Decided to try Dave's chicken for the first time late at night. I like the fact they stay open till midnight. Pretty expensive spot for the amount of food you get. The drive thru wait was long. It took about 20 minutes to get through drive thru. I tried the loaded Mac. Overall pretty good I'd get it again. read more

My 1st time having Dave's Hot Chicken and I was pleasantly surprised. The medium spice was the perfect level of spice for me. The coleslaw, pickles, and sauce does a fantastic job of controlling the heat. The fries are also pretty damn good. They did mess up my order and that caused a back up but it was fixed quickly. read more

Certainly a niche chicken spot, but it's delicious. The food is prepared fresh and the range of spice should fit anybody from a kiddo to a daredevil. Service with a smile and the graffiti vibe inside is a refreshing change from the usual bland fast service restaurant. read more

Always had good experiences at Dave's! This was no different! Best chicken around! Fries and sauce are always great aswell. Kind cashier even gave my vegan grandmother a free cauliflower nugget with her fries! Great atmosphere with a banger music playlist. Great service, will be back! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Great food!!! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Coon Rapids, Minnesota

Ordered medium and mild slider, Mac and cheese, Dave's bites, fruity pebble shake. Sliders were good, not great. Mac and cheese was boring, respectfully Kraft out of a box is much better. Ordered Dave's bites w/o breading but came with breading (I should have checked before leaving, that's on me), the shake was very watery, basically fruity pebbles and milk. The Dave's sauce however was very delicious. read more

First visit here. With so many chicken places, we wanted to see what Dave's was all about. Walking in the door, you are in the dining room. A brightly colored space painted with murals. Noon on a Saturday, most tables were full. With the tables that were open, they had crumbs or sauce smeared on the top. Chair look Industrial (uncomfortable for big butts and wide hips, yeah!) and painted bright red. **By the time we were almost done eating, lots of people had left and it quieted down. And then staff came out to clean and reorganize the tables and chairs. Walking up to the counter, the menu was very clear. Minimal meal options (only 4, similar to Cane's) as ordering chicken doesn't need to be fancy. And they also have vegetarian options by offering a cauliflower version. Meals don't come with a beverage included but there were alternatives to the soda fountain, like slushies or shakes. Staff was friendly and helpful with questions. We were given buzzers while our meals were being prepared. But orders were up within 5 minutes. I ordered a single slider (Mild). It came with an extra cup of Dave's sauce and a bunch of pickles. I had to ask for ketchup packets for my fries. Sis ordered 2 sliders (extra mild). It can't with the same sides but also a piece of plain white bread (no butter??). She also ordered a strawberry slushy. I sampled a taste. Very good for a hit summer day. It's hard to explain the taste of the chicken. I don't do well with Nashville HOT chicken. My throat revolts and I can't breathe, causing a coughing fit with tears. So I was nervous what I'd get with MILD. No heat at all. It was covered in red seasoning (cayenne pepper??) but it actually tasted sweet, which was weird. The chicken was crispy on the outside, nice and juicy on the inside. I liked the soft slider bun, and the Kale slaw gave a nice crunch. I liked the Dave's sauce at first but didn't stand out my the end of the meal. I used it to add some sauce to the sandwich, since there was no other mayo or ketchup on it. The fries were fresh, hot. All soft potatoes, no crunchy outside. Served with sweet, red seasoning again. What is this? Why is it sweet? I would have preferred no seasoning. The best part was the pickles. I got 6 off them! And they were a perfect juicy, sour dill. For me, it's a one and done. But sis said she'd come back here again. So we'll see....I'd maybe try the loaded fries and a slushy. read more

Just tried some spicy chicken and wow, the reaper heat was absolutely on point! Seriously, top-notch spice level. The mozzarella sticks were pretty tasty too, a nice cheesy addition. My only minor gripe is that the employee at the drive thru was a bit odd, asking for the name on the order than asking us weird questions that was irrelevant to our drive up order. Overall, a solid meal though! Def coming back! Still have heartburn read more

Don't do it. Wanted to try it. 14 for two chicken strips. Not busy took 20 minutes. Tasted like ones from Costco

To start, the food was not bad at all just not my style. The wait and the atmosphere was not very inviting. The crowd which dines here is difficult to deal with. It's definitely catered to a younger and "hip" crowd. read more

Have been wanting to try Dave's hot chicken since they opened. Finally got the opportunity to do so and it was good. Got the two sliders one hot and the other extra hot with fries. Having grown up eating spicy food didn't think the hot was very hot. Next time will have to try the reaper. The sandwiches were tasty regardless of how I felt about the spice level. Service was quick and friendly. The spice levels were explained to me well since it was my first time there. read more

Colorful murals on the walls. This restaurant just opened and wasn't too busy. My daughter ordered the slider and tender combo with fries. You can choose your level of spice, she chose hot. Flavorful tenders. Don't let the red color fool you, even if you choose no spice the color is still red. It's the batter they use. There's a drive thru option as well. read more

Was recommended this by my son, who loves it. I started out light and mild with their Dave's Bites and fries. First off, I enjoyed the server's description of the food and the "burn" for each level of hotness. It was a great introduction. I enjoyed the bites. Next time I'll order a larger piece of chicken. I enjoyed the spice, but would recommend going hotter than the mild or mid-level if you like a little longer lasting heat. I would definitely return to try something new from the menu. The piece of toast in the bottom of the basket seemed a bit odd. It would be nice if it had some butter/garlic or something on it. It was served plain. Am I missing something? read more

No drive thru, but the pickup window works just like one if you order via the app. First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken, the Dave Bites were very crispy and full of flavor. High quality chicken not like every other fast food joint. The seasoning definitely has a nice kick and isn't that Minnesota spice. Fries were great, strawberry shake was delicious, fast service, great place! read more

We have been waiting for Dave's to open in our area. I've been following for a long time on IG. Today was day 2 and they were busy. The lines moved quickly and the food was coming out hot and fresh. We tried the tenders and the sliders, medium and mild. Great flavor, good crunch. Dave's sauce is soooo delicious I wanted in a bigger container. The fries were crispy with a great seasoning. My wife loved the Mac and cheese. Great food! Great service! Beautiful restaurant! read more

My boyfriend got food poisoning from this location a while ago and never went back. I never had an issue until this past week the night before thanksgiving. I went and got a #4 and a cherry coke, and unfortunately, i was struck with food poisoning and had to miss thanksgiving with my family this year. Very disappointed. read more

I came here with my kids today for lunch and when I say it was absolutely just like the photos it was AMAZING!!!! 50$ for 3 meals but was able to make them into 5 meals with the slider and tender meal because the slider is definitely not slider size it is a generous portion and so so delicious 10 out if 10 definitely recommend besties E A T I T U P!! read more

Staff is amazing but the food is even better. Food is always fresh and juicy! Staff is always kind and happy. I'd recommend if you don't like spicy get Mild or lite mild. If you enjoy spice Hot or extra hot. Always 5 stars when I go there! read more

Foods fine but when I order one that's not spicy for the elderly there's no label or anything to say what's what.. They only way to get ahold of them is the drive to the store and talk to them directly. They will not answer the phone. And there automated phone system horrible it refers you to the website for a few minutes before giving the option to call the store then nobody will answer.. which is extremely aggravating... not interested in doing business with a company that's not willing to have customer service for the to go customers.. read more

Great food and customer service is really good Really good vibe and clean restaurant and quiet read more

Everything was great, from the Service, the guy at the front counter explaining everything well, to the food quality. Chicken was nice and juicy, just delicious. And the just having a good vibe Definitely worth coming and giving it a try. read more

Amazing!!! Free cups and yummy chicken. Pretty good and not super spicy the mild is good.

Great food and service with spice level options. Went with the 2 slider combo 1 medium and 2 hot. Not too hot.

The sliders are very tasty, the chicken is juicy and the slaw/pickles/sauce combination takes it to another level. The kale salad was very good as a side, I wish there was an option for a larger size. read more

Food was pretty good but the employee seemed really flustered and didn't seem very interested in answering my questions
