LOVE ME TENDER(S) What Dave's Hot Chicken lacks in variety, they make up for in consistency. For the last couple years, I've been seeking the ultimate Nashville hot chicken experience, whether it's a sandwich or breaded tender. Some have come close (Fry the Coop) and others have been middling at best. Dave's makes a more-than-decent effort. Dave's Hot Chicken has a few locations in the Chicago area: on North Ave in Melrose Park, on Western Ave in the city, and this one in Naperville at the northwest corner of Route 59 &... read more

Decent chicken. Okay fries. They do have a good selection of varying heat to add to the chicken. You can also get your chicken with out heat.

It was okay. The breading was something I wasn't used to and it was fried a little more than necessary to be chicken breast strips. The service was fast and friendly. Did not eat in so I'm unsure of anything else.

Quick, high quality bites from this franchise! We had to make sure we were in Naperville and not Nashville! Environment: Order at the counter and pick up your own food. The place was packed when we visited (a Thursday afternoon), and we actually had to wait a few minutes to claim a table. The space is really small, but definitely got a sense of casual comfort as well. This place is the perfect spot for friends to grab a quick and delicious meal. Food: Even though it was busy, the food came out in 10-15 mins tops. We tried... read more

Outstanding all around. My girl loves the chicken slider without any heat or spice, just plain. I want extra hot and all the fixins. However, I go takeout and I'm 20 minutes away so instead of putting all the condiments on the sandwich and making it a mess during the ride, they'll put everything on the side. Great job, great staff. Also, fries are great but get side of cheese cup. Very impressed with everything other than the location which is kind of hidden so be aware when using Waze or Maps because it just pops... read more

This place has the most fire chicken. My girl and I got this for dinner, and we couldn't even finish our food because it's so filling and satisfying. #ChickenSandwich #ChickenTenders

Not Hattie B's in Nashville, but well-cooked chicken with some real good heat. Only drawback is the sauce, which was fairly tasteless and lack of ranch to have something to cool you down. The fries were very good but ask for them without the seasoning (paprika?). Also, one slider is plenty for one person, unless you have a huge appetite or plan to split the meal.

The food at this place is amazing! The menu is pretty basic chicken tenders/strips and chicken sandwiches. They call the sandwiches "sliders" but that's a bit deceiving they are larger than a traditional slider. I tried hot and extra hot, the hot was perfect, the extra hot was a bit too spicy for me but still very good. I see a lot of other reviews with people commenting that the prices are high, however I feel the portions are fairly large so price is justified IMO. The chicken is great with perfect crispy fried breading ... read more

Have a bucket of water after you finish your sliders and other chicken tenders. Cause it's spicy and has a bit of salt to make you thirsty
