Stopped in for the 1st time the other day to try this place out. We have been hearing the buzz about their chicken. AND we love HOT CHICKEN! We arrived at a goofy time (3:45 pm ish) between lunch and dinner. The place was not very busy when we arrived and that changed rather quickly. Staff were all extremely friendly, smiling, laughing, and very helpful to us in suggestions of the menu. Always enjoy when employees are knowledgeable about their products. We ordered several different heat levels to try out. Hot was the ... read more

Very yummy! I haven't had Dave's Chicken prior to it coming to Madison, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Highly recommend the mild if you don't like a lot of spice but love flavor. Also their signature sauce is amazing!

Service is better than anything I've had in Madison. The food is also pretty amazing. The hot is actually hot, not overwhelmingly hot but hot. And I like spicy food. I don't know that I have a single bad thing to say about this place except that it's so good I went two days in a row. Don't be discouraged by the lines they move fast and they're putting in a drive through within the next month. (1-20-23)

Went to Dave's hot chicken, it's in the former Hardee's building and next to Hooters and the now closed KFC. Got the # 2 slider order to go, 1 medium and 1 hot. I think the spice level runs true, they had a nice slaw on them. Service was fast and friendly, smooth operation!

Happened to arrive on opening day! It was very busy had a lot of extra staff, but I'm sure that will calm down as time goes by. I had the chicken finger / slider combo. It was great! I like hot chicken and this does not disappoint! It not like a Nashville hot but more of a dry rub hot. Great flavor nice and moist chicken. I had the MAC cheese side it was good and helped put out the fire. Fries looked great too. They have about 6 levels of heat to choose from. The greeter recommended I go down a notch from the heat I... read more

We went there on Friday, Oct 11 in the afternoon and my daughter order a chicken sandwich with mild as the spice level. When she got her order the spice level was hot. I tried a piece of her chicken and it was hotter than my sandwich as I got medium. She took it back and told the lady that she order mild but must of gotten hot instead. The lady looked at her and said "are you sure because I saw them make it and it was mild". My daughter responded that she's had mild before and this is not mild. We've been to this location se... read more

Not sure why this place has so many stars. I swear. Worst chicken place ever. Been siting on my stomach for the entire day.

Spicy chicken reaper have no flavor whatsoever. Yes it is extremely spicy but basically fried chili powder go ahead and just throw that powder on the chicken.

Not a fan though the restaurant was busy. Overpriced, chicken somewhat dried out. Ordered the mild, but hate the sriracha flavor. Took quite a while to get the food. Ice machine was broken. Can't believe how popular this spot is.
