    Craving Nashville hot chicken? You must go to @daveshotchicken We recently went to the one at 3643 N. Western in Chicago. The menu is simple, but the food is anything, but. We tried: Daves #2: 2 sliders with cheesy fries Daves #3: 1 tender and 1 slider with cheesy fries 1 top loaded oreo shake 1 top loaded m&m shake **all sliders are served with kale slaw, pickles and Daves special sauce** ***all tenders are served with slices bread, pickles and Dave's special sauce*** This is not really a "slider"by any means. The pieces of chicken are large and thick, it just spills out of the bun. These sliders are full size sandwiches. We liked the fries better without the cheese, however, if you like cheesy fries, by all means get them. We had both the no spice and mild chicken, and both were juicy and delicious! Try Dave's Hot Chicken for yourself, this will quickly become your favorite Hot Chicken sandwich place!

    Delicious chicken. The chicken tenders and sliders are massive. I ordered a #2 meal which comes with a chicken slider and a chicken tender, along with seasoned fries. I tried the slider with hot seasoning and the tender with extra hot seasoning. The Dave's signature sauce is wonderful. My children enjoyed the Mac and cheese and teriyaki chicken bites.

    Lately, I have been on a hot chicken bender. Within the last few weeks alone I've gone to several different spots to try out their menus and compare them. Dave's is for sure near the top of the pack and it all starts with the customer service. The employees are incredibly kind, they greeted me upon my arrival and made sure I didn't need any help navigating the menu. The food came out incredibly fast which would leave anyone skeptical at first but it was super fresh and probably my favorite meal of the past week. The seasoning on the fries is elite and the texture of the chicken combined with the packed flavor was beyond the hype. Seldom can a restaurant make chicken so crispy while not compromising juiciness. They've mastered it here. Definitely going to come back and will be a recurring customer. Long live Dave's Hot.

    Not only was the service very welcoming and friendly, the food really is great. I really appreciated the extra pickles and the various levels of spice on both the slider and tender. I thought I was walking into a tourist attraction with how the restaurant shinned - the ambiance was really modern with local art work of showcasing graffiti, but the food and customer service made the place feel like home! This will now be my go to chicken joint!! I luv DHC!

    The food is always awesome. Taste amazing! We ordered 1 mild slider and one medium. It was a little hot for the kids, however the manager was so friendly and he replaced the entire order. It's Halal and the taste is always consistent. Staff are super friendly. The restaurants inside is very clean and spacious. Shout out to the manager and his team!

    This fried chicken is different! Try it to believe it Convenient location, has a parking lot for easy parking, youth vibes to the restaurant, helpful staff and delicious food. Dominique at the register gets a shout out for her excellent customer support. If you are a fan of spicy hot chicken, then this is your place. We have tried many fried chicken places, even Korean fried chicken but the thing that makes this chicken different is the flover in the coating, heat built with in the coating, so no extra sauce for dipping needed. Their sandwich comes with an option of kale slaw and slices of pickle, which is a game changer. We ordered level hot, but they have 2 more heat levels above hot. May be we will try that next time We are surely referring our friends and family. Thank you and welcome to Chicago.

    Sliders with Fries

    I passed by this restaurant a few times and never thought much about it. Decided to check it out. Ordered two sliders and fries. I was thinking the sliders were going to be small like appetizer sliders. These were two substantial sandwiches with slaw, sauce, and pickles. These sandwiches are no joke. The fries were lightly seasoned, it seems, not just dashed with salt. The restaurant was bustling, so I imagine they get lots of carryout and delivery in addition to dine-in patrons. Good food, good service, and a clean restaurant mean I will be going back.

    Alright this place is legit & know how to get the chicken right. It was my first time & I'm a fan. It's been on my list for awhile & finally got a chance to check it out. Their sliders ain't no baby sliders it like huuugeee so well worth the value that it can serve 2 people. I did the combo just to have a feel of a the difference but it was too much food for one person I came home with leftovers. I was too scared to go to hot cause after pregnancy my spice level is more like mild level. It's in a plaza so parking is plentiful. Only issue I had was how dirty the tables were. They were too focus in the kitchen that the dining area fell short like I didn't see not one staff come out to clear tables or wipe them down. Nonetheless I'd come back cause that's some serious good chicken.

    They have locations pretty much everywhere now, and they're a good option for a very filling meal. The fries aren't the best but they do help balance out the heat in the chicken. The slider is my fav part because of the balance in flavors, although if you don't like coleslaw u might not like it as much. It will satisfy that nashville hot chicken craving. Also got mac and cheese which was surprisingly good. The spice level can get pretty high so start off with mild if you're not sure! Overall not a bad spot for a late night meal! The service is nice and fast with a nice place to sit/chill and free parking!

    The food was good and had the right amount of heat in it but a little salty. Besides that it was delicious.

    Excellent place for halal fried chicken sandwiches. The only drawback is that it's far but I also heard they may be opening more locations.

    Way too much seasoning on chicken. They didn't have milkshakes as listed on menu. The best thing there was the cherry coke.

I appreciated that they have ample seating room for eating them at maximum freshness. We ordered the turkey & Brie and roast beef sandwiches. The bread was super fresh with the perfect crunch and chew. No ingredients were skimped upon with the perfect balance of flavors. I loved how the crunchy apple contrasted the slab of Brie on the turkey sandwich, and the roasted garlic aioli brought a great savory balance. The roast beef sandwich was pretty spicy and I loved the slight smokiness of the provolone. We left very satisfied and with leftovers.

I stopped in here after seeing posts on social media and I was not disappointed. I ate two of what quite possibly may be some of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The turkey and brie sandwich is out of this world. It has a smokey taste to which is supplemented by the subtle taste thinly sliced Granny Smith apples. The porchetta sandwich is perfectly salty and has perfect portions of meat, greens and fried capers. Both sandwiches are served on the default, fresh ciabatta bread. A true hidden gem, though likely not for long.
