Dave's hot chicken has been the talk of the town for quite some time and I knew that I had to go check it out! We went in on a Friday night and the place was packed! Their menu is quite simple - you can get sliders, tenders, fries, Mac n cheese, shakes, and a few other items! We got the Dave's #2 which comes with 2 sliders and some fries with an extra tender on the side. Their chicken comes in different spice levels - we got the medium but I would totally get the hot next time! The meat is cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The chicken is coated perfectly with seasoning and is beyond filling. The sliders also have pickles, sauce, and coleslaw inside making it the perfect bite every time! I think this might be one of the chicken sandwiches that I've EVER had! The Dave's sauce on the side is the perfect dip for both the chicken and the fries. I will definitely be going back and trying their hot and extra hot spice levels as well as their Mac n cheese!

Not a Naperville local so i wanted to try Dave's. Ordered food for pickup and when i got home 30 mins later I noticed they completely messed up my order. I called and the manager said no problem we will write it down and take care of you next time you are in the area. I called when i was in the area again and they acted completely oblivious and said we can't do anything. Was on hold and then spoke with manager for over 30 minutes and said I'm not going to help you or do anything. Manager name was Jordan..avoid at all cost. He was a rude horrible pushy person.

Been hearing about this place for a while and finally came around trying it.. Well, color me impressed! I am not big on spice, so got mine light mild. Very tasty and flavorful. The chicken is perfectly crispy, and not dry. Quite a bit of chicken in each slider too! I could only eat one, so the other one will be lunch tomorrow. The sauce was delicious, the fries excellent and the pickle slices added a nice crunch and flavor ! Very solid meal. This is easily a 9/10 for me!

HOW HOT ARE YOU? "Reaper" hot? Or "No Spice?!" Well at Dave's, you are able to choose from SEVEN different levels of heat for your delicious chicken! Dave's is taking over Illinois (and the world - literally) one flavorful bite at a time! I got invited to check out their menu and let me just give props to the chicken! Their chicken is brined in pickle juice, so you can imagine the flavor that the chicken has. Their shakes are good! Get a half and half with a couple of different flavors or crap an Oreo or M&M shake; they're FULL of goodies. Fries either come seasoned or with cheese and are served hot and fresh. Although I wasn't a fan of the Mac n cheese, the slaw - which is a kale slaw, was REALLY good! You can get it as a side, but it also comes on the chicken sandwiches; it's PERFECT on there! They've also just come out with HOT BOXES that feed crowds of hungry folks! Pick from Hot Box options like 40 tender bites or 10 sliders. And guess what? THEYRE HALAL!!! Go check out one of their locations here in Illinois (Melrose Park, Roscoe Village, Naperville) or across the US and tell 'em that Planes and Plates sent you! Enjoy!

This is a pretty mediocre fried chicken place based on the one time I came here. Quality- the chicken is quite dry and the fries are soggy from oil. Not a great texture to have for fries. The burger was ok but the cheese sauce they provide on it is a bit too strong. It overpowers most flavors on the dish. Quantity- they give quite a bit for 20 bucks. It's enough for 2 people so that make up for lower quality this way. Atmosphere- grabbed it to go Service- drive through was somewhat slow

There's only 4 choices on the menu (tenders, chicken sliders, or some combo of the two), but at least Dave's is consistent

LOVE ME TENDER(S) What Dave's Hot Chicken lacks in variety, they make up for in consistency. For the last couple years, I've been seeking the ultimate Nashville hot chicken experience, whether it's a sandwich or breaded tender. Some have come close (Fry the Coop) and others have been middling at best. Dave's makes a more-than-decent effort. Dave's Hot Chicken has a few locations in the Chicago area: on North Ave in Melrose Park, on Western Ave in the city, and this one in Naperville at the northwest corner of Route 59 & 95th St, next to Smashburger and between Biaggi's and a Currito. These hombres have 7 levels of spice, ranging from 'none' to 'reaper'. John Q Public might enjoy the 'mild' or 'medium', but people who enjoy spicy things would be best off with the 'hot' or 'extra hot'. 'Reaper' sounds like a stretch, even for a guy like me who admittedly loves pushing the heat envelope. Their menu has only four choices: 2 tenders, 2 sliders, 1 tender & 1 slider, or 1 slider. Simple, no? Aside from fries, the only options for sides are mac & cheese and kale slaw. Dave's can maintain tight control over quality by keeping their menu limited, which makes sense. I got the #1 combo (2 tenders + fries, $12), and my wife had the #3 combo (1 chicken slider + 1 tender + fries, $13). Each order comes with sliced bread, pickles, and a small cup of Dave's sauce -- a tasty concoction of mayo, mustard, garlic powder, and paprika. I tipped the guys here an extra buck and they threw in a couple bonus sauces, which I appreciated. My gripes with Dave's are the elevated cost (by comparison, Burnin' Mouth in Yorktown Mall has incredible hot chicken at a MUCH better value), and the fact that my 'hot' was anything but. In fact, my first thought was "did they give me the wrong heat level?" The tenders were flavorful and juicy but I was disappointed with the lack of spiciness. I guess next time I gotta up the ante. * TL;DR * Dave's is good stuff, but after two visits they've fallen short of my expectations, lofty though they might be. 2 tenders for $12 is an awful lot (fries are $3.50, that comes out to $4.25/tender!) especially considering that drinks aren't included with a combo. Fries are great and so is their signature sauce, but last visit I was totally underwhelmed with the heat level as advertised. I've had better, both in Nashville and outside of it. Still dig 'em, and I'll probably come back at some point.

Dave...the man you are. Dave's hot chicken is by far the best chicken spot I've had so far in my life. This is legit because it's also going on yelp and I have to stay objective. Let's go over the big ones. First off, food. Come on. Seriously? The chicken is crispy and spicy, the perfect combo. The reaper is for daredevils, but the extra hot is a chill time for everyday spice lovers. The chicken is cooked to crispiness-heaven. The fries? Crinkle-cut greatness. Might I add Mr. Dave's sauce? It's hard for me to understand why other customers seem to boast other companies to 7th heaven when I know Dave's produces a better product. Last all of the ultimate combo. Shoutout to Noah K. honey with Dave's hot chicken sandwich is perfect for the Louvre. Finally service. Tim, the second coming of Dave himself. With his incredible dedication to the company, he allowed my friend (whose first time at Dave's was today) was perfect. Shoutout to Tim's style milkshake (oh wow Tim!) We made it onto yelp!!!

The chicken itself taste good. Seasoning bad. I had mild and hot. The Mild seasoning is grainy and overbearing. The Hot seasoning is too hot to taste. I really enjoy hot spicy food. This tasted bad. The Kale slaw was flavorless. So strange to have such overspiced chicken and tasteless slaw. The slice of white bread with the meal is kinda funny. There are 5 better chicken places nearby. This might be considered pretty good chicken elsewhere. I would never go back. read more

But they have a couple locations and they are a trek for me. Man did this place deliver. Ordered A slider and Cheese fries. Medium sauce cause I've never tried any and sometimes Hot can be crazy Hot.

I just don't know man. The chicken was just absolutely awful. I'm not talking about how it was prepared, but just the actual recipe itself. I ordered the Combo #1 2 tenders with fries with Hot sauce, and soon I took a bite into the chicken there was no favor. I almost thought I had Covid due to not tasting anything, but I had some of the fries and they tasted okay. I had the throw away the food after two bites. I wouldn't go back here personally. $12 wasted. I'm so sad about it. read more

Was looking forward for this place to open. I purchased the chicken sliders with fries. The chicken was ok, but the bun they used seemed old, cheap, and not fresh. If you're gonna charge this price point you need to get a better quality bun. Also the fries were not fresh either. I can tell fries which have been sitting out and tasted refried. I actually threw out most of the meal. As of now, I won't be back. Maybe I'll change my mind if I see pics of a better product. read more

Got the hot level chicken strips and the fries. The spice blend tastes great and was damn hot. Had to drink a lotta milk to not die. The breading on the chicken was just right and nice and crispy. The chicken itself was also top notch. The tender size is very large. 2 are plenty for an adult. The fries are the crinkle cut variety. Were good and crispy, but otherwise unremarkable. The place was pretty much printing money. I was there at 4 and you'd have thought it was lunch or dinner time. Jam packed. The drive thru line was stupid long. I waited about 7 minutes for my order to be ready. Will be going back! The rating goes to 5 stars if they do something to make the fries outstanding. read more

The best (and only) hot chicken in Naperville, hands down. The reaper is hot but not inedibly so, extra hot it where it's at imo. Get the sliders, but know that 'sliders' is a real understatement for these sandwiches. The sides aren't anything super special but they are solid, well priced, and go well with the chicken. On-line ordering and pickup is a breeze. Honestly nothing bad to say about Dave's, highly recommend! read more

Let me start by saying, "Thank goodness there is finally a great chicken restaurant to go to in Naperville!" The chicken sliders we purchased were nothing short of amazing. We tried a variety heat levels, all of which were delicious. Fries were very good, but some in my family thought that they were too spicy. It would be great if they had an option to cut down on the spice of the fries. If I had to bring up one negative, it would be the chocolate shake. It just wasn't great quality like the chicken sliders. The flavor of the shake wasn't there and the consistency of the shake was too thick to be enjoyable. If they improved upon that I would give this place 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Hopefully, they continue with the high quality chicken and get a shake to match the same level of quality. Blown away by the chicken....hope to be blown away by the chocolate shake one day soon. read more

Specialties

Dave's Hot Chicken was created by best friends Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan, and Tommy and Gary Rubenyan. Dave, a chef trained in Thomas Keller's (French Laundry) organization set out to create the perfect Hot Chicken by searching, tasting, and frying. The four friends scrounged up $900 to put a tiny stand in an East Hollywood parking lot. The menu was simple, and chicken was the star. And what chicken it is! Sourced and prepared to be the juiciest and most tender imaginable with each piece topped with Dave's own mix of spices ranging from "Mild" to "The Reaper". Arman created Instagram buzz and the lines began to grow. Two nights later, Eater/LA showed up to see what the fuss was about. The next morning's headline read "East Hollywood's Late Night Chicken Stand Might Blow Your Mind". Almost instantly, the lines stretched around the block. A year later, the boys had the money to open a shop in a hip strip-mall with de_cor by local street artists, where the crowds continued to grow with wait-times of an hour and more. From there, the incredibly craveable "Hot and Spicy" varieties have created a cult following with rave reviews across the U.S. and Canada.

History

Established in 2017.

In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept -- take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw -- they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long. After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opened their first physical store in January 2018 in a sleepy strip center in East Hollywood. Demand for their crave-able hot chicken exceeded all expectations and sales have grown every month since opening with consistently long lines throughout the day.

So I'm not sure how busy it can get in there or what it's like yet. There were a few different sandwiches that I was interested in trying but I ordered the regular Pacino. Immediately when I got my order, I could small the deliciousness and truffle right as I was opening it up! I also knew that I wouldn't be able to finish the sandwich in one sitting, but it didn't matter. Haha I took the first bite and all the flavors just hit! I loved everything about it. The mozzarella, truffle pecorino cream, and arugula all went so well together and it was creamy; and then to add the prosciutto for the saltiness. SO GOOD! The bread was more on the crunchy side....still kinda soft but more crunchy. My personal preference is for it to be a little more soft...so it doesn't cut the top of my mouth lol. Will definitely be getting sandwiches from here again! Hopefully, I'll get a chance to go to the actual storefront. But now I know I have a go to spot if I really want a good sandwich!

This is one of the main vegetarian options. A pretty typical one with the basic toppings but nothing special to be honest. Of course there's lots of paninis filled with meat. There's also the Reuben made with the classic corned beef, or it can be made with pastrami. Also has it available as vegetarian made with mushrooms. The rest of the menu has the typical stuff like chicken salad and egg salad. For sure it's a great place at lunch except for being crowded. It's located on 75th Street at Millbrook. The place is always crowded so most seem to get takeout.

For sides, I had the Mac and cheese, which was kind of meh, and the grape salad, which was the highlight of the visit. Crunchy grapes with sweet tangy dressing. Each meal also comes with a frosted sugar cookie, which was delicious. I would go back if someone Invited me, but this isn't something I would crave.

Also, when my husband stopped in to pick up our lunch, they were giving out red "Chicken Salad Chick" tote bags as a promotion. Here are some of their chicken salad options: 1) Barbie-Q "hickory smoked bbq" 2) Classic Carol "signature white meat, celery, mayo, seasoning" 3) Olivia's Old South "sweet pickles & egg" 4) Fancy Nancy "fuji apples, grapes, pecans" 5) Fruity Fran "grapes, fuji apples, pineapple" 6) Cranberry Kelli "dried cranberries, slivered almonds" 7) Lauryn's Lemon Basil "pecans, fresh lemon, basil" 8) Dixie Chick "onion lover's delight, only one with onions" 9) Kickin' Kay Lynne "buffalo sauce, ranch, bacon, cheddar, jalapeno, sriracha) 10) Sassy Scotty "ranch, bacon, cheddar" 11) Buffalo Barclay "craving wings? the choice for you" 12) Jalapeno Holly "diced jalapeno galore" For my "scoop meal" I chose a scoop of "classic Carol" and a cup of chicken poblano soup. My husband also chose "classic Carol" for his sandwich and a side of pasta salad. We wanted to try their classic before trying any other chicken salad flavors. We're already planning which ones to try next when we go back. For me, next up would be the "Fancy Nancy." For my husband, his choice would be the "Sassy Scotty." We couldn't wait to try this spot as soon as we found out they opened in Block 59. So many new restaurants opening in the area. We'll be back and will pick up a "quick chick" for more chicken salad!

You can't go wrong with any of the broths, but don't be shy to try the spicy. It is not overwhelming and adds great flavor. The staff is great and always willing to answer any questions.

This one's building looks like a beautiful lodge. While there is an online Yelp waitlist (that goes up to 6 people), we had a party of 8 so I called the restaurant and they were happy to put my name down for a reservation. We came to celebrate my dad's birthday. We brought a cake to share, and when we arrived, our server was gracious enough to store it in the fridge until we were ready. We had 6 adults and 2 kids. Kids under a certain height (I forget the details exactly) are free. So we didn't have to pay for the little ones, and not like toddlers appreciate hot pot anyway. It was more, "how do we make sure they don't touch the pot?!" which went totally fine. It's to position the high chairs the furthest away from the knobs/hot surfaces. On our end of the table, we got the half-half broth of classic marrow and the gold cabbage marrow. The golden marrow was SO GOOD. I would get this again and again, because it's hot/sour; the flavor of pickled cabbage and the spice of Szechuan peppercorns. Our server said the spice builds over time, and it did. It was so flavorful that I barely used my dipping sauce. If you like hot/spicy and sour, choose this broth, it is DELICIOUS. The sauce station and the prepared food buffet was located in the middle-back of the dining area. It's a little packed and cozy in there, especially during the dinner rush, you may need to wait a little longer or keep an eye on the area to determine when to get out of your seat. This same area has self-service personal ice cream cups, soda, additional toppings/veggies/proteins, buffet (fried rice, fried chicken, egg rolls, fried buns) AND the sauce station. What I did love is there was a gentleman who was making balloon animals/hats/characters for sale near the front of the restaurant. He says he does this occasionally when he doesn't have other gigs like parties or weddings, etc, so my kiddo and my niece each got a cat and a bunny, respectively. This made their day! And it was nice for them not to be strapped into a high chair the whole time, and have something to entertain them. Overall, 4 shining stars! It would have been great if they had private and semi-private rooms like the Bridgeport location, but I think this wasn't possible due to their building. It looked like they took over a from a Mangia Bubala Roadhouse (Italian and Jewish fare) which took over from a Connie's Pizza. This place has gone through some changes, but it looks like Happy Lamb will be there for the long-run.

If you're a fan of spicy food and you haven't tried Dave's Hot Chicken, you're missing out. This place is a hidden gem that will satisfy your craving for a delicious and spicy meal. I highly recommend trying the Reaper spice level, but only if you can handle the heat! The atmosphere of the restaurant is perfect for a casual meal. It's a small, no-frills establishment that focuses on what really matters: the food. The menu is simple, but that's part of the appeal. You're here for the chicken, and that's what you'll get. The staff is friendly and efficient, making the ordering process a breeze. Now, onto the star of the show: the chicken. It's juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The breading is light and crispy, and the spice level is just right. I've tried all of the spice levels, from mild to extra hot, but the Reaper is my favorite. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you can handle the heat, you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for sides to go with your chicken, I recommend mac and cheese or fries. Both are delicious and pair well with the chicken. The drinks are also great, with a variety of sodas and teas to choose from. Overall, Dave's Hot Chicken is a must-try for anyone who loves spicy food. The Reaper spice level is the way to go if you want to push your limits, but even the milder levels are delicious. The chicken is top-notch, the sides are great, and the atmosphere is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. Give it a try - you won't regret it! read more

OMG, Dave's Hot Chicken is literally the best-fried chicken place I've ever been to! My classmates and I decided to try it out and it was such a fun experience. The vibe of the place is super cool and casual, perfect for a hangout with friends. The food, though, was what really blew us away. The chicken is so juicy and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. We ordered a few different heat levels, from mild to extra hot, and they were all amazing. Plus, the sides are delicious too - we got the mac and cheese and the coleslaw and both were so good. The restaurant itself is pretty wide, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. We chose to sit inside because it was a little chilly outside, but the patio area looked really nice too. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and they even gave us some extra sauce when we asked for it. Overall, I would definitely recommend Dave's Hot Chicken to anyone who loves fried chicken or just wants to try something new. It's a great place to hang out with friends, and the food is absolutely delicious. I can't wait to go back! read more

The chicken tenders (hot) and sliders are absolutely fantastic! The chicken tenders were cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the accompanying Dave's dipping sauces complemented them beautifully. The sliders were equally impressive, with juicy, flavorful chicken tenders nestled between soft buns and coleslaw. The combination of textures and flavors made for a truly satisfying meal. What made my experience even more enjoyable was the excellent and fast service at Dave's Hot Chicken. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient. They promptly took my order and ensured that everything was served in a timely manner. Despite the restaurant being busy, the wait time was minimal, and my food arrived hot and fresh. The servers were knowledgeable about the menu and provided helpful recommendations when I was undecided. read more

I went to this restaurant yesterday, if it was the speakers or not but at first they misheard or a misunderstanding when we asked for NO sauce on the sandwiches but they put no coleslaw. Thought it was fixed in the drive thru. I returned home and found my order wrong (see photo). frustrating sure, but we are all human. I called the restaurant and it's a whole run around to TALK TO someone. I finally got ahold of someone named Leo, he was nice and passed us over to the manager whose name is Maribel (same women from the drive thru, come to find out later). I gave her the call number to tell her about the order and she PROCEEDED TO ARGUE WITH ME. Saying "I checked the bag myself" and was giving me a TERRIBLE ATTITUDE when I was speaking to her with respect. Her attitude was basically, I'm not wrong you are. So if she reads this, here is the photo evidence :). Be nice to your customers. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken delivers a really solid experience if you're in the mood for flavorful fried chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a crispy coating and juicy inside, and the seasoning had just the right balance of heat and flavor. I went with the medium spice level, which I'd definitely recommend because it adds a nice kick without overpowering the taste.
