    This is a fun spot if you're seeking flavorful chicken and good vibes. I ordered the 2 tender meal and have to say I was impressed with the level of flavor and the tenderness of the chicken. Also the pickles were so good! Not a fan of the plain white bread they serve the tenders on, but overall the tenders, fries and pickles delivered just the right amount of savory/salty goodness. Staff was friendly and very chill even though they were having computer issues when we stopped in. The inside decor is covered in bright graffiti type murals which enhances the upbeat atmosphere. There's also a very cute little patio in the front that I can see being packed during the summer. Definitely worth a try stop if you're in the area!

    In town visiting a friend in Fort Collins, we usually go to Music City for hot chicken, which is also very good, but we saw that Dave's Hot Chicken opened up so we went there! I've had Dave's once before in Denver, and remember it being delicious. The Fort Collins location did not disappoint! My friend and I both ordered the two piece tender meal with hot tenders, and an extra side of mac and cheese and kale slaw. With drinks, all of this for two people was under $40 which is decent! The service was pretty quick, and the food was obviously very fresh. They offered additional dipping sauce without any extra charge or hassle. The heat level of hot is perfect, it is a true HOT (not mild, not burn your face off, perfect amount of heat). Goes great with pickles, the dipping sauce, honey, or even just alone. The size of the tenders is also a bonus, they are huge. The mac and cheese is super tasty, not a dry mac, and the kale slaw is perfectly seasoned (not sweet flavored as some slaws tend to be). Fries are decent, not the star but they're alright. The location has plenty of seating and the staff were nice, attentive and offered to take our empty trays for us and bring boxes for leftovers. Happy to see more Dave's Hot Chicken locations opening up in CO!

    I've only been here once before and while I don't like supporting chains, this one is worth it! We stood in a long line that breezed through very quickly and placed our orders at the register - two mild tenders for the husband, a single HOT slider (these sliders are basically regular sized sandwiches) for me. My husband grabbed a beer (they have four offerings on tap) and I snagged a cup for water. After only a few minutes, our buzzer went off, we picked up our food and headed to the large patio out front overlooking College. They are NOT messing around with hot! I'd heard that "it wasn't that hot" from others, but while I think I'm good with spice, this one got me. I drank more water than I think I ever have during a meal. Believe it or not, I will absolutely be getting this level of delicious pain again (albeit with some mac 'n cheese to tame the flame) - it was mind bogglingly delicious! The portions were huge and the prices were surprisingly low for the quantity and quality of food we got. The mild tenders were fantastic as well! They were able to get all of the flavor without the brutal spice, and the Dave's sauce was a fantastic accompaniment to both dishes.

    Chicken is high priced and dry. To be truthful I would rather do Canes and Hate Chicken.

    Love this place and will be thinking about it on our next trip through town. Wow! What a vibe!…read more Things were picking up by the time we got there for lunch. We were greeted by a really nice blonde girl that showed us our seats. She was down to earth and was just beaming with great vibes. Then we got Matt. As if the experience wasn't already great from hanging out with friends, Matt invited us with an amount of aloha that is only found in Hawaii! We ordered chips and onion dip. The ramekin that the onion dip came with was really small compared to the amount of chips we received. It was delicious! Maybe substitute toasted bread next time? I ordered the poke and that was outstanding! It came with a creamy ginger dip that tied things together. For being landlocked and in the mountains, this is a dish I will remember! Matt also brought out a Hong Kong sriacha that definitely elevated everything. The reggae (music), positive vibes, and down to earth feel was a great way to end our trip before getting back to the grind. What a place! The scenery speaks for itself too and the staff is top notch!

For entrees, we selected carnivore and sweet potato gnocchi. One major thing I liked about their dishes is the variety of vegetables within the soup and entrees. Carnivore had freshly sautéed broccoli, and Gnocchi had zucchini, onions, and cauliflowers. It makes the whole meal feel more healthy and balanced. We finished our meal with lady bird bread pudding. Overall the service was great and welcoming. Highly recommend! PS. They also offer to send out a postcard for you. I enjoyed writing the postcard in the restaurant!

We stopped by based on the good reviews and the reasonably priced menu. I do know we had the best food, service and were more than pleased with the food, as this is a tourist town and expectations aren't usually met in a place where tours travel. Locals came in and you could tell they knew the owners and this was their go to restaurant! That is always a good sign! The food was served quickly and all fresh and delicious! The naan was the best I have ever eaten. Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag Panneer were plenty for the 3 of us in our group and we all savoured the flavors! We also loved the vegetable samosas! Sorry no pics, they were immediately inhaled when placed on the table! I enjoyed a mango lemonade that was really sweet and I would order it again!

Best tomato soup on the planet accompanied by fresh, perfectly crusty bread. This location is my third favorite. First is Fort Collins, CO and Chicago, IL is second. It never disappoints and this location is consistent - always a great meal with service to match the food quality. Top Notch. Fresh, simple and delicious. Excellent service and a splendid wine selection. You can't go wrong I've had everything on the menu and truly love it all. Crisp ambiance, beautifully lit with a relaxed feel. Late lunch/early dinner recommended as parking in Boulder can be a drag, especially in this area.

    So many Yelpers raved about the carrots here so I knew I had to try it myself and boy was everyone…read moreright! It was honestly some of the best tasting, perfectly charred carrots I've ever had. Even though our table shared a variety of dishes, which included the ceviche, gnocchi, rigatoni, mussels, the carrots were still #1! We also had their special tomahawk steak which was cooked fantastically and to our liking (medium rare). Great service too and our server was super helpful in recommendations for both food and drinks. However, everything was definitely quite pricey for what we got. Though every ounce of food was delicious and top quality, the meal was definitely a splurge and more of a once-in-awhile treat.
