Very nice chicken strips, wonderful taste of the sauce. And juicy chicken. The only straggle is the parking.

Service was good. Food was great. Great portions. Roomy. Received our food pretty fast.

Came here on a whim the other night and was very impressed. I have eaten my fair share of chicken around Denver and this is one of my favorites. The chicken is crunchy, hot and really flavorful. Get the #2 combo, the bread along with the slaw make for a great chicken sandwich. The bread is slightly sweet and the slaw is pretty mild--it's serves more as a nice textural contrast more than anything. The fries are hot and salty crispy crinkles. Not my favorite kind of fry but they aren't bad. Crinkle cuts can easy veer into terrible territory if you're not careful but these definitely don't. They scratch the fry itch. The dipping sauce isn't half bad either. It's similar to the infamous raising cane sauce. The pickles are thick and crunchy. One of my favorite pickles so far at a chicken restaurant and I don't even really like pickles! The only reason I'm taking away a star is because the other night they got our order wrong. My date and I both ordered lite mild but after biting into it was a lot spicier than we remembered during our first go around. Looking at the receipt we both ended up with medium. I went to the counter and asked if we could swap out the mistaken chicken strips for the lite mild version but they Just shrugged and said no they can't do that. We didn't want to push the issue so we just ate it anyway (and it's still good, it was just beyond our spice comfort level). The experience left kind of a bad taste (no pun intended). read more

I live around the corner from this place, wanted to check it out for a while. I went right around lunchtime, ordered online to pick up, it was ready the second I got there - the pickup window is the way to go. Sandos were on point and surprisingly loved the fries. The dipping sauce they gave me was money. Convenient, reasonably priced, fast - I'll 100 percent go back here. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Spicy Chicken Sandos - Chicken Shop Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This place is tasty! Not sure how we came across it but in my recent search for delicious chicken sandwiches it earned the top spot and has pretty much before a staple that we treat ourselves too once every few weeks. The chicken is delicious, juicy and can be customized depending on your heat preferences. This is specifically important for people like myself who enjoy some spice but not a whole lot. It can become difficult at these chicken spots finding a spice level that is tasty and spicy enough but not too much and not too little. This spot makes this easy with the spice level options. Oh also, chicken "slider" at this place means full portion chicken sandwich in other spots. If you get easily full like myself... you'll be totally fine with one and some creamy cheese fries. read more

New hot chicken place opens in Denver that's based on Cali of course it has all the hype, and frankly I'm not surprised haha. Yes multiple people mentioned it to me, knowing I'm the chicken sandwich obsessed person I am, lol; so naturally I couldn't wait to try it!!! Finally went in this weekend and even though it was pouring in denver still packed although I think if the sun was shining it would have been ten times worse. Went with the chicken slides; one hot and one extra hot. I have to say, the extra hot had some heat but it seemed more like a hot if you ask me. I wasn't crying or had my mouth on fire, just a nice pleasant spice. I think that's partially who I removed a star; how can you have an extra hot that doesn't at least have you shed a single tear?!? Definitely going back to try the next level up, so stay tuned! Chicken was wonderful; crispy with a nice crust and oh so juicy on the inside. I brought Alfie home a combo number 3 with a slider and tender and also got him an extra tender, I guess he wasn't as hungry as I suspected so he saved the lone tender and even reheated the next day, still bomb AF. Love the Kale slaw on the sandwiches, in fact out of my recent hot chicken experiences I would go so far as to say this has been my favorite slaw so far. Interesting option to add some cheese, but absolutely do it! It adds a nice flavor component that I was totally not mad about. I would do it again. Fries were good, crinkle cut and nice and crispy. I will say the Mac was lacking, also something that factored into the 4 out of 5 stars. It was fairly bland and I probably wouldn't order it again. Although let me tell you; I have tended to notice that the Mac generally is bland at hot chicken places and I'm almost wondering if that is done on purpose? As almost a palate cleanser in between bites of hot chicken?? Hmmm I wonder. All in all I'll definitely come back here, but I'll be trying the spicier (I want to cry lol) and pass on the Mac! read more

I came here on a Saturday early evening. There wasn't much of a line at the time and was able to order in less than 5 minutes of waiting. There are 3 combo items to choose from. I ordered the chicken tenders combo in mild spice. It came with fries, bread, sauce. I also got a side of mac and cheese. After I finished eating, there was quite a long line out the door. Likes: chicken was juicy and tender, fries had a good crunch, multiple spice level options Dislikes: the dry rub had too much cumin for my liking, $12 is high for two chicken tenders and two slices of wonder bread compared to similar restaurants. The noise bounced all over the place. It was very difficult to hear the cashier. Overall, everything was mediocre. I'm not rushing to come back when I can go to other places that are just as good or better at a lower cost. read more

Two buffalo Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries 9.1/10 definitely something to try . Hot slider was like sweating , the mild was insane the crust had a very light flavor seasoning that was in any and every bite . Picked we're not my favorite but we're amazing and accommodating to the amount of Dave's sauce I asked for . Recommend highly . read more

don't get me wrong the food it good, but I worked there for a little over a month and they treat their employees like absolute garbage. making mean comments, telling people to change their personality because they're "too much" or "don't smile enough" I was having a hard day and needed to go home due to my brother passing and one of the managers told me two weeks after my brother passed, "your brother would want you to finish this shft" I have heard multiple reports from different employees that the AGM is on deugs and does them on shift. the food is good, the smiles are fake. read more

Welcome to Denver! I use to live in LA and their food truck was right by me, safe to say I ate it at least 2/3x a week Been hearing rumors ever since they started expanding and it's finally here. I recommend getting the tenders in medium or hot (hot being the perfect comfortable spice not painful LOL) Customer service is always great, also FIRST TIMERS eat at the location do not order out. Let this delicious chicken bless your taste buds at its freshest state. Enjoy read more

Pretty solid spot. Being from the south, I wish they offered bone-in chicken. But Denver ‍ The chicken was hot, well seasoned, and came out quickly. Service was meh. Maybe a step above fast food, and the ambiance was quite the same. I've had better hot chicken but honestly, Dave's and Post Chicken and Beet are the best you'll find in Denver read more

This place is a solid choice for hot chicken in the Denver area! I ordered the #3 which included the slider and tender. I ordered the medium and hot respectively. I'd say the spice of the hot is honestly not as hot as you would expect. The Mac and cheese has a subtle Cajun seasoning to it. Parking: 2/5 (Street metered) Ambiance: 4/5 Efficiency: 5/5 Noise: 4/5 read more

Since this place just opened up and is quite popular, the service is not the greatest. I've dined in and ordered online for pickup and they have missed at least one item each time so just double check your bag before you leave. Other than that, the food is so good. The chicken, fries and sauce have great flavor. Highly recommend asking for honey packets and putting it on your sandwich. read more

Couldn't find anything to eat it was a little late and saw this place on the corner so decided to stop in. They make all orders to go but you can eat in. They are open till 11pm on weekdays and 12am on weekends so that's cool. I only got their mild spice but heat their reaper is pretty hot. I got one tender and a slider those are your only options besides some sides. Overall a great place. read more

Bombest chicken sandwich place! Tried this place first in California and was excited to know had one back home too! The spicy level here is bomb! I had the hot and was dying of the spicy Super delicious read more

Wow! Denver opens its first HALAL hot chicken joint! I heard about Dave's Hot Chicken while living here in Denver for school. My family and friends in Los Angeles would tell me stories of this amazing fully halal Nashville hot chicken shop in downtown LA that always had a line out the door. So when I went home to visit, Dave's was on the top of my list of things to do. I definitely heard they were growing and growing in popularity, planning on expanding, but never did I imagine one would open up in Denver! The Denver location is on Broadway, across the street from Voodoo Doughnuts and Insomnia Cookies, great places to grab dessert after scorching your mouth with their delicious and succulent hot chicken! So the menu is very basic: tenders or sliders. They do a really good chicken tender, it has the perfect combination of juicy, crunchy and flavor. The sliders are basically a tender sandwiched between buns with some slaw. I generally prefer the TWO TENDER COMBO WITH FRIES EXTRA HOT. I'm not a fan of the sliders; the sliders tend to be more messy, and I would much rather choose my carb pairing to be fries, instead of their buns which are rather unmemorable. IT MUST BE SAID that the spice level here is out of this world. Compared to every hot chicken shop I've been to in Denver , this place offers by far the widest range of spice levels. I like to think I have a relatively high spice tolerance, and order the highest spice level at other chicken shops such as Budlong's and Birdcall, however, I can only handle the EXTRA HOT. For those who are up for a challenge, their spiciest offering is the REAPER. I've never tried it myself, but have seen many friends in absolute agony after a few bites, so try at your own risk! read more

The best day is any day with a Dave's slider! There is no better combination than that warm chicken (medium spice is perfect), cold pickles and coleslaw. Add a slice of cheese and dunk it in Dave's Sauce. Nothing better. Both Denver locations are clean. The staff is friendly and quickly get a meal out to you. Always a good meal. read more

Way too much paprika used on the chicken. That's all we could taste and smell. Service was great though.

I had 2 chicken strips and cheese fries on 11/23/24 around noon thirty. Bread was dry and hard. Chicken and fries were just a tiny bit on the salty side. I am a one and done based on the hard and dry bread, won't return. The bottled water was good. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - A1 chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Just got this a few minutes ago. It's OK. It really is spicy. I got mine HOT and I wouldn't want it any hotter than that. If you come from a place that isn't know for spicy food, you'll probably want to go with medium or lower for the hotness. The French fries were cooked very well, however, they had too much salt. I recently visited that chicken tender place that they advertise on the TV all the time, Raising Cane's, and I really liked their fries because they tasted like potatoes and were lightly salted. Unfortunately, Dave's makes the same mistake most restaurants make, and puts too much salt on their fries. Also, I never understood the whole slices of plain white bread thing. They are just slices of bread, not toasted or anything. I don't get it. At Raising Cane's, at least it is Texas toast, grilled an buttered. So, in closing, Dave's was OK. They have a nice seating area and decoration. The food came out fast (much faster than Raising Cane's, but that's another story). You can choose your spice level, and it can be really hot. But, it sits kinda heavy in the stomach, and it's kinda over salted and over seasoned, but at least the chicken was still juicy and tender. I ate it, but I probably won't get it again. read more

We just got back in the country and Dave's was the first thing we wanted! We ordered delivery (because #jetlag) and it came quickly and just as delicious! The #3 (1 tender and 1 slider + fries) is the perfect amount for one hungry person. The chicken actually has a nice kick of spice, and it's tender and juicy beneath the crispy coating! Make sure you add pickles to your sandwich too for extra crunch and tang! read more

Really like it here it's walking distance from where I live it's very convenient for me! I haven't had any problems at with my service so far the food is good and fresh and the milkshakes they make them once you go and pick up your order so it's made fresh! Great place, great food, and great service! read more

This place is good for a couple stops a year...I'd say its over hyped a little, but it's still decent. I wish they had more options for dipping sauce and I wish they put more slaw on the sandwiches....They don't have chx breast, it's just a tender in the sandwich. I got the extra hot, wasn't really that hot. Basic enriched white bun is weak af. Plain toast with the tender is too. Crinkle fries were good. Mac n cheese was way too soupy for me. Noodles were like swimming in a cheese broth! I think The Crack Shack and Kickin Chicken are much better. There is so many hot chicken places comin up now this one is gettin forgotten about cuz it's too basic. Might try n hit up Drizzy let him know he got work to do lol read more

My cousin's friend recommended us to try 'Dave's Hot Chicken' and I have to say, we were not disappointed! I have a small appetite, and I don't usually finish a standard serving size of food, but the portion here was the perfect amount, and I left neither too full nor still hungry. I was surprised that they have a variety of heat levels. I am a lover of spicy food, so I was delighted to see the options! I'm glad that we stopped by to try out 'Dave's Hot Chicken'! read more

I've heard a lot about Dave's hot chicken, so I went in with high expectations. And while those expectations were not fully met, it was still really good. The chicken that goes in the sliders is just the tenders, but the meat was nicely crispy with the inside still juicy. And I'm not someone who can usually handle a lot of heat, so I went with "medium" spiciness, but it did not seem spicy at all. If I went back, I would definitely try at least "hot". I do like that they give you extra pickles on the side though. read more

There are several shops in Denver that are serving up a delicious fried chicken sandwich, but Daves Hot Chicken is one of the best to do it! The location is perfectly situated on South Broadway in between all the bars and shops. We ordered the Dave's #2 which consists of 2 Sliders w/ Fries. We got cheese added to the two sliders and I highly recommend doing this. The coating on the chicken is well seasoned and crispy. The meat tasted very fresh and juicy. The spice levels are great, I ordered hot and it was the perfect amount of heat. The service was great and the food came out quickly despite there being a pretty big line. I'll be back whenever I'm craving a delicious, hot chicken sandwich! read more

This was the first Dave's I tried, even though I am from LA and remember the hype about their chicken in the early days ( I think I watched a special about it, idk). I wish I had tried it when they were more down home, little guys. Now they have blown up. And for great reason. Their product (every single thing I have tried) is extremely good. The spice levels of the chicken are legit, up to make you weep levels. The sides are *chef's kiss*. read more

Gabby served me here and with the most pleasant and helpful attitude! The food is insanely good and can't wait to go back! The service might have even trumped the food though! read more

Good option for a quick chicken sandwich. Kinda like a chicken version of five guys or shake shack, better than most other fast food options but still fast food. Ordered a single chicken sandwich and the fried chicken was really the star, nice and crispy with a great spice level. Fries were nice and crispy too. If your looking for a quick fast food chicken sandwich this would be one of my first choices read more

Like most of the new fried chicken places they only have tenders, either in a sandwich or on their own. So if you want to bite into a thigh or leg or wings, this is not the place. The chicken and fries were okay. The acoustics in that place are awful; I had to practically yell to give the gal my order and I couldn't hear what she was saying. I was happy when my order came so that I could get out of there. read more
