    Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries
    Nathan E.

    I was a little bit underwhelmed by the spice level. Ideally, it would've been a little bit hotter, but the flavor was really good, so I'm certainly not complaining. I'm sure I'll be back and now I know to go hotter than I do at other similar chicken places. Special shoutout to Emily--she was so super friendly and helpful and made our experience better than it would've been without such a kind soul working the register.

    When I first heard about this popular Los Angeles hot chicken sandwich restaurant opening near me, I couldn't wait to try it! Now they have many locations around the Portland metro area, but this was the very first spot to open. Although I've had great food and experiences at multiple locations, there's something so consistently good about this spot. Everything I get here is perfectly seasoned and cooked. This time I had the one slider with fries. Maybe it was because I hadn't gone out to eat in over a week (due to the snow/ice storm), but this meal was so satisfying. I'm a sucker for dry rub chicken because it balances well with their special sauce. Also it's a huge plus that it is Halal-certified with their certification on display by the wall next to the kitchen. I hope this place continues to be awesome and amazing!

    Chicken was tender and juicy and fries were good too. The seasoning has a hint of sweetness to it. Got the Oreo milkshake and "ice cream" part was too melty and kinda separating? Ordering was straightforward in person or order online, there isn't a phone in option. They give a buzzer for when the food is ready.

    Had the slider. It was very good. Fast service and good tunes on the radio. I'm on a diet, so this was the wrong place to come. Thought they would have grilled. All fried. So I went off diet. Will I be back, maybe, but not till I'm over the dirt.

    Free slider false advertising

    On 10/23/25, Dave's Hot Chicken announced a promotion offering everyone a free slider. I have attached a copy of the promo so you can see that it does not specify any restrictions about the type of slider. However, after waiting in the long line, I was informed that it does not apply to the cauli (vegetarian) slider, even though that is actually cheaper than the regular slider. I guess DHC discriminates against vegetarians, Sikhs, and anyone else who cares about animal rights (or truth in advertising for that matter).

    If you do one thing, do it well. Dave knows how to fry chicken. The spice levels are good. Started with a medium, and I think it was a little mild. I don't know how they have 3 spice levels under it. Other spicy chicken chains try to challenge people who like really spicy food. Not here. You won't need to sign a waiver to eat their spiceest chicken--and I don't want to. The hot and one above was good for me, and I did a lot of sweating.

    #Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries Medium&Hot

    I love Dave's! I love spicy fried chicken! This place is always good to me when I come in on a work trip. Their military discount is the best I've ever seen. The staff are very attentive and the service is excellent. I haven't been brave enough to try the reaper. I've had mild, medium, hot and extra hot. The #2 is my go to with top loaded fries.

    Okay sandwich, gross cheese on fries and a "milkshake" that is just soft-serve ice cream.

    Goods food , portions sizes are big. For it being a chain restaurant solid spot. Little on the higher $$ but what isn't these days.

    Minimal menu and very expensive. If spicy chicken tenders is what you need and you got the bucks go for it. Otherwise look somewhere else.

I had the penne with meatballs and I'm happy to rate this 5-star delicious! The meatballs were a combo of ground meat and sausage. The sauce was rich, meaty and deeply cooked - no quick simmer here. My husband (who is an expert chicken Marsala taster) loved this dish as well. It's often served as a whole breast fillet alongside potatoes but this one came as medallions served over pasta, broccoli, mushrooms, and a yummy sauce. The service was friendly and just attentive enough and, though the front dining area is a bit basic, it was clean and comfortable for us. Adding this to our regular rotation. We'll be back.

Thick, luscious crust, fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, basil. We ordered from the car. THIS is what we got. Absolutely unrecognizable as compared to the picture online. Barely cooked cherry tomatoes? Not at all fresh mozzarella. Thin, greasy crust. It was terrible. We tried a fried ravioli, which was also greasy and not great. I was so disappointed. We are HUGE pizza fans and this is one of our top five worst pizzas. We had such high hopes.
