Wonderful food and great cashier super sweet think her name was Fernanda loves everything about the place

This place definitely hits! I always order between #3 or their #4 because who doesn't want an extra chicken tender with their sandwich? I like spice but not to where I am uncomfortably eating it. So, If you are the same then I recommend the Hot Spice level. You comfortably enjoy the heat. If you want a little more of a kick then the Extra Hot spice level will knock you off your feet! It's also very yummy. Don't forget to order it with cheese, it makes all the difference! 4 stars because I would love it if the chicken had a more crispy bite. The flavor is there but who doesn't like a good crunch to fried chicken! Their fries are the cherry on top. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are always served hot. Nothing beats a fresh batch of fries. Bathroom is clean. Cashiers are always very kind. To say the least, I've been here twice in the last week, ha! Pro Tip: don't order out. Make time to dine in. It does not taste the same when you order out. Fries and chicken get soggy. read more

Went here on Sunday 03/10/24. Very clean. Girl at the counter was friendly. I ordered the #3 one tender and one slider in medium heat. My buzzer beeped and they gave me the wrong order. A customer came over to me and said I had his order. If I had to do it over again I would have ordered it in mild. The medium seemed more like the hot flavor. Only negative was the price. It is high. read more

Inside decor is very cool. Trendy, even. Employees very pleasant. Fries were not that good. Please don't serve me 45 minute old fries. Your not fooling anyone. Chicken was decent. read more

Just not my vibe. The mild is sweet. Not saucy. And very bland like there is no seasonings. I got the 10 piece bite and ate 3 of them. Didn't like the sauce either. I'm sooo disappointed. First time def won't be back. read more

Really simple and exactly what I'm looking for in a hot chicken spot. "Slider" (which was plenty big) comes with slaw, pickles, and their sauce, all making for a perfect bite. I went with the "extra hot" which was really good with the sweet/sour on the slider, but when eating the tender alone you can definitely taste the spice. While it isn't super hot, my mouth was feeling it even after leaving the restaurant. Staff was friendly, food came out fast, and I thought it was really well priced for what you get. Tip: only have their spread sauce, ketchup, and honey packs. read more

Checked out this place for the first time and it didn't disappoint. The chicken was crunchy and crispy and my husband got the hottest flavor they had and it had him crying lol. It was busy the time we went so it's best to get there early before the crowd. Will try again. read more

The food was amazing, I love the great service from the moment you walk in the door. The ambiance of Dave's is super relaxed and welcoming! I got myself the slider and a tender with fries and a coke on the side. I also got myself a chocolate shake to take home which was super yummy. Juiciest chicken ever, I kept saying how it was the best chicken I ever had.. it was like the freshest chicken. Melt in your mouth and if I could've ate more I would've. I will definitely be back, and will recommend Dave's. read more

First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and certainly not my last. We arrived late afternoon on a Saturday and though surprised there wasn't a line, it did get really busy once we ordered. Love that you can choose your level of spiciness. Never thought to add honey to a spicy chicken sandwich, but it was so good. There was plenty of seating indoor and outdoor on their patio area. This location offered a free soda or milkshake when you check in on Yelp or leave a google review. read more

Very good eats I enjoyed the food a bunch it was very good service as well great amazing awesome

The tenders were crispy and juicy! They're pretty big and #4 with 1 slider would've been good enough but I got the #1. My husband got the #2 and Reaper heat which they made him sign a waiver. He ate it all but was dying lol The sauce that comes with it, to me was bland and I'm the tender is good enough to eat without it. The lady at the register must've been having a day but everyone else was very nice. Place was clean and nice outdoor sitting. read more

To me, when you come to a new place and a new concept, taste samples should be available upon request. I ask Ptool (our order taker) if sample of the mac & cheese were available as i can be very pick about my M&C. Ptool asked another worker who went in the back to ask if they did and when the other worker came back she told in a what are you crazy attitude. So i didnt get any M&C. Now I know its not much of a lost sale for them, but it sure would make me think twice about coming back. Especially since they then lost our order and after wait patiently for about 25 minutes my daughter said for fast food it taking a long time She went up front and was told they didnt know what happened. it tokk them another 7 min to get the food to us. The food itself was ok, but for the price of the chicken slider, I expected better. Frys were hot and tasty, and enjoyed these way more than the chicken. I did give the 3 stars because the order take Ptool was very friendly, but would have only given 1 star if not for the frys and Ptool read more

Place is nice and clean. The staff was friendly and conversational. Their menu is super simple which is great. The tenders and fries were freshly made, so it was nice to have popping hot food. I compared it to the competition across the street and Dave's Hot Chicken will be my go to place. The size of the tenders, the availability to pick out how spicy makes the difference. The pickles are great as well. read more

Dave's is the California chain that has tried to make a bid at commericializing the Nashville hot chicken flavor that has become the spicy alternative to Southern fried chicken. The chicken at Dave's is nicely cooked, and spice is both reminiscent of true Nashville hot chicken spice and yet adds a unique sweet twist. The pricing is reasonable, and the theme of the chicken shop is clearly urban culture. All that, with decent chicken, and Dave's still comes in a distant 3rd in Phoenix metro area for Nashville hot chicken flavor. The new Dave's hot chicken location in Gilbert AZ is located on the south east corner of Stapley and Baseline Rd. Its recent opening has both shrunk the lines at nearby chicken houses "Canes" and "Chick Fil A" and tried the patience of the block long line of cars that wait for a taste of Dave's. I've made 2 visits to Dave's in 3 days, and each time the wait of 20 minutes for dining in was worth the delay. The flavor of Dave's Hot Chicken includes a dry spice that is cooked nicely into the chicken breast tenders that they serve. But they are serving tenders, not the bone-in whole or quarter chicken breasts as the traditional Nashville hot chicken purists will know. The spice is dry applied before being deep fried and isn't dusted on post cooking, as is evident from the fact it cooks into the skin and fat. The crust of the chicken skin is very nice. But aside from the spice one can also taste sweet sugar. Dave's has blended in sort of sweet glaze into the spice, which is actually kind of unique for Nashville hot chicken. I personally don't want the tinge of sweet, but it is easy to see why so many people get addicted to Dave's.. sugar does that to you. The spice levels at Dave's are not at all that hot. I tried medium, all the way up to Reaper. The highest spice level at Dave's os thr equivalent of a true Nashville hot chicken medium spice. Dave's is clearly playing to the public penchant for moderate heat and topping it off with a little sweet. If you intend on trying to get a burn from Dave's, you may be disappointed. Still the flavor is good, and the chicken is cooked nicely. The prices, quantity of the tenders, and size of each tender tell a story of a good stab at commercializing Nashville hot chicken, but surrendering to small serving sizes, and watered down spices level to do so. I don't begrudge Dave's for their approach, but I won't go there to get the best hot chicken in Phoenix metro area- that crown still sits on the Crazi's Hot Chicken counter (with Monroe's come in a distant 2nd place). Still Dave's is worth eating if it saves the drive. And it is the nicest facility of all three to eat in, with its plentiful seating and moderated music levels. I will return to Dave's, but not as often as Crazi's. read more

Dave's Hot LIE. Negative -5 stars mainly due to the service and being accused of lying. The 1st time was great nice large size chicken in my sliders and tender. The 2nd time...DO NOT LEAVE THE DRIVE THRU WITHOUT CHECKING YOIR FOOD...EVER. These people gave me smalls asē half burnt chicken. When I took my order back inside because I was so confused. The guys tried to tell me..."this isn't what I handed out..." Sir why I got to lie... this chicken nugget size and piece together chicken is what I received from your window. I am not here to argue please refund me. As I wait for my refund not nar-one of the orders being handed out inside had small chicken pieces. He tried to point to a sign with a large chicken piece and a small chicken piece talking about difference in sizes. BoyBye why u handing out nuggets...no wonder the mascot got his mouth wide open...LIES. There will NOT be a 3rd time. read more

I ordered there 2 piece lite mild chicken strips, and fries. when I got them I got 3 pieces which was a surprise, but the covering of the chicken was strange. never seen a dry rub on chicken being severed that way. It stuck to your fingers and everything. It was like eating a dry powder rub. It did not taste very good, dry, I dipped it in the little cup they gave you. I guess it was fry sauce and it made it a bit better. Took what was lefts 2 1/2 pieces home and washed off all the powder coating and it was a lot better, still a bit spicy for lite mild coating. I would not recommend this place to anyone. chicken was moist inside, but I do not get it how people can eat a dry coating on chicken. read more

I tried it yesterday. Sandwich didn't have the spice I was looking for so I guess I have to order a little hotter next time. The portions were smaller than what I anticipated although asking if the slider is similar in size to other sliders from Chilis and other restaurants. The pictures always throw me off. The service was great and was very helpful. I'm definitely coming back with my wife. This place definitely replaced Canes for me. read more

Was told this place was amazing! So we drove straight over!!! And we weren't disappointed!! We all ordered the #4 Two were hot and Two were extra hot.. everything was so so delicious, the spice on the sandwiches were great, seasoning on the fries were good and their special dipping sauce was great too!! It's nice to go into a place that has great food, friendly employees and the atmosphere was so nice. There is a nice lively up to date vibe in Dave's! So if your looking for a gray spicy chicken spot this is the place to try! read more

So I've been to Dave's 3 times now. The quality of the food has been consistent every time. If you like spicy chicken this place is definitely worth a try. It's unique. one of the only hot chicken places around the area . I got medium spice , chicken sandwich was good , crunchy , good level of spice kick and the extra pickles are nice. The fries and Dave's sauce aren't anything too crazy but decent. The tenders are a good size with white meat inside. I've tried a few spice levels and even tried the reaper which was burning my mouth off! Definitely will keep coming back whenever I need some spicy chicken! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken sandwich and tender - Chicken Shop Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I'm a native of Nashville, Tennessee and am amazed at the number of hot chicken joints popping up across the country and especially here in the Phoenix area. First off, Dave's is not bad. Not great, but not bad. Nowhere close to say a Hattie B's, Princes or Big Shakes in Music City. Dave's is more in my opinion middle of the road when it comes to serving up hot chicken. The problem I have is that so many of these places don't serve chicken on the bone. I'm telling you folks, hot, spicy chicken on the bone is a completely different experience. As for Dave's tenders they were pretty good. Decent crunch, moist when you cut into it. I had the hot level which is two form the top being Reaper. Spice level was just right for hot. Just on the edge of having tears but not too much so I could still enjoy. Fries were crispy as well. Would really like to see them pair the basket with cole slaw as well which is a Nashville thing because it provides a little cooling if needed. Finally, if you are going to serve "Nashville" type hot chicken teach employees to express a little southern hospitality. It makes a world of difference what a smiling, engaged employee has on the customer experience.

Pretty good, i got the 2nd to hotest and that was SPICY!! Definitely will go back. Drive thru was fast,

Boy Howdy ~ On my 1st stop thru here, my Wife and I ordered TWO of the Slider Combos... Lemme tell ya, these "Sliders" should be called Sammiches... They are HUGE! And not only that, they are Delicious! We still order 2 of the Combos so that I can have 1 to take to work the next day (for lunch)! Great Dine-in Vibe, too! **) read more

So good. When you go there there's only one mistake you can make, and that's getting the reaper. Anything else is good.

it was packed but we got our food really fast and it was really delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful especially Ava.

Absolutely delicious! The Mac n cheese is a bit on the soupier side but I really enjoyed the seasoning on the fries (&the cheese!) and chicken. I got the medium level for heat. Staff was friendly and the service was quick. Will certainly be going back! read more

This wasn't really too bad, but now that I've had a chance to compare CFA, Popeye's and Dave's all in a close timeframe, I have to go with Popeye's as the best chicken sandwich. read more

Nice spicy chicken, tasty fries and slaw. It's a great spot to cure the munchies. If it were closer to the house it could be problematic.

Delicious chicken, minimal menu but makes it easy to decide what you want. The levels of spice vary enough for all audiences.

The food is really good! Probably my #1 favorite to get hot chicken at! I've been to this one and one in California and the service / employee was amazing, especially with how busy it gets they were still really nice. Definitely 10/10 Their fries and sauce is good as well! And definitely relatively cheaper then other places read more

Service ok but your HOT (even you still have 2 more levels hotter) but what I have to do for your Hot tenders just throw away! It is so terrible HOT! Will be my first time and last time! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Terrible HOT tenders! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Excellent Staff! Zero wait time! Payton was amazing!! Chicken was hot and crispy! We will definitely be back!

Check marks for size, flavor, and juiciness on the tenders. All of the flavors are relatively on the same heat spectrum, BESIDES the reaper. The reaper is on another dimensional plane compared to the other spice levels on the menu. It kicks you in the throat down to you're stomach. I've had Da Bomb and other explosive sauces. There's a reason why everybody needs to sign a waiver. Be warned and start with tiny bites, if you're willing! Spiciness Comparison Extra Hot - 2/10 Reaper 8/10 read more
