Best friend chicken sandwich in Indy (and trust me we've tried most of them)! Easy to order online or in store. Space for seating inside, limited menu which I always like because that means what you get is going to be fabulous. The chicken is not heavily breaded (thank you!) lots of meat to it and absolutely delicious. You have different temps you can try, we did mild and it was right up our alley. The fries are also fine perfectly too, crinkle fries are always a hit or miss for me and they were a hit! Crispy and nicely se... read more

Pretty good! The textures were on point including the slaw and I really enjoyed thee fries and their seasoning. I also like how you get two sandwiches in one meal. The "hot" had a decently sharp heat to it but besides that I didn't get much flavor in the sandwich, might try medium or the tenders next time. The place is fast paced and always busy and loud, and the artwork on the walls is really cool. I also love that they are halal certified!

I had heard so many things about this place and was excited to try it at the only Indy location. This meal was more than enough for two of us, both of us took 1 home for later (it was also almost $40 for both). The sliders were huge. I really liked the sauce, and I added cheese to mine- perfect went on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy except for doordashers coming and going. the customer service was alright, not terrible but definitely not super friendly either. will def be back, I wish there was another Indy location other ... read more

I stopped by Dave's last night pretty late, and it did not disappoint. In fact, I scarfed it down so quickly that I did not get photos, sorry!! The interior of this restaurant is really neat; lots of graffiti art, colorful, spacious. It was clear to me that they were frying every piece of chicken to order, so everything was very very fresh. I really appreciated the attention to detail. I had the sliders, and they were both really big. I was only able to eat one and got to enjoy the other one for lunch the next day. You ... read more

Ok ..much respect to Dave's Hot chicken! I was skeptical but they proved m wrong! So the only chicken they serve are strips. They have 7 levels from zero seasoning ( but whyyy) to reaper. I settled with hot. Hot was good. Spicy without being overwhelming. This is not Thai hot...or African hot..you won't be sweating but it's enjoyable. The bread was sweet with big pickles and seasoned Daves sauce...The Dave sauce was a nice addition and you can ask for more. The crinkle fries were surprisingly good and had a dash of seasoned ... read more

Hot chicken is on the top of my list of favorite foods, so when Dave's Hot Chicken opened I knew I had to check them out. Overall, the food was good and the amount of time it took to receive our order was very fast. As a lover of hot food, I ordered the 'medium' spice level and will be back soon to try one of the hotter levels as I felt this wasn't as spicy as expected but still had a good flavor. As a lifelong midwesterner I do have to mention (the lack of) sauces. Dave's hot chicken has their own sauce that is served wit... read more

I love a good Hot Chicken Sandwich and I know they are the next best thing in Indy. The sandwich was really yummy! The perfect amount of spice but it took us about 15 minutes to get our To-Go order on a pretty light Sunday afternoon. The menu also seemed slightly overpriced. Worth it?? It's totally worth the try.

Came in on a Friday night to check out the new place. As a vegetarian, there is nothing here for you (except maybe Mac and Cheese and Kale Slaw). However, I really enjoyed watching my partner eat the "Reaper" chicken tender slider. We love, love, love spicy food at our hourse and I can let you know that this is indeed spicy--over a million scoville. Muy picante! You will probably break a sweat and maybe even shed a little tear while eating the sammich. I would highly recommend. The staff were really warm and welcomi... read more
