    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!

    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!

    No receipt, this was the only identifiable paper trail I have.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    We liked it, we had the chicken tenders combo, and it was perfect for one person, the place is cool with the wall art. And the service was okay could have been a little bit more friendly. If you like spicy this is the place for you.

    Definitely needed to go try it out. During their opening weekend we saw crazy lines, but it was worth it. Music is right, and the flavors are on point! The whole family was pleased we were patient and stayed

    Decided to try this place out. Not a bad spot decent prices different range of hotness. I got the #1 tenders they were good. Their special sauce you get on the side was ok not the biggest fan. But the chicken and fries was delicious. Gotta try their shakes next time

    Babu G.

    Dave's hot is always a solid spot to visit for a quick bite of solid chicken sandwiches. They have multiple spice levels for everyone and their sauce is amazing! The servers were quick and got our food out in a timely manner. Their insides are always nice and clean overall a solid spot.

Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. We ordered and were asked if we were dining in or taking our food to go. We said dining in, but there were no open tables inside (around 12 total) and zero tables available outside. We ended up waiting in the back for a table to open while staff repeatedly walked around looking for our table number, never once asking if the order might be ours. After several minutes, someone finally asked if we were number 11. We were. Once seated, the decor was cute, but service was mediocre at best. The food was the biggest disappointment. It had been a while since we last visited, and it's definitely not the same. The rice was bland and flavorless, and the gyro meat tasted like frozen, reheated product -- very dry, with the main flavor being salt. Instead of the fresh-carved gyro meat you typically see on a vertical rotisserie at most Greek restaurants, the kitchen area was closed off, so there was no visible preparation or carving station. For nearly $50, the experience simply did not match the price. Between the disorganized service and underwhelming food, we won't be back. Next time, we'll stick to supporting East Valley Greek spots that offer better quality and value. I want to preface, this place used to be good. Not sure of ownership changed, but save yourself a trip and find something better and more affordable

Thank you Tony for braving that heat to cook for us, always with a huge smile! As noted food is cooked to order so it takes a little bit. They do list cook times on their website and you can call ahead. I hear they sometimes run out of some options, but everything is fantastic so just pick something else. Or call ahead! The standard order is a meal with grilled veggies and sauce and rice and some shirazi salad. I like to do just the skewers with the chimi sauce (very different than other chimichurri I've had, but good!) and a large order of shirazi salad and eat that with fresh lavosh from the Middle Eastern store next door. I can't say I have a favorite meat option because they are all so good!! I also saw they're running a lunch special now. Great deal!
