The very hot sliders are my go to order. You could say it's too expensive, but there isn't a spicy chicken sandwich nearby I'd take over this. (N and S is a close second)

There are 20+ places to eat within a mile of my home. Dave's Hot Chicken is our favorite by far. Juicy huge chicken tenders, either on a bun or not and six levels of spicy plus no spice make satisfying a group easy. The mac and cheese is well seasoned-a good switch for the fries. The kale slaw is tasty too..

As others have said, it is a bit pricier than you'd expect of a fast food type place. That said, it is pretty good. I got two tenders and fries. The bread is nothing special, just standard white bread. The tenders are generously sized and they were very nice and crispy after taking them home. I got the "hot" spice level which I'd say is fairly accurate. They don't use the Midwest spice scale. It's the kind of spiciness where you'd prefer to savor a bit instead of wolfing it down. I was also surprisingly full after this meal... read more

I had dinner from here. The place was larger and I expected. It was modern as well. I went with daves #2 2 sliders with fries. I went extra hot. That was actually hotter than I would like. I should have just ordered hot. Mac n cheese side was just ok. Dave's sauce was good. I also went for a top loaded oreo vanilla milk shake. This is the worst milkshake I had in Wisconsin. Generally all milkshakes in WI are rich and creamy.

The parking is a little wonky. It was 1:00pm in the afternoon and we were the only two in the restaurant. The food came out slow. Very loud music inside, couldn't have a conversation so we sat outside. Not an extensive menu. I ordered two chicken tenders, one mild and one medium. Comes with fries. When I received my order I had been given 3 chicken tenders. No identification of which was mild or medium. It's definitely "fast food" as it's deep fried. I would've liked a baked option. The coating is very messy and they should ... read more

This is an outpost of this growing chicken fingers restaurant. Located on the corner and parking is to the rear. Located near a BBQ place and several other businesses. Handicap parking is available and no drive through service. You enter the restaurant and place your order. Various options for chicken and sauces. Cash, and credit card. They take on line orders as well. Based on my first and last visit, most people placed on line orders. Requested no pickles and yes I had pickles. They must cook to order, chick... read more
