This place is always delicious and hits the spot, I always get the cauliflower tender and 10 piece cauliflower bites. They are the best of all the cauliflower wings I've tried! The service usually is good enough, they give you your food and make it quickly. Ambiance is nice and they have outdoor seating options with plenty of space inside so that it doesn't feel crowded. read more

Last night the family came in and the food was great. Wife and split two chicken sandwich meal and my daughter got the new trio. We all shared and it was more than enough food. Atmosphere was great but the service was mid. We got in line and the employee said it would be a minute. Well the line was backing up and more employees were just staring at us not helping anyone. About 10 mins later she says oh sorry I forgot. Really you have 6 other people who could have taken our order. Then we our food was ready on the counter I walked up and the gentleman told me I had to wait until another employee helped me. Really man you couldn't just hand me my food. Food is great, service is lacking but all in all I'm glad we got the food we did even though the service put a damper on the evening. read more

It has been a few months since we've eaten here. We decided to stop in for lunch after shopping nearby. The restaurant was clean and staff friendly. Parking can be tricky as the lot is narrow and fills up fast because of all the businesses in the strip mall. We ordered the two slider meal with fries to share. We picked the no spice and mild for the sliders. It took a long time for our food, which was surprising since they weren't too busy at 11:30 on a Saturday. Our sliders were nice and hot, but our fries were lukewarm at best. The sliders were yummy, but fries were disappointing. Overall a decent experience. We left satisfied, but not extremely like last time. Hopefully they'll work on their quality control. Would definitely try again though. read more

My friend and I came here on a Thursday night at 10PM and there were a good amount of folks sitting. The server was friendly and asked us if this is our first time here. Then she proceed to take our order. We ordered the -#3, which is one tender and one slider to share. The interiors is similar to other Dave's location. The food came out in a timely manner and the spiciness of the chicken was no joke! The tenders were moist and the spice was a good level. We will be back in the near future to try out more options. read more

The cashier makayla B is rude as hell with a dumbass attitude when I asked a simple question she seemed like she was trying to rush me when I was ordering she needs to get fired but otherwise good food read more

Friendly service, the only thing that felt a little weird was when paying with the card, I didn't see a skip option. Maybe there was that I missed but I usually prefer to tip with cash after I get my order. I lost the picture I thought I took of my food. But just fyi. The sliders are more like smallish burger bun size and the chicken tender is twice as big. Think triple the size of a slider. Taste was on point too. I'd go back. read more

My food arrived very quickly, the flavor was very good. Service was outstanding! My meal presentation was impressive. Portions are incredibly large, I ordered the two sliders with fries. It is enormous! Personally for me, the seasoning is very heavy, making it unable to taste the chicken. I did order the medium, next time I will give it shot and order light mild. I will be very mindful to ask for unseasoned fries, those two are very heavily seasoned. The chicken is very tender and it is real chicken! I do love how they put the pickles on the side. I absolutely love the fact that they do have outdoor seating!! I will give them another try!! read more

Friendly service, clean restaurant and yummy food! I went for the hot today and really enjoyed it! It was definitely hot but yummy! The sauce, honey and pickles are great compliments to the chicken. read more

Love coming here but next time I think I'll just get it to go. The music was just way too loud. But the restaurant is clean and bright. Our food came out fairly quickly and the employees are always nice, they always give me extra sauce. I got the spicy tender and slider combo with kaleslaw instead of fries. I do enjoy their fries but like to switch it up every once in a while. The chicken was spicy and juicy and I absolutely love putting extra Dave's sauce and honey on my slider. I do wish that they would put a little more slaw on the slider though because mine barely came with any. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - #Dave's #3: 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries hot - Chicken Shop Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

First time there after a concert as the Cascades Amphitheater. There's a large and fun menu to choose from. I'm a pansy and can't handle too much spice, so I was glad to find options for me. I enjoyed the mac and cheese and boneless chicken. We ordered on the kiosk, so I can't say much for the customer service, but it wasn't too long of a wait for the food. The person bagging the food made sure we had all the sauces we needed. Make sure to pack extra napkins! read more

Been coming to Dave's for a couple years now, it's never disappointing! The inside of this Dave's has an unbelievable aura with a warm and friendly inviting atmosphere. The staff is extremely friendly and they work extremely fast on getting your food out as well. Chicken is juicy with a bunch of heat levels depending on what you can handle. PS- Oct 24, free Dave's slider for Drakes Bday!!! read more

Finally got a chance to eat here. I got the single slider, spice level, hot. I got the Mac and cheese as my side. It was the perfect level of spice and hot combined. It was very enjoyable! The Mac and cheese is very creamy. Dave's special sauce is very addictive. I could probably put it on everything. Tons of seating indoor and outdoor. Very clean and lots of parking. When it gets busy you might have to park on the side as the lot gets a lot of business with other restaurants. Extremely friendly and informative staff. She explained everything to me and asked me level, side, drink etc. Her name was Kelly, she was fantastic. Everyone that was working was great and professional. All the workers are very well trained and informed. They gave my son a sticker too. We will be back! read more

Food was great. I love the medium spice on the chicken. The sauce is a good addition as well. The service isn't anything special though. I ordered the Dave's # 3 and paid. The cashier didn't mention that I needed to order a drink separately. It was fairly quiet in there this evening, nice atmosphere. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - #3 Slider with chicken tender and fries. Yumm - Chicken Shop Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Best service amazing food and Steven our server was really helpful and caring recommend

One of the best place for a chicken sandwich. People who love spicy tend to love this place even more. Chicken is tender and it's natural (not processed chicken like most). Love #3 with the slider and add cheese which is an actual cheese slice on super soft bread and pickles. Fries are just ok crinkle fries. Not my favorite kind. Not into the on top shakes. This location isn't as loud as the Seattle location. Plenty of seating and walls painted by local artist in graffiti style. Staff was super helpful in ensuring there were no corn products for my cousin that has an allergy. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

It's nice to have a Dave's hot chicken in Vancouver now. Last time I went even around lunch time it wasn't horribly busy. Service is efficient and the staff is friendly. I personally prefer the sliders over just getting the tenders. Not a huge fan of the plain slice of bread with the tenders. Sauce is good, fries are good, as well as the Mac n cheese. Nothing is super fancy but it is at least good! Chicken is tender and fries are crispy. The pickles are so good, part of my favorite thing there. Fun and funky inside dining and they have a nice large outdoor dining area. It's definitely worth a try! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - One slider and Mac n cheese - Chicken Shop Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Not a fan of the spices used for chicken - though it wasn't bad, just wasn't a taste for my likings. The Mac and Cheese was my favorite and I wish it came with more by far the best in Northwest (taste is just like my ma's and gram's homemade Mac from my childhood). The servers did prepare meal correctly. Love the Napkins just wish there were more as I'm a messy eater:). I had this delivered and I like the packaging, bag, and the fact my food was still hot when arrived. I'll try to update when I make an in-person visit. read more

Had lunch here and I got the mild chicken strips with fries the spice was just right and everything was super crispy and fresh the chicken was juicy and packed with flavor the atmosphere was really cool too made the whole spot feel different in a good way definitely a solid lunch spot I'd go back for sure. read more

Got the dave bites and the tender/slider combo. Everything was super fresh and delicious always slather ours with honey and dip in extra sauce. We ended up with extra hot bites when ordered hot. Nicole and Tara brought us the correct order and were so amazing. Offered us a free milkshake for the mixup. What awesome customer service! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Daves combo 3 - Chicken Shop Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Food was phenomenal!! Best chicken place i've ever had !! The service was great. No issues with my order

This service is outstanding and the food is delicious. The girl named Shay was very helpful and knowledgeable about Dave's. I love the heat. It's just the right amount of fire. the French fries are outstanding. Crunchy every time I come here read more

First, calling this a "chicken shop" is a bit misleading as they only have chicken tenders served a couple different ways. Oh, fries as well. I decided to wait to do a review after eating a second time at Dave's after I ate once at the "tender shop" in Hillsboro a couple years ago. I tried the one in Vancouver and had similarly disappointing results. The chicken itself may be okay (it is "real" chicken" breast), but the coatings they put on it (whether it be mild or hot) are not good. Too much spice, but not necessarily "hot" spice. Think a ton of cumin and other things that make for too much overpowering flavor. The bun, pickles, and kale slaw are also uninspiring. The "Dave's sauce" is mayonnaisy and ketchupy with a little vinegar added. Bleh. I would not return. read more

My favorite chicken sandwich around. Their fries are also perfectly crispy, the fact that they are also crinkle cut is impressive. Their fries kaleslaw is also a great. Ask for Dave sauce and honey for even more flavor, thank me later. The staff is also incredibly nice and friendly, they're always willing to help with any questions. read more

Very helpful and kind. The food is really good and we would definitely come back! There's a word limit so I added an extra sentence

the fries were cold and the chicken was blazing hot and it took 30 minutes for a tender and chicken sandwich. little to no people in the lobby waiting for food as well. the ambiance was alright and the lady was nice read more

Best boneless fried chicken Ever!!!!!!! Flavorful. Great seasoning: you can choose spice level, bursting with taste and a hint of sweet at the end. Crispy, absolutely not over breaded. Yes, worth the hype!!!! Super clean, bright location. Boba and frozen yogurt next door. I'll be back at midnight. read more

This place is amazing- the cauliflower options are soooooo good!!! My favorite vegetarian fast food!

The best chicken in our area. We got the mild chicken sliders. And we got the no spice chicken tenders. They were both really good. They also had an amazing Creamsicle kind of slushy which was super yummy. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - OMG, this was the best chicken sliders I've ever had. So excited that we have this close by our house. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

great service, building is cool, vibes are correct, and they gave me a free shake. Reina deserves a raise.

Don't get me wrong, the food is fantastic! The people are lovely and very helpful! I want to give 5 stars! The spice level is just really inconsistent. We loved our food this first visit last weekend (opening weekend). My husband got hot and I got mild. He was sweating bullets and couldn't be happier about it. We finally found a place with a spice level he was excited about! I even got the app when I was waiting for my food just knowing this is going to be a new place in our rotation for eating out. We just ordered again this weekend using the app. It's really great that they let you pick the spice level per item. We got the meals with slider and tender in each and we split the spice level. I got mild tender and medium slider. The mild really wasn't spicy at all. The medium sadly wasn't either. They both felt suuuuper mild. Husband got hot slider and medium tender. He wasn't feeling the heat at all. I think we either got the wrong spice level this time or he got a hotter one last time. He was really disappointed that it wasn't spicier. We're definitely going back. The food is still juice and tender, the slaw side was great, the Mac n cheese we had the first time was soooo good! I just don't know what to believe when I order my spice next time. read more

food was just ok.... nothing special at all. not that this was Dave's Chickens fault, but there was an actually gun shooting at the restaurant while I was outside eating with my 3 year old daughter. To say the least, I will never go back... read more

To be honest, I do not understand the hype. I ordered the #3. One chicken sandwich and one chicken strip, with crinkle fries and a Coke. The chicken is moist but did I find it tasty? No not at all, nothing special and the coating/batter is where the heat is stored. I opted fir medium and if I ever go again I'll try the hot. Their Dave's sauce is bland and just reminded me if a bad fry sauce. The old Artic Circle had much better. I heard Raising Canes sauce is the best. We will see. The sandwich comes with coleslaw, a chicken strip and 4 big pickles. It was pretty good but not good enough to make a trip back. Fries had a seasoning on them but you wouldn't know it if you didn't see a difference in color. Nice people, loud outdoor patio music and very clean. No line to order on a Thursday at 5pm. Has the new novelty already worn off? read more

Came in Cassie helped us order and gave us a great experience ordering and dining, food was also super amazing 10/10 would come back

Spice can be a little inconsistent at times, however the chicken is always cooked perfect. Fries and sauce are good. Milkshakes are a little over priced but Cinnamon Toast Crunch one is good. read more

The service here is exceptional! Their chicken is good, too and it doesn't have to be "hot". They have a great selection of sauces

Chicken itself might fine. The wet dusting of "seasoning" sucks. No taste. Eaten at Dave's twice, just to make sure id like it. Nope. I wouldn't recommend eating at Dave's read more

This place is going to become a problem for me. I love their chicken sliders and fries!! This place blows Canes away, I mean it's not even close! It's basically $20'for the 2 slider combo, fries and a drink. Not terribly cheap but not horrible for fast food these days. Staff is super friendly, food comes out fast & fresh. Highly recommend! The Hot definitely is Hot....you've been warned. read more

food is amazing here, definitely coming back, great customer service by steven. thank u so much

Friendly service and good flow of getting customers through the line. Food is really warm fresh to order and its yummy. Definitely work checking out. They have a lovely patio! read more
