Dave...the man you are. Dave's hot chicken is by far the best chicken spot I've had so far in my life. This is legit because it's also going on yelp and I have to stay objective. Let's go over the big ones. First off, food. Come on. Seriously? The chicken is crispy and spicy, the perfect combo. The reaper is for daredevils, but the extra hot is a chill time for everyday spice lovers. The chicken is cooked to crispiness-heaven. The fries? Crinkle-cut greatness. Might I add Mr. Dave's sauce? It's hard for me to understand why ... read more

The food here is definitely tasty -- I ordered the 2-slider meal (lite mild) and was impressed with how flavorful it was without being overly spicy. The mac and cheese was creamy and delicious, a solid side dish that complemented the meal well. That said, the wait in the drive-thru was super long, which was frustrating. Also, for nearly $20 for just one meal and drink (with the drink priced separately), it feels a bit overpriced for what you get. Overall, great flavor and solid quality, but the long wait and high price kee... read more

I work everywhere around the city of Chicago and the suburbs. Every time I'm in Naperville I stop here because it is just that good. The staff at Dave's Hot Chicken are always super nice. The food is amazing, I always get the Hot spice level and definitely needs the Dave's sauce to help cook it down. The chicken is always perfectly cooked and fresh. The music inside is a little loud but very clean and has a good vibe to it. HIGHLY recommend trying Dave's Hot Chicken by far my favorite stop in Naperville

I wanted something quick so I could get back to the hotel for a meeting. I chose this place because it said they had a drive thru. I couldn't find the drive thru so I went in. I should have walked out when I seen all the people standing around waiting. I placed my order #4 (hot sandwich, fries and a drink). It took me almost 25 min to get my order. They were focusing on drive thru and mobile orders more so than in store orders. I finally got my order and left. I had high hopes because so many people were getting food the... read more

Dave's hot chicken has been the talk of the town for quite some time and I knew that I had to go check it out! We went in on a Friday night and the place was packed! Their menu is quite simple - you can get sliders, tenders, fries, Mac n cheese, shakes, and a few other items! We got the Dave's #2 which comes with 2 sliders and some fries with an extra tender on the side. Their chicken comes in different spice levels - we got the medium but I would totally get the hot next time! The meat is cooked to perfection - crispy on ... read more

It was just "meh" for me. Not great, not terrible. Also, the fries were good but way too salty. 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the fries but understand if the salt level was a bit much. If there’s anything specific we can do to make your experience better, please feel free to reach out at dhcfeedback.com. We’d love the chance to make it up to you and ensure your next visit is more than just “meh.”
