    Dave's Hot Chicken is my new chicken place. With customizable heat levels and genuinely good vegetarian options, this has become a go-to for me when I'm craving protein. While I am not vegetarian, one of the folks I live with is. I wish more chicken places had a cauliflower option like Dave's does, because it's so easy to get something for everyone in my house when we start getting that spicy craving. 5 words: Dave's Hot Chicken with honey. Just trust me on this one. This spicy, sweet, and perfectly crispy combo is easily addictive and will get you as hooked on Dave's as I've become. While I haven't eaten in a Dave's yet, only ordered take-out through a meal delivery app, they are always super quick and I get my food while the chicken is still hot and fresh. Give this place a shot!

    took a decent amount of time to receive my food but oh well i can live with that and me and my buddy are patient. my only issue is that my chicken was damn near raw, and my strawberry milkshake tasted like straight foam. i won't be returning.

    Very good tenders and fries. Excellent coating chicken tender and moist. Great to see new location in Springfield on Mohawk St. Went through drive thru it was very fast.

    Tried this chicken spot recently. The food was okay nothing special or memorable, just average. The service was good though, friendly and quick. I'd eat here again if it was convenient, but it's not something I'd go out of my way for or crave.

    Dave's is one of those spots I usually only go to after being out for the night. They are one of the few places open late in Eugene and is super close to the popular college bars. I can't say how good the food is on a typical day but I do know that their hot tenders are so very scrumptious after consuming 4 shots of tequila and a few amfs. A group of friends and I came the other week around 1:30am and it was still extremely busy. This night we thought it would be best to order an entire platter of tenders and fries because we would save a few dollars and it was definitely one of our better ideas. Even though having an order so large so late must of been a hassle, the staff was so nice and accommodating.

    Food and service was great this past week when we went in! Tried the mac and cheese for the first time and it was really bland honestly but the chicken was super good! Huge portions, tasty and perfectly cooked. Lots of tables around to sit.

    Food was fresh, lots of flavor, good portions and the staff were nice and helpful. I got the mild version it's perfect for me. Lots of seasoning but in the best way! Even the fries are seasoned!

    Wow....this place rocks. We've been hearing about Dave's Hot Chicken for a while now. Tonight, we decided to trek into town to try them out. I can say, We are 100% not disappointed. The chicken is cooked hot ( like, not spicy, just cooked hot) and the taste is to die for. I got two sliders (which are a very good size for being sliders) with hot and extra hot seasoning. I gotta stress, spicy foods to me taste mild(ish) at best, so be forewarned, it's possible the hot and extra hot are out of some peoples taste pallets). The Fries are delicious. My wife really enjoys her mild slider and tender (she could only eat half her meal). The music they were playing was good music. The decor is kind of like modern graffiti style. This is definitely a place to try if you've never had before. And grab the app and earn rewards to get free food!

    Well, I've been hearing all this noise about Dave's Hot Chicken being the Chik-fil-a killer... I just had to try it myself. Ok... it's good, but comparing it to Chik-fil-a isn't really a good way to think of Dave's. This is a unique product that is quite good. I took the family (5 of us) and the total bill was $80 so not too bad. I had the sliders and as spicy stuff can really go wrong with me... I ordered the mild and the medium spice levels. Not too hot but not boring either. I liked the fries, as crinkle cut fries go they were nicely crunchy and seasoned without being obnoxious. From the time we ordered to the time our food arrived was about 10 minutes. The folks taking orders and getting the food out to customers were all pleasant and friendly. The restaurant itself is colorful and somewhat noisy but not so noisy we couldn't have pleasant conversation at our table. A group of 5 was tight at their tables so more than 5 would probably need to take two tables. I made a special trip to try Dave's Hot Chicken tonight. I probably won't make a special trip again, but if I'm in Eugene and feel like a tasty, reasonably priced, chicken forward dinner I'd go again. Definitely worth a try... I saw a guy eating the hottest spice level... he was sweating and had tears and snot running out of his face... I guess it's spicy.

    Krispy Krunchy Chicken is a national chain specializing in Louisiana-style Cajun fried chicken…read more They also have fried fish and shrimp. Sides include red beans & rice, jambalaya, mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese. If you're noticing similarities to Popeye's, you're not alone. This location is right next to the Buy 2 on Olive & Broadway. They were out of drumsticks so I went for cajun chicken tenders, and I a ordered a honey butter biscuit, red beans & rice, and jamablaya. I also got two boudin bites -- small battered balls of rice, pork & cajun seasonsins. Overall everything was pretty good and flavorful. The tenders were not too spiced and went well with honey-mustard sauce. The red beans & rice reminded me a lot of Popeyes, and the jambalaya had chunks of chicken & pork. The boudin bites were decent with a nice little spicy kick. The biscuit definitely delivered with the rich honey butter flavor. It was a bit decadent. They also offer a blueberry biscuit. The person working there was very nice & helpful and even offered me a small sample. And the prices were just right. The next time you get that Popeye's craving, it's worth stopping in here.

I went with a friend to go Christmas shopping, and we decided on lunch here. There was no line when we arrived, so we really lucked out there. The line formed right after we ordered. I ordered a deuce deuce with pickles added, and asked for extra pickles, plus fries and a drink. I can't remember what my friend ordered besides chili cheese fries. The whole thing cost like $35 for two of us. Which these days isn't too bad. I certainly wasn't complaining. The woman who took our order and made our food was super friendly and helpful. She obviously enjoyed her job, and I appreciate that. Food was all delicious, and exactly as we'd ordered it. I had absolutely no complaints, and I was full when it was done. Ambiance is a mall food court, and it was during the holidays. So nothing special. But it is what it is. This seems like a great small local business with good food and low prices to support. I will definitely come back.

After parking and walking in there was nobody at the counter. We waited for about 5 minutes as my son really wanted a burger. Unfortunately nobody ever came and we went to Panda Express instead. Bummer, because we wanted to try it out. After eating our food about 15 minutes later two employees showed up at the front counter? Won't waste my time to come back.
