Really good experience at this Dave’s location. The food was fresh and came out quick, and the overall vibe was great. Service was smooth and everyone was helpful. Jeffrey was friendly as well. Definitely coming bacK!
The food was great. It's fast food.. so five stars for fast food... not fine dining. Everything tasted fresh. The employees were efficient. Not super friendly but effective. There weren't a lot of places to sit so it's probably better to go when it's not a commonly busy dining time.
It was lunch time on the second day of Dave’s grand opening and the atmosphere was absolutely fantastic and friendly. Hostesses smiled and tactfully managed the long line of customers while handing out menus to each perdon. Customers of all ages were giggling and grinning as information about the opening had spread and was well-known on social media and throughout the city. There were plenty order-takers, cashiers and food prep staff. Orders were prepared at a steady and timely pace. Customers were given an order alert box. The wait was not long as the line moved at a steady pace. There was ample seating inside and outside. The food was exceptional. The real crinkle fries were delicious, Not mushy. The cheese was very flavorful. Not fake. The tenders and sliders were well seasoned and moist. Not wet or dry. The pickles were crispy and quite tasty. Portions were ample and the price was reasonable. Everything was delicious. Dave’s is given a well-earned five and will be placed on my list of favorites.
The Best place I have been to, to have chicken love it here and love the environment and atmosphere. But definitely the Fruity Pebbles milkshke is the BEST!!!!
Very good, hot food and always filling. Enjoyed the experience. Will be coming back!
This is the Dave’s Hot Chicken location I had the nerve to try the reaper chicken sandwich! Didn’t know that you had to sign a waiver before eating the sandwich, but by then I was already committed 🤦🏾♂️. For the first few bites that I was able to actually taste, the chicken sandwich was very seasoned and extremely spicy 🌶️. The heat level to the reaper sandwich is 10 times hotter than the extra hot chicken sandwich (my opinion), which is only one level below the reaper. Although I was able to get through the entire thing, I would absolutely never try the reaper sandwich again 🤣. The reaper sandwich is definitely not for the faint of heart. You have to really have a high tolerance to be able to handle the heat that comes off of this sandwich. Even with coleslaw and a milkshake, this sandwich burned for about 35 minutes after the last bite. The tenders are really delicious. They always give you a slice of white bread in which I always make a second sandwich out of. The reaper sandwich is definitely built different. Definitely give this place a try for one of the best chicken sandwiches. And if you like a challenge and/or extreme heat, shoot your shot at the reaper chicken sandwich. But beware, you have to sign a waiver to eat it and it is extremely hot. Follow more reviews @IG: Robthefoodguy @eat_n_critique
This Dave’s Hot Chicken location is great. Today I was greeted by three employees when I walked in, two were at the counter and one was looking through a kitchen window. The two employees at the front counter discussed some new options that were on the menu. I ordered the number for the single slider and fries with medium sauce. I’m very satisfied with my meal. I got it to go and I’m eating it right now. It is delicious cooked perfectly. The french fries have great texture too. NICE WORK!
Dave’s Hot Chicken in Owings Mills seriously lives up to the hype. The sliders were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the spice level was actually consistent with what I ordered (hot but still enjoyable). The fries were perfectly seasoned, and the staff was friendly and kept the line moving even though it was busy. The place was clean, the vibes were good, and I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m craving Nashville-style heat.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re craving bold flavor and juicy chicken, Dave’s Hot Chicken in Owings Mills is it! The food came out fresh, hot, and full of that signature spice that keeps you coming back for more. The sliders were perfect—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the pickles and slaw added the right crunch and coolness. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, and don’t sleep on the fries…they’re seasoned just right! The staff was friendly and helpful, even making sure we understood the heat levels (I went with Medium and it was the perfect kick 😋). The place was clean, and the service was quick—even during the lunch rush. Definitely a spot I’ll be returning to. If you love hot chicken done right, this is the place for you! 🔥🍗
If comfort food and mildly healthy choices came together, this would it. I tried the cauliflower at Dave's Hot Chicken, and listen… it did not come to play. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned like it has something to prove. You’d almost forget you’re not eating chicken. Almost! The spice levels? Choose your adventure. I went bold, and it definitely tapped me on the shoulder like, “You sure about that?” 🔥 Now let’s talk service, because that matters just as much as flavor. Quick, efficient, no unnecessary waiting around. Jeffrey at the Owings Mills location was super helpful. Overall: Flavor ✔️ Crisp ✔️ Speed ✔️ Regret from choosing too spicy ✔️😂 If you’re looking for a solid vegetarian option that still hits like classic comfort food, the cauliflower here is a sleeper hit. Just… maybe don’t try to prove anything with the spice level on your first visit.
