Love Dave's Hot Chicken! Their quality has been consistent in both of my takeout and delivery experiences. The spice levels can get spicy real quick, so I recommend exercising caution if heat is not your thing. It can get quite busy during peak hours for both drive through and dine-in, so expect a bit of wait. The service is always quick and friendly! Super clean inside and ample indoor seating if you don't want to sit outdoors.

The chicken tenders were cooked very nicely. Juicy and tender. The powder spice is a bit bizarre, but all in all, tasty.

I went by for free slider day and wasn't disappointed. I got the free slider (quite large as far as tiny sandwiches go) made "light heat". It was a notch above mild and had enough heat for me; although I often try the full heat too. The piece of thick chicken was as big as any very large chicken tender. Meaty and somewhat juicy, it was good. The pickles added to the flavor but were a bit mushy. The brioche bun was great but didn't hold together the whole time I was eating. There was another sauce on the bun that seemed to b... read more

It was good, but they put a ton of seasoning on the chicken. You might really like that but it wasn't my favorite. Overall a really good experience though.

Don't walk to this place, RUN! Compliment to the chef. My wife and I ordered #3 to try the sliders and the strips. It was out of this world. The slider was juicy. Full of flavor. Spicy as we liked the hot sauce. The bun was soft and buttery. Loved the fries and the pickles. The chicken strip was large well cooked and quite tasty. Don't miss this spot. Its the real spot for fried and hit chicken. These three guys did their homework before opening. Hooray! Will be back soon.

Dave's hot chicken. It is exactly what it sounds like, spicy and hot chicken. The food is amazing and the unique restaurant style is amazing. The service is good, they serve it fast and the different choices of spice is nice. When you walk into the restaurant, it is already a good vibe, the art on the walls is very eye-catching. Also, their fries are very good, especially with the fry sauce. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, just be warned some of the food is spicy.

The service and food were both good. That being said pop-eyes chicken is better in my opinion. Dave's chicken has a whole lot of seasoning on it, a bit too much if you ask me. I had a hot tender and a very hot tender and I would say they are on point for a heat rating. The Meridian location drive thru is a little bit tough getting through with a truck, I'd recommend large trucks just taking the time to go inside

Food was good, the place was busy so it took a while longer than expected to get our order out!

Dave's Hot Chicken specializes in Nashville-style hot chicken. It was created by three best friends, one of who was a chef trained at Thomas Keller's French Laundry restaurant. His goal was to create the best Hot Chicken. I recently visited Dave's Hot Chicken in Meridian for the first time. I ordered Dave's #5 ($7.99) - 1 Chicken Tender with Fries, served with sliced bread, pickles and Dave's sauce. There are 7 seasoning options available, ranging from No Spice to Reaper; I chose Hot. This was my first time trying Nashvi... read more
