This place is so flippin' good. I love super spicy foods and their Reaper chicken doesn't disappoint. Now, keep in mind, I'm a spice nut. I love all the hot peppers. For you chili heads out there, this will be a 2 or 3 out of 10 but for non-chili heads, it's a 10. Flavor is so good. My kids live this place. Make sure to get the sauce and mix it with honey to put on the chicken. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Plano, Texas

Good hot chicken!! Hubby & I decided to grab lunch before Christmas shopping and we came here. We ordered at the counter & then found a seat and waited on our order. I got the 2 tender meal - medium spice. Hubby got the slider meal - hot spice. The tenders are huge and I probably would have been fine with one tender for lunch. The chicken & fries were really good. My meal came with slices of bread, pickles, and their special sauce. Good eating here. Definitely try them out. read more

Never had hot chicken so stopped in while visiting Dallas. Pleasant experience. Service was great 5/5. Ordering was easy, and someone came and checked on us and gave us more sauce despite it not being a waited restaurant. For the chicken, I got the two tenders spice level hot. I would describe the heat as sort of equivalent to the atomic level at wingstop. Can burn you lips after a couple bites. It was well seasoned and came out crispy, but imo could use some more general flavor other than paprika-type heat. Fries came out fresh. Has some seasoning on it. Worth a try if you've never had it. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Tenders with Fries-Hot - Chicken Shop Near Me - Plano, Texas

Thanks to Julie the customer service representative who sent me a code to try the restaurant again I was pleased with the food the second time. I didn't realize that you can get the chicken with no spice. The chicken was juicy and cooked well but I'm going to try the little spice next time because hey you need a little kick I think. The fries were excellent. And I like that the cashier came to my table to check if they got it right this time. I hate that I didn't ask his name. Again the music was great(the volume could have been a little lower)and made me want to stay. Great job Dave's! I wish you were closer to me in the Wylie/Sachse area read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries No spice - Chicken Shop Near Me - Plano, Texas

Dave's hot chicken was okay. If you're looking for a quick bite while in the area I'd recommend giving them a try. Their milkshakes and fries are the best thing on the menu. Their chicken is fresh and flavorful. The sauce is different, similar to canes sauce. Service was good, it's more so a fast food style minus a drive thru. The inside was nice with pictures on every wall. It's overpriced for the amount of food you get and you have to buy your drink separately. read more

Honey on chicken is my new thing. Food: My bf & I usually split the 2 sliders (a medium for him & a hot for me) with fries. It is just enough food so nothing goes to waste - I love that. We were so skeptical about the honey, but it has been life changing in the best way. Service: We've been here 3 times & have met nothing but kind and friendly workers. Environment: We've never had an issue with finding a table, but we don't ever go during peak hours. Very clean! read more

Ate here for the first time, around 7pm on a Friday evening. Busy but didn't wait more than 5-10 mins. We each had the one slider and one strip with fries (one was cheese fries). We really liked the sliders. They are more like a full size chicken sandwich than what you would imagine a slider to be. We had medium heat which was nice and spicy but not painful spicy. We liked the sandwiches. The strips somehow don't taste as good, maybe b/c the spice rub against your tongue just doesn't taste or feel right. The strip comes with a slice of white bread but the white bread was stale. We really liked the sliders, the slaw, sauce and pickles on it - altogether really good. And the fries were great, especially the cheese fries. We will definitely eat here again. Service was very friendly. Next time I'll just order one slider with fries. read more

Almost $30 dollars for 4 pieces of chicken and fries. Not including the 3.00 drinks. What a robbery that was.

Great meal just like at their other location. Be sure to put some honey on the mild tenders to cut the spicy taste. Pieces are very large so we ate enough with fries and took plenty home. When traffic is heavy on Preston Rd it is time consuming and dangerous to approach from south to crossover in front of oncoming southbound traffic. Suggestion: take light at Headquarters and go left (west) on Headquarters Dr for about a block. Turn right on Belleview Dr which is road behind (west) of restaurant, continue to Towne Square and turn right which will put you very close to restaurant. This route is also good when traveling east on Headquarters Dr, no need to go out onto Preston Rd. read more

I recently stopped by Dave's and had a great experience! Everyone was polite and helpful. The food was actually fresh! Jennifer seemed to be in charge and had the place humming! Excellent ambiance! Definitely returning soon! read more

Great food. Too bad it's so expensive. It makes the Ricky's Nashville Hot Chicken right across the street that much more attractive. I love the reaper sliders with cheese. Awesome stuff. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - #Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Plano, Texas

I've been waiting for Dave's Hot Chicken to open and today, I FINALLY am able to eat a piece of this artistic and magnificent display of Nashville Hot Chicken! If I were to sum up this restaurant in one word, it would be "AMAZING!!!" It's so good; the chicken is moist and hot and served in a nice nest of cheese and bread with the perfect melody of spices and coleslaw. The bread feels and taste like the same awesome bread at Shake Shack! The fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned on the outside while the inside is nice and hot and soft. Anyways, I can't wait until tomorrow so that I can digest my food and be ready to come back for another order!! P.S. The simple menu with only three selections is brilliant! No need to wait for another person to take 15 minutes just to figure out what to order. So, the food comes quick and hot. Execution at its finest. read more

Outstanding Nashville style chicken and I love the decor. Service was very friendly and attentive, definitely 5 stars!!!

This place is amazing. The spiciest chicken they have is spicy but also very flavorful. Definitely recommend the sliders with cheese. It's grand read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Plano, Texas

I wanted this to be really good, but I ordered two cauliflower tenders and one regular chicken tender. The cauliflower tenders came with fries. The fries were delicious and flavorful but soggy and Luke warm. The cauliflower was delicious and flavorful but too much seasoning and I am Hispanic I love seasoning, but when I tell you they Put so much seasoning on this. It's crazy as well with the chicken tender. My daughter said it was lukewarm and I live three minutes away from the place. I drove straight from when I left to my house no stopping , also ain't some of the fries on the way very good in flavor, but soggy and lukewarm the flavors are very good but they don't have to put such a thick coating of the flavor. It's too much destroys the whole experience. read more

I got the Hot and the spice was seriously overpowering the great chicken. Not on the level of ghost pepper chili but beyond what I expected. Wasn't able to eat the third piece, so I won't get an additional to the 2 piece again. Might try something less spicy next time. read more

Fantastic and fresh food! I enjoy the tenders and the fresh slaw! I especially love dipping the chicken in the honey - YUM! This location is close to Legacy Heart Center, Sam's Club, Whole Foods and more! read more

If you can take spice you will love if you can't idk how your gonna make it they have some of the best sauce and honey is super good. I got the hot and mild chicken the mild is pretty good but the hot is sooo hot like I love spice but I started sweeting and I needed milk bad but overall really good. read more

I got the chicken sandwich - heat level i ordered was "extra hot"...there was not heat, no flavor (not even salt), however, the chicken looked red so I'm assuming they dipped it into something...not sure if they just had an off day or if i got someone else's order...I'm willing to try it again because i always give places a 2nd chance but i wasn't impressed the first time. Needless to say, i didn't finish the sandwich and got Chick-fil-a instead . read more

Everything that we had was amazing! We got the two slider meal with fries, single tender [for our sons], and a side of mac n cheese. We got mild or plain for the heat level. Can't wait to go back! read more

Just ordered Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time. The chicken sandwich was ok, the mac and cheese is a joke! The fries were ok also. read more

Chicken was juicy, crispy, and tasty in all the right ways. I had medium. My daughter tried mild but reported they were too sweet for her. Husband liked the hot, but will go up a spice level or 2 next time. Skip the Mac n cheese- it is a gummy, overcooked, mushy mess. read more

I consider myself a spicy chicken connoisseur lol. So I wanted to try this place out. They are definitely not falsely advertising because it was hot! One thing I noticed was the spice is more a "rub" than a sauce. I'd recommend it but just be weary about how hot you go. read more

My wife and I love Dave's hot chicken and it is one of the few places open later on in the evening making it a regular spot for us. Nayelis (spell check that) is so kind! She asked all the proper follow up questions for my meal, packed it perfectly, and had the kindest disposition. Thanks again for always making our evenings wonderful and yummy! read more

Holy crack. The most tender juicy and crunchy chicken strips. The exterior coating is thin but some of the crunchiest I've ever had. The spice levels are out of this world. I love spicy food but the hot was definitely hot And had me pausing to compose myself between bites. I think the chicken tenders are the way to go. make a sandwich with some extra honey, pickles and bread that they give you in that box. Mac & cheese is also great and fries are seasoned wonderful as well. they could be a little bit crispier but honestly I have no complaints. Can't wait to try again! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Plano, Texas

Great food & friendly service. Chicken was delish. Thumbs up from the minions. Worth the trip!!

Giving this place 4 stars for its quality and freshness. However- this was not what I expected. I think I made the mistake of thinking it was similar to Nashville Hot chicken and I was wrong. The chicken is really good, Cooked very well (and they're not stingy on the portion). The tenders that come inside the slider are huge. Me and my husband split the #2 which has two Sliders and fries. This was more than enough to split between the both of us. If you're craving Nashville Hot chicken, this is not your place. Nashville chicken has more of a vinegary sauce and more of a cayenne taste. Dave's Hot Chicken uses spices that taste almost of middle eastern cuisine. I think I tasted a little curry powder in the seasoning. The sliders come with kaleslaw and pickles. My only complaint was that there was no acidity besides the pickles to balance the sweetness from their sauce and their coleslaw. Their sauce is more mayo based. Overall, this place is good in its own way. Don't compare it to Nashville hot chicken and you won't be disappointed! read more

Love this place! Bryson helped us out and gave us a bunch of suggestions to make our experience better. Everything was so good and affordable. food came out quick. been to the california location and this tasted better. read more

Crispy on the outside, deliciously juicy on the inside. I was a tad worried about 2 tenders for $14, but they are huge. I couldn't finish both sliders. Compared to other hot chicken places, they're not quite as spicy. I'd probably go extra hot next time. Fries are crispy and on point. Staff is super friendly. Friendlier than even the lord's chicken place. Enjoyable experience, delicious grub. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - #2, one medium, one hot slider - Chicken Shop Near Me - Plano, Texas

I got some really weird pieces of chicken in my tenders I did eat around it obviously but just really strange everything else was normal. I'm not sure if this always occurs because this is the first time I ever tried the tenders alone, typically get the sliders. Not sure what if this always occurs but hopefully not. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - My weird chicken peices that looked like fish??? - Chicken Shop Near Me - Plano, Texas

It was chicken and it was hot besides that there isn't much else to tell. It was just ok sadly because I was pretty hyped for this place to open. Too many better choices than this place. read more

It's crazy how big their sliders are! My mom warned me, but when I ordered my food, when I opened my to-go box, it definitely was the size of a regular sandwich. I was not mad about it. I got the #3, which was a tender and a slider - the tender comes atop a piece of soft white bread, so essentially, I got two sandwiches lol. Let's just say, you get a lot of food! The fries are seasoned well, they're really good dipped in the Dave's sauce, order extras of those and I went all out and got the small chocolate shake - SO GOOD! read more

Love the taste. Was scared to try higher then Spicy. But have been told its worth it! & Halal + treat read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Tenders combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Plano, Texas

1st time here. Menu is limited but Food is really good if you're looking for Nashville style HOT chicken. I got the #2 which is 2 slider chicken sandwiches. These are really big so probably will down size the next time. I got the Medium heat. They have heat range from None-Reaper, medium for me was pretty spicy. Fries were good w a little season salt. All in all, really good experience. Sofa machine is coke products- Bonus! Also the place is really clean and efficient. Staff is over the top friendly and willing to help. The only sauce they offer is like Cains..kind of ketchup/mayo blend. No ranch or honey mustard, but still really good. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - #2 w cheese. This is really 2 full sized sandwiches, even though they call these sliders. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Plano, Texas

It seemed like a new place and who does'nt like chicken sammy every now and then (besides vegetarians)? Well the menu was simple and easy so that was good. The chicken? My life training eating pickled cabbage aka kimchee did not prepare me for the heavy salt ingrained in the cayenne/paparika dry rub on a crunchy chicken tender. Someone told me this was nashville style but I think I will stick with chickfila. The powdered spice was alright but the saltiness was just too much to go furthur and enjoy the flavor. The breading was not thin as I read in other reviews but more similar to a thick crunchy local grocery store breading. Not exactly a plus for me but others may like that style. Sadly will pass in the future unless psycho hunger kicks in with a benevolent payor. My rating scale: 1=Stay home and fast or eat dirt 2=I am psycho hungry and someone is paying 3=Average and I am hungry 4=Tasty yum yum! 5=OMG, I ate my fingers too! read more

awesome new chicken place you have to try it. they have a special sauce to die for. I always get an extra pack of sauce that way if I ever get a chicken fillet sandwich, I put it on it. read more

I love the design and set up of this place. The staff was very friendly and had the food out quick. However the chicken was SO salty, I had to take most of the breading (which is the whole point in hot chicken) to even eaten the chicken because I couldn't get past how awful the salt intake was. The frys and Mac n cheese were average, nothing to rave over. read more
