My family visited here for lunch the other day. While chicken tender restaurants seem to be all the rage right now, I don't quite see the appeal. Dave's only sells chicken tenders. You can get them with or without buns and at 7 different heat levels. There is no sauce here...just a dry rub (it reminded me a little of Shake & Bake BBQ). My wife and son tried Medium heat, I had the Low mild and my daughters had No spice. We enjoyed our chicken but it was the greatest chicken we ever had (far from it, actually). Service ... read more

So yummy. A bit on the pricey side, but I think it's a worthwhile splurge every so often. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is so cool with grafiti covering the walls everywhere! Even on weekends, expect pretty quick service. I usually find myself getting my food within 2-8min, depending on how many are in front of me!

This is not your traditional hot chicken - it's more dusty and has kind of a sweet allspice like flavor. The chicken was very juicy and the tenders were huge, probably a full breast or at least a half. Don't be scared to go up the heat scale. We started with medium and wished we would have gone further. The fries are heavily seasoned. We were served almost immediately and the restaurant itself is nice and clean. I would recommend!

Let's be honest. Delivery is never the perfect way to experience a restaurant. I think it's especially not the perfect way to experience a restaurant for the first time. However, I've been grateful that some friends have recently donated some GrubHub gift cards as I work through some health issues and spend more time than usual at home. It just so happens that today I was working from home and decided to order lunch delivered. After browsing options, I decided to check out Dave's Hot Chicken. I ordered a 2-Tender meal wi... read more

I have been wanting to eat here since it opened. Got take out here last night. Showed up early and the food was ready. Came out hot and amazing. I got the one slider one tender meal. Slider -medium tender-hot both were amazing. Flavor wise I'd stick with medium. This place does hot chicken right!

I stopped in for lunch over the weekend. It's broad ripple so the parking situation is rough. Add in the street out front is under construction. The staff was friendly and helpful. The menu is super simple and the dining room was clean. I ordered one tender and one slider. These are massive tenders! It's more like a filet. I did not try the slaw. The food was good. They are loaded with seasoning and it's a bit overwhelming. Also even the mild was pretty hot. If you enjoy hot chicken I would check this place out.

This was my second time coming to one of these restaurants, and I was impressed again. Generous portions, and really strong flavors. I will definitely be back.

Service was good and I love the atmosphere! Also the food is halal which is awesome! However the chicken was salty. Otherwise definitely coming back!

I've heard about Dave's Hot Chicken for a while and I was excited to try it out today. Everything in front of broad ripple is a bit crazy right now with construction, but that's no reason not to venture out and try new places! Once the constructions is over, the Patio here will really be incredible! We still sat outside anyway, just a less exiting view. We ordered separate things but I had the mild and my husband had the hot. Both items were really good, just kind of messy with the dry rub. I used several napkins! I really e... read more
