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

Man, when a Dave's Hot Chicken craving hits, you gotta scratch that itch! I drove 100 miles round trip for this, and it was totally worth it! I had been craving some Dave's for a few days now, and decided that on Saturday, I would drive down here from Surprise to get lunch. I parked in some shade outside, and walked in. I was immediately greeted by Jocelyn the cashier as well as a few others. Nice touch! I knew what I wanted already, so I didn't have to scan the menu. I went with a #2, Hot, with cheese fries and a drink. Total was right under $20.00. Seems steep, and kind of is, but I will gladly bust out my Andrew Jackson every single day of the week for this chicken! No questions asked! How was it?.............. #2- This is 2 sliders, and I upgraded my fries to cheese fries. So freaking bomb! Dave's sliders are massive. They are more like a full size chicken sandwich at most places, and the good thing about Dave's is that they are pretty consistent with the sizes. At some places when you order tenders or sliders, you always get that one skimp ass piece of chicken. Not here! All their tenders are large, plump and juicy, filled with flavor. I go with Hot and it tingles the lips and makes my nose run just a bit, but it's still super flavorful and not "burn your mouth hot" which I don't enjoy. The cheese fries are delicious! Crinkle cut fries covered with a ton of melted cheese sauce. So good! You get some pickles on the side, and a cup of Dave's sauce as well as a few packets of the stuff, too. Coke products to drink which is awesome...I prefer Coke to Pepsi and had myself quite a few Cherry Cokes. Service was incredibly friendly. Jocelyn the cashier was welcoming and nice as can be. And the lady (didn't catch her name) who was calling out the orders was very friendly, too. The only negative thing I can say about my lunch was that there were quite a few flies chilling on the window in front of me. It's Summer, it's hot, I understand, but you don't really want to be looking at flies swooping down at your meal while trying to eat. Anyways...........besides those flies, everything else was spotless and brand new, including the bathroom. I really wish and hope they expand out to the West Side, soon. Surprise has a ton of space right there on Waddell and the 303 (hint, hint) and we would love one out here! Until then though, when another craving hits, I'm sure I will be back in my car doing the 100 mile trip again. Dave's Hot Chicken is bomb! I'm a huge fan and will always come back! read more

Went in on a Saturday for dinner. Was pretty busy inside but was able to order right away. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. I ordered a hot chicken slider and a extra hot strip with fries. It ran about $16 which I thought was a bit pricy. It took about 10 minutes for the food to arrive but was worth the wait. The chicken was juicy and the spice is a dry rub. The sauce is awesome, similar to Canes or 1000 island. I felt like it wasn't really all that spicy so you may want to order on the hotter side. The crinkle cut fries were on point as well Will return again soon! read more

I tried Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time about a month ago. My first impression when I saw the menu was "what the heck?" I saw two tenders with fries and no drink was just under 12 dollars! I almost backed out of the drive-thru line! I'm glad I didn't. When I received my meal I realized everything was clearly made to order because it was piping hot. The pieces of chicken were very large, very juicy, all white meat, not rubbery in the slightest bit (I'm looking at you right now Cane's) and the mild seasoning added just the right amount of flavor. The fries also had a bit of seasoning on them which made them taste pretty good. I think it might be the same seasoning they use for the mild chicken. I liked the chicken so much I've been back a couple times since that first visit. I even brought my Uncle who is picky about food and he really like it as well. All the staff I have interacted with so far has been friendly and helpful. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Two mild tenders with fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Let's start with the positive. Service was great and food came up quickly. OK here we go, why wouldn't it be, they basically only serve chicken tenders. Tenders are longer and thinner than buns so a slider is half bun only. Chicken is breaded not battered and was over-cooked and dry. The sauce is too sweet, but some may like it. ...WAY EXPENSIVE. I paid $32 for two and get the same at Chick Fil A for HALF the price....and the chicken is tender and juicy and fills the bun. read more

I would highly recommend Dave's hot chick best chicken around really hot though. Service was good and and the inside is very clean and has a cool vibe read more

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

This place definitely hits! I always order between #3 or their #4 because who doesn't want an extra chicken tender with their sandwich? I like spice but not to where I am uncomfortably eating it. So, If you are the same then I recommend the Hot Spice level. You comfortably enjoy the heat. If you want a little more of a kick then the Extra Hot spice level will knock you off your feet! It's also very yummy. Don't forget to order it with cheese, it makes all the difference! 4 stars because I would love it if the chicken had a more crispy bite. The flavor is there but who doesn't like a good crunch to fried chicken! Their fries are the cherry on top. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are always served hot. Nothing beats a fresh batch of fries. Bathroom is clean. Cashiers are always very kind. To say the least, I've been here twice in the last week, ha! Pro Tip: don't order out. Make time to dine in. It does not taste the same when you order out. Fries and chicken get soggy. read more

I have been ordering from this location for over a year now and they're food is always amazing. Today my husband went to order their collab meal with the game monster hunter wilds, when he ordered, the lady at the drive thru had no idea what he was talking about and kept asking him to repeat himself. He then had to order it online and when he went up to the window to pay the lady was not friendly and just handed him his food. The meal is advertised online, even DoorDash has it labeled as the "monster hunter meal". It comes with 2 chicken tenders with cheese on it and fries. You're also supposed to get a card with codes on it to redeem in the game, which my husband was not given. Very disappointed with the execution of this collab, and the customer service. The lady didn't even bother to ask another coworker, my husband was very embarrassed since she made him seem like an idiot. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - The monster hunter wilds meal - Chicken Shop Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Really simple and exactly what I'm looking for in a hot chicken spot. "Slider" (which was plenty big) comes with slaw, pickles, and their sauce, all making for a perfect bite. I went with the "extra hot" which was really good with the sweet/sour on the slider, but when eating the tender alone you can definitely taste the spice. While it isn't super hot, my mouth was feeling it even after leaving the restaurant. Staff was friendly, food came out fast, and I thought it was really well priced for what you get. Tip: only have their spread sauce, ketchup, and honey packs. read more

Checked out this place for the first time and it didn't disappoint. The chicken was crunchy and crispy and my husband got the hottest flavor they had and it had him crying lol. It was busy the time we went so it's best to get there early before the crowd. Will try again. read more

I just went through the drive-thru and experienced the worst service ever. We got our food, and I asked for more napkins because the employee only gave us one napkin and some honey. She completely ignored us and closed the window. We waited for a bit, and when she finally came back, I asked again for more napkins and honey. She responded really rudely and even made a face at us. I've never experienced something like this until today at Dave's. Overall, their food is always great, but they really need to improve their customer service. I didn't catch the employee's name, but she had pink or purple hair. read more

The food was amazing, I love the great service from the moment you walk in the door. The ambiance of Dave's is super relaxed and welcoming! I got myself the slider and a tender with fries and a coke on the side. I also got myself a chocolate shake to take home which was super yummy. Juiciest chicken ever, I kept saying how it was the best chicken I ever had.. it was like the freshest chicken. Melt in your mouth and if I could've ate more I would've. I will definitely be back, and will recommend Dave's. read more

First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and certainly not my last. We arrived late afternoon on a Saturday and though surprised there wasn't a line, it did get really busy once we ordered. Love that you can choose your level of spiciness. Never thought to add honey to a spicy chicken sandwich, but it was so good. There was plenty of seating indoor and outdoor on their patio area. This location offered a free soda or milkshake when you check in on Yelp or leave a google review. read more

The tenders were crispy and juicy! They're pretty big and #4 with 1 slider would've been good enough but I got the #1. My husband got the #2 and Reaper heat which they made him sign a waiver. He ate it all but was dying lol The sauce that comes with it, to me was bland and I'm the tender is good enough to eat without it. The lady at the register must've been having a day but everyone else was very nice. Place was clean and nice outdoor sitting. read more

Wonderful food and great cashier super sweet think her name was Fernanda loves everything about the place

To me, when you come to a new place and a new concept, taste samples should be available upon request. I ask Ptool (our order taker) if sample of the mac & cheese were available as i can be very pick about my M&C. Ptool asked another worker who went in the back to ask if they did and when the other worker came back she told in a what are you crazy attitude. So i didnt get any M&C. Now I know its not much of a lost sale for them, but it sure would make me think twice about coming back. Especially since they then lost our order and after wait patiently for about 25 minutes my daughter said for fast food it taking a long time She went up front and was told they didnt know what happened. it tokk them another 7 min to get the food to us. The food itself was ok, but for the price of the chicken slider, I expected better. Frys were hot and tasty, and enjoyed these way more than the chicken. I did give the 3 stars because the order take Ptool was very friendly, but would have only given 1 star if not for the frys and Ptool read more

Place is nice and clean. The staff was friendly and conversational. Their menu is super simple which is great. The tenders and fries were freshly made, so it was nice to have popping hot food. I compared it to the competition across the street and Dave's Hot Chicken will be my go to place. The size of the tenders, the availability to pick out how spicy makes the difference. The pickles are great as well. read more

Dave's is the California chain that has tried to make a bid at commericializing the Nashville hot chicken flavor that has become the spicy alternative to Southern fried chicken. The chicken at Dave's is nicely cooked, and spice is both reminiscent of true Nashville hot chicken spice and yet adds a unique sweet twist. The pricing is reasonable, and the theme of the chicken shop is clearly urban culture. All that, with decent chicken, and Dave's still comes in a distant 3rd in Phoenix metro area for Nashville hot chicken flavor. The new Dave's hot chicken location in Gilbert AZ is located on the south east corner of Stapley and Baseline Rd. Its recent opening has both shrunk the lines at nearby chicken houses "Canes" and "Chick Fil A" and tried the patience of the block long line of cars that wait for a taste of Dave's. I've made 2 visits to Dave's in 3 days, and each time the wait of 20 minutes for dining in was worth the delay. The flavor of Dave's Hot Chicken includes a dry spice that is cooked nicely into the chicken breast tenders that they serve. But they are serving tenders, not the bone-in whole or quarter chicken breasts as the traditional Nashville hot chicken purists will know. The spice is dry applied before being deep fried and isn't dusted on post cooking, as is evident from the fact it cooks into the skin and fat. The crust of the chicken skin is very nice. But aside from the spice one can also taste sweet sugar. Dave's has blended in sort of sweet glaze into the spice, which is actually kind of unique for Nashville hot chicken. I personally don't want the tinge of sweet, but it is easy to see why so many people get addicted to Dave's.. sugar does that to you. The spice levels at Dave's are not at all that hot. I tried medium, all the way up to Reaper. The highest spice level at Dave's os thr equivalent of a true Nashville hot chicken medium spice. Dave's is clearly playing to the public penchant for moderate heat and topping it off with a little sweet. If you intend on trying to get a burn from Dave's, you may be disappointed. Still the flavor is good, and the chicken is cooked nicely. The prices, quantity of the tenders, and size of each tender tell a story of a good stab at commercializing Nashville hot chicken, but surrendering to small serving sizes, and watered down spices level to do so. I don't begrudge Dave's for their approach, but I won't go there to get the best hot chicken in Phoenix metro area- that crown still sits on the Crazi's Hot Chicken counter (with Monroe's come in a distant 2nd place). Still Dave's is worth eating if it saves the drive. And it is the nicest facility of all three to eat in, with its plentiful seating and moderated music levels. I will return to Dave's, but not as often as Crazi's. read more

Was told this place was amazing! So we drove straight over!!! And we weren't disappointed!! We all ordered the #4 Two were hot and Two were extra hot.. everything was so so delicious, the spice on the sandwiches were great, seasoning on the fries were good and their special dipping sauce was great too!! It's nice to go into a place that has great food, friendly employees and the atmosphere was so nice. There is a nice lively up to date vibe in Dave's! So if your looking for a gray spicy chicken spot this is the place to try! read more

I ordered there 2 piece lite mild chicken strips, and fries. when I got them I got 3 pieces which was a surprise, but the covering of the chicken was strange. never seen a dry rub on chicken being severed that way. It stuck to your fingers and everything. It was like eating a dry powder rub. It did not taste very good, dry, I dipped it in the little cup they gave you. I guess it was fry sauce and it made it a bit better. Took what was lefts 2 1/2 pieces home and washed off all the powder coating and it was a lot better, still a bit spicy for lite mild coating. I would not recommend this place to anyone. chicken was moist inside, but I do not get it how people can eat a dry coating on chicken. read more

So I've been to Dave's 3 times now. The quality of the food has been consistent every time. If you like spicy chicken this place is definitely worth a try. It's unique. one of the only hot chicken places around the area . I got medium spice , chicken sandwich was good , crunchy , good level of spice kick and the extra pickles are nice. The fries and Dave's sauce aren't anything too crazy but decent. The tenders are a good size with white meat inside. I've tried a few spice levels and even tried the reaper which was burning my mouth off! Definitely will keep coming back whenever I need some spicy chicken! read more

I'm a native of Nashville, Tennessee and am amazed at the number of hot chicken joints popping up across the country and especially here in the Phoenix area. First off, Dave's is not bad. Not great, but not bad. Nowhere close to say a Hattie B's, Princes or Big Shakes in Music City. Dave's is more in my opinion middle of the road when it comes to serving up hot chicken. The problem I have is that so many of these places don't serve chicken on the bone. I'm telling you folks, hot, spicy chicken on the bone is a completely different experience. As for Dave's tenders they were pretty good. Decent crunch, moist when you cut into it. I had the hot level which is two form the top being Reaper. Spice level was just right for hot. Just on the edge of having tears but not too much so I could still enjoy. Fries were crispy as well. Would really like to see them pair the basket with cole slaw as well which is a Nashville thing because it provides a little cooling if needed. Finally, if you are going to serve "Nashville" type hot chicken teach employees to express a little southern hospitality. It makes a world of difference what a smiling, engaged employee has on the customer experience.
