Dave’s Hot Chicken was a great place to stop for food and honestly from what I’ve had I think it’s the best chicken spot in Binghamton (though my knowledge of Binghamton chicken isn’t extensive). As a whole I believe the diner deserves a 4/5, the service was wonderful and the man at the counter was incredibly friendly. I ordered the Dave’s Numbers 1 and 2, splitting them between me and my son, and we both enjoyed the food! (PS, The sandwiches are definitely the way to go.) but I have to say we were a little disappointed at the lack of ranch dressing. Generally the atmosphere inside the restaurant was good, it was vibrant and felt very welcoming, eating here made me feel like I had found the perfect place to have had stopped for food, though I do admit it was quite loud inside the building which was a bummer since both me and my son would have loved to eat inside (not a fan of super loud areas), I think that issue could be pretty easily fixed if they added sound dampening on the sealing, if they did I believe the atmosphere would be perfect, it would decrease the echoes and make it 10x better. Overall a good experience but could be improved in a few areas, I’m honestly shocked that a place this good could have started in a parking lot with only 900$ and if I’m in the area again I’ll definitely stop by here.
