Hot goodness from a place that's keeping it hot sounds like something you'd find in Florida! Coming here randomly one cool day because I wanted to hot goodness because when your allergies are bugging you hot things will fix you up quick fast and in a hurry so in this case hot chicken being the perfect cure! So out of the goodies they have I went with the tender and slider combo at the extra hot level because I love it hot but not so hot it isn't good and I must say extra hot while it wasn't that hot for me it definitely did make me feel better with that yummy hot flavor on that perfect fried chicken with that yummy slider that had some coleslaw and pickles it really made for a yummy hot combo that I would totally get again! While this isn't my go to spot for hot chicken I definitely must say it's a good alternative if I don't wanna drive that far out as for a chain they definitely do it right! Totally have to give a shoutout to the staff working here as they were all totally cool with positive friendly vibes making for an excellent customer service experience! Overall yummy hot goodness should I come back I'm going for the top level of heat as I just love when things burn my mouth from spicy goodness! read more

We used to go to a Dave's when we lived in Colorado all the time! We haven't had it in about two years and boy was it delicious! We ordered way more food than we should have, but it definitely didn't disappoint. It is slightly on the expensive side, but they really give you a lot of food for your money. There are five different levels of spice that you can choose for them for your chicken so you have lots of options depending on what you like. Lots of side dishes if you're one to have sides. It definitely took a couple minutes to get your food, but it was very fresh so you can't be too upset about that! read more

I am still trying to decipher if this was supposed to be a cold dish or a hot dish. It was somewhere between warm and cold. I'm trying to decipher this going through the motions of excruciating stomach ache after eating it. I am never sold on TikTok influencers but my son was so we came. He had the $17.99 meal. His stomach is also turning now. And to add to the mix we went on a Sat at 11:00am. Opening. The least you can expect is hot temperature food. It was all straight up cold. Thinking about it makes me sicker. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

Dave's! What happened! Came for the new mozzarella sticks, saw the sign above the register only to learn at checkout that they didn't have them in stock. If you're out of stock, maybe put a sticker over the sign that shows it in stock? You had to have changed your fry vendor because they tasted as crappy as the Pea ones from Chickfila. Our chicken wasn't even crispy. Not sure we'll be coming back after this trip, disappointed! read more

This was our first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken, and we were really excited. Inside was very interesting with a lot of artwork and decor. We placed our orders on the kiosk and was pretty easy. The only issue we encountered was a pretty lengthy wait. It was about 30ish minutes to receive our food from placing our order, and everyone seemed to have that issue. The chicken tenders did live up to the hype. I tried the hot and medium and absolutely liked the hot. It was the perfect amount of spice. The fries were very solid and the pickles and sauce were awesome. I enjoyed the food very much, but the wait time is keeping me from giving it a 5 star. Overall I would recommend trying it for their unique take on spicy fried chicken tenders! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - 2 tenders - Chicken Shop Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

Been wanting to try Dave's hot chicken for a while now and finally got the chance, though it wasn't what I was expecting. This location was clean and the employees were all pleasant and greeted us, I was fine with that aspect. The food though, was overly salted and greasy. I mean like, dripping with grease. For that reason, I'm going to assume all the locations are serving the same food. I know it's fast food but won't be returning as I'm just not a fan of the chicken here. read more

I've been driving by this place since they moved in with the old Tijuana flat used to be. I finally had the opportunity to stop in and it was an experience. It was just after four in the afternoon and I decided to pick up dinner. I had no idea what they would be like because I've never been there before. When I arrived, the parking lot was basically empty. I walked in and there were two people sitting at a table having some food. I walked over to the counter and was checking out the menu when a young lady came out from the kitchen area. She was friendly and personable and was very helpful in my choosing something to try. She recommended the number three, which comes with one slider and one chicken finger as well as fries or your choice side. I decided to try it as is and had to make a choice of how spicy I would like it. I asked about their levels of spice and chose hot. It sounded like it would be safe for me. In the end, it was a bit spicier than I expected, but it was still very good. I didn't order a drink as I was getting it to go. I was given a pager while I waited for my meal. I believe this is because they make things fresh when you order them. The restaurant itself is a very large open space with some very interesting artwork painted on the walls. There was music playing so it felt a little loud inside. When my order was ready, she bagged it up and asked if there was any sauce I would like. I took a couple of hot sauce and got some honey. When I got home, I plated my meal and warmed it up a little bit before enjoying it. Both the chicken finger and the slider were fairly good sized. The french fries were maybe a little smaller serving than I expected, but we're plenty for me. The french fries also had some seasoning on them. Everything tasted good and the heat was a little stronger than expected. I had asked for extra pickles and they did not disappoint with them. I'm not sure that it was worth the $15 that I paid for it, but I did enjoy my meal. read more

Great service, lots of parking nearby and chicken that is actually served up hot and spicy (if you want it spicy). I have heard the hype of "Dave's Hot Chicken," and now I get it. Juicy tenders that are served with genuine kick and spice - I loved it. The Top-Loaded Milkshakes are simply, in a good way. Creamy ice cream abd good toppings. They are especially good if you get an extra spicy meal. I will be back. read more

Came here on a Tuesday night after work with our kids! There was a bit of a line but it moved quickly. Ordered and took our alarm/ beeper to sit outside: the only draw back to this place is how loud it can get. Maybe it's the high ceilings. Maybe it's the open space. But the noise was overwhelming. So if you have noise sensitivity, you may want to sit outside. Outside does also play music. The food was 10/10. Everyone got different ranges of spice and they were all amazing. The sauces were delish. They were generous with Dave's sauce on the side. We would definitely come back. The portions were generous. read more

Friendly welcome by Angi. Place is clean airy and cool. First time here ordered Tender & Slider Combo, Top-Loaded Fries and a large Milkshake. The Milkshake is delicious; thick & tasty. Chicken is tasty but have a bit of heartburn; next time will apply more honey sauce to temper it. Easy in and out. Order online since it takes a while; they cook it fresh. read more

I went there for lunch with my daughters and had a really enjoyable meal. The chicken was excellent--crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. We ordered the hot level, and it was definitely spicier than expected, but in a good way. It was a pleasant surprise for those who enjoy some real heat. They do charge extra for additional sauce, which isn't ideal, but the cost wasn't unreasonable. The ambience is fairly basic and nothing special, though that was pretty much what we expected. Overall, the food was the highlight, and the chicken alone makes it worth a visit. read more

I order 5 meals and was missing one! The spainsh lady was mad rude. Looking over the counter at our table to see if we we're lying about missing an order. Went in the back for awhile then comes over to our table to actually count the meals we had. I paid $90 for my food plus a $12 tip! Just for bad service! DONT COME TO THIS LOCATION! And didnt even apologize for the mistake and was mad rude giving it to us. Also, she didnt even give us our drinks too!! VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! read more

Be prepared for a long wait time to order your food and for your food to come out! The inside if decorated trendy. It has a lot of areas for seating but depending on the time and day it gets full fast. There is outdoor seating. I ordered the tender meal and it was more than enough food. I could not finish my meal. I got two tenders, fries, pickles, and texas toast slice. The tender were ordered hot and they were in fact hot! I like spicy and was surprised by the heat. The meat was juicy and crispy. The fried were crispy and I got more than one pickle which made me very happy. The toast was toast and was a nice bonus I didn't know came with the meal. The drinks are ordered separately and not included in the meal. The special sauce it comes with it good but not enough in my opinion. I would go back, but with some patience or on a slow hour. read more

I will never be eating chicken tenders from any restaurant after coming here. I tried to get in contact with the health department to report this Dave's Hot Chicken and honestly stopped trying after multiple attempts. I got food poisoning from this location. It was my first time trying Dave's hot and will be my last. It tasted good, and I ate it all. The next morning I threw it all up. I threw up multiple times, and was sick for several days after. I'm not sure if it was because the chicken wasn't fully cooked or if it was a sanitary issue. Please be careful!! This was my first time getting food poisoning and I don't wish it on anyone! I also made a video before eating it and here is a pic of me with the bag to show proof! I also have proof of my professor sending me home because I threw up all over the floor at a clinical. I just want to warn others to be more cautious! This was one of the worst days ever feeling so sick after eating here. read more

This was my first time going there and I was skeptical at first but I decided to give it a try. It was a Sunday afternoon when got ther it was pretty packed that day I went to order my food at the counter. I ordered a light mild chicken slider and tender with fries and a drink. It was worth the wait it was a lot of people that day it took about 20 minutes for my food it was hot and fresh so it was worth the wait. I took a first bite of the chicken tender and it was so good with the Dave's sauce. The fries and pickles were also great as well dipped it with Dave's sauce and ketchup too. Daphne at the counter who took my order was very polite and pleasant by informing customers that there was a 30-minute wait and no one complained. I will definitely go back there. read more

Be very careful when you pay at this location! I am pretty sure the employees tampered with the credit card machine and the tip screen shows the full amount of your order so you automatically will click the green checkmark to confirm but in reality you just add 100% tip, employees know very well what they are doing because when I came back up to the counter the cashier said immediately : "I will fix it for you" without me even opening my mouth to explain the issue! I did report the location to corporate but want you guys to be aware as well. Just a SCAM, and absence of customer service! read more

30 minutes and still no food. Awful service. Pretty sure the entire staff is on parole.

The service was good when I did visit. It wasn't as packed as normal so we went on good timing. The cashiers were really nice. Now, the chicken was good! I didn't like the cayenne pepper taste I felt it was toooo strong rather than heat or spice. read more

My family was excited to stop by tonight and try dave's for the first time. We ordered takeout, 2 tender meals and a side of mac and cheese for 35 bucks . Lady taking my order was hard to understand but friendly, but Andrew - who handed me my food - was fantastic. He made sure we Ieft with some extra sauce, napkins, silverware, etc, and offered his help if I needed anything else. Everything was fresh and wait was short, so 5 stars there. Food was not really my favorite though. Neither me or my wife finished our tenders, but the mac and cheese was yummy for my kid. Tenders were spicy, but they were like eating pixie stix of spices. Super salty and almost powder-y with seasoning. It might just be the style they make here, just not my favorite (I definitely prefer like wet sauces). Fries were good, and bread was decent, sauce was alright too. We probably won't come back to Dave's in general, but this location seemed like a good chain if youre into it. read more

The hot chicken sandwiches ( sliders) are just too good. I am picky about my crispy chicken sandwiches and these have been good no matter location I have visited. The fries are also so good too. I get hot just to make sure I'm not overdoing it. I do like habanero and ghost pepper kind of foods, but Hot is enjoyable and favorable for the spice lover. The ambiance is funky and colorful. Artistic. And the employees are great at keeping the tables clean even when there is a rush. read more

Spicy but Addictive.. food is hot and fresh every time. This place can get super busy. The prices are fair and the staff is great.

Service was quick, the art inside is fun to look at! Love the colors and vibrance, our food was super tasty! We got a lot and we were glad we did, we made quick work of it, only critique - food was a bit too salty, apart from that, chefs kiss. read more

Nice, clean location. The cauliflower sandwich was on point. Would recommend and would order again. The spice levels are interesting, medium has no spice and taste like mild and hot is very spicy. This also differs on location. Staff wasn't the friendliest. Some were nice and some were dry/mean. read more

We tried another popular chicken place before this one and we clearly saved the best for last! The chicken was delicious and flavorful. If you like a little heat, just start with Medium. The milder ones don't have much heat at all. Dave's sauce is so delicious and the fries were nice and crispy on the outside! The service was a little slow. We waited quite awhile for our food and the tables were dirty, so we had to clean our own. However, the chicken was worth the wait. The slider was perfect with the kale slaw and sauce! Definitely worth a try and we will be back. read more

If you think the service is bad and food tastes terrible, it's because all the employees are too busy getting stoned in the parking lot. Where you literally get a contact. High walking to, and from the entrance of the restaurant. Not so family friendly if you ask me. The smoke can be seen blowing out of the car doors of the employees car where 3 employees gather around and partake. And it's totally daytime. read more

The store is very trendy and colorful and full of good vibes. The staff was super friendly and worked to keep the place clean. We ordered three meals, one of which included the reaper. You have to sign a waiver for the reaper, which is about the spice level of a Serrano chile. It would be great if there were more ketchup offered or available for the fries. The wait was really long (23 minutes) on a Wednesday. The mild and medium meals didn't have any spice to describe. The shakes are like you would get from McD's, but are a nice balance to the chicken. It's a chicken strip joint- but the staff and vibe made it fun. read more

I can't rave enough about Dave's Hot Chicken! As first-timers in Orlando, all the way from Texas, we felt warmly welcomed.

The food was good. I ordered the hot chicken sandwich and it had good flavor. Tender and juicy. The sandwich was a little expensive but it's Kissimmee/ Disney area so not horrible. I would order this again but with the following knowledge.... The wait was almost 30 minutes for a sandwich and slaw. Order it online (if you can get it to work... it didn't for me) then grab and go! The people were friendly and it was a decent atmosphere (music would make it better) Staffing seems good. The kitchen was packed and so was the counter. The restaurant needs a better pickup system than the girl (she was friendly and working it but had a quiet voice in a busy restaurant) just calling out peoples name for the to go orders. The stay at restaurant got buzzers but since everyone (to go and stay orders) have to come to counter to get food just hand them to everyone. read more

Went to Dave's Hot Chicken soft opening in Kissimmee FL today. You would think that it would be chaotic on the first day of opening but everything was great! One of the managers was very nice and talked with us and made sure we had everything. It was so cool on the inside with it open to outside. They were busy of course but everyone working was on top of things and got our food quickly with no issues! Got the slider (extra hot), tender(hot) and fries. It was all so good! Will be going back! :) read more

Tried it after the hype. My teenagers kind of liked it. I was confused and silently irate about the $70 for 4 chicken boxes no drinks included. They had the experience but I think we will pass going forward. The season looks like a huge portion of red 40.........and the chicken tenders are humongous----do chickens even grown that big? I digress!! read more

this was my first time having Daves chicken and let me just say... it was great!! the wait was just as expected from the employees estimation. and the inside decor and walls were definitely interesting at the least. the only pick i would say was outside of the restaurant was very messy and unkept. a long with the inside being a tad unorganized. but the overall experience was a good one and it was definitely worth the time waited and the money spent.!! good place to get chicken!!:)) read more

I went here on my way down to Daytona. It was my first time so this is all new to me and my family. I got the slider meal with the slider and fries and a drink along with it. I must say the Dave's sauce was delicious! Service was also amazing! The music was a little loud and it was a little packed but nothing much. For me this is a 10/10 and I'd definitely come back again and eat this amazing food! read more

I like hot chicken and there is not many hot chickens here in Florida. The medium doesn't have a kick at all, and the next step up which is hot is way too hot. So there is no in-between. The fries are old, seems they have been sitting there for awhile. The cashier did not have any energy when he greeted me, it was diner time maybe he is tired or ready to go home. Did not even recommend anything, ambiance is normal. read more

Food was great- all white meat chicken, flavorful and good portion sizes. Order prepared perfectly for a party of 4 who all wanted sudden heat levels! As first timers- the waitress was super friendly and helpful. She also remarked, this won't be your last time at Dave's Hot Chicken! She was right, my kids are already asking to go back and they're on the pickier side. If we have to choose fast food- this will be on the menu. Prices are also decent. Just go in with the right expectations- it is fast food, and as the name states... the menu is mostly chicken! Their shakes looked good but we didn't try them. read more
