It was ok. I compare it to Angry Chixz. Angry Chixz has way bigger servings. Dave's has way better fries. I got the bites. When they arrived, they looked dried and burnt but they were actually good. They serve a piece of bread with the order. Unfortunately, it is the cheap stuff. Same one they serve at Rudys. The order of 4 sliders was ok. They were small, like slider bites. I don't like the way they advertise their pricing. Say the slushi. Its $3.99 them in smaller print $2 add-on for pop it candy to add to it. Yes the prices are in there, I just don't like how they are shown. It was clean , on the smaller side. read more

Had my first and last one on Monday. Had the medium hot and hated the powder they duped it into. What the hell! Had it all over my hands and couldn't get past the fact it was dipped into some kind of flavored flour! Never again read more

I was able to try Dave's Hot Chicken thanks to my sister who brought it home. A week later, I went to the restaurant for dinner and wanted to order a 4 piece meal like you would at Cane's. I was shockingly met with an astonishing high price of $28.00 with one drink for 4 pcs. Canes charges $11.58 for the Box Combo of 4pcs. I know this is the new crave, the Louisiana taste but after this hype, DHC willl price themselves out of competition. Be prepared to shell out some Benjamins when dining with your family. Price to value does not match. It's on the high side. The positive....chicken is good. read more

Very unique style of chicken that was fun to try! Prices here are pretty high for it being fast food but i will say it does fill you up. I really like the fried mozzarella that they have going right now. Lots of seasoning options too! I tried the mild medium and hot and from medium to hot was a decent jump up! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Daves Big Trio - Chicken Shop Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

Dave's didn't do anything wrong, I just didn't enjoy the Chicken. The spice didn't bother me, it just wasn't my favorite chicken. There are now so many chicken sandwich restaurants, I am on clucking overload I guess! I did go through the drive-thru and experienced no issues. The employees were polite and the restaurant always looks shiny clean. I did think that the seasoned fries were pretty good though. I guess, you will have to try it yourself. I see that many do think Dave's is the shiznit! read more

I decided I wanted to try some "chain places" around our area and we landed here. I mentioned it was our first time ordering and that I needed some help figuring it all out and the worker was friendly but.. the music was SO loud that I don't think she truly heard me or maybe she didn't care because she didn't offer any help. There isn't much seating inside if you go during lunch and don't want to sit ontop of a neighbor so we opted to sit outside where we also thought it would be a bit quieter ... but it isn't. Food was ok... service... ok ambience LOUD will I be back? Probably not with so many other options for chicken around but it was nice to try something new. read more

Never had an issue with Daves, before today. Went down here to get some bites and cheese fries. 3 things.... 1. No silverware. How are you supposed to eat cheese fries and bites without a fork. I mean, its doable, sure, but unless you want to caveman it with your hands, a fork comes in handy. 2. 9 bites. I know its a small complaint, but its 10 bites in the order, and I only got 9. 3. No receipt. I enter the receipt code for my points, couldnt do that with this order. Drive through lady was nice, food was great as usual, but those 3 things killed the vibe today. read more

This was our first time dining in. The seating inside is minimal, but there are tables outside. The staff here was friendly. We ordered Dave's #1 and Dave's #2, both hot and with a side of Mac n cheese. Both were very good. A good amount of heat and the chicken was juicy. The Mac n cheese was pretty good! The only downside is that 2 Dave's #1s and 1 Dave's #2 with 2 medium drinks cost us almost $45. It's a lot of money for the food you get (to include a slice of sandwich bread). read more

The food, this is my fifth visit, is so spectacular! I get the 'mild' chicken sandwich and fries. Outstanding! It was about 11:00 a.m. so it was only one person ahead of me and then for that followed behind me. It takes a few extra minutes than a typical fast food place... But that's what separates this food from other fast food. It is really, really good! read more

This was a pretty good experience for us! The food here is great! The flavor and spice level were almost perfect at a medium. I could almost go a little hotter. The portions are generous, but this place is on the expensive side ($50 for two people with tip). My only real complaint is that the music was insanely loud, to the point we just went to eat outside. That sounds like an old person complaint though for two people in their 20's. It also didn't help that the seating inside was in need of a little cleaning. Overall a good trip and we will be back. read more

I like this place a good bit. Consistently good and repetitive. I get the non chicken options just because I'm not a huge chicken fan. The Cauliflower bites are super good! They have a nice crunch and aren't soggy like you might expect. The meals are a great size and can be ordered with or without fries. The loaded fry is a new fav of mine! Service is always fast and friendly. The restaurants are cool, graffiti spray decor on the walls. Restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Late dinner and a wonderful surprise. Arrived to find a line inside and a line wrapped around the building outside. I ordered three medium spiced tenders with fries. Holy crap, the chicken was tender and juicy while being perfectly seasoned. The fries were hot and crispy, and again perfectly seasoned. After ordering and paying for my food, I was given my receipt with the number to have a seat and await my meal. The atmosphere is a traditional restaurant with seating and self-serve beverages. read more

Pleasant surprise. The chicken was seasoned very well and was crispy! We got plain and mild. The mild was not too spicy and I'll definitely go up a notch next time I come in. The fries were all crunchy. Their house sauce was a little underwhelming, tasted like ketchup and mayo with some other seasoning. The size of the chicken strips were amazing! The atmosphere and staff were very welcoming. 3*** = Good but no separation from similar restaurants 4**** = Set themselves a part and their food is different and I want to go back. 5*****= You have to go out of your way and make a special trip to try the deliciousness that is there! read more

Decent first experience at Dave's Hot Chicken. I went on a Friday around 2pm and it was surprisingly busy. Almost every table was occupied. It's not a massive restaurant on the inside, so depending on how busy it is, you may want to consider drive-through. For food my partner and I both got Dave's #3 which comes with a tender and a slider. We're open to spice but opted for Medium heat level to play it safe. We both found the Medium to be quite mild and agreed next time we would try Hot instead. The chicken itself is actually really good. The tenders were juicy and flavorful. The fries were good as well, fresh and crispy. I think some tenders don't work great for the sliders however. My slider had a very skinny tender, so only like half of my bites actually contained any chicken. My partner didn't have this issue. But for this reason, next time I'll stick with tenders and pass on the sliders. I also got a frozen lemonade which was an absolute joke of a drink. The drink was not mixed at all. The ice was clumped together and didn't work with the straw. So all I was getting was the juice/syrup, leaving behind a cup of clear ice. The service was friendly. Although I had a hard time hearing the team member while ordering. It's very echoey and loud inside. They could benefit from some sort of sound-proofing on the walls. Despite some of these callouts, I'll definitely return to Dave's very soon. The food was good and they're a unique addition to this area of Goodyear. read more

I'm a fan of Dave's Hot Chicken, but unfortunately this location was disappointing. The place was out of stock with napkins and utensils, tables were not clean, and the food itself did not taste made to order hot. The chicken is usually pretty tender but this location served semi dry and lukewarm tenders. It's unfortunate because this location is so close but this experience may keep me from going as much as I would have. read more

Finally made it in to the Goodyear location. I was able to try the Dave's hot chicken mild. It wasn't as spicy as I'd hoped so I'll probably go up a spice next time. They give extra butter pickles which I appreciate. It did take awhile for my order but I think that's just how fresh the food is made! The Mac and cheese was really yummy and had good flavor! read more

Tried out this place on 7/30 around 1230pm. The girl at the counter was very nice and took our order with ease. We got 5 meals & 4 drinks the total was around $70, a lil pricey for me but it was good. I got 2 -1 slider combos, 2-2 tender combos & a 10 piece meal. The seasoning on the fries was delicious, I would ask for extra next time. I also really like the Dave's sauce (more than cane's). All the sliced picles we got tasted bitter (not in a good way). Spice level from, no spice to hot. The spicy flavors were really good. The no spice was lacking in flavor. It was not super busy inside but their was enough room for us to sit. Would definitely back. read more

So glad to have a new chicken place nearby and I was pleased with the portions I ordered the slider tender meal with fries and the chicken pieces are really big and filling , I ended up getting a medium and mild heat and I would say mild is about the lowest you would want to go cause medium had no heat at all. I do wish they would give you a sauce for each chicken but overall I will be back to try something else. read more

Super busy place so much so I almost gave up. I was pleased to see the staff working very fast and friendly to take and fill orders. As fast can be without loosing quality. I really enjoyed the slider but I think it's more of a sandwich. The sauce is tasty and just burst with flavor. I need to go back and try some different heat levels. Store was clean even though there was a lot of traffic. Bathrooms were clean. read more

Absolutely in love with Dave's Hot Chicken. The chicken is so juicy and flavorful, easily my second favorite chicken tender spot. I love that you can choose your spice level and even how much seasoning they add, which makes it perfect for the whole family. The sauce is to die for, the coleslaw is fresh and delicious, and the side of pickles adds the perfect touch. Really happy we decided to try this place. read more

Ordered the number 2 that comes with two sliders and fries ! Gotta say the sliders were amazing and I added honey and Dave's chicken sauce and it was the perfect bite. We also order cheese but that was not given in our order. Always make sure to check your order before driving off ! read more

Honestly wasn't very impressed for the amount of hype this place gets. The flavor was ok but nothing great. We got the Medium thinking they'd be spicy but it wasn't spicy at all. Fries were OK, the secret sauce was blah... The wait was 34 minutes in the drive thru, sadly this will probably be my one and done. Much better cheaper and faster options out there. read more

Tried Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time in California and was super excited when they opened in Goodyear, just minutes from where I live. The service is great, and the food is even better! My go-tos are the chicken bites or the sliders in medium, and their macaroni and cheese is absolutely delicious. Yesterday I went through the drive-thru and the young lady, Yasell, accidentally dropped my card while handing it back. I offered to get it, but she insisted, stepped outside, and handed it back to me--such a kind gesture that really stood out. Great food, great service, and now one of my favorite spots! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Good, but Not Perfect I had been hearing a lot of hype about Dave's Hot Chicken, so I finally decided to give it a try. The vibe inside was fun and casual, with graffiti-style walls and quick service, which definitely set the tone. The Chicken The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the spice levels are no joke. I liked that they offer everything from No Spice all the way up to Reaper. That said, while the chicken had good heat, I felt like the flavor leaned more on spice than seasoning--it's hot, but it's not as complex as I expected. The Sides The fries were okay--crispy enough, but nothing that stood out compared to other spots. The slaw added some freshness, but it wasn't anything I'd go out of my way for. The Dave's sauce helped tie things together, though it reminded me of other chicken spot sauces I've had before. The Experience The food came out quickly, which I appreciated, but the portions felt a little on the smaller side for the price. It's definitely more of a quick stop for a spicy chicken fix than a place I'd sit down and enjoy a full meal. Final Thoughts Dave's Hot Chicken is solid if you're craving heat and crispy chicken, but I don't know if it fully lives up to the hype. I'd go back if I was nearby and wanted something quick and spicy, but it's not a spot I'd rush across town for. read more

Absolutely amazing tasting food! I always ordered via DoorDash or pickup so my food was ready on time everytime. I've seen long drive through lines but I can't say I've used it. The food tastes so good and never disappoints read more

Make sure you check your bags when you leave this location. Seems like they have some incompetent people working. I didn't get any of my extra sauces that I spent money on. I also didn't get any of the utensils, napkins, honey packets or ketchup I added to the order. On top of that, they won't let you pick up to go orders through the drive through. No car in line or anything and I still had to go inside and stand in line and be ignored over and over again. What could have been a 1 minute pick up turned into me standing there for 10 minutes. Thanks for the crappy experience. read more
