Dave's Hot Chicken

This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken. The cashier was friendly and helpful, knowing it was our first time visiting. The restaurant itself has a vibe of urban energy, with lots of light and dizzy colors. The location is at a busy intersection where you can sit inside, look out the plate glass window, or sit on the patio on the other side. The menu itself is pretty limited to chicken (or "not chicken" - cauliflower) tenders and sliders with some different sides, slushies, and drinks. Be advised: "combos" only refer to the mix of tenders, sliders, and/or fries and do NOT include drinks. The chicken breading has spices, kind of like a rub or something with sweet and salty tastes, and it results in a moist, tender inside.
The outside is somewhat greasy but light and crispy. The fries were piping hot, crispy, and seasoned perfectly. Everyone I ate with said they were over-full, and most of the kids couldn't finish their food. The meal came to nearly $70 for one adult and three kids to eat and drink.

Food is delicious I think I even like it better than chick-fil-a.
The service is friendly but a little slow but it gets busy so it’s understandable.
I never eat there always to go.
I like the app.

First time trying this place.
Had the sandwich and tender combo.
I ordered it hot buffalo flavor.
Order took about 5 minutes to be ready.
It was hot and fresh.
Sandwich had a kale relish, which added a nice crunch.
The sauce was delicious and just hot enough.
I asked for my fries to be well done, and they were.
Enjoyed the meal.
Dining room a little crowded and set up a little strange.
