    Visited Dave's Hot Chicken while in Gilbert for lunch after driving by it countless times since they opened -- a friend (Teresa) finally gave me the push to stop in. The atmosphere was very casual and laid-back, with a lively buzz, varied seating, and both indoor and outdoor options. The service was friendly and efficient, especially considering how busy the place was. Tried the hot chicken -- a nice, solid piece with good crunch and flavor; timing may not have been ideal after just having Hattie B's in Nashville, but it still held its own. Next time I'll definitely go a level hotter. The crinkle-cut fries were a standout -- crispy and done right. Overall, a great spot for locals and worth a return visit. Saluti

    Second time trying Dave's, went back to try the new mozzarella sticks. Overall really good and not as greasy as the last time I tried. Love the slider buns. Just a tad salty on the rub.

    With so many options for chicken out there is do I prefer it to the competition? The easy answer is yes. It's a quality piece of chicken breast breaded and fried with a good level of spices and seasoning. It's crispy and juicy with a good salt level and give you the kick of spice you choose. The bun is good as are the crinkle cut fries. The service is friendly and knowledgeable and the kids seem happy to be working there. As for the dining room. It's pretty basic but clean and very casual and comfortable enough like a school cafeteria. You're not going here for a 3 star plus experience. Most people are using the drive thru or taking their meal to go. They are opening much closer to where I live so I will most likely make this a regular stop when looking for a good chicken sandwich.

    Wanted some fried chicken and my friend told me about this place. I was little disappointed to see that it did not have regular fried chicken, just chicken strips or tender what ever you want to call it. Chicken strips is my least favorite part/style of fried chicken. But I said meh. I'm already here so I'll give it a try. The girl taking my order was very helpful and suggested I order #3, which came with one strip, one slider, and fries. Ordered extra hot since I didn't feel like being in pain later and ordering the hottest. Well I was pleasantly surprised to find out that chicken was yummy. I have to say probably my favorite chicken strip place I have been to. The breading is not too much like one across the street. Had nice crisp and flavor. Extra hot did sneak up me. It wasn't crazy hot but enough to let me know it was hot. Fries were also nice and crispy. Slider was nice and simple, with dash of coleslaw and pickle. Over all this place was pretty darn good. The portion you get for the price I thought it was fair. I would definitely come back here again.

    I've been to Daves a couple times now and I'd say the food is decent. I feel like the chicken itself doesn't really have any flavor to it, instead it's just a lot of cumin, cajun, and other seasonings. The portion of the chicken is sometimes good, somedays you'll get small portions of chicken. I feel like the prices are a little too much considering the food itself doesn't come with a drink. It's like $15+ if you want a 'meal' with a drink. Also it comes with a little container of their sauce that's like half full and if you want more they charge you for it. So if you want chicken tenders and fries I'd definitely say there are better options than this. Other than that I will say the restaurant is very clean, considering they are always so busy. The workers are always on top of everything and they make sure the tables are wiped down for other customers. The workers were also very friendly and give fast service.

    As a vegetarian, the Cauli Slider was the best thing I've eaten in a minute. I was at a Yelp event a few months ago and, as always, I asked everyone what the best thing they've eaten recently is and someone said, the Cauli slider at Dave's. It took me too long to follow up, but I'm so glad I did! I trucked my husband over to Gilbert today to try Dave's Hot Chicken. I ordered a Cauli slider, cheese fries, and drink. Armando was great and bundled it as a meal to save me money and also offered advice on spice level. My meal was around $17. While we waited on our order, we got to look at the fun graffiti-style art and enjoy the skater/beach vibe. My slider had slaw, sauce, and cheese and was perfect crispy goodness. Medium was warm but not hot--I'd probably bump up to hot next time (I order my Thai food medium as a point of reference). One slider seemed like a lot of food to me--more like a full-sized sandwich. The crinkle cut fries were crispy and well seasoned. All and all, an excellent comfort food experience. Shout out to the manager who checked in. I would have raved about how good everything was but my mouth was very full. Which is probably the same thing. Will be back. Probably often.

    DAVE'S #3: 1 TENDER & 1 SLIDER W/ FRIES - Extra hot
    Tatiunna P.

    I had been wanting to try Dave's for months and finally got the chance. Right when I walked in, I noticed how clean the place was and how friendly the staff were -- always a big plus. I ordered Dave's #3, which comes with one tender, one slider, and fries for $13.29. At first, I thought the price was a little high considering it doesn't include a drink, but the pieces of chicken were big and the portion of fries was generous. The chicken was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. The "extra spicy" definitely lived up to its name -- it was very spicy -- but I love heat, and the Dave's sauce helped balance it out nicely.

    Absolutely amazing customer service! Our cashier was Mando and he was very kind! This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and Mando was helpful in explaining to me the menu and recommending what I should try. I ended up ordering the not-chicken slider which was delicious! Definitely a good spot if you are vegetarian/vegan. We also got a free drink for being first time customers.

    Great spot for drive through or carry out. There are tables inside but no table service. Cool looking building inside and out with the graffiti and decorations. Their meals come with "sliders" but don't let the name fool you. They are big. I like spicy foods but I also like to taste good flavor. I got medium hot - it was the right spice level.

    This young lady took my order and missed a couple things that I asked for and when I went back in there to ask for it she said she'd charge me for what I asked even thought I paid for the items already..

    Hot Sliders....I'm giving you a shot
    Jon H.

    My friend keeps raving about Dave's Hot Chicken, specifically the sliders. I've never been so tonight we went so I could give them a taste. I'd say it was a solid 3.75 stars but I rounded up :) The store was clean and the staff were pleasant. No complaints there at all! I got the #3 Dave's Chicken Slider and Tender (Hot) with fries. The Sliders and Tender were very crispy, which I enjoyed. I'd definitely say the sliders are better than the tenders though, no contest. The "Hot" was kinda mild for me...I think if I go back I'll select the next heat level up (I like it spicy!). The chicken was good though & moist. Fries were crunchy with some sweetness to them. Overall the food was good...didn't blow my socks off but still, I liked what I ate. I left full and satisfied :) On a scale of 1 - 10......I'm sure my friend will talk me into coming back again and I'll be good with that. I'll go double sliders and kick up the spicy next time though.

    Fast friendly service. Came my lunch break had 20min.. they were pretty busy drive thru took 10-15 mins. Fries were really good perfect crisp with seasoning. Ckn choose ur spice, I did mild-not spicy, both good but ckn coulda been better,assuming how it was cooked not the recipe itself, the seasoning was on point. Everything looked well together and clean exterior was well kept. Chill clean vibes.

From the moment we walked in, the employees were welcoming and genuinely friendly, which set a great tone for the visit. I ordered the corned beef and pastrami on marble rye, and it did not disappoint. The meat was high quality, flavorful, and the portion was very generous--I could only finish half. My husband had the spicy BLT, and it was just as impressive in both quality and size. Each sandwich comes with a bag of Ruffles and a pickle, which is a nice touch. What really surprised us was the price. Our total bill was very reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes and overall quality. I definitely recommend giving it a visit--great food, friendly service, and excellent value.

I mean really paper in the sandwich see pic. This is more than careless preparation. The NY Yankee is a 20.00 Sandwich and they made it on marble rye that was stale and hard. It was impossible for them to not know that the bread was stale and hard. The order was at 10:15 AM so it was not a situation where it sat out long enough in the day to get hard. This had to be yesterdays stale bread. I have to ask who does this? Do they think the customer is going to find this acceptable? Paper on the cheese and stale bread on a 20.00 sandwich. There is genuinely no excuse for this and who ever prepared this food needs to be either reprimanded or terminated. You have one job and that is to make a quality product. If things like this are happening it makes me wonder what other corners are cut and if there is actually any manager overseeing quality and safe practices! I would give zero stars if that was an option.

Their part of a…read moresmall strip mall & they share dining space (and the kitchen?) with the taco place next door. While we were dining, it got very busy & as we were wondering where everyone was going to sit, people started walking through the glass door between the two eateries. Drinks: lots of choices. We opted for the $16 horchata flight (flan, strawberry, mocha, espresso). The former two were my favs because I don't like coffee, but my sister def enjoyed the latter two. Food: hefty breakfast sandwich w/ sausage, cream ala creme (biscuit & fruit), BHH French toast w/ bacon. The sammy was made w/ three eggs so it was a large sammy, kinda messy. I think they need to spread out the eggs a bit more so they cover more space & don't slip out from between the bun as easily. The hashbrowns were perfectly crispy. The French toast was also a hefty serving, especially w/ the bacon tacked on. The biscuit came out w/o the whipped cream, but the young gentleman quickly brought it out when I pointed out it was M.I.A. It was not as sweet as I was expecting; not sure I'd get that again. Service: great. Order at the counter, get a number, sit down, & it's brought to you -- and it was brought out very quickly.

They do have alcohol as well for those who like a boozy brunch. As for the food, I judge places by their biscuits and gravy... And this was one of my favorites. The biscuit was juicy, buttery perfection and the gravy was real, not the bland packet gravy some places use. The bacon came out at the exact crispness for the best melt in your mouth bite, and they were huge pieces. The hashbrowns were good, nothing fancy though. Eggs cooked perfect (over easy for me). I also got the mocha iced latte and it was very chocolate forward, not much coffee flavor, but still tasty. My only complaint, and I mean ONLY complaint, is that price point. I spent $25 for the biscuits and gravy with a coffee and left hungry. I think had they given me two biscuits instead of just one, maybe that would fix everything. Nevertheless, I do recommend trying this place out
