By offering delicious meals with chicken as the centerpiece, Dave’s Hot Chicken and Popeyes create some of the best environments to grab a quick bite with some friends.
Dave’s Hot Chicken is very similar to Asad’s Hot Chicken. Both restaurants offer amazing sliders and have special sauces unique to their chain.
While Asad’s is superior to Dave’s, Dave’s Hot Chicken also offers a lot that Asad’s does not.
For example, Dave’s has a much larger menu and is much more diverse in its contents of their menu. Dave’s offers more meal options than Asad’s, such as mac and cheese and loaded fries.
The mac and cheese that Dave’s offers is the best fast food mac and cheese that we have ever tasted. It is very creamy but not runny, and the amount of cheese in it is perfect.
Dave’s offers a great slider, too. The sauce that they put on the slider is tasty, but not overpowering. Also, the spice level of Dave’s is very tolerable and doesn’t get too hot.
Dave’s also has really amazing loaded fries with all sorts of vegetables, chicken and sauce mixed in with it.
Dave’s is also relatively new to the Souderton area; their newest location opened on May 2 in Quakertown.
We decided to go the day after it opened, and there was a line out of the door to get some scrumptious chicken.
This highlights the large demand for restaurants such as Dave’s, which have become a staple fast food nationwide.
In addition to the awesome chicken offered by Dave’s, Popeyes is another restaurant that we decided to visit, and we were not disappointed by the food.
Popeyes is, obviously, a very popular and well-known restaurant, however neither of us have ever eaten there.
And our first time there blew us away. The tenders were sweet but crispy and the added biscuit to the meal rounded the whole thing out.
There is nothing worse in a tender than taking a bite with the thought of crispy deliciousness and being utterly disappointed with soft and damp chicken.
Popeyes’ perfect fry of their chicken allowed us to avoid this tragedy.
Popeyes’ greatness did not stop with their tenders.
When we walked into the restaurant the first thing that we noticed was the overall feel that the restaurant gave off.
The decorations and the wood walls created a sort of at-home atmosphere that was very welcoming.
Dave’s Hot Chicken is a fantastic restaurant with really great food and the taste and chicken option they offer makes it better than Popeyes, in general.
However, if given the option we would go to Popeyes.
This is because while Dave’s is great, it’s not even the best restaurant that serves hot chicken.
As we wrote when we reviewed chicken restaurants in the April edition, Asad’s also serves a very similar menu to Dave’s and both menus are very good.
But, Asad’s beats Dave’s in almost every single category.
Im‘peck’able local chicken-based restaurants
To create a great environment to eat good chicken with friends, both Dave’s Hot Chicken and Popeyes cater to a hungry audience while making their chicken.
Digging into greatness…During a trip to Popeyes, Arrowhead Entertainment Editor Connor Rother enjoys some fries, in addition to some juicy fried chicken. Popeyes has been serving a wide variety of chicken since 1972.
