  • Damn so now he no longer owns the business, shareholders own the business and can kick him out of his own company wow ...the power of money$$$$$

    I very much enjoy it. The seasoning is great, think it has a hint of brown sugar which is a great balance of salty, spicy, and sweet. I’m not mad at the price because you can taste it in the quality of the chicken. On top of the great sandwich my local Daves gives amazing customer service as well. All of the staff have smiles and are happy to give recommendations or answer any questions.
  • @Malaika924
    Yet none of their "Nashville hot chicken" chains are anywhere near Nashville. 🤔
  • I love hot chicken and glad there are independent chicken businesses but sometimes not so close by. The closest dave's has opened about 15 minutes away and I want to go. Is hot spiciness hot enough? I can handle plenty spice but most hot style chicken I've had thus far medium spicy is good enough too without being too much to handle. When I've had "hot" spicy it usually makes my nose runny and my eyes watery.

    I've eaten a reaper... did not have to sign a waver. It was great the first half of the sandwich, but it built up that heat and was nearly unbearable the last half LOL
  • I think I would rather cook it myself. That chicken looks pumped with hormones.
  • @cyberbink
    Why do the tenders always look burnt
  • interesting anybody can do anything with hard work and dedication
  • it don't open up too many stores to quickly that you have a Subway effect.
  • went there once, it was really salty, good, but very salty. To the point where I could take the spice but not the salt, even the milkshake couldn't help. And $16? I would rec trying it but wouldn't go there again
  • @erich6860
    They just opened up one near Detroit. I love it. I can handle the reaper, but it's pretty hot LOL. Good luck.
  • You couldn't pay me to believe those are chicken tenders that chicken that they serve are the size of chicken breast when have you ever seen a chicken tender be the whole size of a hamburger bun
  • @Wild_Cat
    The truth of dave's hot chicken is that it's nothing special, it's just Nashville style chicken, period.
  • @usash19
    this is liitterally the most average tasting chicken
  • @tomgos9545
    Daves hot chicken needs to come to Cincinnati, Ohio
  • So when have you really ever paid $15.14 for one piece of chicken let alone two pieces of chicken and some french fries wow
  • @taylorb5229
    Dave's Hot Chicken is probably way better than Raising Cane's, which is way overhyped 🤷🏾‍♀️😏
