Dave's Hot Chicken is a new chicken restaurant located in the light gray Chipotle plaza on Fowler Avenue. It has urban decor with graffiti and a primarily red color scheme. They have a relatively small menu. They sell chicken tenders with fries, chicken slider sandwiches with fries, and some sides like mac and cheese along with fountain drinks. They have approx 6 levels of heat or more, ranging from no spice to reaper. I chose the slider and fries meal at the "Hot " level. ($10) You go to order, and they call your number ... read more

The service workers were smiling and having a good time so that was nice to see despite it being very busy. Super friendly. Good environment. Music wasn't too loud. No drive through but they have indoor and outdoor seating. The location isn't good at all. Parking spaces are for compact cars and there were trucks taking up 2 spaces. Restaurant seems clean. Prices are decent. I ordered Dave's #2 medium heat. The medium wasn't very spicy for me as I eat spicy food on a regular basis. They were good though, one was enough ... read more

Well well well. I was absolutely blown away with this one. I've heard the rumors and wanted to try it for myself but wow. I'm amazed. It's really good especially the slider and the Mac and cheese. The slider was juicy and the spice kicks the flavor up a notch. The tender by itself was solid but a bit under seasoned. The Mac and Cheese was breath taking. It was nice and creamy and flavored just right. Highly recommend if you haven't already to try this place.

This was a very good and juicy chicken sandwich. I personally don't like pickles in my chicken sandwich's so I just took them out. When I arrived there was a line out the door but it moved fast. I was out there for less than 10 minutes. The inside was really crowded so I choose to sit outside. It was nice out, they have a few tables set up. Sandwich was 8/10 only because there were too many pickles.

this place rocked! the chicken was fresh and so delicious but I personally got it Hot which was a bit too hot for me. I would come back and get the medium for sure. the tenders come with packs of dave's sauce and packs of honey as well. the fries were super yummy. I shouldn't have ordered the extra tender because 2 was more than enough for me but i didn't know better lol. the place was packed and had a long line out the door, the employees were all very nice and made sure everything was organized. in the photos you can see h... read more

Really enjoyed checking out the new Nashville hot chicken spot today! I went during PEAK lunch, on a Saturday nonetheless, and have no complaints about service time. When we walked in the line was backed up to the door, but there were two registers and a third employee taking orders on a tablet so the process went fast. The dining area isn't very large but the tables were being turned over fast - with one employee walking around wiping tables and sweeping to tidy. There's also an outdoor seating area that's a significant... read more

HIGHLY recommend trying Dave's! When they said "sliders" I was expecting a tiny sandwich but this was a GIANT sandwich. I was so blown away by how juicy the chicken was. It was everything you want in fried chicken: well seasoned, thick, and juicy. So thankful for everyone working there, the line was out the door, down the plaza hall, and everyone was still very nice and got the orders out quickly. The inside of the place had so much cool graffiti, I only managed to snap a picture of the "Tampa" graffiti right above the orde... read more
