This place is pretty good. I got lite mild on one tender and mild on the other. I think mild tastes better and has more flavor. The Dave's sauce is really good. I really enjoyed it. I think I will try medium spice level next time or at least stay with mild. The shakes are ok. Kind of like the ones you get at the buffets. But not bad overall. I would eat here again. read more

The food was cold... We may give them another try but I don't know. the food was also dry. service seemed okay just very busy

employee is very welcoming! definitely recommend. Food and environment are also amazing

The food was amazing this is real Hot Chicken Armando was great he really took the time to explain the menu fantastic customer service

Line can be very long but worth it! Chicken is always great and service just depends on how busy it is. Cashier was really nice, attentive and sweet. I waited maybe around 10 minutes for my food inside for a To go on a busy day. There's also dine in and drive thru. I like that they have lots of tables and chairs outside and inside to sit with small or large groups. Ambiance is nice and spacious enough. I love their chicken because it's delicious and crunchy. I get the medium and hot while my husband gets the extra hot. We've tried Dave's hot chicken only through delivery before and it's my first time coming in person in Gilbert and it was pretty nice. If you're looking for a delicious and crunchy chicken, this place is the perfect place! I love that it comes with fries, slices of bread and pickles for the 2 tender order. I've tried their food so many times because it's sooo good! Highly recommend! read more

Justin and heidi are always great help ! This place is the best spot for chicken tenders and sliders good food! Everything is always nice and hot ! And the place is clean ! read more

I come here a lot because it's so good. But this time I got the reaper tenders thinking it'd be something I could just laugh about but no. It kicked my rear end to Florida and back. Needless to say I got a medium tender as a buffer. The servers are always nice and Donae was super sweet. Always a great place. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Reaper tenders - Chicken Shop Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Good was 10/10 and j rarely trust the chicken from anywhere and it was perfectly cooked

We like Dave's hot chicken. We crave for it at times. Chicken in the tenders and the sliders is very juicy and well cooked. The only downside is it's very oily. Dave's sauce is one of the best. We like spicy food, so we tried Reaper, it's not worth it. Reaper is way too spicy. No wonder they made us sign the waiver. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Hot Box - Tenders - Chicken Shop Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Food was okay. The chicken tasted a bit overbrined or something not tender and juicy. It was dry. And the exterior was soggy. The seasoning was good tho. I didn't really get much sauce along side it. Pickles were the best part. Fries were basic but seasoned. Service was good tho - the food came out quick. Overall... it's probably not my first pick for just under $16 including an added on small coke for a tender and slider meal. read more

Y'all. Was on the Gilbert side of town for some family soccer games and we needed a place to eat. Looked on Yelp what was around us and boy are we happy Dave's Hot Chicken popped up.... We went around lunch time but we had to have just beaten the lunch rush. The employee that took our order was friendly and welcoming and engaged. I appreciated the compliment on my sunglasses too, just makes it feel less robotic when they compliment something about the customer out of ordinary. The dining area was clean and empty when we walked in (but they were packed when we left). The vibrancy of the artwork and painting on the walls was overwhelming but like, in a good way. And they were playin 70's music or something. For sure a vibe. We sat outside (because they have outdoor seating too). I appreciated how often they cleaned and did the rounds to make sure the tables were ready for the next customers to sit. To the food: Chicken is my favorite. All time. I'm a chicken girl. We got the #3 which is a slider and a tender. I'm not a spice gal, but I got the mild flavor. The crunch of the chicken, the soft bun the slider was on, with the sauce and the greens and pickles combo, y'all for real, nothing like it. I'm also a fries connoisseur, and these fries HAD. IT. I don't have anything bad to say. I'm a satisfied happy gal here. Thanks Dave's! read more

Delicious fried chicken sandwiches. The spice levels are legit. This is our go to for a chicken sandwich! read more

Great food, comfortable setting, helpful staff! Looking forward to coming back. It's a surprising twist on chicken strips. The batter is much lighter than others and the sauce the chicken is dipped in is spectacular! We are looking forward to our next visit read more

Sometimes drive 20 minutes just to go here. Definitely recommend this place if you like hot chicken and if you can handle some spice.

Pricing is outrageous for a fast food joint. Way more than Cane's across the street. Especially the new Cauli offerings. $6.69 for one Cauli tender?? Everything is 25-40% overpriced. read more

This restaurant has awesome sauce and fries. Their food is REALLY filling and heavy though, so I always get a #5. It's not on the menu, but it's the smallest food option. Even with that, I can never finish half of it. One thing to consider when going though is that the drive through is unusually slow. I'm sure there's a reason for it, since that's how it is every time. But if you're looking for a quick meal, I'd choose another place. If you're looking for something tasty, heavy, and good, this is a great place! read more

Placed an order through GrubHub and I would definitely eat there again! I had the chicken slider with fries. For the first time, I tried the medium heat due to know knowing how hot the chicken is (was NOT spicy at all). It comes with coleslaw and pickles on the sandwich. Pickles have a good crunch and tang to them. The fries were seasoned well. The bread had a hint of sweetness to it. I also tried the Mac n cheese. It was your typical fast food Mac. Decently priced overall. I do not have opinion about the service or the look of the place; I did not pick up. read more

Absolutely awesome chicken sandwich. Beats the competition out of the water. The menu is simple just like it should be! If you are craving a chicken sandwich this is the place to go!!!! Oh and yeah the fries are great too. Treat yo' self! Go get a chicken sandwich at Dave's! read more

Medium has 0 flavor. Extra spicy is really good and as expected, the hottest spice level is overhyped. It's good, but not really worth eating more than once for the price. read more

I ordered Dave's number one today. I got a medium. It was plenty spicy. The dipping sauce was wonderful and I really like the spice on the fries. I asked for extra pickles they were really terrific. Yum! I thought it was a little pricey for what I got. read more

The food was hot and delicious! I put in my order online and it was ready when I got there. They were busy with a long drive thru line and several people dining in, so I was surprised to see my order was ready when I got there a few minutes early. The employees were helpful and pleasant. It was a great experience! read more

This was my second time at Dave's Hot Chicken and I'm very glad I came back. I first went the day they opened and was not super impressed with the heat level of the chicken and the macaroni and cheese. However this time around, the chicken was spiced perfectly and brought the right amount of heat. The fries are crispy and spiced and the macaroni and cheese was so good. The service was friendly both times and we were greeted and helped pretty much right away. The atmosphere is fine and the prices are okay as well. I got the "hot" level of spice and it was what I would consider a medium, after getting medium the first time and there being next to no heat. I would bump up your spice level for Dave's when you order, but otherwise a really great experience! P.s the dipping sauce is really good too! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - 2 tender basket - $11.99 cant swap the bread for fries unfortunately - Chicken Shop Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Awesome lunch experience! The chicken is so fresh and delicious. I got the tenders medium hot, next time I going even hotter! I love the kale slaw side dish. The place is super clean and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. My new favorite chicken spot! read more

this was always my favorite, then they changed the chicken, it was terrible!! such a strange texture, won't be eating here again, what a bummer read more

Heard a lot about this place so decided to try it. Ordering went alright. Staff not very friendly. Felt like number rather than a customer. When food came out, it was bagged as to go even though the receipt said dine in. The ambiance sucks. Nothing unique identifying this place. Just an open area with tables. Ordered two medium sliders with fries. Chicken was cooked very well, juicy and some flavor. Coleslaw on sandwich was barely noticeable and bland. Fries were good. Their side sauce was nothing to write home about. Tried it once... that will be it. read more

When it's good, it's GOOD! I unfortunately have has inconsistent results here but more good than bad. I love spicy and picked medium the first time, just to be safe, and my wife went bold and went with hot and she regretted it for days. read more

Good chicken. I will be back for more. I guess I need 47 more characters in order for you to see that I recommend this chicken... Just trust me, it's good. read more

Definite place to try if you love chicken. I would recommend the chicken sandwich slider is the best. The tender not so much! The medium is not as hot as I expected. I would go for the hot if you like heat. It was so good I forgot to take the pic. ‍ I do like their special sauce. It kind of reminds me like thousand island dressing? I will be back. The slider is pretty good size not the slider you all be thinking ‍ read more

Muy buen pollo muy crujiente y las papas muy ricas también, buen y rápido servicio súper recomendado

Something different, that's for sure. The hot version is really spicy. If you are not sure, start with mild and work your way up. Had a couple sliders and they are big, one is enough for most people. Spiced fry's top not off. They give you some extra pluckers which are wonderful. Service was quick in the drive through and access in really good versus some other places. Worth a try for something that is not the norm. read more

Great spicy chicken. I like that there are different degrees of heat. You know what is really good? Dave's Hot Chicken!

Service wasn't great, felt like I was being rushed while ordering. Food was good & cooked well. The fries could use a little more seasoning, but overall pretty good spot. read more

Friendly staff quick order the chicken sliders are huge and tasty the sauce is everything here. There's one employee who we always see working he's always there and working hard the bald blk man in the back. He needs a raise or moved up to a different position. He's never unfocused when we're there. read more

Very poor service. Took very long to get your food. They focus more on the drive thru and let the people inside wait very long. You can't even enjoy your drink while you wait because there's no ice. So we had hot drinks to sip on while we waited 45 minutes for th number 1. Very terrible service. read more

A fight broke out at the location I was at, made the food it took about 30 mins for 2 sliders. Food was good though.

The chicken was incredible. The staff was nice and the service good. We enjoyed our evening and will definitely be coming back.

I think I've been searching my whole life for a chicken sandwich just like this and I'm so happy I finally found one. Didn't always have a thing for chicken sandwiches but I've had a couple good ones that now I randomly crave them. Chik-fil-a is not my jam. I'll eat it but I do not understand the hype with it at all and I only eat it because my family loves it so much so I just suck it up for them. Dave's hands down blows them out of the water and makes them look like total trash. We went through the drive-thru which was busy but it went really fast. Everyone inside seemed to be very efficient and quick with getting food out quickly. Along with very friendly. Chicken was perfectly crispy, flavorful and huge to be called a slider! They do justice for the price actually especially with prices of everything right now. The pickles... don't even get me started. They're perfectly crunchy and I LOVE so much how they give you extra on the side! The sauce added on top and on the side for fries was all delicious. Fries we're amazing and crunchy as well and perfectly seasoned. They don't have a kids menu but my girls shared one slider cut in half and still couldn't finish it lol. They are small and don't eat much though. We got them the light mild spice. They thought it was a little spicy. I got medium and it was perfectly medium in my opinion. We took this food home which is 5 miles away and about a 15 minute drive and all the food was still piping hot and crispy which everyone knows crispiness doesn't usually last with to-go food. So pleased because it's hard sometimes for us to take good home for the reason it's not as good once you get home. I was hesitant to try this place because of the mixed reviews but I'm so glad I did and I will definitely be back! I hope my review helps their rating cause they definitely deserve it! read more

We tried Dave's Hot Chicken since we were in the area. The restaurant had a fun vibe with all of the graffiti art! The food was pretty good, we enjoyed the sliders, the flavor of the chicken and texture were great. I also got a side of Mac and it was okay, maybe a little too creamy for my taste (I prefer a little thicker cheese and toasted). Milkshake was awesome, I tried the plain vanilla and I would stop again just for that! Fun fact, you have to sign a waiver if you get the hottest sauce. read more

The vibe was a classic nice restaurant vibe, with very cool art along the walls, the chairs was a nice touch to the entire place. It was a little busy at the moment but the cashier seemed to be too much in a way, too energized and fast talkative making me forget part of my order, which i had to awkwardly go back and get it.., Overall, the Chicken sand-which i ordered was a bit more spicey then what i remeber lite mild being but it was still delicious, My mac n cheese was nice, a bit hot but it was tolerable, Maybe the cashier lady should just calm down a notch... read more
