendly and eager to assist with menu decisions, making the ordering process easy. One special feature is that customers can choose their spice level for the chicken, which adds a personal touch to the experience. The meals are cooked to order, ensuring freshness, and diners receive a pager to know when their order is ready. While some customers have had mixed experiences, particularly with the service feeling a bit impersonal, the food quality, especially the tenders and sides like mac and cheese and kale slaw, is usually praised. Overall, Dave's Hot Chicken stands out among fast food options for its cleanliness and the genuine pride taken in each order.
