    I got a present. It's a gift card for this place. It's been cold lately in Vegas. So here I am for lunch wondering if it's really that hot. Right on Sahara. Easy parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was practically empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area decorated 80's retro.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cashier was nice and suggested I try the double slider combo. So I ordered it with spicy level "hot". It took awhile, but I know they're making it fresh, because I can see the kitchen behind the counter. It was worth the wait. The first bite was juicy. Tender. Then the spice kicked in. It was good. I could've handled a higher spice level. I know I'll regret later the amount of carbs and cholesterol I had. But hey, you gotta live a little.

    Dave's Hot Chicken - Las Vegas (Sahara) Visited Saturday, 01/10/2026 | 11:00 AM I came here for one reason only: the Fallout x Amazon Prime promotional item. As a Fallout fan, I was told mid-week they were sold out and would be restocking Saturday, so I showed up right at opening. Let me start with the positives. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was spotless, and the Fallout promo items were indeed restocked, so credit where it's due.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was also my first time inside a Dave's Hot Chicken despite driving past it countless times, so I figured, why not actually try the food while I'm here? That's where things went downhill. The staff energy immediately felt off. The cashier helping me seemed irritated and disengaged, like this was just a job they were enduring rather than working. No greeting, no enthusiasm, no warmth, just transactional. What I Ordered: - Slider (Mild) - Chicken Bites, Spicy BBQ - Fries - Two soft drinks The Fries: Ironically, the best thing on the table. Lightly seasoned, Cajun-style, crisp, and not greasy. These were genuinely solid and the only item I finished without issue. The Slider (Mild): This was disappointing in a very specific way. The chicken reminded me of low-quality breaded chicken fingers dropped into a fryer and then drowned in sauce. The exterior became soggy, gummy, and unpleasant, with no texture payoff. It's filling, sure, but not enjoyable. This is food you eat because you're hungry, not because it's good. Flavor was flat, execution lazy, and there was nothing memorable about it other than how mediocre it was. The Chicken Bites (Spicy BBQ): This was borderline inedible. I'm very sensitive to spice, which is why I stayed low on the heat scale, but what shocked me wasn't the heat, it was the overwhelming amount of chili powder. Every bite tasted like raw seasoning dumped directly onto gummy batter. No balance, no sweetness, no barbecue character, just powder. The texture was off, the seasoning was excessive, and it became genuinely hard on the stomach. I couldn't finish it. When spice is done right, you can still enjoy your food. This wasn't that. This felt like heat for the sake of heat, with zero thought put into flavor harmony. Overall Thoughts: I do not understand the hype. For the price point, this food is not worth the money. Everything about it felt rushed and careless, like someone just learned how to make fried chicken yesterday and decided this was good enough. Honestly, the best slogan I can think of for this place is: "Dave's Hot Chicken: We're doing the best we can." I would never come here for the food alone. The only reason I didn't give this one star is because I was able to stomach the slider and the fries were decent. Otherwise, this is an easy pass. If you want hot chicken, you can do better. If you want flavor, balance, and texture, avoid this place. If you want Fallout merch, get it and leave.

    Ordered at the drive thru, line and wait time was short. My slider and chicken finger was delicious however my fries were cold.

    Had to try this joint out since my daughter keep ranting about it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The moment you walk in you will notice the pretty graffiti on the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is big in my opinion they should add more chairs and tables since they have the space for it[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was busy for a Saturday afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their menu is straight to the point. 4 combos and some sides to order. We got 2 number 2's hot for the chicken spice level a fountain drink and a strawberry lemonade slush. We got our seats and in less than 5 minutes we got our food. I rate the sandwich @ 10/10 their Dave's sauce with honey was fire. They also gave 4 extra pickles on the side without asking. Their chicken was seasoned well, juicy and cooked fresh. The lemonade was also great. They had good customer service after paying the young men mentioned his name and said "if you need anything let me know". [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had two restrooms that were kept up okay no complaints, no baby changing diaper.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Nephew, let the number one he got it mild. He said it was juicy. It was good the flavor. It wasn't too spicy. Let me try the french fries and had a good spice on it. Next the mac & cheese, the mac & cheese taste like it has the same spice on the fries so it taste like the fries just creamy. I got cheesy fries which had the same spice on it. Everything honestly taste the same because it seems like they put the same spice on everything that's why I did give it to three because there's no difference between all the items and flavor. It could definitely be better but a lot of people like them so I do see that. This place is just not to my liking. It doesn't appeal to me try and get once was good enough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I do like their decorations. I do think they're cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The person at the window was nice But again once he's good enough to try in my opinion and he prefers a different chicken place compared to this one. Oh the Dave sauce also it taste like miracle whip with seasonings in it, and I'm again not a fan of miracle whip so yea.

    I've been wanting to try this place since it opened and finally was in the area. Ordered the single tender sandwich with fries. Drive thru was quick, service was friendly. It was $15 with a small drink and tip. The Daves sauce was subpar but the fries were very crispy and excellent. The chicken I got was mild, but used a powder more than a sauce. It didn't have much of a heat to it. Compared to other fast food hot chicken places in town, was a bit disappointing.

    This is definitely one of our favorite fried chicken spots in Summerline , it is absolutely delicious . We had a sandwich and Dave's bites and both were tasty. I also liked the sauce with it . The crinkle cut fries is very tasty too. You get to select how spicy you want the chicken, we got it lite mild which was perfect, not to spicy but not blend either. Perfectly seasoned chicken and so juicy and delicious . The staff is super friendly and welcoming. They have drive- true as well. Highly recommended!!! Definitely will be back!

    When they say hot, it's HOT! I came here for the first time and ordered the chicken slider sandwich with fries. IKeep in mind the slider is a full size sandwich! I chose the 'hot' version, not thinking that it will be burn going in and out hot. Boy, was I wrong! Daves Hot Chicken version of hot is what other restaurants call it don't order unless you sign the discloure. lol The crispiness and flavor is superb. For me, the next time, i will need to order Mild. Love the fries, it was seasoned perfectly and the fruit punch slush drink is now my new favorite.

The guy behind the counter wasn't so friendly, but i was in chicken mode so i didn't pay it too much attention. I ordered to go and the following was the rundown of the experience: Fried Chicken: My goodness, it was juicy and tasty, looks like they used a pressure cooker fryer. Fries: Salty and ok Sides: Not sure because i paid for an extra side and NEVER GOT IT. Beef ribs: Well, I was excited because not many places serve this, but just ended up being overly expensive and mediocre for (2) ribs swimming in sauce. Would i go again? for the chicken possibly!

It has a hole-in-a-wall type of feel you can see as soon as you walk in the door. We were greeted by the friendly owner who provided us with recommendations and even extra free pieces of chicken. So generous of them. Their fried chicken is what they are known for but they have many different options, like burgers with fries or Philly Steak. The chicken was tender and juicy with great flavor. We also got their cheeseburger as well as shrimp. The restaurant is spacious inside with a lot of seating available. Try this place out and you won't regret it!
