This place is GOOD! I loved my sandwich. The chicken to breading / seasoning ratio was spot-on. The acoustics in this place suck though, it was soo loud and the staff is fairly unpleasant for the most part. Just loud and visibly over it. Lol you can tell they don't want to be there. But that's fine as long as my food comes out hot and yummy. Wish there was an option to sit outside to escape the noise. Also, the Hot is HOT. The sliders are full sized sandwiches

Sliders were good , good spice on the hot ones . I was disappointed at how runny the mac n cheese was . It's like a fresh milkshake with cold fries . But overall I'd try it again .

It was good. Better leftover. I went for lunch and got something spicy. The chicken tenders were really big so a small order is cool.

It's nice to have a hot chicken option in Indy now! The chicken itself is high quality and tastes good, the hot level was pretty spicy and the mild was very flavorful. However, the sides were average at best. The Mac and cheese was creamy, but bland, and the fries weren't very good honestly, the dipping sauce helped a lot though. I would recommend a slider vs the tender 1.) because I ordered one of each and the chicken on the slider was much larger and 2.) the slider bun and coleslaw topping with the chicken was a great comb... read more

Situated on Mass Ave, Dave's offers something Indy doesn't quite have much competition on... Nashville-style hot chicken. The menu is short and sweet, you won't have a hard time deciding what to order - it is very straightforward. The chicken itself is white and incredibly juicy. We were very impressed with the quality. The seasoning (outside of the heat) of the fried chicken has a unique spin that I really enjoyed. I got Mild and Medium for my 2 Tenders and felt they were pretty accurate spice levels. The "sliders" are ba... read more

This place recently opened on Mass Ave and offers some delicious hot chicken. They've got the spice for sure. I just got medium level and really enjoyed it, my friends got Extra Hot and one bite had me sweating (I like to think I can handle spice)! You can also sign a waiver for their hottest level-- "The Reaper". We heard lines can be really long here since opening (up to 45 min), but it was surprisingly not bad on a Friday around 6pm! We had no line. Fries were so good, and their sauce is kickin. I'd recommend!

Overall pretty good hot chicken. The tender was a little too salty for my liking, but I really enjoyed the sandwich. Mostly likely will be back! Nice spot to visit Downtown Indianapolis.

I enjoyed my experience at Dave's. The food was really fresh and came out pretty fast. There was a line, fairly because it's new.. but the service was great. The cashier was very knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered a chicken slider with the sauce "Hot" and boy was it hot! I enjoyed my food, and I think a lot of people would too! I heard mid reviews and had to try it myself. Great addition to the Mass Ave.
