Service was fast. Chicken was cold, so cold it didn’t melt the cheese. No seasoning on chicken. A dust bit that’s the flavor of the chicken. The fries were ok. Sauce was ok. First time going won’t be back. Richardson, TX location. Disappointed.

The food was amazing! It was our first time and we loved it. The service needs a lot of work. There was a line but it moved fast and we were quick to place our order. It took 40 minutes to receive the food after ordering. Everyone else was receiving their food after a reasonable wait time except me and the couple that ordered right after us. I had to ask at the 30 min mark and then finally received it at 40 min. We ordered to eat in but received it all in a take out bag. We ordered a #1 (received a #1 but charged a #2 on the receipt) a #3 ( but only received 1 slider, tender was missing) and a #4 (but received and extra slider). We made it work since we got the total # of chickens that we asked for and could not wait any longer for them to correct it. The dining room is a mess! We were there for well over an hour and not once did anyone come out to wipe down tables as diners were leaving. Everyone that came in had to sit at a dirty table if they wanted to dine in. An employee, in uniform, was eating at the far back right corner table during dinner rush ( Friday night 5:30). When the employee finished they also did not wipe down the table and left it dirty for the next diner. The overall service is unimpressive for a location that just recently opened (Cicero, NY). We will go back because the food was fabulous but we will not be dining in and will definitely check our order before leaving.

This place has it all. I ride my bike past here all the time and wanted to try out the "not chicken". So I went in and asked about it, the the young guy kind of went bluescreen when I asked about it, but fortunately there was a lady working there who looked a bit more management level and was able to explain to me that it's cauliflower, and not really vegetarian, as the batter has egg in it etc. OK fine, dandy, I like cauliflower. What I was really hoping was that they'd come up with some sort of patty; I had in my mind some sort of thing halfway between falafel and surimi, but chicken-y.Nope. it's just cauliflower. And if you've wondered when we'd come to a time when a cauliflower sandwich would be $10, well, we've arrived at the time.I got the "nuggets" and they're pretty large, battered and deep fried cauliflower florets. Good and greasy too! I had grease actually falling into the dipping sauce. Grease all over ... well ... everything. My only regret is they're not doing this with zucchini or broccoli because I love those vegetables but then I guess it'd be more vegetable-y than chicken-y...This place has it all, though. Sticky floors? Check! High prices? Check! (Everyplace has high prices now.) Noise? Check! The soundtrack of this place is a combination of various bits of machinery doing, uh, necessary things no doubt, and Boomer music.And I mean classic Boomer music. I mean, I'm on the young end of Boomer myself and it's the same music I heard when I was a little boomster in the mid-70s, riding with my Mom in our Chrysler Town & Country wagon, listening to the AM radio. Older Boomers will probably associate the music with their high school or young adult days, which is pretty much the aim - kinda like how supermarkets when I was a little-little used to play 1940s Big Band music because people in their 50s and 60s were the biggest spenders.The whines and clanks kind of drowned out the vintage tunes, though, as the grease kind of drowned my appetite in long-chain hydrocarbons.I didn't finish my cauliflower, although I made good inroads on the breading, and due to the greasiness and the huge wad of napkins I was given, I felt like I'd accomplished something, as one is supposed to when one goes to a fast-food restaurant. Ideally, you've created a small mountain of greasy paper goods and plastic bits.So check it out. Dave's Not Chicken. It's not chicken. It's not vegetarian. It's ... cauliflower.

First time experiencing Dave’s hot chicken and I really liked it and it’s Delicious I’ve got 1 medium and 1 super hot with fries. I didn’t like the buns, they are flat and pressed but the Vibe here is really cool everyone would love it.The primary concern is service, why would one tip if it’s all self service ? I know what I want to order so I did and trying to pay and I choose no tip but the person behind counter acted rude and didn’t care the question I’ve asked, they all expect tips but for what service ? I wish and hope they get paid well by company.

Food is great, but doesn't match the dining experience. Its one notch lower than Popeyes in cleanliness and decor.

I visited at the recommendation of a local. I needed to get back on my side of town so I opted to use the order online service which was very easy to use. I arrived about 5 minutes later and found that there was plenty of parking. Upon entering my food was ready right away. Service was fast and the staff were very kind. The experience was great. When I got to my food it was fresh and hot. You can tell that the fries were cooked to order. The chicken was just not my favorite. I got the two tenders hot. They were massive and kind of rubbery. The seasoning is similar to hot Cheetos. For those who like that type of flavoring I would recommend a visit here! Unfortunately the type of chicken is just not my personal preference.

No one is paying attention to the signs?? Not just one but two signs of “Not” chicken.
The food here is always great! I've been coming here for quite sometime! The service is absolutely fantastic and food is consistently excellent! The inside of the place is super nice and always well kept! I would recommend giving this place a try if you're into fried chicken sandwiches!Parking: Tons of spots to park!

Every location is going to look cool, service is friendly.. but as far as food, raising canes is way way better.. they overpower their chicken with so much spiciness that way you can’t tell how unflavorful their chicken really is.. we tried it out to see what the hype was and wellIf your wondering if it’s worth all the hype.. it is not.. go to raising canes..

Food was good but I wish they have different taste on different levels of spices rather just adding extra chilies layers.
