    The #3
    Gene W.

    The Dave's hot chicken chain has become my favorite of all the franchise fried chicken places. Fun funky atmosphere. Tender, moist, well-seasoned chicken pieces and fantastic crinkle-cut fries. And way up on my factors is great consistency of product quality. That's one variable that other chains have fallen short. We had the #3 which consists of one tender and one slider. At Dave's Hot, the term slider is sort of a misnomer in that the sandwich is pretty good sized. I shared the #3 with my honey for a small but perfectly adequate lunch. Overly seasoned chicken can be too salty but not here. The only reason for 4-stars is lack of value ($14 for a middling sized fast food lunch seems pricey), but maybe in this age of "unaffordability," those are tge "new normal" prices. It'd be nice if Dave's Hot would occasionally have & advertise some deals & specials.

    We were really excited to check out Dave's Hot Chicken now that it's open in Gresham--and it didn't disappoint! My son is a picky eater who usually only likes a few types of chicken nuggets, but he absolutely loved them here. My boyfriend and I shared the sliders basket with medium spice. The sliders, fries, and pickles were all delicious, and the portion was perfect for sharing. While we enjoyed the medium spice for its flavor, it wasn't quite hot enough for our taste, so we'll definitely be trying a hotter level next time. I believe the spice options range from No Spice, Lite Mild, Mild, Medium, Hot, Extra Hot, all the way up to Reaper. A special shoutout to the young woman who took our order--her name started with an "L," and she was amazing. Super friendly, energetic, and honestly provided some of the best customer service we've experienced in a while. She even went around to check on all the tables and brought me a to-go container for our leftovers, which is a rare level of service in a fast-casual spot. She truly deserves recognition--and a raise! We also loved the fun, vibrant decor and colorful murals. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back!

    Food was excellent! The chicken was moist, perfectly cooked, and the spice levels were spot on--medium had just the right kick, while hot had a slow, building heat. The coleslaw was fresh and unique with kale and purple cabbage, and a light dressing that wasn't tangy or sweet. Mac and cheese tasted homemade--creamy, with a perfect, non-gloppy cheese sauce. The sliders had the best meat, bun, and slaw combo, while the #2 sandwich featured a thick, juicy piece of chicken--great if you prefer more meat. The buns were soft, sweet (Hawaiian-style), and held up well. Disappointed by false advertising for the app promotion: we downloaded the app for the "free drink" but didn't receive it when ordering or at pickup. The cashier was unaware of the offer and didn't help or offer a solution. The new Gresham location is perfect for us--closer than Sandy, though we wish it had a drive-thru. It was very busy but service was fast. We ordered via the app, but there was no designated pickup counter. Despite the monitor showing our order was ready, we had to wait in the main line. A clear pickup area would improve the experience. Also, no one verified our order--my husband just gave the name on the screen, and they handed it over. It worked out, but it's easy to imagine someone else claiming an order that's not theirs. Overall, a great experience. The food was amazing and we'll definitely be back. I hope Dave's team addresses the app promotion and pickup process to improve things further. Thank you, Dave's--well done!

    Went here this evening and I was very impressed by the employees service and attentiveness! Not the usual for a fast food place like this... and it was super clean inside! I was also impressed by the number of employees working to crank all the orders out! The dining room wasn't crazy busy, but it appeared that they had a ton of online orders going out. The food was good! Exactly what I'd expect and have had before from Dave's. I was happy that my fries weren't soggy (like a lot of other take-outs) by the time I got home! Everything was still fresh & yummy!

    I got the 10 piece, all the chicken nuggets were small. I was disappointed. The 80's music blasting was not good in my opinion.

    Quite good. I…read moreremember eating here for the first time around 2016 and have always wanted to go back. I got the Pendleton burger, it was as good as I remember, I got tons of fries along with it which was great. It was around 16 dollars, but it's a 2 dollar up charge for fries......yes, they charge you extra for fries....at a burger place...they default to potato chips (cheaper for them). I don't care what your "reasoning" is, charging extra for fries at a burger place is pathetic. In terms of service, can't comment too much since I got takeout, but the women there seemed nice and the place was fairly clean, I couldn't make out any dirty areas. They have a few tables outside, on a nice summer day it would be a nice place for lunch. Parking. There's no real parking for this areas since it's in busy street, so you'll have to park a block or two away most of the time, but it's not a big deal. Overall it's a good place and if I happen to find myself in the area, wanting a burger, I don't see why I wouldn't go there again.

This location is also a bit small so not really suitable for big groups. We came on a Friday for lunch and there's only 1 kiosk so it takes a while for big groups to order and I don't think they have a person starting another order if it gets too busy. They were out of a couple of the drinks for the kids menu, which was okay because there were 2 other options. Not once did the staff interact with us or say hello to us. The wait time for the food was ok but the server basically ran and threw the food at our table without ever saying anything to us. I ordered a pork katsu sandwich and the pork was VERY dry. I also ordered it normal but when she threw it on the table, she mumbled something "it's not spicy" and but there was clearly some red powder on it and looked like my friend's sandwich that she ordered spicy. We went up to ask the girl and she said they accidentally put the powder on but it's not spicy and that was it. She didn't apologize or offer to exchange it. I think it's unacceptable behavior and I was in disbelief. They were also out of ketchup and we had a whole table of French fries with the kids meals... I have been to the other location a few times and the food and service was good as far as I can remember, but this location is horrible. I will never come back again and will tell all my friends and family about my experience. 2/9- I emailed the business owner like he requested but never got a reply. Don't need to tell me to reach out if you don't care to email back. Thanks.

Thought I wouldn't like the slaw because I usually hate coleslaw but it was unlike any American slaw I've ever had. So delicious and unique tasting, and paired with the crunchy katsu was just delicious. The fries could use some more crunch but the sandwich makes up for it.
