Dave's Hot Chicken was really good. The chicken was juicy, crispy, and had a lot of flavor. The fries were crunchy too and seasoned really well. I wasn't expecting them to be that good honestly. The staff was really nice and helpful the whole time. Everything came out fresh and the place had a good vibe. Definitely 5 stars from me--I'll be back. read more

@brett I did submit feedback to dhcfeesback.com but never heard back from anyone I even left my phone number and email. Dave's RAW chicken...I have been waiting for corporate or the store manager to contact me regarding our experience but no one has. Hopefully this will save someone some trouble. The other 1 star reviews are right. The chicken is perfume-y and the fries are not standout-ish in any way. The meals do not come with a drink. Both our chicken had raw parts almost as if the chicken was frozen and they just put it in a fryer and called it a day. read more

We gave this place another chance a little while ago. It was the same thing, employee taking our order acting like we are bothering him, lukewarm food, and just not worth the hassle. I even told the guy that last time we had issues but decided to give another chance. No acknowledgment. Also, I never heard back from dhcfeedback.com so I'm not sure what the point is of telling customers to go there. Oh well, not impressed. For the same money I can go sit down at nice restaurant. read more

We tried Dave's Hot Chicken for dinner and for fast food, this place was good. The service was good and fast. I got a Dave's #1 combo (medium) and my wife got the Top Loaded Fries. The chicken was seasoned well, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I probably should have ordered mine with spice level Hot instead of medium. It had great flavor but just a little spice. The fries were nice and crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. My wife really enjoyed her loaded fries, and added some hot honey sauce. Overall, for a fast food restaurant, this place exceeded our expectations. read more

Solid chicken meal that differed than most chicken tender places I do wish the service and delivery was faster but I recognize it's all cooked to order. The kiosk is user friendly and allows u to personalize 'your way'. At the register you can do the same but it's nice to see the options. read more

Tried the Chandler location of Dave's Hot Chicken and overall it was a really solid experience. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and the medium spice level was just right -- enough heat to be interesting without setting your mouth on fire. The famous Dave's sauce was also delicious and went great on the crinkle cut fries. For our order: * I got 2 sliders with crinkle cut fries * My husband went big with the large top-loaded fries * One kid got a slider, a strip, and mac & cheese * The other got a slider, a strip, and fries * We also grabbed some cauli bites to share * 4 Soft Drinks Everything came out fresh and the whole family enjoyed their meals. The price felt fair for everything we ordered including soft drinks, especially considering the portion sizes. The reason for the 4 stars is that we actually didn't go inside, so I can't really comment on the ambiance or customer service experience. Also, the soda was a little flat and didn't have much flavor, which was a bit of a bummer. But overall it was a great casual family meal with tasty chicken, good spice levels, and satisfying sides. Definitely a spot we'd come back to when the hot chicken craving hits. Overall rating: Great flavor, juicy chicken, and a family-approved meal. read more

Stopped by the Chandler location on West Chandler Blvd recently and left impressed. The staff was genuinely friendly and quick--solid service without any attitude. The chicken tenders were spot-on: really crispy exterior that actually held up, with juicy, tender meat inside and perfect doneness. No complaints there. The french fries were a standout--crisp all the way through and seasoned just right, not overdone or underdone. Easily some of the better fast-casual fries I've had lately. The slider was a nice surprise too. It's a good, generous size--comparable to what you'd get at the big national chains, but noticeably better quality and flavor. Clean spot, good vibe, and everything came out hot. Nothing flashy, just consistently good food done well. Definitely going back, and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area looking for solid hot chicken. read more

This was my first time here and it didn't disappoint! When ordering I got help with some recommendations on spice level and the overall order. I know that is sometimes tough to give that level of service in the drive through but I appreciated it and took all his advice. Medium and mild were perfect, I feel like I could go up in spice a little but I'm happy with these levels. Medium was described as jalapeño level and I'd say that is a good description. My order was a little pricier than I wanted but it was all worth it! I will definitely be back when I am in the area! read more

Amazing flavors and it's classic Dave's! Dive into the decadent and deliciously crunchy flavors of fried chicken. It's the amazing franchise that finally made its way to Chandler, Arizona. You can delight yourself with the exquisitely spicy flavors that will melt your tongue and causes you to start sweating profusely! Beware you have been warning! Chick-fil-A spicy deluxe chicken sandwich has nothing on these flavors! It seems that canes has a new rival in town. Ironically enough, it has taken over where the old KFC used to be! I still remember where the A&W KFC combination took place. Loaded fries are BOMB!!! Crunchy an spicy! Hot hot !& be careful of the afterburn effect!!! Inside decor is super cool! Love that they have a drive thru and mobile ordering! Review written on September 26, 2025 read more

I had the 4 sliders & fries, medium hot. Super tasty with a tiny burn at the end. I'd definitely would go back for more. They lost a star because of the drive thru experience. You're made to wait without any shade in Arizona 112 degree heat. They need some shade for their drive thru cause you're left to bake while your chicken gets fried! read more

YUMMMMM!!!! Very juicy and well-seasoned chicken along with some crispy fries, what more can I ask for?? I showed up at 9:30pm for a late dinner and that place was packed! That's when I know this place is solid! Service was superb. I showed up and lined up at the mobile order pickup line. The staff member asked for my name, saw my confirmation code, gave me my order, I was out, all within a minute! read more

I enjoy eating at Dave's Hot Chicken. I ordered the Dave's #1 combo with an extra tender add-on. The chicken was hot (temperature and spice!), crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. The fries were solid, seasoned just enough to keep things interesting. Service was quick, and everything came out fresh. The spice level was manageable (I went with medium), and the extra tender was a great call, definitely worth it if you're hungry. Overall, a tasty stop for hot chicken lovers. read more

During a trip to In&Out, I saw that this place took over the KFC that used to be here. Finally tried it out last week during my lunch break. Order: Dave's #4 - 1 slider (hot) with fries Side of Kale Slaw Orange Fanta Single Tender (med) x 2 The tenders were for others. They said the chicken was good but it was salty. The rest were mine. The first couple of bites were really good. I love spicy foods so liked that it had a bit of a kick to it. Pickles and kale slaw in the slider were a nice balance. Towards the end of the sandwich, I kinda got sick of eating it. Maybe I'll try the tenders with fries and a cheese sauce next time. The crinkle cut fries were good! read more

Have been wanting to try this place for a while, finally got the chance. Got Meal #3, 1 tender and 1 slider with fries, and loaded fries. I liked the loaded fries a lot. My son thought there was just too much spices on the chicken. We didn't even get the super spicy one. Overall I think it's a bit expensive. Like the meal doesn't include a drink. They charge like $1.20 or something for a Ranch sauce... read more

The food was good, though a bit overpriced in my opinion. The slaw on the chicken sandwich added a nice crunch. We tried the strawberry shake, but it tasted a little off--personally, we prefer In-N-Out's shakes. The staff was friendly and attentive, and I appreciated that they stopped by to check if we needed anything. The decor was also interesting and fun to look at.

My husband and I stopped by right before they closed and I'm so happy we did! We got the chicken bites with hot honey and a crispy chicken sandwich at medium spice. The food was so good. The crispness was on point and the chicken was juicy. The medium spice just gives you a hint of a kick so next time we I'll try the next level. The person that took our order helped recommend the chicken bites and it was fantastic. He was friendly as well! There were a bunch of motorists nearby and kept revving which was annoying but other than that, it's a good area. read more

I ordered lunch here through Uber Eats. The restaurant had the food ready for my driver very quickly. The two-slider meal comes with two (duh) very sizable sliders with a big chicken tender, slaw, pickles and a sauce that's kind of like a thousand island or Russian dressing. I ordered one slider in mild and one in medium but I didn't really notice a difference--not sure if there was an error or they're just pretty similar. The meal came with extra pickles on the side, seasoned fries and more Dave's sauce. I think I was maybe expecting more fries, but the sliders were so big that the meal more than filled me up. The meal does not come with a drink, or at least it didn't through Uber Eats. Overall, the food was pretty tasty and I would eat here again. read more

I visited the Chandler location just a few days after they officially opened in early July. I had never tried Dave's Hot Chicken before. My family wanted to try it, plus I wanted to see what the hype was all about. They took over the old KFC spot in Chandler Village. I think it was a good choice for them as this area is constantly busy. Inside was clean. All of the staff were very patient and courteous. One of them even stopped by our table to see if we needed anything else - sauces, utensils, etc. I got the two tenders and fries combo, which comes with slices of bread and pickles (I opted out of pickles). I love that you can select a different flavor for each tender. Mine were mild and medium. Both were covered in the seasoning and had good flavor. Medium had a nice kick to it. The crinkle fries are also seasoned. They were good, but I'd prefer just salt since the chicken was already full of seasoning. The Dave's sauce had too strong of a mayo flavor for me. Overall the food was pretty good, though the price is a bit steep - $12.29. I had a good experience and appreciate the staff, but I'm not sure that I would come back just given my flavor preference. read more

Elijah at the front was absolutely awesome. Not only is his customer service on fleek, as I was walking my dog from Petsmart to here, he completely escaped from his leash and went running down the street. Luckily, he saw us through the window and immediately ran and caught up to my doodle, returning him back to me. After that, I just had to try Dave's hot chicken. He guides through the spice levels and made sure that it was perfect for us. Will be returning! read more

Tried it for first time. ~$9 for a bland chicken sandwich. I knew u should have just gone to chik fil a. 1/5 BND Scored.

As first timers, we were unsure of what to order. Ended up with some chicken tenders, bites and sliders. The sliders are a lot more than what was shown on TikTok. The bites were delicious and so were the tenders. A bit pricey for what it is but a nice splurge from time to time. Drive thru is pretty slow at this location but the employees are great. I love that they introduce themselves and crack a joke or two. Definitely will be back. read more

The main reason I'm leaving a review here is because the food was exceptionally fresh, the store clean, and the staff super friendly. If you've had Dave's before, you'll know the chicken when fresh is juicy and full of flavor. The fries were also great on the day I visited. Overall, a great experience and I'm glad AZ started getting their own Dave's! read more

I ate here once before on a company outing so when this new one opened we wanted to give it a try. I would say, for what you pay, it's nothing special. The strawberry shake is the same one you can get anywhere else, the chicken "sliders" as they call them are merely a smaller version of everyone else's larger chicken sandwich except it has some hot sauce on it depending on how how you want it. The fries? Eh, to salty in my opinion, maybe it's their "special" seasoning. The Mac & Cheese was good but at the same time, isn't it always? I would say the kid at the intercom and at you window were both pretty good at trying to help me with my order even though we struggled getting on the same page about what we wanted on the sandwiches, lol. We figure it out though. I had gone through the drive-thru so I couldn't really see the inside but looking through the window leaving the drive, it seemed clean enough in there. Anyway, if no one else is open, I would say go for it, otherwise, take your pick of mediocre fast food chicken sandwich places. I would give it about 2 MAYBE 3 stars for the food but 4 MAYBE 5 for the service and the fact that they were open until midnight and actually had chicken. So I'll give it 3 read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - #Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I was craving hot chicken and decided to give this franchise a shot. I ordered the Dave's #2 (two sliders with fries). The sandwiches themselves were delicious and the medium spice level still has a nice kick to it. My only complaint is the sauce, it's probably personal preference but the sauce had a very similar consistency to mayonnaise. Not my preferred texture for a dipping sauce. The fries were average and the portion size was smaller than I was expecting. read more

I've only done the drive thru but I must say all the staff have been super friendly and willing to answer any questions! The chicken is juicy and the flavors are awesome. I will say I prefer the Mac and cheese over the fries, but that's just a preference. Add some honey and it's fantastic. Definitely a new go-to spot for us. read more

About 3 nights ago I ordered two number 4 meals, clearly repeating my request multiple times. The man on the intercom confirmed that I would receive two number 4s, with one being cauliflower. Despite my explicit request not to include a number 1, I received a number 1 and a number 4 instead. The staff appeared slow, as they were primarily engaged in talking and flirting with each other. The wait time was excessive, and my food was not hot upon arrival. Furthermore, the food was extremely disappointing. It was the worst chicken spot I have ever tried. Both the staff and the food quality were subpar. When I informed the staff at the window that my order was incorrect, she simply sat there. She then incorrectly stated that the number 1 and number 4 are the same, which is not true, as the number 4 includes two strips and two slices of bread, while the number 1 does not. Overall, it was a terrible experience. read more

Never been before and wanted to give it a try. I ordered a 2 piece tender combo (not hot flavor) comes with fries, sauce, pickles and 2 pieces of store bought white bread lol. I'm not a huge fan of plain white bread on the side. Would of been better if it had at least been toasted with butter or something. The chicken was decent size but chewy and tough. Fries were good. But for almost $16....I tried it and can move on. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Immediate no for me. I rolled up to Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time, not expecting a lot on the menu but hoping for a reasonable bite. Prices felt a bit steep, but I figured I'd judge after a test run. I ordered a #2 (two sliders, fries and a shake) and I asked them to hold the pickles for $18. What I got: two pieces of Wonder Bread and two large chicken strips. Are we serious? It felt less like a sandwich and more like a snack plate that forgot to show up with actual food. They don't have to worry about me returning -- that was a joke, actually it was insulting. The staff were nice enough, but the overall experience left me cold. If you're into paying premium prices for bread and two strips, hey, have at it. For me, I'll pass. Two stars for the niceness and the attempt, zero for the value. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - The supposed Daves Mini Sliders w/ Fries and Strawberry Shake - Chicken Shop Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Was really craving something like a Nashville hot chicken sandwich and decided to try Dave's as I am usually in the shopping center for other errands and had been eyeing it for a while. The service was speedy and friendly. The menu was very unclear regarding portion size! We ordered multiple items thinking that "sliders" would be small, similar to sliders at other establishments and we were kind of wondering why it was kind of pricey. They were HUGE like full size sandwiches! We ended up not even being able to eat the other dishes we ordered because one slider filled us up! The fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned well. I wasn't really a fan of the seasoning on the chicken because it was very heavy on the cumin, which I like, but was not really anticipating for "hot chicken" and the chicken was soooooooo greasy. They did offer a generous serving pickles on the sandwich and on the side and the sauce was pretty good too. read more

Tried Dave's Hot Chicken on their grand opening--got the #2 chicken tender meal.
