In town visiting a friend in Fort Collins, we usually go to Music City for hot chicken, which is also very good, but we saw that Dave's Hot Chicken opened up so we went there! I've had Dave's once before in Denver, and remember it being delicious. The Fort Collins location did not disappoint! My friend and I both ordered the two piece tender meal with hot tenders, and an extra side of mac and cheese and kale slaw. With drinks, all of this for two people was under $40 which is decent! The service was pretty quick, and the ... read more

I wanted to try Dave's as alternative to Canes since I love spicy chicken. For the price I would say it's not worth it. The chicken was pretty good. The seasoning was similar to Music City hot chicken, with a flavorful mix of sweet and spicy. The fries were also topped with the same spice. So I'd say they were good. The bread and sauce is where I had to dock some points. It was literally like 2 slices of white wonder bread that were barely toasted. The sauce is missing something. It doesn't pair well with the chicken because... read more

Dave's is fine. Nothing was bad, or really exceptional. Chicken was a decent piece of chicken and was cooked well. Flavors were okay, we tried mild, medium, and hot. The cheese fries were probably the best part of the meal. For hot chicken you are better off going to Music City for a lot of reasons, no fault of Dave's, we just have a very exceptional other option basically on the same block.

I've only been here once before and while I don't like supporting chains, this one is worth it! We stood in a long line that breezed through very quickly and placed our orders at the register - two mild tenders for the husband, a single HOT slider (these sliders are basically regular sized sandwiches) for me. My husband grabbed a beer (they have four offerings on tap) and I snagged a cup for water. After only a few minutes, our buzzer went off, we picked up our food and headed to the large patio out front overlooking Colleg... read more

Ordered the sliders with hot spice level. Very spicy for me but could not stop eating. One slider and fries was enough for me. Good flavor and love the coleslaw in the sandwich. Food came out quick.

Honestly really wanted to love this place. The service was excellent!! However, the food was just okay. The chicken was nice and juicy, but everything tasted very sweet. Not worth the hype, I would recommend going to Music City Hot Chicken across the street.

I went to the restaurant for the first time and it was pretty good. The only problem about it was that the people that worked there. I could immediately feel the air wasn't good and the people in general that worked there. They gave me dirty looks and the girl that took me and my mom's order gave us dirty looks. I don't remember her name but she had piercings, a black bandanna on, full face of makeup (which looked pretty) and long nails. That's the woman that took our order. A few minutes after I paid for my food she called ... read more

I was denied the monster hunter meal! I wanted to feel like a true hunter, huntin' monsters and what not but these guys said there was no such thing as a monster hunter meal even with the collaboration being posted up right in front of you as you walk in. I wanted my rathy tenders.
