First time customer, like that the menu wasn't overwhelming, would have eaten in BUT the music was TOO LOUD, I could barely hear what the cashier was saying about the menu. The service was just a tad slow being that the menu wasn't too broad. I ordered the mozzarella sticks with fries, an add on tender and a slushie. The mozzarella sticks and fries were tasty and the tender was nice and juicy definitely will buy again, next time I'll try to go up on the heat scale. Only thing that I'll probably pass on is the slushie, it had good flavor but the ice too liquid ratio is off, I actually ended up with a cup of dry ice, not cool for the price I wanted to order a small but you only have one size (small) for 3.99. read more

I wouldn't call this fast food chicken since they don't have a drive-through. When you do order at the counter, they make it hot and fresh. It usually takes about 10 minutes...if you don't wanna wait - just order ahead and go pick it up. I've done both and inside it is clean and fresh! Onto the food let's talk about this excellent chicken. These are not tiny chicken tenders. They are large juicy, crispy and seasoned in a way you might not think until you've tasted it and then you'll know you need this flavor in your life. For me, I've tried both the medium and the hot varieties and if you want a little more kick go with the hot because the medium is really like a mild. They have a great dipping sauce for the chicken and I also recommend adding some honey packets as well. The fries that come in their basket are seasoned to perfection, crispy and great in the sauce too. I have had their slider with coleslaw and pickle, but for me, I just prefer the chicken strips alone themselves. All in all this is one of the best chicken tenders I've ever had. It's a step above Byrds Hot Chicken because of the size of the chicken. read more

First time here. I went to the one in Crown Point with my friend because her family loves this place. She said that the chicken tenders were massive. They were HUGE and it wasn't just breading. The flavor of Dave's hot chicken is different than some of the other hot chicken places I've been to. It definitely had a chili powder overtone. I think I got medium spice. It was good, just not what I was expecting. The pickles were crunchy, the sauce was tasty, the fries were crisp, and the chicken was really good. I have no complaints. Personally, I don't know if I loved the chili powder overtones but I would definitely go back and try some of their other items, maybe one of their Sammies. The flavor profile is just my opinion. read more

My first and last time trying their chicken. It lacked flavor despite all the seasoning. I was surprised of the price and even more disappointed of the food. Service was good though. read more

Spicy Lover to go spot! Very Very HOT chicken! Went here twice already! The service is wonderful. If you are first time customer, they will explain the whole menu to you. Staffs are very helpful and friendly. The restaurant has enough seat for you to dine in with your friends and family. I ordered the $6.99 10-piece chicken bites. It came with Dave sauce, slide of breads, pickles. Fried Chicken texture is great, crispy outside and juicy inside (if you eat it immediately). You can choose the spicy level (7 levels) you want, ranging from no spice to reaper! I recommend start with Hot and go up or down to fit your spicy level. Warning: Reaper is really really spicy! read more

What a great experience and food! When we entered we were greeted promptly and the cashier ran us through the menu with recommendations. The food was cooked to order and came out fresh and hot. It was very tasty! The restaurant was clean and welcoming, albeit the music was a bit loud to have conversation at the table. But would highly recommend a visit and the food! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - The number 4 mild is a hit - Chicken Shop Near Me - Schererville, Indiana

So my fiancé and I stumbled upon this place, kind of by accident last week. I will say I really love their food. The first time we went we tried the six piece cauliflower bites with medium seasoning. First off those cauliflower bites are my favorite thing they sell. I honestly might like it a little bit more than the chicken. The medium seasoning is phenomenal. There's so much flavor and you honestly don't even need the Dave's sauce that comes on the side. My fiancé loved the cauliflower single slider. That was also his favorite thing. He rated it a 10/10. We went back again this week and tried the medium chicken sliders. Those also had so much flavor and were excellent. The mac & cheese is also pretty good for being a fast food kind of mac & cheese. There is a lot of flavor and it seems to be popular. The workers are very friendly and they keep the place clean. There's plenty of parking, they share a parking lot with few different places. read more

This place is so filthy. Staff is not welcoming nor friendly. The bathroom is decent, but the entire place feels sticky and dirty and grimy, especially doors windows and seats. read more

Yes. The chicken is hot. However, it's not the kind of hot that just "comes-and-goes'. It sticks around with you for a while. But it's the flavoring with the juiciest chicken that makes you enjoy every flaming-hot bite. It's the kind of sweat that bead up behind your neck. Most awesome. read more

I ordered delivery via Grubhub...I ordered the two tender meal with fries. I added cheese sauce, but it was forgotten in the order. The first thing I noticed was there weren't a lot of french fries and the chicken tenders were very RED. I ordered the heat as "medium." It ended up being hot still. They put the chicken on pieces of white bread. I don't understand that; I would have preferred the bread to have been toasted a little bit instead of just dry bread. The chicken was juicy and cooked through. I wasn't sure of the spice/coating on the chicken. It tasted artificial to me but wasn't terrible. It includes some sauce, which is similar to another chicken fast food restaurant - so it was decent! The fries were good too because they were covered with seasoning. It would have been nice to have a side of cole slaw or greens. This was not a very filling lunch. But it wasn't terrible either. I tried Byrd's restaurant down the street, and I believe Dave's is a notch above. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Two tender meal - medium. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Schererville, Indiana

Ate too fast to take a pic. Dined in and got the hot tenders, sandwich, fries and the blue powerade slushee w cream. Hot dry rub is amazing, fries are perfect, great slaw & the dipping sauce complements it all perfectly. I like spicy & the hot rub was good for the Sammy. I would probably do the mild for tenders alone next time tho. Great service and looks clean inside. Smalllll wait but the place was busy & you can preorder online for pickup! read more

Food is great service is normally fast. If you don't like loud music then this ain't the place for you. Avoid the Reaper level heat! I love hot food ghost pepper Carolina reaper are some of my favorites, but this one tore my stomach up for 2 days. Really not worth the discomfort read more

We heard about this place and wanted to check them out. Love the vibe here. Commercial garage wall panels, decent music and the staff were friendly. They offered a nice little variety of slushy drinks along with bottle and fountain drinks. They stick with chicken! That is am indica that they focus on one thing. read more

Finally tried Dave's Hot Chicken. Stopped in for lunch. I had the slider and tender combo (medium). The slider was good but the tender had way too much spice on it and not enough flavor. The fries and dipping sauce were very good. Stick to the sliders. The people working there were very friendly and helpful. The place is brightly colored and clean. There are some good options on the menu. The challenge is our lunch for two with drinks was $35 which seems pretty high for a fast food lunch. read more

So the stars are for the delicious fries and special sauce! The chicken is very low quality with an ridiculous amount of flavor-less seasonings. I've never been more confused in my life! Lol! You can see the seasoning can't taste it! The price is way to high also! read more

All I can say is delicious!!!!! Fun place to meet friends, or to dine with family. I think it's a nice unique catering option as well. I like that they added outdoor seating. My food was hot and fresh, and the service was outstanding as usual. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a friendly associate. She greeted me with a smile, and quickly took my order. I ordered the #3 which consisted of 1 Tender and 1 Slider w/fries. It comes with sliced bread, pickles and Dave's sauce. The slider was served with kale slaw, pickles and Dave's Sauce. I also ordered the delicious cauliflower bites. I did a mild sauce but next time I'm getting the hot. The person who took my order provided me with a recommendation for my next visit. The staff works well as a team to get the orders out. The manager Moni is welcoming and has done a great job of visiting tables during my visits. read more

The food was tasty and the service was excellent. However, the music is too loud; so loud I couldn't hear the person explaining the menu to me. (It was our first visit.) We had to request our table to be cleaned. They were very busy but someone should be in charge of wiping tables down. We will come back but likely do carry out. read more

Heard good things about food so, I decided to try. Opened the door rap music playing super loud, younger employees running around, so just left. Good luck getting customers with employees like that. read more

This place rocks, I walk in and they know my usual order (number 2 hot) great food, great service and cool decor. See you next Thursday

Limited menu... however, that is not necessarily a bad thing. When you're good at something you might as well stick to it. The grandkids heard about it from friends. So, we had to try it. It did not disappoint. Great job! I'm only rating it a three because when I went there the soda fountain was broken. The food was excellent though. read more

The chicken slider is ok, the seasoning isn't really grabbing me and it might have too much put into it.

Great environment, great food and great customer service. We were helped by Sean and he was very kind and very attentive.

Kiara and Sean did a fantastic job at serving us!! The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. They both maintained eye contact really well and treated me and my friend fantastically. Definitely will return!! read more

This place is good...I don't eat a lot of fried food but these tenders are seasoned well and delicious. The fries are really good too. I ordered online through their website...easy peasie...and the order was ready fast. I didn't stay in the dining area but it looked nice. The staff was super nice and helpful. Way better than Byrds up the street...Daves is the way to go. read more

yes please. best hot chicken in town. love the mild chicken sliders the best. Great big portion, enough for 2 meals.

Sooooo good. Chicken was juicy, the flavors were powerful. The coleslaw sweetness combined with the flavor of the chicken made for a great salty/sweet combo. read more

Very good chicken tenders and sandwiches, this place a must try it's a little on the higher side price wise but it's worth it

The chicken sandwich was delicious. I think it's the best in the area. The service was very good as well. High recommendation.

Ordered online on a Saturday and it was literally done in 4 minutes. Everything was delicious. I got one hot that made my head sweat a little (in the best way possible) and one medium. I'll be back for the reaper! read more
