Dave's has moved to my #1 chicken place. Behind Popeyes, KFC and the pits of despair Chic. Holy chicken does this place have some lip smacking food!! I was keeping an eye on this place as it was being built. Then today my wife and I decided to try it. We couldn't be more happy with it. Not a overly complicated menu. Besides the chicken, they have some interesting shake options. I went with the Dave's 2 sliders and fries. While my wife went for the 2 tenders. They offered upcharges for cheese for the frys and Mac and cheese instead of the fries. Of course we did both. She got mild and I got medium. I knew nothing of how they do their chicken, and I'm glad I didn't check. Just an absolutely gorgeous dry rub and fried to perfection. The spices and herbs are out of this world. Just completely

This place was incredible came in at about 5 so dinner time roughly it was busy but the staff handled it extremely well. I got the #3 which was a sandwich and a tender with fries for $15 cannot complain as that's the price for most fast foot places for a standard size meal. My girlfriend got the #4 was just a sandwich and fries the wait was no longer than 10 mins and the food was spectacular. it was busy so we took it to go however it was still extremely fresh by the time we got home. Just the crunch from the first bite you can tell all the chicken was brined day of at latest it was so fresh and crispy with an actual thick nice piece of chicken cooked to absolutely perfection! The fries are seasoned in i don't know what but they even had just the right amount of flavor and kick and was ver

Took my beautiful woman out on a date here for both of our first times and we both were extremely impressed. Such a great environment with beautiful artwork all over. Everyone was super friendly and supportive. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was top notch. 10/10 recommend. Love places like this one

The food was OK. Dave's sauce was really good. Fries were kinda soggy. I'm not a fan of the dry rub on the chicken, but that's not the issue here. The dining room was DISGUSTING. Every table and chair was dirty. The floor was extremely dirty. The floor mats were filled with old food that was stepped on throughout the day. The windows and doors had finger prints all over them. The bathrooms were super dirty. All this while the employees were just chilling behind the counter.

Dave's Hot Chicken, Hamburg, NY: The portions are way bigger than anticipated. When they say slider, they mean a full-on sandwich, not a tiny bite. This is not a “sample.” This is a commitment. Even the two-piece tenders are much more than you’d expect. The chicken seasoning is exactly how hot chicken should taste, and the Dave’s sauce is absolutely to die for. Adding honey on top seals the deal; sweet, spicy, life-changing behavior. Even their fries are on point! We ordered mild because we didn’t know what we were getting into with the spice level and honestly, we were very glad we did. We like spice, but we were also out shopping and this was a wise, responsible decision. My son and husband ordered Dave’s #1 (two tenders with fries), and they couldn’t even finish it which is unheard o
