Very popular place, open late, chicken sandwiches are quite good, heat level options from none to a lot, would certainly recommend. I think it's fair to say chicken sandwiches and things are very popular, this place has really good spicy ones etc..

I had a craving for some Dave's so I made the trip over to Redmond because I wanted to give it another try. On my 2nd trip, several months later the food was much much better. Chicken was crispy and was seasoned really well. Fries were nice and crispy. I'd really rate this more of a 4.5 instead of a 4. The only complaint that I would have is that the portions seemed smaller, but that's not just a Dave's issue these days. Anyways, happy that I gave them another chance and I will be back. read more

I love chicken, especially fried chicken, and have a decent spice tolerance. So after seeing lines upon lines and packed tables multiple times at Dave's, I had to try it. I ordered online to try and save some of the wait time, but we were waiting to pick up way after our scheduled time. If the food was good, I'd be OK with it -- but this was the saltiest meal I've ever had in my entire life. I don't know how else to put it. The chicken in the sliders was coated in powder that hurt my mouth, the sauce hurt too, the pickles were even worse, and even the fries and mac&cheese were too salty! All of this compounded like crazy and there was just nothing you could do to escape it. I choked this down, really. The chicken wasn't very close to being juicy. It was expensive too, can't just let it go to waste. One star for the very secure togo packaging and another for the nice presentation (bright reds, greens, yellows) it had. But man, the spice isn't good (or there) and the salt is just awful! read more

The fried chicken was crispy and fries well seasoned. Ordered on the app and food was ready for pickup. Large spacious seating area and friendly service. Consider eating in if possible as fries get soggy. read more

DAVES HOT CHICKEN @ REDMOND Parking is honestly pretty horrible here. You'll really only find street parking unless anyone knows of a parking lot nearby. Since it's located in downtown Redmond, parking can be a bit of a challenge. The area itself is very walkable though, with plenty of shops around Redmond Town Center. You could honestly park at Redmond Town Center and walk over to Dave's Hot Chicken, it'll probably take about 10 to 15 minutes. Otherwise, you can try your luck with street parking, especially if you're just doing a quick pickup. I really wanted to try their mozzarella sticks, so I got the $10 combo that came with three mozzarella sticks, fries, and a drink. I ordered them at Medium heat and kind of wish I could've chosen different spice levels for each stick, but they were still really good. The place was honestly super crowded when I went. I feel like Dave's Hot Chicken is just an overall great chicken spot, and if you haven't tried their chicken yet, it's definitely a must. This time, though, I specifically wanted to try the mozzarella sticks. I placed a pickup order and got my food pretty quickly. They even had samples of their slushies and drinks available to try. The staff were super friendly, and the overall vibes were great. The atmosphere is really cool, and I love the design and branding of Dave's Hot Chicken. Overall, I had a great experience, loved the food, and would definitely come back again. read more

I absolutely love Dave's hot chicken and come here pretty often since it's so nearby but service is not doing Dave's justice. The amount of times they've forgotten items in my order is just ridiculous!!! Multiple tables were dirty and sticky. Today we paid for a pretty hefty order but they had forgotten my ranch and Mac n cheese!! I feel very discouraged to return and spend money here! read more

Got the two slider combo, which was a good portion for two. The chicken was so tender and juicy. You can choose different levels for each but you have to guess which one is which. I can handle spice pretty well, and I thought medium was barely hot. You can eat this without realizing it's supposed to be spicy. Lightly mild is kind of like a Dorito. Also got the hot mozz which had good cheese pull. The staff work hard to be quick despite the crowd and the place is kept clean and bright. read more

Been to this Dave's a few times, including this past Friday where they were absolutely PACKED to the brim at 6PM. The workers were slammed with endless orders and the restaurant barely had any standing space much less seating. They have iPads for folks placing their orders, but it's probably best to order online. A giant monitor indicates the status of upcoming orders and you pick up the food by the register as your number comes up. Wait time for food was an hour on the dot, so we went on a short walk around downtown Redmond. Quality here is consistently high regardless of if the store is empty or if the store is packed, which is huge kudos to the service team. If it's your first time at a Dave's, you gotta go for the #2 combo with fries. Spice here doesn't get too crazy; I'd say a medium is still pretty mild. Fries are always nice and dusted and the new mozzarella sticks are super seasoned as well. They had a bit too high of a breading ratio for my preference, but it's an elite first bite because of how dusted they are. read more

I heard about this place and decided to try it, so I drove all the way from Lynnwood to the Redmond location. When I arrived, the restaurant was very difficult to find. I walked around for about 10 minutes before finally locating it. When I went to the counter to pick up my order, I was told that my order had actually been placed at Pike Place. I had used the app and selected Redmond as my location, so I reasonably assumed I was ordering from Redmond. I explained the situation to the staff. One woman, who had her back turned toward customers the entire time and was focused on the kitchen, told me I would need to go to Pike Place to pick up my order. Pike Place is about 30 minutes from Redmond, and my final destination was already another 30 minutes away. I had also already driven 25 minutes just to get to Redmond. I explained that going to Pike Place was not an option, but she stated that it was my only option and suggested I reorder through the app. Reluctantly, I pulled up the app again. Even when selecting Redmond, the app continued to default to Pike Place. I showed this to the staff, and I also heard multiple customers outside expressing the same issue -- they were unable to place an order for the Redmond location through the app. After showing the issue again, I was told to reorder anyway. Once I placed the new order, I waited nearly another hour. I arrived in Redmond at 8:37 PM and was still there at 9:45 PM. The one bright spot was a young woman named Cathlina. She was very kind, sincere, and genuinely apologetic. She helped me place another order and repeatedly apologized to customers for the long wait times. She handled the situation with professionalism and empathy and never appeared frustrated, unlike the other woman who seemed to be in charge. Cathlina demonstrated leadership and customer service that far exceeded expectations -- she should be the manager. Overall, the experience was extremely frustrating due to app issues, long wait times, poor communication, and lack of accountability from management. If not for Cathlina, this experience would have been entirely negative read more

We were pleasantly surprised and impressed at the food quality and taste. There're 7 different spice levels, we got lite-mild and it wasn't spicy at all, but still very flavorful! We pass by Dave's alot and always see a long line, but we went on a weekday evening and there was no wait. I did read reviews that they don't give free water cups but when we went they were giving out free slurpie samples! read more

I love Dave's hot chicken. I'm glad they opened up a spot in Redmond. Location is spacious but just wished they have more parking spaces. My go to order is the chicken tender, a slider, and fries with medium heat. It always hits the spot. Line is long but goes by quickly. Service was excellent and they also give you free slush samples. read more

Kept getting recommended this place since it opened and finally tried it out. Probably the best chicken I've had in Redmond! Super delicious and filling portions! I got the medium thinking it would be spicier than it was. Next time I'll have to try a higher spice level for sure! Very clean, decorated location right downtown! The staff are kind and helpful as well. 10/10 read more

I got the 2 Tender + Fries combo and overall it was really good. The seasoning was on point with a nice kick, but the chicken itself was a little dry. Still enjoyable, just wish it had a bit more juiciness. Solid spot if you're craving spicy fried chicken! My boyfriend got the slider and tender combo and although his was delicious, i wish they added just a bit more veggies on the sandwich to mellow out the seasoning! read more

First time in a while having Dave's Hot Chicken and I missed it. Chicken is very tender, sauce is very good, and it's full of flavor. Ordered on a self serve Kiosk which honestly made things a little easier, but staff was still very kind and efficient. Plenty of seating inside and my girlfriend and I were able to enjoy a nice meal with plenty of table space. I will be back! read more

Pretty awesome, the chicken is great, the spice is awesome and the spice level does fit pretty well to their list. You can order at the counter or on the screen, but any special requests might not be read. We ordered no bun, but still got the buns. I mean I threw it out, but I hate wasting food. I wish they had a GF option with non breaded chicken. Now that the lines have disappeared and you can get in pretty quickly, great lunch option for cheat days. read more

Unfortunately I had to update my review to three stars only due to the service issue. I ordered using the app last Sunday and o had to wait close to 50 minutes for my food to pickup in a very crowded place and a long line of people. Then to find out I got my food with no spices instead of being a medium heat ? I feel that I got stock after paying on the app and I had no choice but to waste my time and wait. ?!!! They need to do something about the service asap and it should not take more than 15 minutes to 20 minutes to pick up an order. It was a truly a waste of my evening. read more

Do you like fried chicken? Then this is your spot! You will enjoy. Weekends are busy esp in the evenings. Getting a table to sit might get tricky so be prepared for a long wait. Family friendly place but it's more like a teenager hang out spot. Parking can be tricky as it's on a busy street. read more

More like Dave's Not Hot Chicken. I have a pretty decent spice tolerance and typically go to the cap hill location. I usually order medium spice for a kick and hot if I want a little pain, but the good kind. We were in Redmond for Derby Days so stopped by this location. Ordered a slider and bites, both medium. There wasn't a hint of spice to be found! My 10yo ate the bites and said it was less spicy than mild. Thinking it maybe our order got messed up, I went back and order another slider! This time hot. It literally came out the same spice (none) as the medium. Extremely disappointing and definitely did not satisfy the craving. Would rather get a McDonald's spicy McChicken. read more

Alright so we gave this place another shot since we FINALLY found street parking to walk in this establishment . We decided to order the #4 combo with a chicken sandwich and tender (hot spicy). The hot spice level had good flavor but man for me personally it packed some heat. We asked for water since we didn't want any soda other other drinks they offered. Unfortunately they said that they didn't serve water, so bring your own water bottle if you come here! Food was decent, the price overall was a bit pricey, and the only disappointing thing is they didn't serve water. read more

Great chicken sandwiches! Loved the amount of spice for the medium and hot. The spicy honey bites were fantastic.

I heard great reviews and really wanted to try Dave's hot chicken. Last week, late night on our way back from a trip we stopped at the Redmond location and picked up a togo order of Trio (4 sliders, 6 tenders, 2 mozz) as a late night meal to share between us. After reaching home, realized the packed order was missing 2 sliders. And for the other 2 sliders, there was the bread base but no chicken inside. The tenders and mozz were tasty. This was frustrating not only because we got only a partial order of what we paid for, but also that we depended on this as our late night meal and we got only half the food than what we expected. Wonder how difficult it is to double check and ensure the order is packed accurately. What a let down! read more

Ordered online with a suggested 15 minute pickup time. Arrived 10 minutes later, food was ready, tasted as if it was cooked 30 minutes ago. Luke warm chicken tenders and fries. Tenders lost the majority of their crunch. For the price point and serving size you'd expect their food to at least be somewhat fresh. Should have listened to the reviews. I'm sure the food is good if you're able to get hot off the fryer. I ordered at 2pm. I would avoid non peak hours, if not all together. Know you're gambling on freshly cooked food for premium prices. Bummer to get burned; and not the good kind. read more

I asked for a water cup and they flat out refused. Dave's hot chicken has no policy stating this rule. The staff was rude the food was mid at best and the fact they won't even give you a water cup is mind boggling to me read more

Food is ok, service is severely lacking. Have to always wait way longer than expected for food that is 90% deep fried. Also, great place if you want to be surrounded by a noxious high school kids. read more

Was so looking forward to trying this place. Been seeing it everywhere and had to stop by when we passed it on our drive. Sadly, our experience was sub par and food was mediocre at best. And service was lacking - a tip while paying for food before you experience the service?? There was no service!! We wiped our own table, that had crumbs and sauce on it, I watched 3 other people wipe their tables down as well. What service? They are in a tiny place with only 1 working bathroom as well. We got there, seemed busy so we knew the food had to be good. We ordered at the kiosk - triple dipper combo with sliders, mozzarella and dippers. Slider combo w fries, slider combo w Mac n cheese and a side of mozzarella. We rounded that off w sauces, a chocolate milkshake and 2 slushies. Food was warm, not hot, not fresh, fries tasted like they had been sitting out for a while, mac n cheese tasted like kraft box mac n cheese with spicy dust in it. Its literally just fried food with spicy dusting powder on it. The sliders!! The "sliders" are a joke! Literally a chicken nugget on a bun! So unimpressed with this food!! I will take Chick-fil-a or Popeye's over this place any day!!! Not to mention, prices for this mediocre food are pretty high for what you get, and a majority of it is á al carte! 10 out of 10 do not recommend and will not be back!! read more

Got the chicken slider meal and it was honestly one of the better chicken sandwiches I've had. I got medium hotness and also tried one of their slushy's. All the food was very good. The staff was super helpful in figuring out what to order since it was my first time and the restaurant was very clean and a good vibe. read more

I'm really disappointed with the opening. It's already their 4th day, and they're still taking over an hour to serve. Some advice: it would be great if they could develop a more efficient system and invest in more cooking equipment to speed things up. Also the taste is not worth it an Hour Waiting! I prefer Jollibee! Small serving also and size Too small and no proper planning read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Never Again!!!! waited for an Hour waisted time...for cheap tasted chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I wanted to like this place, I really did. I listened to the podcast where the original founders talked about how they built up this brand from a street food cart but somehow the reality just did not live up to the hype. I thought the food was very mid at best, and didn't feel like good value with the price point it was at. The seasoning felt too salty and almost to the sweet side, which is an odd combo. Personally I like the portion size and quality at Hangry Joe's Chicken in Kirkland better. Glad I could check this off my list but I don't think I'd be back for the food. read more

This place took 35 minutes to make a few sliders. That's an insane amount of time. How do they expect to stay in business

I came here I think after a couple of days after they opened and I went around 8 o'clock, and it was super packed like there was a big line outside the door and they have free slushes for people that are waiting over there but when I came, I was greeted by the cashier and I got my food. I got a number three. It was very delicious. I came with a chicken sandwich, tender fries, coleslaw and bread for like 16 $17 which is a good price and I'm very glad that we have some that's open till like late at night and I came here yesterday I got their loaded fries, cause one of my friends told me about it and so I got a small one yesterday. It was so delicious. I will keep coming here because the food is delicious. It's really delicious and the manager super cool read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Menu - Chicken Shop Near Me - Redmond, Washington

What a disappointing waste of $40. We ordered the tenderloin, and it arrived covered in a thick layer of uncooked spices that completely ruined the meat. The seasoning tasted raw, harsh, and overpowering, making the dish nearly inedible. I honestly can't believe a restaurant would serve food in this condition. A good cut of meat should enhance the flavor, not be buried under a coating of raw-tasting spices. One of the worst restaurant meals I've had in a long time. I would not recommend this place and will definitely not be coming back. P.S. I would rate zero to the food if I could. read more

The location is new and similar to other Dave's got chicken places. There's tons of seating but I t's very packed as it recently just opened. The space was very vibrant with the classics Dave's hot chicken feel. Unfortunately I ordered online and their to go window was closed so I had to go inside where it was extremely busy and it took additional time just to get my food because I had to get past everyone that was ordering to eat in the restaurant. Even though my food had been ready for some time there was not enough staff to help me get my food because of how many people there were. Staff was extremely busy and seems like management does not have the new store under control. I would wait to come try this place when it either gets less busy or they hire more people. Food was decent but it was not as warm as it could have been due to the extra wait time. Also there are not much signs for parking as I'm not sure if there's a lot but I looked for street parking. read more
