Was hearing about this spot for quite sometime and it's definitely not a bad spot to fill a hot chicken craving, but it does have some problems. To begin with the positives, the interior is very spacious, the staff is quite friendly, and the prices are definitely reasonable. I was also a big fan of their Strawberry Milkshake. Besides that, there are definitely a few problems I would like to point out. The first is that the levels of hotness are extremely underwhelming - for one, I got two 'Extra Hot' tenders and they were barely spicy. I thought this might be a one off experience, but a friend of mine who frequented this location also stated that this is usually the case. It is definitely a turn off for a hot chicken spot to have its second from the hottest flavor to not be hot in the slightest. I also wasn't a fan of the bread used with the sliders; have had much better quality toast at other hot chicken spots with similar prices. Otherwise, this is still a good establishment to visit when in Santa Rosa.

Always I go here because its right next door to my work and B I’ve never been disappointed with the portions and there are many levels of spice to choose from. MAKE SURE you try it with a little bit of honey packets they give you. It’s not the same without a little honey and that sauce they have. Employees are wonderful and very helpful

Had take out at this place and the food was great ? and will eat it again..

My favorite place to get chicken. The tenders are juicy and flavorful even if you don't like them super spicy you'll have a great piece of chicken. Their sliders have this amazing kale slaw on them that really balanced the flavors. My only issue is their fries, although they have improved since opening they definitely still need some tweaking.

I wanted to try dav3s hot chicken ever since they opened but wanted to wait a bit before I did so they can figure out any kinks and also to avoid the long lines. I'm so happy that I finally did. I tried there two slider combo which is more than enough food for one person. The chicken was so good, juicy and tasted real unlike some fast food chains. the flavors were on point. The staff was very accommodating and nice. I ordered through the website which was super easy to navigate and when I picked up my food it was fresh and hot! I will definitely be coming back.

Very tasty chicken! I always loved Hot Boyz chicken in Oakland and was very happy this opened in Santa Rosa. The chicken is nice and crispy with a great spice for medium heat. I prefer this chicken over chick fil e, and their fries are way better too because they’re not soggy and soft. If they’re busy, your food may take a little bit, but don’t go crying to Yelp when you have to wait 20 min during prime dinner time, they’re doing their best. Friendly staff too, have had no issues or complaints each time I’ve gone.

Good service I would for sure come again

Good hot chicken. Once the hype and lines died down it's been pretty easy and good quality every time I've ate there. Pretty fast takeout if ordering on their website as well.

Good tasting Chicken but the wait even with just 4 customer during non rush hour is too much.. the menu is same 2 dish and still the wait is kinda too much.its weird and not worth.

Solidly meh food. The tenders were good, but the rest wasn't worth the calories. The slider was quite mediocre, and the fries were lukewarm and limp. They forgot the cheese on the sliders, even though we paid extra. The Dr Pepper was getting weak - it definitely needed to be changed to a fresh bag of mix.Long wait time too.Not likely that we'll be back. If I'm going to get junk food, I'd rather go next door to Five Guys next time.
