Okay - so I've seen this place and thought to myself - another chicken place. I figured it's just another place that covers the chicken in a sauce- but I was pleasantly surprised. Keven greeted me and walked me through their spice levels - so on the side of using good judgement I went for a medium 2 strip dinner. Made fresh to order it took about 8 minutes to get my order but it was a lovely change from the slightly warm chicken generally found at a fast food restaurant. These chicken strips were huge! And they've been crusted with the flavor - not drenched in sauce. The chicken was moist and delicious as were the seasoned fries. This will become a go to spot for chicken - winning out over any of the more well known places for me! read more

My son talked me into going here and it was decent. The Mac and cheese was the warmest thing served to me. The restaurant was clean but the music was a bit loud to have a conversation at the table. The food took a bit of time to be prepared, but it was presentable and tasty. I was a little disappointed that after spending $65 on three meals, I still needed to pay $1.65 for a side of ranch. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's X-Meal w/ 10 pc Bites - Chicken Shop Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

I dined at Dave's Hot Chicken today and the experience was decent overall. My favorite part of the experience is the decor because it's fun, loud and very colorful and makes the space feel energetic as soon as you enter - especially being greeted by Dave the chicken swirling along side a tornado lol saying "there is no place like Dave's!" Overall, it gives the restaurant a modern street style feel with the bold colors and graffiti around. We bought 2 - one tender and one slider combos $14 each along with buffalo style Mac and cheese with three small chicken pieces $7 and the final bill including tip was $42. The tenders were packed with flavor - crispy and juicy chicken. It was perfectly fried and had the right amount of medium level spice on it. However the buffalo style Mac and cheese was cold and underwhelming - three pieces of chicken with hardly any actual Mac and cheese and fries - it was not what I expected. I definitely expected more Mac and cheese haha. Another downside for me was the pricing of the combos/food- it was high because if you look at the combo it's just two tenders with some bread and sauce. Portion wise it didn't really match the pricing for more of a fast food restaurant setup. The restaurant was clean otherwise and the service was decent - nothing amazing as such. Overall, good fast food with high pricing for what you get. read more

Our first time here and it was great! The restaurant is clean and fun. Lots of cool art work on the walls. The food was incredible and huge pieces of chicken. 1 tender here is 2 1/2 of Canes. The lady who took our order was great as well. Service overall for fast food was great. Definitely would come back again. read more

First time here. Dave's hot chicken has been open for a while now and I've been wanting to try them. I must say, they were better than expected. Their chickens were not greasy and they have different levels of heat. Some people may be afraid to try them thinking they won't be able to handle the heat. I ordered their hot chicken sandwich with fries at the hot heat level. The fries were seasoned and really good. The chicken had a good flavor. I like spicy food and I think I can go higher than the hot heat level. Service was great. The guy at the counter explained to us the different heat level and made some suggestions of what we should try for a first time there. Casual dining atmosphere and I noticed a lot of on the go pickup orders while we were there. I would dine here again. read more

Daughter got Single slider basket deal. Mild level. Was the perfect spicy. Daughter ordered this. She is not into spicy too much. She said she wants to try a level up on spice next time. Her recommendation (11year old) is to smother it with honey. She is addicted. Basket comes with fries. Drinks sold separately. Cheesy fries. The way the cashier guy explained it to me was that. It's a layer of fries, A layer of cheese, another layer of fries and topped with cheese. That was not the case. Definitely only cheese over the top only but it's ok. I would've preferred my cheese on the side in a little dippy dip cup. Fries. The fries over all are good. Crinkle fries and the seasoning is not too bad either. I won't say you can't really mess up fries because some people actually DO, but these fries were cooked to perfection. All in all. The food looks delicious. I'm not really a chicken sandwich person so I was really only bringing my daughter for lunch to try it out but she said it's her new favorite place and since she is MY child she has a pretty wide taste palette and knows good food vs average food but since she also follows trends, I will give it a 6/10. Employees were nice and came to a couple tables to check how people were liking the food and they got orders in and out pretty quick. The space is small. It can fill up pretty quick. read more

First time trying this restaurant. Walked in and it was very busy. At first was worried about finding a seat but we did. We ordered the two tenders with fries. I did not get any sauce. My husband had the mild. The chicken was very juicy and the coating was crunching and very tasty. The fries had a coating on them which brought them to life! We ordered and got our order very quickly. The restaurant was clean and colorful. We will definitely go back in the near future! Staff was very nice! Highly recommend Dave's Hot Chicken!! read more

Food was great never been here before. Got two chicken tenders. That were huge fries were wonderful. The Dave's sauce was spicy but flavorful you can get it many different types of spice and it's rubbed in. I got medium and it was fine. We definitely go hotter next time cool ambience with the music playing. Not cheap but no fast food as these days service was impeccable definitely go back. read more

We were in the mood for some hot chicken so we decided to give Dave's Hot Chicken in Overland Park. The prices are a little steep for chicken tenders and fries but we stayed anyway. Our chicken was fresh and seasoned well. We ordered the medium spice level -- it was spicy but not too much. The slider had a kale slaw that muted the spice. The tenders themselves are pretty big so I appreciated that for the price. Our fries were warm and soggy. I wish they would have been fresh. The store was messy and understocked. The soda dispenser was out at least 2 sodas. The napkins needed restocked in that area too. The tables in the restaurant needed cleaned. We noticed some wipes on the trashcan we were planning on using but they were also out. read more

Been wanting to try this place out since their grand opening but it is never in our way. Tonight, we made the trip. Totally worth it! 10/10 I was not feeling the heat so I got #4 (chicken slider with coleslaw, fries, and pickle) with "mild" level . It did not disappoint! Don't be fooled by "slider" It is as big as regular chicken sandwhich. However, I wish it was chicken pattie and not 2 pieces of tenders on burger buns. It kept falling apart. The tender was moist and flavorful. Also, best fries in town!!! And the dipping sauce is the party of the show. We came in late on a Sunday night. There were constant people in and out. But our food came out really quick. Maybe less than 15 minutes wait? I will be back. read more

We actually had a very nice experience today! Came in during lunch rush and got through the order line quickly and got our food fast. Great menu selection and heat options. We were impressed with the freshness and spices, the crispy fries and the quality of the chicken. We will definitely be back and recommend to friends! read more

I've stopped in here to pick up dinner, and ordered via DoorDash a few times now, so I think it's fair to say I'm a fan. There was a ton of hype surrounding Dave's when it first opened so I was a bit worried it might be overblown as often new chains that open up in the area are. I'm happy to report though that as unhealthy as this addiction is, I love Dave's Hot Chicken. First things first. When we ordered for the first time we noticed they sell "sliders" I want to let folks who haven't been here yet know that a slider is (at least to me) a full on sandwich here. I find that one slider with fries is more than enough food. I think the first time I ordered I did one slider, one tender, and fries, and I didn't even touch the tender until the next day. Those are also huge BTW. Now onto the food: overall, it's great. The chicken has fantastic flavor, the sauce is better than Cane's, and the fries are tasty. I do think the fries could be a smidge better, but I mean for a fast food place I think they rank pretty high in my book. Some of the reviews are complaining about the price. I honestly don't see that as an issue. Is it more expensive than say, McDonalds? Yes, but it's also a lot higher quality, more filling, and you get more food. DoorDash is fast with Dave's and if you order online and pick up it's even better. The one time I stopped in to get my food on the way home from an event I found the restaurant clean and inviting. I'm honestly not one to dine in at a fast food place often, but this one felt nice enough to be worth the experience. Overall Dave's has become one of my guilty pleasures and I think if you're craving a really great fast food style hot chicken sandwich this is an excellent choice. read more

Fast service non soggy chicken great place Mac and cheese is amazing service was also very good I love Dave's

It's a great restaurant, I walked in at 9:35pm checked google to see they close at 10pm. I get it it's getting late. I walked in they saw me walk in. Walk to the kiosk ordered two meals got to the check out after it said it didn't take it. The guy walks over and says the kitchen is closed at 9:30pm, understandable but let me know when we walk in before we check out a whole meal...... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken nuggets - Medium- I like a little heat not a lot but these were not spicy at all. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

See all

It was an OK experience. Our cost for two meals and one drink was $33 so I'm rating them based on that. If we can get a similar meal at a fast food place for $10 less you have to really step it up to make it worthwhile to me. We couldn't tell a difference between the Medium and the Hot chicken. Near the end I think I figured out which of mine was spicier. We came ready for spicy and it didn't deliver. I guess we should have ordered Extra Hot..but the level above that required you to sign a waiver so I figured Hot would be Hot enough. This might be your new favorite place though because though the heat and flavor didn't match my expectations I found the chicken to be juicy and well breaded with crispy coating. The potato buns were soft and fresh. There were extra pickles and their mayo-sauce in the basket. The fries were hot and well seasoned. It was served quickly and there was room enough for a group of friends to come and hang out. The dining room had fun painted murals and ceilings. I think perhaps that like Pizza, we all just have our own particular preferences for chicken. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Two slider meal, one medium and one hot. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Tried Dave's Hot Chicken for dinner this week. We must have gone at just the right time, because there was no line and we got our food very quickly. All the front counter help were super friendly. The hot has amazing flavor, and the tenders are so crispy with just the right amount of heat. The medium was good, but I'd get Hot and the extra Hot next time. Definitely put that honey all over your chicken, and they give lots of pickles on the side, huge bonus for me. I didn't get the macaroni and cheese, but I've had it before at a catering and it was delicious. The shakes looked good, but I was too full to try one this time, there's always next time! The atmosphere is fun and casual, only downside is we didn't find the chairs to be comfortable, but that's not important with chicken this good! read more

Food is Overpriced. Chicken was Over seasoned. Cold - sat in the window while she bagged to go food that came up after ours was in the window. Fries were so salty you couldn't eat them. First and last trip read more

I decided to try the newest hot chicken spot on the the block. I ordered online and it was ready to go right on time. And the order was actually accurate. I tried the one tender, one slider meal. I had considered getting an extra tender but after reading everyone's reviews about portion sizes, I decided not to. I was definitely full, extra tender unnecessary. I ordered the slider In medium. It had no spice but was still good. The slaw was fresh and it was more of a regular sandwich size vs a slider. I ordered the tender in hot but I found it still lacking heat. The chicken wasn't dry and had good flavor. The pickles are good and nice and fresh. The crinkle cut fries are standard but delicious. We did get a side of cheese sauce and it was basically cheez whiz. The Mac and cheese wasn't my favorite. I found it had a plastic aftertaste to it and it reminded me of frozen stouffers version. I will definitely be back but will probably opt for the 2 tender meal but in hotter varieties. PS. Their chicken logo reminds me a bit of Taylor Swift... read more

Came out to try the new place, staff is accommodating, lobby is unique and plenty of seating. The line was long, 1 hr from the start to order, food came out pretty quick and was hot. I offered 2 #') 3's and 1 # 4 I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 on flavor portion sizes were great and daves sauce is 5/5 on it's own. I personally had mild which was not spicy at all ( wanted flavor over heat) The fries were 3.5/5 as well decent seasoning good crunch to them as well. If you haven't been come out and give them a try. read more

Dave's first KC metro location served up some somewhat tasty Nashville-style chicken and delicious fries during my opening day dine-in lunch but there was room for improvement. My #3 meal {$12.99 without drink) included a tender on a piece of white bread, a tender sandwich with kale slaw and Dave's sauce, crinkle cut fries and pickles. I picked up my order when the beeper went off just three minutes after I ordered at the counter, where the service was efficient and accommodative. I was also checked on by a manager - nice! I liked the Nashville-style chicken with seven different heat levels. I tried the medium heat level. It was salty and a little tangy. The tender was nicely sized, not especially thick and somewhat moist. It was served on a piece of very stale white bread. The slider had a smaller tender, a fresh bun and tasty kale slaw without much apparent kale. I was pleasantly surprised by some of the best fries I've had in quite a while. They were crinkle cut, not greasy, crunchy and extremely flavorful on the outside while being meaty on the inside - nice! I found the dining area to be clean and new with an urban graffiti theme and 80's background music, but the music was quickly drowned out by the noise of the opening day crowd. I noticed some unsettling stinginess like the extremely small, laughable (4 oz?) water cup and the thin napkins that made me question if they had also cut back in other unseen areas. The #3 meal wasn't a value at $12.99 before a drink, but it was a lot of food. Next time I'll order just a tender with fries a la carte because they don't offer that as a meal. Overall, I'm going with 3.5 stars and rounding down for the stale bread and the obvious stinginess on items related to the customer experience. read more

It was my first visit and they were very helpful. I wasn't sure if I wanted the medium or hot so I was able to get one each. I won't say which one I preferred but I will say they live up to the "hot" part of their name. I fully recommend this place and can't wait to go back and try more menu items. read more

The sandwiches at Dave's are usually really good. I always get two sliders with cheese. The service can sometimes be slow so we've learned to order ahead and pick it up to go instead. The ambiance is nice and the wall graffiti is fun to look at. The spice levels vary each time we've gotten them. Sometimes the mild is spicy, and other times it's not spicy at all. They usually do a pretty good job with the seasoning but sometimes it's super powdery or overwhelming to the point where you can't eat it because all you get is a mouth full of powder seasoning. For the most part they are consistent with their portion sizes but I've noticed that the flavors and amount of seasoning on the chicken vary each time. read more

The staffs were friendly, though they did miss my order the first time. It would've been nice if they offered things like honey packets without needing to ask. Overall, the tables were kept clean as well as the bathroom. I liked how there were plenty of parking available. Ended up ordering Dave's #2, which comes with two sliders and fries. I went for the Extra Hot, but it wasn't quite as spicy as I had hoped. That said, compared to traditional Nashville hot chicken, it was still pretty decent. The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, and the pickles added a great touch to the overall flavor. One pleasant surprise was their Kale Slaw. I'm not typically a fan of kale, but using it in the slaw was a nice twist--it tasted great! On the plus side, they're open until 11pm, which makes it a perfect spot for a late-night snack! read more

Daves Hot Chicken Was Actually Okay! Upon Walking In We Were Greeted By A Relaxed Vibe And A Super Kind Server.

There Just Wasn't Anything That Would Make Me Want To Come Back To Dave's As A Regular However, If You Haven't Been, I Would Suggest Trying It! read more

This is definitely one of my favorite chicken places! The portions are generous, the flavor and crunch is on point, the buns are soft, the fries are classic, the kale slaw is great. It would be nice to put in requests when ordering on the app as I would ask that the slaw be in the side (little bit of distance away and that would help keep the chicken crunchy). I'm also wondering if it's possible to get the fries unseasoned since they are heavily seasoned. I'll definitely see the next time I go. The restaurant is super cute and fun on the inside. As a whole, it is a bit on the pricier side for chicken but it's definitely worth it! read more

Was super excited to check out this new chicken joint. I was warned by some friends that their chicken is hot hot. I ended up ordering a two piece meal (mild) with a side of mac & cheese and a chocolate shake. I definitely could've gone hotter with my chicken. It wasn't as hot as I thought it was going to be. The chocolate shake was already super melted when I got it. It definitely reminded me of a Wendy's Frosty. The mac & cheese was OK, I don't think I'll get it again. It was a little too liquidy and not enough cheese. Awesome artwork throughout the building. I loved how they incorporated Kansas City themed pieces. I definitely want to come back to try a hotter spice level. read more

The chicken flavor was very good and I liked the spice level of the medium chicken that I got. The portions were generous but overall I feel it was a little pricey for what we got and compared to other chicken restaurants. I would probably come back to try one of the other items, their sandwich was very good, but basically it was chicken Strips on a bun. If you're in the mood for basically chicken strips, I would probably go somewhere that is less expensive in my opinion. But if you're looking for spice, this is probably the place for you. read more

Finally got around to trying this. I'll start with the food. As you can see by the photo the tenders are huge. With both the tenders and slider, we got mild. Wasn't hot at all, seasoning had a slight sweet taste on the back end which wasn't bad. The fries had a bit too much seasoning on them but fried okay. The Mac and cheese was very lackluster. Had no taste to it at all and wouldn't recommend. Service was pretty fast for a to go, we came as they were getting dinner rush orders. However I noticed the person in front of me got offered extra sauce, forks , etc. and when my turn came, nothing was offered. Restaurant itself was very clean and colorful, will say music was a bit loud. Will probably try them again in a few months. read more

Dave's makes very tasty chicken sandwiches. Popeyes is still my fave though, because their bread is so amazing- like brioche. Dave's bread is just a regular ol' plain bun.

Chicken is good and you can select how hot you want it. Their hottest is way hot all the way to no heat at all. Down side is the heat is a dust and not a liquid so it can have a rough texture leaving a film in your mouth but well worth giving it a try. Staff is not real friendly. Kind of get the feeling they don't really want to work there. read more

Very legit hot/super-hot/mild chicken. Nice batter without being the main part... Simple food menu - sliders (that are big) , tenders, a combo of, all with fries Service - fast 2 - 5 minutes to get you order Ambiance - simple whataburger like bright interior. Got the 2 tenders and fries meal ( they have like 6 combos on the menu). Medium hot has good spice without being OMG spicy. Spice level goes up to "Reaper" which is now the #2 spicy-est pepper on the planet. Tenders are pretty big as I had to take 1 and some fries home. Fries - crinkle cut and crispy, good flavor, comes with a good dipping sauce, and ketchup packets are available as well. read more
