    I've been wanting to check this place out for a while! So good! So fresh!! So tender!!! The seasoning is just spot on! I got the hot, wife got the medium, kiddo got the mild! All tasted great!! None were greasy! The service was very friendly! The place was clean! Ambiance was as expected for a fried chicken joint. Fun. Loud. Lots of young folks. Prices were decent for a fried chicken joint! Bringing friends here for sure!

    Slider w/ medium heat was pretty dang good. Definitely packing some spice, but I wasn't sweating. Fries were crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside. To me, that's a sign that a food joint knows what they're doing. And strawberry shake was great. $15 meal? Pretty worth imo. My only complaint is that the chicken wasn't slider-shaped; it was still just a tender, so at the end I had a few bites of bun that I didn't bother eating.

    Vulgar graffiti inside the resturant

    Food was average for the price, service was not great, and they have "Fuck Ice" graffiti inside their store amongst other vulgarities.

    So delicious. The service is fast and the vibes are always immaculate. I love how quickly the food comes out and how hot and crispy the fries are. The outdoor seating is also perfect for enjoying a hot crispy chicken sandwich outdoors!

    Don't get me wrong, this place packs some heat. I went my middle eastern buddy and found out that this place actually only serves halal chicken which was a fun surprise. This specific restaurant attracts a very young "college crowd" which isn't bad or anything, just unique. The parking situation is not the best and you'll have to pay for parking there on top of everything. The prices are a little expensive but the portions are huge. I ordered their reaper 2 slider meal and it was a little over twenty bucks. They made me sign a waiver which was printed on receipt paper and I thought that was pretty funny. I love spicy food so taking down these two massive sliders was not a problem. Wish they had a wall of photos or t-shirt for people who completed the highest spice level. I feel like that would really make more people dare to try it.

    Dave's is a perfect spot if you're looking for an indulgent meal. Located on Platte St just steps from Common's Park, this Dave's location is consistently fast and the interior is fun with ski and chicken decor. We each ordered the one tender and one slider meal. You are able to pick your heat level. I like to get one piece of chicken in the medium rub and one in the hot rub. Each meal comes with fries and a special sauce. The star is always Dave's mac n cheese! It is a saucy Mac n cheese with a ton of flavor. I'd come here just for that!

    Inside...was busy during lunchtime

    First time having Dave's in Colorado. My youngest & I have been to the Artesia CA location previously and loved it. This time it was my oldest son's first ever experience with Dave's. Dave's in Highland definitely came through...it was really good!! We ordered the 2 slider combo...both hot, and 2 Al's carte tenders, 1 medium & 1 hot. The hot had a good amount of spice for sure, but wasn't so much so that it overpowered or distracted from the overall taste/flavor experience. Or at least that's what my boys told me...I was the "whimp" who had the medium tender...and loved every bit of it as well! The French fries were hot, crispy & well seasoned. The side of Dave's sauce compliments the fries so well, as it did the sliders & tenders. The kale slaw was great & love the pickles!! We had an excellent experience at Dave's Highlands and will be back soon without a doubt. The staff was extremely friendly and the whole place had a great vibe. Although it was quite busy at lunchtime the food came out quickly & was as fresh as cooked to order does. This location was just as good as the CA one for sure...so lucky to have them here in Colorado!

    Delicious and yes worth all of the rave! The chicken has a great crunchy exterior while keeping the moisture on this inside. The crinkle French fries were a great accompaniment with my chicken sandwich. The service was good and fast. I highly recommend coming over to have a gander and perhaps a bite or two.

    Yassss!!! Spicy chicken sandwiches go hard here at Dave's Hot! Be careful with the spice levels bc they can get HOT! Service is always great, and super fast! The murals and artsy decor here is amazing!!! Dave's Hot never disappoints!

    We asked if we could split the tenders 1/2 mild, 1/2 hot.  They even split fries for us!
    Leah P.

    It's everything you want! A few items done right! Simple! Clean, fun environment, urban vibes, fresh out of the fryer and into your gullet! Great quality all the way down to the pickles! I love hot food, and am often disappointed with the love of spice that some restaurants claim is hot, but this place will knock your tastebuds back with heat. The staff are friendly and accommodating as well. Would go back time and again.
