Very nice lady gave me a free drink in the drive through very nice and beautiful hospitality. Thank you so very much!!! Can't wait to try their food:) came a long way. read more

This place is almost perfect. The food tastes amazing, atmosphere is amazing, people working there are nice. However, there is one big big problem. I went here with some friends some months ago. We all got the Dave's 2 with fries, my friends couldn't finish it because their booty hole felt like Hiroshima in 1945. I figured since I was on the bigger side, I could finish it. Boy was I wrong. I finish the whole thing and proceed to ride home in the passenger seat. This whole time, my mouth felt like it was Pompeii and I was clenching my bootyhole with all my might. As soon as I get home. I run to the bathroom, and the rest of the story is far too graphic to explain. Regardless, this place is really good, just don't feel like you have to eat all of it, because you will pay the price. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - The chicken Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

It's pretty good but it's not great for the price it would be nice to have an actual chicken breast not just a tender. I ordered 3 slider meals and had a hard time in their drive through. The people taking the order did not instruct the cars to pull up and I was stuck just outside trying to turn in with traffic trying to get around me. The two teenagers outside were talking to each other and could have done a better job if they were paying attention to their line. The gentlemen at the drive through was very nice and did a good job explaining the options on the menu. My biggest problem was the large cartilage found in each sandwich. A chewy hard piece of inedible chicken ground into the sandwich that was gross to bite into. Again a piece of tender, not breast. I asked for added cheese, was charged for it and it wasn't on the sandwiches or in the bag. read more

I ordered two sandwiches, one hot and one medium. It took 15 minutes to make my sandwiches. I recommend checking your bags before leaving because they forgot to put chicken in one of my chicken sandwiches. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Day 1, 1:30pm, and the milkshake machine is already down...not a good start! The chicken is good, a little salty, but the spice rub is tasty. Tenders are pretty big, which makes you wonder how many hormones you're ingesting because they plumped up the chickens to get tenders this size. The Dave's sauce is irrelevant and doesnt add a lot of flavor (definitely not as good as Cane's). It is VERY EXPENSIVE for what you get. Over $32 for a #2, #3, side of mac and cheese. I can go next door to Houlihans and feed 2 ppl for less. I would say TRY IT at least once, but I dont know if this will be a go to spot for my family. read more

Tastes straight out of California! I love Dave's fries, they're seasoned which makes it 10x better. The sliders were also good and it tasted just how we had it in LA read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Sliders with Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

I want to preface this review by saying I've been to the LA Dave's dozens of times so I'm very familiar with the quality that they uphold. With that being said the buns at this location was very dry and had the texture of cardboard I'm pretty sure they use higher quality buns in California. The chicken was also too salty. They also fill up the tray with fries in California for the combo order there was a lower quantity here. The flavor and the heat were there but the quality and quantity must be improved. I hope you can take this into consideration for the future because I would love to become a loyal customer to a location right in my backyard read more

Lives up to the hype! The drive-thru moves fast and they appear to have their act together at this new Hot chicken place. Small and simple menu which is good for everyone. Definitely add cheese to the sliders so you have a sauce on each side of the bun . The 'Extra hot' sauce seems to be on the same Heat level as real Nashville 'HOT' chicken standards. Love that they give you white bread,extra sauce and pickles it helps to justify the price. I didn't want to like this place as it is NOT close to me. I'll have to schedule some time to visit again. read more

I don't know whats happened but the chicken isn't spicy anymore . Nevertheless, the chicken and fries are good, as well as the sauce!

They've gotten much better over the past year. Had some not so great experiences early on but they've nailed some large orders of mine recently. Good stuff, simple menu. read more

The food at this place is amazing! The menu is pretty basic chicken tenders/strips and chicken sandwiches. They call the sandwiches "sliders" but that's a bit deceiving they are larger than a traditional slider. I tried hot and extra hot, the hot was perfect, the extra hot was a bit too spicy for me but still very good. I see a lot of other reviews with people commenting that the prices are high, however I feel the portions are fairly large so price is justified IMO. The chicken is great with perfect crispy fried breading and juicy on the inside. The fries were pretty good as well. The only thing that kept me from giving a 5-Star review is the dining room was a bit of a mess, our table was so sticky as if someone poured maple syrup on it then spread it around, had to wait to have an employee come wipe it off but even after that it was still a sticky mess. They definitely appeared short staffed, it was pretty busy but the workers were hustling and trying so I had to cut them some slack. This was my first visit but I will return. read more

I was looking at the pictures of the place and held very high standards based on it. I have been to this place many times and drive about 30 minutes for it. Staff is VERY kind and helpful, food is delicious as well! Definitely recommend!!! read more

Let me start off with great customer service and fast at fulfilling orders. We really wanted to like this place but we didn't like the seasonings they use. We had the slider and 1 tender meal and the kids had the 2 tender meal. I preferred the slider over the tenders since it had the kale slaw and pickles in the hamburger bun. It has a very heavy paprika like taste. Not sure it's worth $11 or $12 each meal. It's just wasn't for us. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Tenders are good size. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

My food was so bland. The sandwich didn't have any spice to it. I also paid extra for cheese fries and they only put cheese on maybe 6 fries. I only gave stars because their drive thru workers were very nice. We will not be returning they're expensive and not worth it. read more

Amazing. I was so happy with my meal. Inexpensive and super yummy. I can't recommend wnough

Came on a weeknight and dined in. I ordered the 2 tender meal with the "hot" spicy level. The portions were big and the tenders had a lot of meat, they weren't all breading like some places (Canes). The seasoning was good, but the chicken was just a little dry. I also liked that it came with fries, 3 Dave's sauces, pickles, and two pieces of toast. The only downside was that the "toast" was actually just a piece of un buttered un toasted white bread. Not sure if you can ask them to toast or butter it but will try next time. Allergy info: They have a binder with all their allergen info so you can ask them to view that. I went with someone who had a tree nut allergy and none of their items contained any tree nuts. read more

Well, this is that last time I come here. Right off the bat, our food was cold and soggy. The service wasn't good, it took us about 30 minutes IN THE DRIVE THRU to get our food, we order 2 combo number 2's. Nothing special about them. Super dissatisfied and disappointed that I just spent $33 on cold, soggy food. Wasted time. read more

It was okay we had fun but I love chicken and there chicken was okay the spices were different very unique choice inside was lovely employees were super helpful read more

Not as good as I expected. Chicken was soso and seating almost nonexistent. With Covid you don't need people standing all around you. Probably won't go back unless it's for the drive thru option read more

Oh my god I'm obsessed! I've eaten here twice and 10/10 recommend! Their chicken sandwich are to die for! I personally don't like the coleslaw in mine but accidentally got it once and it was still amazing! I'm a HUGEEE pickle Fan so when I asked for extra pickles I was beyond happy to see A TON of pickles. Their fries are definitely the best as well. I love chicken sandwiches and am VERY picky so I was very excited when I ate here! Not to mention their food IS halal! read more

Wow!!!!! Paid almost $20.00 with drink and look at the portion size of the fries. Yeah feeling cheated. I know food price are up but when I'm paying almost $20 give me some fries. Food is great but I don't think it's worth that kind of money. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Paid almost $20.00 for this...look at portion size of fries!!! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Finally got around to checking this spot out and I was very pleased. I got it through DoorDash so I was half expecting it to be soggy, but everything was really good. The breading on the chicken was so flavorful and crispy. The slaw and pickles were also very tasty. The macaroni was pretty bland but I cut up some pieces of the chicken and threw them in and that fixed it up. Would definitely come back. read more

My friends keeps on talking about this place and encourage me to go in here even if it is a bit far and we did. First glance, the outside of the place looks nice and there were a lot of people inside. We decided to eat inside and I was amazed on the beautiful interior of the place. The walls and the ceiling are so cool that it feels like it is not a fast food. The vibe was amazing too. We ordered their combo and the sandwich was so good. Mine was the medium and it was perfect. Did not try the hottest sauce and the medium was fine. The fries are fresh, hot and crispy as well as the pickles and both tastes good with the sauce. I thought it is a bit pricey but after eating the food I must say it was worth it. I literally enjoy the food and the overall experience on the place. Once is not enough and we will definitely be back. Highly recommended! read more

Biggest thing that stands out about this place, the price. There aren't a ton of meal options, if you're planning to buy dinner for two people, get ready to spend around $30. That isn't to say you don't get a good amount of food, you certainly do. It would just be nice for a combo meal that goes under $10. The chicken is great, big, tasty, and spicy as the name suggests. Fries are great too. The toast is just a piece of bread, no sign of any flavor or anything to make it stand out from all the other chicken/fries/toast establishments that are so popular these days. Overall, the food here is pretty good. If it wasn't so expensive, it would be a regular stop for me. As of now, it's more of a once-in-a-while type of place read more

Have a bucket of water after you finish your sliders and other chicken tenders. Cause it's spicy and has a bit of salt to make you thirsty

Chicken sandwich wars have a new winner. Great combo of flavor and a bit of crunch. Hot chicken with honey, pickles, and a creamy dipping sauce. Good fries as well. Best chicken sandwich I've had! read more

Mathew was a W mans and helped out a lot. great place to bring my kids they loved it and loved the service

Very few places north of Louisville satisfy my craving for Nashville hot chicken, and Dave's nailed it! I usually prefer a slightly wetter, slightly sweeter sauce but Dave's is doin their thing and I am not mad!! I'm glad I played it safe and got the "hot" level sauce because they're not playing around. I can't wait to bring my husband to try the reaper. I had the #3 combo, which I didn't expect to be such a good portion, so that was a nice surprise! I wish Dave's many years of success here in Naperville. read more

I couldn't wait to try this place! I will admit I had it multiple times already. The chicken and fries are delicious. I like that you can pick your spice level and if you want more tenders you just add on (with additional costs). I enjoyed the sauce you can dip you chicken and fries in and they don't skimp on the pickles! The drive thru wait wasn't too bad. Definitely worth the wait. read more

Outstanding all around. My girl loves the chicken slider without any heat or spice, just plain. I want extra hot and all the fixins. However, I go takeout and I'm 20 minutes away so instead of putting all the condiments on the sandwich and making it a mess during the ride, they'll put everything on the side. Great job, great staff. Also, fries are great but get side of cheese cup. Very impressed with everything other than the location which is kind of hidden so be aware when using Waze or Maps because it just pops up read more

Prices are a little high, but the food is worth it. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself is super cool and has an awesome vibe. Fries are seasoned and taste great. Chicken is extremely tender and juicy with good flavor. Definitely would return if I'm in the area. read more

Service was good, it wasn't too busy anyways but even still I had no complaints on my order, I will say the food took me by surprise, I'm not sure it it's not for me or just the chicken but it was def something. read more

The place is nice the food is delicious and it's my go to spot for the weekend and the service is a ten out of ten

I wanted to try something new and Dave's Hot Chicken was it. Glad I arrived at this decision because the chicken is delicious. The spice blend on the chicken is like no other. Depending on preference, you can go up or down on the spice level without compromising on the overall taste. Dave's Hot Chicken has become my top choice when I'm in the mood for takeout. read more

Placed an order online. Picked it up. Got home and they forgot half my order. I called and they didn't care. Told me to drive back and pick it up which would waste another 30 minutes of my time. I will never come back and recommend anyone and everyone to steer clear. read more

Food is great! I usually get the tender and sandwich combo! I come here a lot cause it's open late (12am). The people are pretty nice and the inside and outside seating is kinda cool for a chicken sandwich place! Would recommend! read more

Was out enjoying an evening with the family and we decided to try this place . We heard about it on Facebook ,and the chicken was really good ,I got the hot (8 of 10 hot level ) and my wife got the light mild one (she said there was too much seasoning on it ) maybe if they had option on how much seasoning they put on it ,her opinion but will try the reaper next time, the waiver you have to sign scared me off tbh lol read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - hot Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ cheese Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Not Hattie B's in Nashville, but well-cooked chicken with some real good heat. Only drawback is the sauce, which was fairly tasteless and lack of ranch to have something to cool you down. The fries were very good but ask for them without the seasoning (paprika?). Also, one slider is plenty for one person, unless you have a huge appetite or plan to split the meal. read more

Got two medium spicy sandwiches to go. While tasty- I hate to say it- we both got sick. While part of me says no- I'll give it another shot.
