This was our first opportunity to try Dave's Hot Chicken. We ordered the box so we could try some different items, and also one tender and a side of fries. We opted for water and the water cups are very small, so if you like your chicken hot then you might want to order a larger drink. I am, however, a spice wimp, so we ordered mild. The cheese stick, sliders, and tenders were good. Mild spice was perfect for me. The Dave's bites were okay but I would have preferred another tender instead. As for sauces, the Dave's sauce was... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken in St. Matthews absolutely lives up to the hype! The chicken was perfectly crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. I loved that you can choose your spice level -- the medium had the perfect kick without being overwhelming. The fries were seasoned so well, and the mozz cheese sticks were a great side to split! The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the food came out fresh and fast. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. If you love hot chicken or just want a really good chicke... read more

So happy we finally got one in Louisville! The chicken is great, of course. I appreciate the options they have for the hotness level. Their fries are really yummy too and the Dave's sauce is perfect. The waits are always a bit long but that's to be expected and not a huge deal! Everyone there is nice as well and helpful with navigating the menu.

I tried the Dave's Hot Chicken in Jeffersonville a while back and nearly burned my heart out. Undaunted, I tried this Dave's as I was in the area. Some major differences. At this location, the owner (who also owns the Jeff location). Stops by every table to check on your meal. If he's busy, a staffer comes by to see if you need anything. Previously, I tried the "hot" spice and found it too much. Even for me, a guy who snacks on jalapeños. This time I tried the medium. Still made my eyes water, but great flavor and mod... read more

This place sure is busy but it's Sunday afternoon. My wife went with the number 2 combo (no sauce) with fries and drink. While I went with the number 1 combo (hot) with fries and drink plus a side of reaper ranch sauce. This is not a Military friendly restaurant (sad). There is lots of flare on wall if you like graffiti art. These are some of the hugest chicken tenders I have ever had in my life.

Compared to other hot chicken options in Louisville, this is a pretty limited menu, with no option for any vegetable side choice or salad, besides cole slaw. I ordered the no heat chicken bites to share with two young kids, with Mac and cheese and fries, only to learn that both the Mac AND the fries are also spicy. The Mac was manageable but the fries were too hot for the kids and me. I ordered to go and my ticket time was about 15 minutes.
