    6-16-23 My brother told me about this place so I tried it out. It was my parents and me and took some to my brother. It's was 2 plates with 2 tenders and 2 plates with 1 slider and 1 tender. They come with fries no drink, that you have to get separate. For starters the staff there is amazing. The manager really was really attentive to us. He was a tall skinny guy with glasses I think his name stared with an E I just can't remember his name. Any who the food was delicious, great chicken great crunch perfect heat and awesome fries. Only negative is the price it's was almost $15 a pop with no drink. Smh but the food was great service was great and the restaurant was clean, small but clean.

    I heard so much about this place and had to see if it lived up to the hype! This chicken definitely exceeded my expectations! Another thing was the staff, they were all so friendly and helpful, making us feel very welcomed. Definitely coming back here for the REAL gods chicken! 💪 Also just wanted to add we had way more fries than this, it just looked so good i started digging in before the picture!!

    I tried Dave's Hot Chicken Tenders and I was impressed by the flavor of the spices & the juiciness of the chicken Tenders, the tenders are very big and flavorful, the fries are crispy and spiced up, the sauce is pretty good, I wasn't a Fan of the slices of bread on the Combo #1, I would much prefer a butter roll instead. I will definitely try the Slider in the future, I would definitely recommend the food here.

    I ordered drive thru to take home. On the way home, I realized the heat level was potentially serious; my nose caught that characteristic smell that is peculiar only to superhot peppers... The endorphin dump started on the 4th bite. The cap cramps started as soon as I was done eating, starting now. Really, really nice heat. One of the two pieces of chicken was thin, dry, and overcooked, but the second was thicker and cooked much better. Very juicy. I really appreciate the dry rub instead of a sauce. The rub is adhered so nicely to the chicken, which was still crispy after the car ride home. So much fun to try this restaurant, will be back again, many times.

    This is my first time coming here and I will definitely be coming back!! The staff is very friendly and the food is amazing! I bought a mild and a medium slider and there's a small kick of spice in the medium but it's very tolerable, next time I'll kick it up a notch and try hot. The building is really nice inside, you get lost in all the decor, and I got a laugh out of the famous valleys phrase "Puro 956" 😂 Overall 10/10 I recommend to everyone! 😊

    From the moment we walked up the front door, we were greeted by such friendly staff that opened our door, welcomed us and greeted us with a smile. The wavy fries, the creamy Mac & Cheese, the succulent, juicy yet flavorful and spicy chicken were all a mouthful to say the least. We had a mild slider, extra hot and a REAPER chicken strip and our mouths could hardly wait for the next bite! It was lovely to see complete families with their children, enjoy this deliciousness!!! The cool vibes of the staff, great music playing in the background and the eclectic and abstract graffiti art on the walls were a sight for sore eyes. We can hardly wait to come back with the whole family next time! My son Andrew signed the waiver and we dug in!!! Now, for that silky milkshake!!!

    Dave's hot chicken was well worth the wait and the hype! First...if you have an issue with the line at the drive thru...get off your car and walk. Get your steps in... The menu is fairly simple. At first it does feel pricey...I mean 1 tender and 1 slider for $13? No drink included.... but that meal is plenty for 2 people. I ate the slider and was plenty happy with it size and still had the tender left over. The pieces are huge! The meat was perfectly cooked...the spice was the right amount of heat, and the sauce complimented it. Is it the best sauce out there? Doesn't matter...it was the best sauce for their style of chicken. The place is quite packed most of the time...but that speaks for the food being served. They took my order quickly, and was served within 10 mins even though they had a packed house. If you decide to get in line...don't complain. There's always a door open to place an order...and the chicken is dynamite!

    Sliders and tenders were awesome!! The food was a little pricey and the only reason I couldn’t give 5 stars…but with the portions and size of the chicken makes sense. The kale slaw was surprisingly delicious usually not a Cole slaw dude. As for the chicken the brine is delicious. Multiple heat flavors. Pretty good spot. And it’s halal for anyone who eats halal

    First time here, the chicken tenders are delicious 🤤great size and the meat is very juicy and flavorful, bit of a Cajun twist to it . The fries are perfect. Make sure to order the macaroni and cheese 👌 I ordered the mild and it’s was good not to overly spicy, next time I’ll probably go up a level on spicy 🌶️

    The slider was good overall. The brine has good flavor. My favorite part were the fries, the seasoning is delicious. I would give this place five stars, but it’s quite pricey for the food. I paid almost $13 for a slider, fries, and a snall drink.

    After hearing my son talk on and on about the food here, I finally decided to try it. The chicken is some of the juiciest, tastiest chicken you will ever dine. Absolutely delicious. I had the tenders, and the serving portions completely filled me up. The meals don’t come with drinks, so it ends up costing a little more than what you’re used to. However, you’ll know where that extra change went to. I’m not a connoisseur of chicken, but I can guarantee you that this will be your new chicken to go place.
