Getting hungry while shopping we noticed a new chicken joint in the Scheel's parking lot. The parking lot looked packed and the dining area was full, but the line moved quickly. Pricing seemed a little high, but we noticed we could add a "slider" to any meal for around $8. (The sliders are the size of most standard chicken sandwiches.) After ordering we were given a number and waited approximately 15 minutes for our food. There were multiple spices levels to select from: No spice and Lite Mild had very little spice and seeme... read more

Appreciate the detailed breakdown, Kristina! Sounds like you did a full spice-level taste test, and we love to see it. Medium’s definitely a solid balance, but major respect to anyone who takes on the Reaper. Glad you enjoyed the sliders, coleslaw, and overall experience—Reno is lucky to have you as a Dave’s fan!

Dave's hot chicken truly never disappoints. The #2 combo with two sliders and fries is my absolute favorite. The chicken is always juicy on the inside and perfectly the crispy on the outside. Service is friendly as well. Highly recommend!!

Now that’s what we love to hear, Chalyce! The #2 combo is a fan favorite for a reason—can’t go wrong with juicy, crispy sliders. Appreciate the love and the recommendation!

What a cool ambiance and staff! Came for the first time and decided I had to try the cauliflower bites, mac n cheese, and chicken slider. I love that they have vegetarian options. I learned I'm a wimp though because the "mild lite" was too spicy for me! Proceed with caution but the food is good, and Justin is the bomb! 

Business response:

Love that you gave the cauliflower bites a try, Xtina! And hey, no shame in finding "mild lite" spicy—heat tolerance is no joke! Glad Justin took good care of you, and hope you come back for more (maybe with an extra side of mac & cheese to cool things down)!

Good service, nice employees, everything is nice and clean and open. The chicken sliders are great and so are the tenders and fries. Be warned though, the mild is pretty spicy so if you're sensitive to spice maybe try light mild or no spice and see if you can get it on the side to try it just in case. Flavor is amazing though and the Dave's sauce is really good not as salty as Canes 

Business response:

Appreciate the heads-up for spice-sensitive guests, John! Glad you enjoyed the sliders, fries, and that Dave’s sauce. We’ll always be here when you’re ready for another round—maybe working your way up the spice levels next time!

I love seeing new places pop up in Reno! We visited at lunch time on a Monday and the line was manageable but definitely got busy! What a great location, and an absolutely fun, bright environment. I had the slider and fries combo - unfortunately I was a wimp and only did the light spice and wish I went spicier. The overall flavor was good on the chicken, I loved the slaw & bun! I didn't care for the fries or their sauce - the fries felt like they lacked seasoning & the sauce was too mayo based for my preference. I definitely... read more
