Reviews for Dave's Hot Chicken in Wilmington, NC
Staff was very friendly, greeting us as soon as we walked in the door. The girl at the front was very patient with me and my... partner as we were new to this food spot. She answered any questions I had and ultimately my partner and I ended up on flavormild. Mild has a kick to it so if you cant handle heat, that should be your stopping point. It is pricey, we got 2 combos of 2tenders and fries and 1 regular drink for $30. The tenders are HUGE. We both got filled with one tender. Fries are great withgood seasoning. Sauce was not my favorite as it tasted more like mayo than anything else. I would return to explore the menu abit more. Read more
The only sauce option they have is Dave's Sauce. Which tastes great on both the chicken and the crispy fries. Not the cheapest... prices for fried chicken though. The 2 PC tender meal comes with fries and white bread. The slide meal comes with 1 tender, 1slider and fries. Both meals where around $12 ( not including drinks). Drinks are a separate fee.The chicken portions and friesare filling. There and several heat levels to choose from. I chose medium which I felt was comfortable. If you don't like heator spice stay under medium. I felt the chicken was more on the greasy side which is why only 4 stars. And for a chicken mealwith plain bread and no drinks included the price was sort of high. but the food and sauce are good and the urban streetinterior is cool. Read more
My hubby and I had gotten word of this place through some friends and decided to stop in while running errands. We were greeted... by the young man behind the counter warmly and he explained the entire menu to us. He was super friendly and we were alreadyhooked. We both ordered number 3s medium & I got a side of Mac and cheese. Our food came quickly and hot. It was SO GOOD. Theseasoning is excellent, the chicken very crispy and breaded perfectly, and the Dave's sauce is bomb. I couldn't finish mine andhubby felt like being rolled out of there. Be warned, these are NOT sliders, they are full on sandwiches. ???? Such a greatexperience, we will be back... Maybe even for dinner. Read more
Stop here on a whim and glad we did. Very limited menu which can be good and bad but we didn?t mind. The chicken sliders were a... nice size. 1 slider was the size of a typical chicken sandwich. I got the medium sauce which was equivalent to hot but it wasstill tasty. Service was great and food came out fast. Read more
I was so excited to hear Dave's Hot Chicken finally came to North Carolina. They did NOT disappoint! The chicken was crispy on... the outside, juicy on the inside, and super flavorful (not just heat for heat's sake) ???????? I will be back, a lot. Read more
It's awesome! Simple menu with chicken strips and chicken sandwiches with some tasty sides and fries. The reaper is very hot,... but edible, extra hot is my favorite. Read more

Dropped in for dinner. Got the two tender meal with a small strawberry milkshake. Milkshake was thick and tasty. ?Extra hot?... sauce made me glad I had the milkshake. Fries were seasoned. No napkins in the dispenser. Read more
