As a vegetarian, I will admit to being curious about all these delicious chicken sandwiches that are out these days. Well, Dave's got us veggie people covered. The breaded part of the cauliflower sandwich is so crispy and not at all greasy. I got the mild sauce. The bun? So darn good. Soft, tasty and literally hugs the contents when you squish it a little to take that first bite. The dipping sauce for the fries has a little spicy-sour kick to it and the fries are somewhere close to crispy, but still soft. The extra cup of ... read more

I've been on a recent quest to explore all the chicken spots in the Reno/Sparks area and this one came up on the list! Absolutely love the atmosphere of this place, the color of the wall decor pops and the menu is simple & easy to pick from, yet still many options to come back and try something new every time! Swung by around 10pm, always love a good late-night spot! Took my #3 order (Tender & Slider) to-go and everything stayed clean & consice in the box, just the right amount of sauce for the flavor without a mess. Ove... read more

We had such a great experience at Dave's Hot Chicken in Sparks! The vibe of the place is so fun and energetic. From the graffiti-style wall art to the bold neon signs, it really gives off a cool street-food-meets-modern-diner feel. Ordering was quick and easy, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. We tried the sliders with crinkle-cut fries, and they were absolutely delicious. The chicken was juicy with the perfect crispy coating, and the spice level had a great kick without overpowering the flavor. The pickles and... read more

Overall good experience. The staff were also nice and offered to help us in our decisions for lunch after learning it was our first time there. Everything was very clean and the dining area has a really cool design. There's something interesting to look at on every wall. The loaded fries were great, but I world prefer if the fries were more crispy. And more than one chicken tender should come with the fries instead of having to purchase extras. The Mac N Cheese was good, and stayed hot. I prefer to add some pepper to mine, b... read more

They are just nice, kind, helpful people and they know how to read a room Food: best chicken in Reno. Trust me on this. I would say start with a lower spi... read more

If you like hot fried chicken this is a must try! First time trying Dave's hot chicken and was really impressed! The chicken is perfectly seasoned and has really good flavor. I ordered hot and it was perfect not too spicy where it was overbearing but overall excellent! The service was pretty quick, even with them being very busy. I would say the inside of the location was very clean the restrooms not so much so but that's a given for how busy they were. I will definitely be back because how good the food tasted!

I am a big fan of hot chicken and Daves did not disappoint! I know they are a pretty big chain but I have never tried them up to now. I did worry I might not enjoy it because they are a wide spread chain but ultimately they did everything right in my book. I got the Chicken Strip and Slider Combo in Hot. Unsurprisingly their hot was pretty hot . It definitely made me eat it slow and luckily their sides and sauce were tasty enough to keep me happy in between chicken bites. The chicken was nicely crunchy outside while tender... read more

Fries are great, shakes are average, I did not like the chicken sandwich medium spice. While the chicken is tasty and moist, the batter is overly sweet. The combo of the bun, coleslaw, sauce and pickles were not jiving together very well. The pickles taste good outside of the sandwich, but are not really the best choice for a chicken sandwich. Too sour. On the other hand, the plain chicken slider with bread sauce and pickles was ok. Strange how that worked. My wife had the chicken fries, the chicken was good, but again a f... read more
