If you're looking for the best hot chicken in Roseville, Dave's Hot Chicken absolutely deserves five stars! My wife is pregnant and has a gluten allergy, and all she could talk about was craving Dave's Bites. We weren't sure if there was any way they could accommodate her, but the staff went completely above and beyond. Not only did they take the time to understand her allergy, they made special preparations to create a gluten-free version of Dave's Bites, taking every precaution to avoid cross-contamination. That level of customer service, care, and attention is incredibly rare. Seeing my wife's face light up as she finally got to enjoy exactly what she had been craving made our day. They didn't just serve amazing food--they showed genuine compassion and made us feel like valued guests. If you're searching for gluten-friendly restaurants in Roseville, hot chicken, excellent customer service, or simply a place that truly cares about its customers, Dave's Hot Chicken is the place to go. The food was incredible, the staff was amazing, and we'll definitely be back. Thank you for going the extra mile to make sure my wife's little pregnant belly was full to the brim with exactly what she was craving. You earned customers for life! read more

I want to start by shouting out to Marco at this location very cool dude he saved me from the spiciness of the reaper tenders, the place is very chill and laid back to hangout with family and friends, the tenders were good, I was warned by the cashier as soon I signed that waiver lol. I will definitely come back and try something more mild lmao, like the ghost pepper one. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Carolina Reaper Tenders and fries. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Roseville, California

I like to order the chicken tender for value. It comes on top of untoasted white bread, which may be worth skipping to save on carb intake. Pro Tip #1: You can order the Potato Bun separately for $1, instead of paying for a slider. Pro Tip #2: For any Combo meal, you can change the Fries to either Mac & Cheese or Coleslaw for no extra charge. Medium heat level is safe to try. Maybe one day I will try Hot. My favorite side is the Mac & Cheese, but I do like the Fries and Coleslaw. If you choose Coleslaw, you can use it to make your own slider. Otherwise, you could use the complimentary pickle slices in your slider. The Hot Mozz fried cheese is good if you eat it soon after ordering. Otherwise, you might need to reheat to get the cheese gooey and stretchy again. One for $2.99, but the $9.99 3-pack Hot Mozz Combo with Side is better value. Strawberry Milkshake needed a little time to melt. Initially, it was hard to slurp through the straw. Bright, colorful, mostly red, graffiti themed restaurant decor with an industrial feel. Plenty of seating, including outdoor dining. Bathrooms require a passcode. You can conveniently order using the app, using one of two self service kiosks, or at the counter. Fast and efficient.

I love Dave's Hot Chicken. A good meal to get is the two sliders and fries, which costs $15. What a great deal! It is totally worth it. But for my spicy lovers, get medium -- it has that kick. It will be spicy, but the coleslaw and honey in the sandwich will cool your mouth down from the heat. The service was good. They brought our meal as quickly as possible. They have bathrooms, but they are locked, so you need to ask them for the password. read more

Got 6 sandwiches and they were al great. Got some fries and 2 Mac and cheese sides. Kids enjoyed the no spice sliders, I got medium and wife got mild- we both loved it but wanted to try a bit spicier. So she went for hot and I went for extra hot , and there definitely was a noticeable increase in spice level. Feel like the difference between medium and hot was pretty big though. The Mac and cheese was nice and gooey, and the fries were nice and crispy while super flavorful. I'd eat here again. read more

This is my first time trying this place, since I heard from my friend to give it a try so I come to Roseville location. The store is big with lots of seating. When I walked in, there is one lady in the front counter. She was friendly.Basically I just order in the counter and pick up when is ready. I Read the reviews before decided which one try and decided to try the Hot and the non spicy one for my kid. The food was pretty good, it's hot and good portions since I order the 2. Kids love the fries, at first I thought it will be spicy since I saw the red pepper flakes on the fries, But it's good actually not spicy for the kids to try. I love spicy so the hot flavor one is definitely my favorite. The spice is just good without any sauces already. The store is kind of too warm. They probably have the heater up too high. Imagine eating hot chicken in warm temp. Once we eat quickly we just left. Definitely will be back for the food. read more

I finally tried Dave's Hot Chicken and ordered the Dave's #1, which comes with two chicken tenders (I chose medium and hot) along with fries. Overall, it was a really solid experience. The fries were deliciously crispy, well-seasoned, and super satisfying. The chicken itself was juicy, tender, and flavorful, which was definitely the highlight of the meal. You can tell they do their chicken well. My only critique is the heat levels. I didn't feel a big difference between the medium and hot, and neither was as spicy as I expected. If you're a spice lover, you might want to go for a higher level. Other than that, everything tasted great, and I'd definitely come back. Juicy chicken, tasty fries, and good overall flavor. Dave's Hot Chicken delivered. read more

Came in this morning to pick up my order and ended up chatting with the staff. I told them I love spicy but I hadn't had the reaper yet, so the cook asked if I wanted one of the bites dipped in reaper so I said ok. I licked it in the store just to taste and it kicked hard but I wasn't dying. When I got home though I took an actual bite and it was like being pepper sprayed in the mouth. I started sweating immediately and tears ran out of my eyes. I love spicy food but I feel like if I ate a whole meal with chicken or hot mozz lathered in the reaper sauce, it would be a serious health risk. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Ordered from my hotel room and it was so good :) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Roseville, California

The service here was the very best I've experienced in a while. I was not planning on reviewing a Dave's Hot Chicken until after my experience. But the food was cooked just right and had the perfect amount of spice and heat. Definitely plan on using a single hand to tackle this chicken masterpiece. And with loads of napkins. The sauce compliments every bite. Our group had a mixture of sliders and tenders and one had the Buffalo Mac. We all raved about the chicken. What also stood out was the attention we received in the dining area checking on us several times by two different staff. This place has it all together. Yea! Great Job. Sorry no pics. read more

I've always loved Dave's Hot chicken and I've been coming to this location for a while! I believe a few months ago they got new management and the team is very unprofessional along with the manager. I asked to speak with a manager about a week ago and she came out and was incredibly rude along with unprofessional. I've noticed employees touching their hair and not washing their hands!!! I believe the place is run extremely poor and now I go out of my way to drive to further location. Hope this helps! read more

Mark was an amazing staff member who helped me out plenty and was very respectful and kind. The food was great and he made sure to give me plenty of updates for when my food was going to be ready. read more

Came here today for lunch while in the area to try something new. It is located near In n Out on Fairway. The place is fairly big with a lot of seating. You order at the counter. Not a lot of choices. Fried chicken strips with bun or no bun and fries but you choose your level of heat from none to reaper. I got light mild and hubs got HOT. Girl asked if he was sure about that as a first timer and he said yes. It was Hot but not unbearable. There was different "combos" with fries that I thought were fairly priced until I learned that does not include a drink. We spent $28 for lunch for two. Food arrived very quick. Maybe 6 mins? which worries me how much is pre-cooked. The chicken and the flavor was just okay. Nothing special. And their sauce was mayo with a little buffalo sauce that was so underwhelming. At least Raising Cains has a unique flavor. Food was a 3. I ding a star because BOTH of our orders was wrong! I asked for no slaw and I got slaw. Hubs added french fries. No fries. When he finally got it, they didn't give him any of the 'special' sauce. Very forgettable. I will not be back. read more

On our way to the gym tonight, we passed Dave's Hot Chicken. These guys are a month new on Fairway Drive in Roseville, so after we burned some calories, we came here for dinner. We pulled into the shopping center with plenty of parking... at least at 10pm, there is plenty of parking. We liked that DHC is open until midnight. That makes good competition for In n Out, lol... when we walked in, we walked up to the kiosk to order our food. They had chicken tender and chicken sandwich options. Sliders, shakes, fries, Mac & cheese, and 7 different levels of heat for their chicken, from no spice up to the reaper level (2 million scoville!!!)! We both ordered the 2 tender combo with fries. It comes with pickles, bread, and a dipping sauce. I started out easy with the mild flavor. My other have got hot. We sat at a table while we waited for our food to be ready. The seating area is huge with bright vibrant colors on the walls. We both got waters and an employee, Jose, cleaned the table for us. He asked if we'd ever been here before. Since we hadn't, he told us he was sure we were going to like it. Our name was called and we walked to the front to get our food. The girl at the counter got us loaded up with sauces like ketchup, Dave's sauce, and honey. First bite was so delicious. The chicken tenders were huge. It was crispy on the outside and super juicy on the inside. I definitely could've handled hotter. When Jose came back to check on us, I told him the chicken was great, but the fries were not hot so they weren't good. He offered to bring us fresh hot fries. Those hot fries were so much better! It was good, delicious, and hot. Dave's sauce was pretty good, too. I would've loved some ranch, lol... Dave's Hot Chicken seemed to have a lot of paprika. I honestly think other chicken tender competitors taste better, but I would definitely order at Dave's Hot Chicken, again! Great juicy, crispy chicken and amazing customer service, thanks to Jose... it's s win win! read more

I have been dying to try Dave's Hot Chicken since I saw the line out the door at their new Reno location. Finally got the chance today while in Roseville. Nice new location. There was a decent crowd already dining, as well as a decent line waiting to order. They also have 2 kiosk you can order at. We waited about 15 minutes for our order. Nice and hot! I got the #3 and went with extra hot slider and hot tender. Extra hot was so damn good, but after my first sip of soda, the heat got hotter! I was stuffed after the slider so took the tender home. Hours later it was still pretty crunchy and delicious. We also order #2 tenders as mild and they had great flavor without a kick. Perfect for kids or those who don't like spicy foods. The kale slaw in the sliders is a nice touch. They also give extra pickles on the side. They definitely came in handy. Now that Mac n Cheese.... In the words of my teen, was mid. Regrettable decision, and I should have stuck with the fries, as those were better tasting. We will definitely eat at Dave's again, hopefully they open a location near Elk Grove! read more

Brand new location for Daves Hot Chicken. Clean, neat, well appointed. Kiosk or verbal ordering both available. Chicken focused fast food establishment. Batter has lots of good spices in it without heat. Many heat levels available from "no spice" to Reaper. A number of sides available including mac & cheese. The chicken tenders are HUGE and come with slices of white bread. The tenders come with a side of sauce and pickles. Great alternative for battered chicken! read more

It's a no for me dawg! Takes forever to get your meal even when they aren't very busy, food arrives....chicken seasoning has a red curry type of taste to it along with tendon that you can't bite through. Didn't feel cooked properly, I couldn't finish eating it. read more

The server did offer a military discount when asked, but it essentially just covered the sales tax. The place was busy with lots of dine-in guests and to-go orders. Portions were decent, but spending around $30 for two meals felt steep, especially compared to the value of In-N-Out next door. Food wasn't too spicy for medium spice level. I probably wouldn't come back unless there were deals to help offset the cost. The interior has lots of drawings on the walls, which gives it a casual, busy vibe. read more

Me, personally, this is absolutely not my thing. Too greasy and blah. Maybe a nice salad with it would have been great, and cole slaw does not suffice for salad. Now, my husband liked his and would return and get a hotter one. He got what they said is comparable to jalapeño, but did not detect heat at all. The kids in the corner were crying over the reaper they shared. Lastly, a little plastic thing of prepackaged ranch for $1.61?!?!? Really?? Passed. Oh and the older gal with the big glasses working the counter(she told us her name but I forgot), was absolutely wonderful and informative. read more

Had to check out the new Dave's while we were out running errands. Lots and lots of seating. Service was fine, seemed like they were still getting things dialed in. Patience !!

Every Dave's Hot Chicken, for the most part, serves their food the same and it's amazing as always. The highlight of this location has to be the amazing staff. Came here to get my food with my one-year-old son and the worker gave us a free mac n cheese for him to eat without us even asking. It really made our day and I can't thank the workers enough for their kindness and their 10/10 service. This location is a great location. Plenty of seating and a great place to dine at. If you want Dave's, come to this location. read more

Dave, we have been waiting for you to come to Roseville!!!! Hubs and I splurged on the tenders (medium), extra pickles and fries. The tenders were loaded with flavor, next time I will try the hot. Sadly, they were not crispy nor were the fries...ugh! They weren't even busy. Ca'mon Dave, cook to order please and make sure it's hot and crispy! I feel I wasted calories on like warn food. The pickles had a great crunch and flavor. They only provided one sauce cup but Angelina delivered more with our order. I am hoping things will improve, they just opened a few weeks ago. We will try it one more time!!! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - 1 piece medium tenders, Luke warm fries, crunchy pickles and Dave's sauce. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Roseville, California

Arrived JUST before the lunch rush. Ordering on the kiosk was super easy and the prices were reasonable. We ordered the two tender combo and the single slider combo. The only disappointment was that the combos don't come with drinks so it's not really a "combo." Our food was ready within about 10 minutes. The chicken was great and the fries were cooked perfectly, not soggy but not burnt. I do think they could have filled the basket of fries more but not a deal breaker. We will be back to try more soon read more

I was so excited to try the new Dave's Hot Chicken, I've tried to visit another location but the line has always been out the door so we went other places. Finally got to try it here and the food did not disappoint. I will say it took a long time to get our food at least from what I was expecting it didn't look too busy. The line wasn't long and just a handful of people dining in so I thought it would be quicker. So have to give it three stars based on how long it took to get our food. We ordered the slider combo that comes with two sliders and I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the slider, we could have easily shared. We also tried the loaded fries that had chicken pieces on top, those were great too. I love their pickles. We ordered the Medium heat, it had a nice kick but not too hot I think I will try the next heat level up next time. The fries were good and we were happy with how our food tasted. I loved the bright vibrant colors inside the restaurant and can't wait to go back, hopefully our food will not take as long. read more

We went on a rainy Monday around 8pm. It was a ghost town inside although a worker said they are usually slammed on certain days. They close at midnight most week nights and 2am during the weekends. The place was clean and a relaxing place to chill with 60's and 70's music playing. I've never been to any chicken place other than Chik-fil-A because I was under the impression that these places were expensive and lack flavor. I ordered the chicken sandwich, tender and fry combo. The other was a Buffalo chicken mac'n cheese large plate. They were both large enough to share among three people. We ordered the mild and there wasn't any heat but the chicken was very moist and the coating had the right crunch. The employees there were really helpful because it was my first time there. I can see where orders can take a while if that place was super busy. They cook your food to order, so everything is freshly made. They have it where you can order online if you don't want a long wait. Overall a great experience for me and my daughter and would order it with more heat next time. read more

Served Luke warm; was this under a heat lamp? Also note that drinks are not included with the meal.
