Had a pleasing experience overall with this chicken restaurant :) Any spice levels up to medium are not spicy whatsoever in my opinion. The medium spice level includes tajin (interesting). The chicken itself is tender and easy to enjoy. I wouldn't say it's juicy, but soft and just right. The brioche buns are on the sweeter side and pair fine with the chicken. I just feel like it's missing a signature sauce and crunch; there could be more to it. The fries are fantastic! Their pickles are good. Servers are very considerat... read more

First time I ever had Dave's was in Vegas. I got it togo back to my hotel room and I thought it was delicious. Although..it was past midnight and we had a few drinks at the casino beforehand. So of course seeing that this Dave's Hot popped up closer to home, we had to give them another try (sober!). Dave's Hot Chicken took over Koja's Kitchen. I was curious to see why their signage said "Dave's Not Chicken." Was it a typo? Did they rebrand? Come to find out that they also serve plant-based sliders, which are made out of ca... read more

Chicken sandwich was alright. The chicken itself did not taste juicy and tender. The place is clean. Plenty of parking but it does get packed depending on the time you arrive. The customer service is outstanding!

First time having hot chicken sandwich and it didn't disappoint! For $10.99 you get fries and a hot chicken slider! Usually my spice tolerance is terrible but I was able to handle the medium spice! Plenty of parking for the plaza and this place opens late for those late night munchies!

This is my favorite go-to spicy chicken spot, they serve up a perfect sandwich. I get the "hot" level and the heat is perfectly balanced by the slaw and the pickle. The special sauce kicks it up a notch. Even the seasoned crinkle cut fries are delicious (and I'm usually not a fan of crinkle cut). Also hats off to the amazing service at this location. Every time I've picked up food, the staff were super courteous and the food was served fast. It's refreshing to get great food with great service.

Came here to try some hot chicken. I ended up getting "lite mild" and it had the teeniest bit of flavor but not at all spicy. It was right up my alley. If I'm brave next time, maybe I'll try mild. Haha. I ended up with combo #3, which came with one tender and one slider/ I think I would've been fine with one slider, which they have. The cost is not too bad but the combos only come with the chicken and fries. Drinks are separate. Seen other places where combos are way extra so that's nice it comes with fries at least. The chi... read more

Gave this place a shot while hungry. Got a chicken sandwich with fries. They have about eight levels of heat to choose from so I went with medium. They have good customer service and the restaurant is very clean. The chicken is just average. It was juicy but not very crispy. Their flavor comes from the heat and nothing else. You can put honey on it but I wanted a flavorful chicken, not a pour honey on a chicken. Not bad but not anything special.

I've been following Dave's Hot Chicken on socials for a minute, and have been dying to try it. Now that I'm in an area where they have locations, I finally got my chance. The chicken sandwiches were really special. And the medium spice level was very manageable. I'll probably go a little hotter next time. My only real complaint was that I wanted more of the sauce on the sandwiches, and the side cup they provided didn't really make that easy. Although, that's honestly a pretty small complaint. I'd very much recommend stopp... read more
