Chicken and fries were good, seasoned real nice. I got medium heat and it really wasn't hot at all but it was my first time so I was playing it safe. I'd definitely go hotter next time. They were kinda skimpy with the Dave's sauce though which was a little crazy since their tenders are huge. Still solid overall just wish they gave a little more sauce. read more

Chicken was good, fries were great. Price was way too much for what you got. The service was good and restaurant was clean. I don't get the hype honestly. I don't see this restaurant chain surviving long term. read more

Friendly service and clean. I love spicy but should have ordered medium instead of the spiciest! read more

They aren't playing with the hot, here. I was a little worried at first. The combo options were made up of either chicken tenders or that same tender as a slider. I worried that these were going to be the size of other fast food spots and I was going to be $15 in and still hungry. That was all misplaced. These tenders are big. Those sliders? Those are full-size hamburger buns and the tenders don't look out of place. The flavor is great! I went with "HOT" and I'm glad I didn't go higher because my body temp definitely rose while eating. The chicken is fried to order and covered in the spice blend, so you'll need a couple of extra napkins. The fries are also spiced, but not nearly as heavily. I ended up not being able to finish the slider after eating the tender. Quite a bit of food. The place was basically spotless. Very clean and colorful! Finally, the staff seemed genuinely excited to be working there and asked me multiple times if I had everything I needed. They were awesome! read more

Haven't had Dave's since LA and honestly... I think my soul left my body and came back just to say "thank you." Picked up my order, staff were smiling like they KNEW I was about to ascend. Place was so clean I would've eaten the chicken off the floor if I had to. Then the food hit. Bro. That chicken was so good I almost texted my ex just to say "we're done, I found someone new." The mac & cheese? That thing didn't just slap--it dropkicked me into another dimension. I literally reconsidered my entire life path mid-bite. Dave's Hot Chicken should come with a warning label: "May cause emotional breakdowns, spiritual awakenings, and spontaneous proposals." read more

So many things to discuss. First, be patient. This ain't fast food. Everything is fried to order, so one can wait 10-15 minutes before your food is served. Longer if the counter staff isn't paying attention. I ordered a 2 tenders meal with fries & soft drink. The strips were as large as I've ever seen. Juicy and piping hot. The fries were still crisp, but not as hot as the chicken. Now, let's talk heat. After all. This is Dave's Hot Chicken. Wisely, I ordered Hot. Honestly, if I'd gone with Extra Hot or Reaper I think I'd be in urgent care. My eyes were watering after one bite. I refreshed my stash of napkins several times being careful not to touch my eyes as I dried the tears. I'd respectfully suggest you start medium and work your way up on the heat scale. I do think Dave's is heavy on the dry rub. At times I felt I was inhaling the "dust" from the seasoning. Also, kudos to the soft drink manager. The dispenser served a perfect seltzer to syrup ratio. It came in handy, I swear I had to refill my drink 4 times. That's two per tender. I left with lips on fire and a cup of ice. Would I go back? Hell yes. But I'd go medium and save my lips from blistering. read more

Stopped in on a Thursday mid-afternoon to avoid the crowds, and it was good timing. There was no wait to place my order and I got my food within 20 minutes. The fries = excellent. Hot, crisp, well seasoned. They use crinkle cut. The tenders = huge, and I loved the hot rub! Perfect spice level and amount. I tried the combo with one tender and one slider. The slider was fantastic. Super fresh, pillowy bun, the kale slaw gave it a solid flavor, and I loved the thick cut pickles. I'll be repeat customer for sure; my only current complaint is no drive-thru, but still worth waiting around inside. Total for two combos and a drink was $28. read more

Wife and I went to the new Dave's Hot Chicken in Clarksville, IN. It was swamped at 3:46pm on a Saturday. We found 1 table available to sit at. When we left about 30 minutes later it was near empty. Sadaya was our friendly order taker. Chris was the friendly manager. The orders moved along fast enough. I asked for heat just below needing a waiver signed. I tried the heat requiring waiver somewhere else and won't do it again. Today I ordered Extra Hot and wife ordered Mild. Extra Hot wasn't even hot which is strange because there was only 1 hotter, called Reaper, requiring a waiver to be signed. We both ordered the #1 which includes fries for $11.99. There are other sides like Mac & Cheese or Kale Salad. We got two small pieces of plain white bread, a few pickle slices and some sauce with our meals. I ate all my food. Wife didn't eat her bread and half of her fries. My fries were extra crispy as requested. The food was okay. The seating was hard. The tables were bare, without even napkins. THAT should change. If you eat there, be sure to grab PLENTY of thin napkins at the front where you get your meal. The ambiance must be for the younger generation. Wife and I didn't find it appealing. I don't see us visiting another Dave's Hot Chicken again. There are several other chains like Joella's, Raising Cane's and Zaxby's, to mention a few that we visited with more comfort and appealing ambiance. Food is somewhat comparable with all of those. Some folks may like it well enough to visit more than once. read more

First time visitor, I was amazed at the level of friendliness from the staff and cleanliness inside. Food was phenomenal, not one complaint. Highly recommend. read more

It's pretty good. The service for us was quick. You order at the counter & they call your number when it's up. They occasionally come to make sure you're okay but it's not something to count on. The menu is limited but if you're here for hot chicken then that's exactly what you'll get. I wish they had more options for dipping sauce. They have a special sauce but it reminds me of like a yum-yum sauce but for chicken lol Right now with them being newly opened they have a free milkshake if you leave a review on google. That was pretty cool. Hope you get it. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken has a heck of a marketing dept. because this place has been viral for a while! I was stoked to see that there was finally one a short drive away as my husband and I have been itching to try it. We stopped in on a random Sunday for lunch and the place was hoppin'! It's a counter service restaurant and the workers were super helpful and nice. I had the two slider meal, one medium and one hot, with fries. My husband had the same but with one hot and one extra hot. The food was ready quickly and was super fresh. The sliders are more like full size sandwiches so I had plenty to take home. They were really good but next time I will go with hot and extra hot. If you're spice sensitive, though, stick to the lower levels. Crinkle cut fries aren't my fav but these were nice and crispy and the coleslaw on the sliders was delicious! I've already downloaded the app in anticipation of future visits! read more

Wow! I cannot remember the last time that I perspired so profusely from a spicy food that was not a soup or chili. Nasal passages and all. It didn't seem all that spicy: at first. And on a scale of 1-10, I say it was a seven. The only reason I post this gross review is because, I read other reviews and most said mild was not spicy enough. The chicken pieces are huge, maybe a half a breast. The batter is fairly thick. The fry is good. The chicken is not burnt or too tough. Meh on the French fries. Okay for a crinkle cut fry. The dipping sauce is on par with Raising Canes, good+ Better with honey added. IMO, not a kid friendly meal, teens and up. Have plenty of napkins. A nice cold Cole Slaw would be better than fries. $$$$ read more

The food was not hot, and the flavor was ordinary for chicken. The atmosphere was extremely loud and very obnoxious while trying to eat. Wished I knew this before I spent money here. We won't be back. read more

We forgot to take pictures, but...it was great! My husband and I both got a meal with a tender a slider. They are huge! We love the seasoned krinkle fries. Our kiddos shared chicken bites and fries. The medium spice on chicken was enough for me. My husband got hot and it was fine for him. read more

I came to Dave's nervous, I was bringing my friend for her FIRST EVER DAVES EXPERIENCE. My self proclaimed chicken lover friend was not disappointed... I mean the service was unbeatable. Ed.... the man you are- your ability to take on orders while managing the environment and making everyone smile. This Dave's hot chicken was not only a fast food restaurant, but a meeting ground for a new found family. Not defined by blood. But by a love for chicken and love for Ed. read more

Came to the restaurant on Saturday and it's the grand opening weekend! It was a line out the door and hardly any places to sit. I ordered the Dave's Bites Hot Meal and my wife ordered the same with the mac and cheese. I tasted the Mac and cheese and to be honest I wasn't a fan. The fries were good and had a good seasoning, the chicken bites were great, and overall I'd give it a 4 star score as it's a place I'll definitely return to and recommend for something light for the night and not heavy on the wallet. read more

Very fast an efficient food process, and the people that work there are extremely nice! Sarah H in specific is notable for being super friendly, she took our order on both days we came there! We tried the new milkshake and it was excellent! All and all would recommend and would come again! read more

Good service and food! Unlike other chicken places and a good experience. Neatly designed restaurant too!

Two words. Mouth Orgasm. I went to a Dave's hot chicken about two months ago and fell in love. I have craved the taste of Dave's glorious enriching flavor explosion since then but due to proximity I was never able to return to my glorious safe space. When I heard that one was opening up 15 minutes away from me I ejaculated in my drawers. This place is on the same level of LeBrons legacy. I wish nothing but the best for Dave and his family. If you don't believe in God, eat this food and you'll start believing. read more

Everything is super hot and fresh there and all the the staff is super friendly. Great place for lunch

Came here passing through from Florida to Illinois and this has to be some of the best chicken and service I have ever received. 10/10 recommend. Fast, friendly and hot/delicious why even go anywhere else? read more

Very good service, stop by and leave a very generous tip. Food is amazing. The lighting and surroundings are very nice.

Good chicken sliders. Also signed the Reaper waiver and the Reaper had some heat but still favorable.

Worth the hype. Best chicken sandwich I've had in a long time. The sauce was amazing!! I got a medium and mild chicken sandwich and they were perfect. Loved the fries and the shake was great too. Everyone working was friendly. read more

I simply don't understand all the glowing reviews .. It took about 10 minutes to get our order. The chicken wasn't dry, but definitely not juicy. Mild was devoid of flavor. Fries were terrible! Even though everything was hot and freshly made - I felt like it was a total waste of $32 for two combos + two small drinks. Just not for me. Place is loud & I could see one of the staff eating where the food was being prepared. read more

Chicken was crispy the fries we're on point the milkshake was delicious and creamy and I loved the oreos

The food is phenomenal! One of the best chicken places I've ever eaten. Chicken is juicy every time I've went. Staff was friendly. Only complaint is there should be more of them or more seating! read more

Angel, the cashier, was so kind and helpful!! The restaurant was clean and the food came out quickly.

Another amazing experience at Dave's! I placed a pickup order through the app, and my order was ready in less than 10 minutes. It was so fresh, I had to let it cool down before I could take another bite! I'm looking forward to going back and trying a top-loaded shake! read more

Dave's sandwich is full of flavor and great. The fries with the daves sauce is amazing, and my food was warm.

The menu is kind of underwhelming. Only a handful of combos and all revolve around tenders or sliders (a slider seems to just be a tender between buns). I'm not one to expect a wide array of items at a chicken joint, I.E, you don't go to a pizza joint and complain that it only serves pizza, but a slightly bigger menu with some other sides would be nice. I think the only sides available were combinations of fries. The chicken itself was good, I got the extra hot level which wasn't very hot to me but it may just be a personal tolerance on my part. My biggest issue was, much like Raising Canes, they only offer their own house sauce and ketchup packets as condiments. Actually I think they also offer hot sauce packets as well. No bbq, hot honey, sriracha, ranch, etc. Just whatever Dave's sauce is (house sauce) and ketchup which isn't really a condiment I'd recommend for Nashville style hot chicken. I got the two tender meal as that was the combo with the most tenders. I was skeptical that only two tenders would be enough but they're quite large tenders, almost fillet size. Breading was great. It came with two pieces of white bread, not really sure why. A lot of hot chicken joints use an oily seasoning that drips onto the bread and makes it a nice addition as well, but with this type of seasoning the white bread stayed just normal, boring white bread. Service was good, they were very fast for how packed and busy they were given that it was opening weekend. Overall the food and service were good, they just really need to expand the menu a bit, even if it's just sides and sauces that would go a long way. Or maybe even shakes to go with some hot chicken. With places like this where you're only selling one type of food the variety of sauces, sides, and drinks makes it feel like there's more variety offered. read more
