Best time I have ever been in a Dave's hot chicken Maddie was the best employee I have ever experienced my apple tap had been acting up lately and I didn't know if it was going to work it did but she said if it didn't she would pay for me (would give all the stars if I could) read more

Worst customer service ever! Why? Because there was none. You can't call in an order and if you walk in you can't even order with a real person. Then they ask for a tip..? People tip when they receive good service.. right? The prices are wack for what you get and this location need to fix the air conditioning because the restaurant was hotter that sitting outside. read more

Usually not a fan of "fast food" but this deserved a review. Fresh, well prepared and tasty. I can recommend this place read more

Dave's Hot Chicken is my new chicken place. With customizable heat levels and genuinely good vegetarian options, this has become a go-to for me when I'm craving protein. While I am not vegetarian, one of the folks I live with is. I wish more chicken places had a cauliflower option like Dave's does, because it's so easy to get something for everyone in my house when we start getting that spicy craving. 5 words: Dave's Hot Chicken with honey. Just trust me on this one. This spicy, sweet, and perfectly crispy combo is easily addictive and will get you as hooked on Dave's as I've become. While I haven't eaten in a Dave's yet, only ordered take-out through a meal delivery app, they are always super quick and I get my food while the chicken is still hot and fresh. Give this place a shot! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #1: 2 Tenders w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

The gal behind the counter advised me today at 2:50pm if paying by card I have to order on the kiosk. Ordering any special request is impossible on the kiosk. Super disappointing read more

Very very expensive for a combo without a drink Chicken was not better than Chick Fil-A for double the price read more

Very good tenders and fries. Excellent coating chicken tender and moist. Great to see new location in Springfield on Mohawk St. Went through drive thru it was very fast. read more

Tried this chicken spot recently. The food was okay nothing special or memorable, just average. The service was good though, friendly and quick. I'd eat here again if it was convenient, but it's not something I'd go out of my way for or crave. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Daves 10 pc. Dave's Bites w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Came here yesterday & I had to come back to get some more today! Everything is delicious here: nice & crispy chicken that doesn't come apart easily. The Dave's sauce was so good, I had to ask for extra! The paintings/decor in here is also super cool. Danny was wonderful behind the cashier. Thanks Danny! read more

Dave's is one of those spots I usually only go to after being out for the night. They are one of the few places open late in Eugene and is super close to the popular college bars. I can't say how good the food is on a typical day but I do know that their hot tenders are so very scrumptious after consuming 4 shots of tequila and a few amfs. A group of friends and I came the other week around 1:30am and it was still extremely busy. This night we thought it would be best to order an entire platter of tenders and fries because we would save a few dollars and it was definitely one of our better ideas. Even though having an order so large so late must of been a hassle, the staff was so nice and accommodating. read more

Food and service was great this past week when we went in! Tried the mac and cheese for the first time and it was really bland honestly but the chicken was super good! Huge portions, tasty and perfectly cooked. Lots of tables around to sit. read more

They should change the name to daves sweet chicken. I ordered the second from the spiciest and there was no spice at all. Parking in that area was a nightmare. Quality of food was good, just not what I would call hot chicken. read more

Food was fresh, lots of flavor, good portions and the staff were nice and helpful. I got the mild version it's perfect for me. Lots of seasoning but in the best way! Even the fries are seasoned! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Two Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries, mild - Chicken Shop Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Rhetorical ?'s: do you like your chix tender? Do you like friendly staff that always make you feel welcome? Finally, do you want a fair price? If yes (uhh, yeah) then Dave's is the place. Just stopped by the campus location and it once again reaffirmed my belief that we really do have excellent choices here in the valley for eateries. Here's what's next: new location in Springfield off Mohawk due to open, I'm told, in mid May '25. As if I needed a reason for partaking, now it's around the corner. Thanks to Dave and the staff for all of the above...you guys know your stuff! Btw, you can get it mild to nuclear...I've tried the gamut...beware! read more

Wow....this place rocks. We've been hearing about Dave's Hot Chicken for a while now. Tonight, we decided to trek into town to try them out. I can say, We are 100% not disappointed. The chicken is cooked hot ( like, not spicy, just cooked hot) and the taste is to die for. I got two sliders (which are a very good size for being sliders) with hot and extra hot seasoning. I gotta stress, spicy foods to me taste mild(ish) at best, so be forewarned, it's possible the hot and extra hot are out of some peoples taste pallets). The Fries are delicious. My wife really enjoys her mild slider and tender (she could only eat half her meal). The music they were playing was good music. The decor is kind of like modern graffiti style. This is definitely a place to try if you've never had before. And grab the app and earn rewards to get free food! read more

Good value for the price and great customer service. The staff clearly explained how to order for your desired spice level. I would go back for the occasional fried food. The milkshake was good too that we split. read more

I ordered from the 'Feed the Crowd' menu for a business meeting, and since delivery wasn't available for 11:30 AM, I had to pick it up myself. The restaurant really needs to warn customers about the ongoing construction. I ended up having to walk two blocks in the rain carrying two massive bags of food. To make matters worse, no one on-site offered to help me to my car. It was a very disappointing experience and not at all what I expected when ordering for a group. read more

Well, I've been hearing all this noise about Dave's Hot Chicken being the Chik-fil-a killer... I just had to try it myself. Ok... it's good, but comparing it to Chik-fil-a isn't really a good way to think of Dave's. This is a unique product that is quite good. I took the family (5 of us) and the total bill was $80 so not too bad. I had the sliders and as spicy stuff can really go wrong with me... I ordered the mild and the medium spice levels. Not too hot but not boring either. I liked the fries, as crinkle cut fries go they were nicely crunchy and seasoned without being obnoxious. From the time we ordered to the time our food arrived was about 10 minutes. The folks taking orders and getting the food out to customers were all pleasant and friendly. The restaurant itself is colorful and somewhat noisy but not so noisy we couldn't have pleasant conversation at our table. A group of 5 was tight at their tables so more than 5 would probably need to take two tables. I made a special trip to try Dave's Hot Chicken tonight. I probably won't make a special trip again, but if I'm in Eugene and feel like a tasty, reasonably priced, chicken forward dinner I'd go again. Definitely worth a try... I saw a guy eating the hottest spice level... he was sweating and had tears and snot running out of his face... I guess it's spicy. read more

It all starts out on a rainy day where my gf and I both were too tired from work to want to cook today so we decided to look around for a place we haven't eaten at yet. We stumbled on Eugene having a Dave's Hot Chicken. I am sure parking on a non-rainy day would be problematic but that isn't something to be held against Dave's Hot Chicken. We entered and this place was immaculately clean and the staff were quite engaging welcoming us right off the bat. The aroma had both our mouths watering instantly too. The menu is rather simple; my gf ordered a mild slider with fries and I ordered a Hot & and Extra Hot slider with fries. I in retrospect with I would have ordered the Reaper for both my sliders. I barely had any warmth in my lips from the Extra Hot albeit it was super juicy and quite flavorful. As soon as we were done eating I circulated photos to my friends and told them that Dave's Hot Chicken is most certainly a place to check out. We will definitely be back. I was also informed that there will be a Springfield location by Decemeber of 2024. I am sure parking will be easier to manage at the Springfield location. I've seen the videos of people reacting to Dave's Hot Chicken on YT and their reactions are spot on, this is a really good chicken sandwich worthy of repeat trips to Dave's Hot Chicken. read more

I didn't think it would be better than people had said but it was. The 2 slider meal is 2 meals for sure. The mac and cheese was good but nothing out of this world. The fries and kake slaw were amazing! I will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Always really good. Quick too. I usually order to go. Never have a wrong order here. I always get the number 1 with cheese fries read more

My wife and I stopped in for lunch randomly and were greeted with some lovely spicy chicken. The ambiance is fun and funky, great artistic style. The food is excellently flavored even with the spiciness. Highly recommend the chicken sandwiches! read more

Gotta love this hot chicken craze lately. I'm pretty sure I've been to this chain someplace else like Vegas or so bit can't be sure. Anyways, this is a fairly new place in Eugene and it is awesome! I had Dave's Combo #3 which is a tender and a slider with a side. I substituted mac and cheese for the fries. Eileen helped me at the counter and was super nice and helpful. Very friendly. I love the chicken. It was cooked just right and the pickles and white bread complimented the meal nicely. This place had a steady crowd while I ate there so word is getting around. Very large seating indoor and outdoor as well. I'll be back one day! read more

Shoutout Mike. Great service with a smile! Can't say enough good things about the guy. He's the sole reason I keep coming back.

Customer service at this location is top tier! Always on it and very accommodating to large crowds of drunk college kids.

Nailed it!! I ordered for pickup. They said 10 minutes and got there about then. Wait 2 or 3 minutes and they boxed the food. A chicken tender w/fries and a a slider w/fries. Delectable on a chilly night with good fries! Great job to the crew at Dave's read more

Always love my time at this DHC location, staff seems to always have their cool and food tastes fresh and hot. I always go for the 2 slider combo- HOT. Just enough kick to feel something, not too much that you still can taste the chicken/sauce/coleslaw inside. Typically just enough seating inside. Anyone who is looking for a chair always seems to find one though read more

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

This review is solely based on their mac and cheese and fries since that is the only thing I can have as a vegetarian. The mac and cheese is VERY good. The fries are ok. My husband said the chicken was just fine. He's a tough critic though. I wish they had a vegetarian version of their chicken so I can participate in their fun heat scale. I'm always curious about my heat tolerance and it's something I like to test often. I like the vibe of Dave's with all the graffiti and even the rubber chickens they store in a 'break for emergencies' box. I don't know if this will be a location that I will frequent often due to its location right next to the school and their not really being much on the menu for me to choose from. However, the second they get 'chicken' that I could enjoy, I am dropping everything and sprinting to their doors. read more

Mike gave great service and was so nice. I would come here every day if I could haha! Great food! Great people!!!

I know everyone else loves it, but the chicken are seasoned way too sweet! Too salty too, and their wait time is way too long.

Very very very good flavor on the medium and mild, not to much spice, just enough. Would recommend for the great food and great customer service. When I walked in they were keeping it the restaurant clean. 10/10 read more

I ordered the "Reaper" thinking I could handle. Negative! Buggah was too hot for this braddah. Russell was gracious enough to replace my order with a less ambitious spice level, free of charge! Top notch service, wonderful people. Aloha braddah Russell! read more

The chicken taste quite delicious, however, there isn't much difference between the mild and the medium. And the fry sauce was just a little too sweet for me. I would've preferred ranch instead. Nothing personal against fry sauce, but this fry sauce didn't exactly make me sing. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Nice juicy and crispy chicken tenders. Pretty spendy at almost $5 per, but I guess we live in a spendier world now. Think a small/medium chicken breast, not a chicken finger. Even the Medium packs some spice, so start there and push your comfort zone from there. They make you sign a waiver to order the Reaper. It's a dry heat that builds to a pretty good level! (YMMV) I have no idea why they give you a slice of white bread with every tender. Just seems weird. Only 2 reasons I can think of, 1) so you can make the juvenile joke "I got bread at Dave's Chicken" or 2) some kind of Nashville tradition maybe? While totally unnecessary IMHO, it's probably a traditional thing, this gets a pass. My biggest complaint... WTF is with the styrofoam to-go boxes?? Why would anyone still use these over something biodegradable?? I wish the industry would put an end to them altogether! One last thing is if you go for the crinkle cut fries, skip the cheesysauce, it's kinda messy but mainly not very good, and not worth the upcharge. [Edit: Originally gave 3 stars. Found out you can order without bread, online or in-person! You can also swap the fries for slaw for a lower-carb option if you're into that kind of thing. +1 star. Get rid of the styrofoam though!] read more

Pretty good food! and that's coming from someone who isn't a big chicken sandwich fan. The service is sloooooow, but I'm pretty sure they're making the food right then. The restaurant itself is right by the UO campus so it's much more of a grab and go vibe compared to sit down. read more
