Dave’s Hot Chicken

Chicken is chicken, just with their own different levels of spiciness. Good portion sizes. Love their mac and cheese fries. If you love spicy chicken, this place is for you.

To start, this is my first time at any Dave's hot chicken. I won't be going to canes ever again i can tell you that. The staff was super friendly and very attentive. I cannot remeber for the life of me what the young mans name was. I believe it was Michael? He was working hard to make sure I got what I wanted and while they were not very busy when I was there I saw him cleaning and setting up the floor, wiping chairs, stocking things getting ready for the dinner rush I assume. The back end wasnt loud and obnoxious. They were doing the same from what i could tell. I ended up getting the tender meal with the spice level hot. I would describe the heat level like flaming hot chetos. Its not super hot but it does build up but your second tender. Bread was good, pickles were great, fries were good but ill skip the seasoning next time. The chicken was freaking juicy! The dry seasoning stayed on them very well. The sauce that it comes with is a little like the other place I won't name again and I think it balances the heat very well. It came out quick but felt like they took time to make sure it was really good and not rushed. Ill be back for sure!!! Ps the chairs are not comfortable, but what place has good chairs anymore. The booth was rather comfortable though. The bathroom was freaking spotless! Great job staff! Hope yalls boss reads this because yall deserve the hype.

First time trying Dave’s Hot Chicken. I ordered one of their sliders, which comes on a potato bun with kale slaw, pickles, and a drizzle of Dave’s sauce. Sounds simple enough… but my sandwich showed up looking like it was fighting for its LIFE 😭😂 The chicken was crazy looking and sticking out a whole mile past the bun (pics say it all). I’ve never seen a sandwich this chaotic in my life. Flavor-wise, it was just okay. Nothing special. Honestly, the fries were the best part of my meal. I just wish the sandwich tasted better and didn’t look like it was attempting to escape the bun. Overall, the food wasn’t amazing, but the presentation was straight-up comedy. If you want a normal-looking sandwich, good luck… but if you want dinner AND a laugh, this is the place. 😂🍗🔥

Can now say that I have tried it. Nothing to bring me back. Fried pickles $8.00 … total of 10 bites and not at all impressive. Nothing special about the chicken. Overall, disappointed. I will say that the fries were delicious …. Crispy and a lovely seasoning. The attendant who waited on us was super nice and helpful.

Sitting in drive through now making this ! Guy at the window is so nice, I’m a restaurant manager and he asked me every question about what came on my order and if I wanted to add any extras,etc. He was very kind and had a smile on his face the whole time, definitely coming back just because of the customer service!

Customer service was good. Food usually really good. Today on the other hand I asked for my chicken sandwich with cheese only Dave's sauce on the side they decided to put kale slaw inside, embedded into my sandwich. See attached

I think this place just overtook Chick-fil-A in my life. The food was fantastic. The portions were just right. And I highly recommend having a shake with your food. Go ahead, dip those fries in that delicious ice cream. You won’t be sorry. I went with a fruity pebble. How about you?

Very great first time experience! Tyler was awesome at the counter and helped us out with what we wanted to order. I got the slider by itself (extra hot) my husband and daughter got the #1, 2 tenders with fries (mild). My daughter also ordered a mountain berry blast slushie and it was very good and refreshing. They also offer a variety of canned beers. I ordered the Art Car IPA. We will be back!

Second time here and it's pretty good! My kids and I enjoy the no spice slider and tenders! It's like Cane but with flavor and spice. I add honey to my slider with extra pickles. Location is pretty new and clean. The service is pretty nice too, Elijah was behind the counter and was super helpful

Super delicious! I highly recommend it. It's my first time trying it, and it tastes great and was warm and fresh. The service was very friendly.

I've been many times and it never disappoints, I love the environment and the people here. Th food is always fresh and top tier.

Food was wonderful, Service was even better! I loved the vibe of the place as well! Would recommend to someone else!

Tried this place for the first time today. The food was great. Chicken was moist and flavorful! Service was great. Loved the local art on the walls. Will come back!

Great place to bring the family for some great chicken sandwiches. shakes are also amazing!!!

Customer service was terrible. The food is awesome, but when I went to ask about my order--which took 45 minutes for just one plate of two pieces of chicken and fries--one employee laughed at me for asking why it was taking so long. Instead of saying something like, "It's about to come out, we'll take care of you," I was met with laughter in front of the manager. The ready makes it bad service to me even if the food is good.

Dave's hot chicken in new Caney texas always has phenomenal service and the food is amazing.

Waited 25 minutes just to be told they got no CHEESE!!!!!!!! Bruhhhh you guys killing me. They tried to make it up wit a slushy which is cool but na that was un called for a simple "yo we don't got cheese ready you want to cancel this" would've sufficed but no communication and had me waiting there? People in line left waiting for me. I had people honking at me thinking I probably ordered the whole freaking menu.

10/10 omg the food is so good! I keep wanting moreeeee the staff is so kind and helpful the inside is spacious and not overwhelming I will be coming back.

Nice, clean restaurant. Yocelyn had great customer service, and helped us out with the menu. Food was pretty good. Not the best hot chicken I've had, but it was good. I got the Dave's single, Extra Hot, and I didn't think it was that hot, will try the Reaper next time. Got the Dave's Bites for my kids and it was enough for them to share, about 10 bites, and they enjoyed them!

Sooooo delicious!!! Y'all I don't even have photos because I eat it soo fast. I order via Uber Eats and it was fantastic! I love the Nashville hot and the mild! The pickles are on point. The spiciness, seasoning, crispness and sauce are fantastic!! Run to Dave's Hot Chicken!!

I ordered the #1 and got RAW CHICKEN. I noticed after I had already eaten half of it and when Dave's Hot Chicken was notified I was told that they were following all the right procedures and all they could do was refund my meal.

This chicken is solid. We tried the three lowest levels of spice, because, yea well, I'm a chicken. They were all good. The sliders were delicious, as were the smaller bites and the strips. The fries and cheese fries were great. I like the pickles included with the meal. The vanilla shake was spot on.

Besides the AMAZING friendly service, this place knows how to do HOT Chirken!!! YUM-O!! These kids are awesome and are so welcoming and quick to serve up your order. It is always fresh and HOT and the most crispy chirken and fries!! I do wish the side mac n cheese was a larger size for what you pay but otherwise have no complaints. And really, is that a complaint or wishful thinking? Lol Thanks y'all. See you next date night!

HOT!! We ordered two Dave's #4 1 Slider "hot" , kale slaw, pickles and Dave's sauce with Fries. This was the perfect temperature of spicy for me. Spicy but not so much that it was burning my mouth. Chicken was super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Pickles we fresh and had a snap to them. Slaw was good. I would have liked more. The fries were fresh, hot and crispy too. Great service. Clean restroom. I would definitely recommend, especially if you love a good sandwich.

The place was clean, and the staff was super friendly. The food was fresh, delicious, and cooked to perfection. I had the hot spice chicken slider and it was delicious !!! Great flavor with just a little kick.

Presentation was good. Mac and cheese was watery cheesy. Chicken overall was tasty but dry. And the milkshake was 10/10 my favorite thing. The pickles were also very very good. Price was a little steep. $38 for 2 meals and a side with 2 drinks. Service was okay. The girl in the front didn't seem to have patience and we were the only people there.

Very engaged team. Which I appreciate these days where most places you go the apathetic behavior runs rampant. I ordered medium hot and it was good. Brought out allergen chart (nice to see) but couldn't tell me if MSG was in chicken or condiments. But they cared. Chicken was good. I was just nervous about ingredients. Mac & Cheese was good. Do the bread thing like Tumble 22 which doesn't use msg

I need the number to upper management not the restaurant manager Nicole the complaint is about her. Is there anyone who could possibly help me?

Wish this place had more dipping sauce options. The heat from the chicken is a bit dry. Kinda like a dry rub with a lot of butter. Dipping sauce is a thick mayo base that leaves you wanting something creamier. Cheese fries were really good. The service was fast and friendly. The art is cool and the place is clean with plenty of space. They do not have fresh brewed iced tea. That is another knock for me. It is not hard to brew fresh tea! My hubby and kids enjoy this place and they will continue to support. As for me, I can live without this one. Sorry

Great flavor and sliders are huge!!! Honey is a must and Hot is the perfect amount of heat but go for extra hot if you're feeling adventurous. The strawberry shake is pretty good. Service is always with smile!

My first time experiencing Dave's Hot Chicken wasn't that bad...the place was really clean and very well organized...the service was ok...but only because it appeared that all the employees were teenagers...and they were more interested in talking to each other...but I was young once so I understand...but let's talk about the chicken...I think I got a #2...which is a slider and a chicken strip...I got it at medium heat...which was more than enough for me...the flavor of the coating was good...but the actual chicken was lacking in that department...but it was juicy...I often drive by this location...and the only reason I stopped was because of the commercial...so good job on getting me in...all in all...I will be back...good job

I am from out of town but when I come to New Caney to visit family I always stop at Dave's Hot Chicken. Well this time I was very disappointed because the chicken strips were much thinner! What happened? I don't know if it's worth the price anymore...

Great chicken sandwich!! The atmosphere is hippy and clean!! The servers are very tentatively

The best I could give is 3 stars. Food was just over bland, fries were good though. Dave's sauce was pretty good. I won't have to visit another Dave's again now that I've tried it. Service was friendly and quick at the drive through

This place is horrible! If you go through drive thru window expect it to take at least 20 minutes and then you receive cold food and usually the wrong food. I have been 3 times, every time gets worse! Other locations are great; this one horrible and don't plan on returning!!!

Had a #1 meal. Single tender with Extra hot. They said I had to sign a waiver for reaper, so I skipped it. It was pretty tasty. It was hot but also had good flavor. Fries were good and crispy, just the way I like them. I got it to go and I think they forgot the Dave's sauce, so.... There's that. I think it was good, for the occasional stop in. Service was good. The young girl could not wait to talk to her brother in the parking lot though. I guess I was taking to long for a first timer. Also a signed said check in for free milkshake, I am still waiting for that. 4 stars.

Great service, when I crave hot chicken I usually come here for the good food. The atmosphere is pleasant and comfortable. Will continue to recommend.

Was good and spicy nicely done. Fries crunchy and seasoning was on point. They just do tenders and sliders with those tenders. Simple but good

FAST SERVICE GREAT FOOD !! Love the Atmosphere 10/10 Hot Chicken Slider the bomb !!!!

Very good! Me and my husband loved it. We both ordered the extra hot chicken slider and fries, and a order of the Mac and cheese to try out. The food was very flavorful and delicious. The service is so great everyone is so friendly and inviting. One of the store leads went around to check on everyone to make sure everything was good which was nice she was very friendly. We will definitely be coming back soon!

Amazing food I really like it a lot and will come back again !!!!!!!!service was great ambiance was amazing

pure dry chicken no flavor AT ALL! Customer service was awful the tenders Aren't even spicy on top of that its overpriced and low quality chicken i would rather eat chicken shit instead of this garbage! Never going again Dave's hot chicken will never change and will flop it gets worse every new establishment they make it gets worse take my warning don't spend your money on this chicken its horrible and low quality for the price to Don't recommend at all Save your money people! p.s the only reason u find it flavorful and juicy is because your white! due to ur lack of seasoning

This is a new storefront that pooped in valley ranch. Not bad, at 48 I should know better than to try the hot tenders. However, I did, anyways, very tasty and hot I don't think I'll try the next two level. We will go back to try the level below.

I asked 3 times for no pickles on my slider...wait, I asked 4 times if you include the affirmation as it was handed to me. I got home and...PICKLES!

The food was awesome we had the two slider meal they made one extra hot and one medium clearly marked each slider . The service was excellent. Just be careful extra hot is hot and the meals are perfect for sharing

I visited for the first time and ordered the Single Tender combo. I also added a tender thinking one would not be enough. However, one tender was definitely enough for me. I loved the fries but wasn't impressed with the tender. It was juicy but the medium heat just seemed to have a lot of seasoning as opposed to spice (heat). Reaper is the hottest option for heat and I was told you have to sign a waiver for it, so I was expecting at least a little kick from the medium. On my next visit, I'll go with the regular tender so I can fully enjoy the meal.

The chicken is well seasoned and very juicy. The cheese fries are really good too. They put cheese all over the fries not just the top. The food is very expensive it's crazy. Id probably come once or twice a year because of the prices. But I will say that the food is constant with taste and portion sizes.It looks really nice inside and the employees are cool too.

The first time going here, the food was very over seasoned. The chicken was a little bit undercooked the service was not so great also. The workers are kind of rude and the atmospheres just ehh for me. Definitely don't recommend going here. Hopefully they see this review and things change.

Pulled up at 2:18 pm did not get food until 2:40 pm only 3 customers inside. Be prepared to wait !!

Food was hot and service was what you can expect these days (kids standing around behind the counter). It happens now and again Dave's hot chicken is just not my thing.

Tried few times, for some reason chicken was always extra oily and chicken size is a Toss up! You never know what you will get. One small piece with a regular size piece. Paying $14 for 2 tenders for a meal and not able serve the proper size is cheating the customer. Inflation got everyone spooked!!! Revised 07/21/23 Tried again, Combo #4, served perfect!! Taste was awesome, sides were generous, Tenders were big enough for an Adult :). I am back with 5 Stars.

Great food, the place is always clean, and service is always good. The price is kinda up there but there's no other places making actually spicey chicken.

I don't like leaving bad reviews, but this time I think it was well deserved. Tuesday evening (12-26-2023)we ordered in the drive through and we waited for at least 45 minutes. Finally we got to the window and the service was just horrible. We got to the window cause all the other cars left with no food. There was nobody tending to the window. I get it if they were short staffed but at least acknowledge us at the window, we could have waited longer to get the food. She just wouldn't come to the window to take our payment. Horrible experience

Great fresh flavors! Nice sauce just wish they had ranch too. Will be back...better than chic fil a

The chicken is delicious!! The "hot" level was hot but not too hot- just right! Medium was delicious too. My mom and I split the slider/tender meal and couldn't finish it. Super generous portions. Elijah provided great service- super nice young man! Cute decor too.

Great chicken. Lots to pick from and not a bad price! Convenient location, clean restaurant with good atmosphere. Top it off with a nice shake.

Horrible chicken no flavor at all lack of juiciness and spice and seasoning the only reason u find it good is because your white and lack seasoning! horrible customer service to.
