About this business

TO LIVE AND FRY IN L.A. In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept — take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw — they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long.

Dave's?! In KC?! WHOO! I was excited to try this as I've heard about and seen about it so many times. Didn't try the Reaper...so no waiver signed over here hahha. It had just opened so the line was out the door, so it took some time before we were able to go in and order/be seated. I was scared of the spice levels so I just went up to Hot, but I think the spice wasn't unbearable (might try Extra Hot next time). The fries and sauce were AMAZING - the chicken was good too, but also similar to other chicken places here. I go... read more

Came out to try the new place, staff is accommodating, lobby is unique and plenty of seating. The line was long, 1 hr from the start to order, food came out pretty quick and was hot. I offered 2 #') 3's and 1 # 4 I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 on flavor portion sizes were great and daves sauce is 5/5 on it's own. I personally had mild which was not spicy at all ( wanted flavor over heat) The fries were 3.5/5 as well decent seasoning good crunch to them as well. If you haven't been come out and give them a try.

Worth the wait! I had it in Vegas, OKC and now right in my backyard. I got the #2 and tried the reaper and extra spicy . The reaper hit the spot for me. They have a weird consistency with their spice level tho from different cities. OKC extra spicy tasted like KC reaper. Whatever though. Customer service was great, food was great and I was satisfy.

Decent. Had the #1 (2x tenders and fries), hot. Wait wasn't too long, food was hot and fresh. Fries are good, crunchy and meaty on the inside. Could have used a touch more seasoning. Chicken was good, moist, reasonably seasoned. Hot wasn't that hot. I prefer Mother Clucker, but this is a good second.

Slayyyyy it was so good the #4 is plenty of food definitely filling I got medium but wish I got hot. The service was quick considering the amount of customers they had. And the ambiance is lovely with the galaxy ceiling. 10/10 would definitely come back.

Crazy line for this place I assume just because it is new. Service was fast for how many people were there. It's just chicken fingers with or without a bun. The inside is nice but very loud. Very simple menu which keeps the line moving. It appeared to me that they are dipping the tenders but changing the heat with different spice powder levels which is really not traditional hot chicken in my opinion. Atmosphere is basic but nice for fast food chicken. Price seems high for what it is actually. Tenders are as big as chicken b... read more

Business owners should learn from the experience I just had at Dave's Hot Chicken. So yesterday, we waited about an hour in line and got home and received the wrong bag. We tried calling but I'm assuming due to how crowded this new restaurant is, they are not picking up phones. Fast forward to today, I wait in line another hour...get to the register and order the same meal from yesterday, show my receipt and explain the situation. Either the franchise owner or GM (wish I would've got his name) came out from the back and f... read more

We tried Dave's last year in Omaha and are happy there is finally one in Overland Park. The menu is simple so the kitchen can just focus on making great hot chicken sandwiches. Our son had the mac & cheese and it was pretty bland. Dave's sauce mixed with honey is da bomb.
