Love coming here as it's always good and always filling. Price is very good and you get a lot for what you're spending. The chicken is always cooked to perfection. Nice and moist while also being very crispy. We went with the Hot level of spice today and it's was pretty good, will try the next level next time we're in. Service was great, the guy at the counter was friendly and the other staff were helpful with getting extra items. It's always loud when I've been and the seating is a little odd. It's either completely full or there's a weird number of people where you're not sure if you'll be able to fit.

#Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries

Overall, good quality fast food. I got the chicken slider with fries, which were both seasoned very well. The Dave's sauce on the side was also flavorful. They have a lot of different spice levels. I chose hot, but it was a bit much for me even though I regularly eat spicy food. Lines can get long to order at counter, but they seem to move fast. The mac and cheese was pretty plain so I would not get again.

This is a great place for a great chicken sandwich! A casual eatery, but pretty busy most of the times I've gone. Expect to wait at least 10-15 minutes on a weekend day, especially a Sunday. The staff are friendly and quick to take your order and get it out as soon as they're able to. The heat is actually spicy, too! I usually get mild but yesterday got hot and it was indeed hot. The sliders are much more like a full sandwich and the tenders are more like 2 than 1, which is a great thing. My husband and I split a #3 which is a slider, tender, and fries, and both of us were full after the meal. The pricing is pretty average to other casual eateries. I don't love eating in, there's usually minimal tables available and it's so cold inside.

This restaurant is amazing. I eat here often. Very often. My favorite menu item is the spicy bbq saucy bites. I would recommend that everyone try this place. Michael and the team are amazing. They are always friendly and nice. I like to see their smiling faces when I pick up my order.

Tried Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time! We don't have this in Tulsa, OK so I was so excited to try it since moving to Omaha. I was underwhelmed. I think I'm just not a Nashville spice type of gal. I can see why it is so popular though. I got the Dave's #1 mild which came with two tenders and fries. I loved how huge the tenders were. I also loved the batter and how crispy it was. I would've liked the fries to have some other type of seasoning on them instead of the Nashville spice it came with. Wasn't a huge fan of the dipping sauce. The pickles were a great addition. It was quite expensive for fast food. Our total was $30 for the #1 and #4.

I finally made it to Dave's Hot Chicken for lunch today and now I see what the hype has been about. Huge chicken portions, delicious seasoning, customizable spice levels and sides too! I did a to go order online so it was ready when I arrived. By the time I got back to work, everything was still hot and fresh! I went with the #3 to try one of each: A tender and a slider with fries and bread. As others have said, the slider is more like a whole piece of chicken! The kale slaw is a great concept and unique flavor compared to traditional coleslaw. Not as runny as other slaws I've had which I preferred. Pro tip, add the side of honey to boost the flavor of this sandwich! The strip is just that, a plain chicken strip. Utilize their homemade dipping sauce with this one. Think chipotle mayo with a sweeter aftertaste. It was really good! I will definitely be back to try more of Dave's Chicken as soon as I can!

Great flavorful sandwiches, where you can customize the heat level. If you're not a heat lover don't worry, you can get chicken without any hot spice. Also, don't be fooled by the word "slider" on their menu, they are a generous size! I usually opt for the one slider combo, but tried their two finger meal recently and again has plentiful amounts. I really like their kale slaw as a side! Overall, a great addition to the Saddle Creek corridor.

I unfortunately forgot to take pics of my actual food. I ordered the 2 slider combo. Now just fyi, they use the term slider very loosely. This "slider" was a whole regular sized chicken sandwich. Wasn't nothing slider about it. And I had two of them I'm not sure who was supposed to eat all of that. Lol Service was decent. Everyone was friendly. Sandwiches were really good. I'd definitely try them again

Good was very yummy. A bit overpriced, but very yummy. I do not like their signature sauce as much as Chick Fil A or Cane's. I got the medium, but I found that to be pretty mild. I don't have incredible tolerance for spice nor am I a wuss, so I would err on the side of "get spicier." The freshness of the food is comparable to the aforementioned chicken spots though. And it's a dry rub so it is a bit different! Also, for veg-heads, the cauliflower is really good! I swear at first I thought I accidentally was served chicken. The space is a little small for how popular it is. Also, the combo has no drink so watch out.

Dave's Hot Chicken ( Omaha, NE ) I got the medium spice, and I thought it was pretty good, but the spice is more of a rub than a sauce which, in my opinion, would be better as a sauce. I didn't think mine was too spicy, but my boyfriend got hot, and his meal was very spicy. A little pricy, but overall probably a 7.5 for me! The signature sauce reminds me of in-n-out a little and was so good. The space is also painted super cool which I loved! Would recommend trying! I just didn't think it was anything over the top, good if you like chicken with a dry rub but not my favorite. The workers were super nice and we had good service!

Best darn hot chicken in all the land. I was happy with every bite. The drive thru was busy at it was 3pm if that says how sought after this chicken is! Get it!

Finally got a chance to try Dave's hot chicken late one weeknight and I was thoroughly impressed! I was afraid it was going to be insanely hot to I downgraded and only got my chicken medium and in the future I will be getting the hot. Their seasoning almost has a little sweetness to it. It's very good! The chicken was very juicy and tender! Next time I will be getting the sandwich though. I was aware the bread that came with the tenders was just plain white bread. Not toasted or anything. Very good pickles and solid fries. Their dipping sauce is alright. I already want to give it a second try!

Made fresh to order- chicken was fantastic! Great spice, not too much breading. First time here, will definitely be back!

I would akin the…read moremenu and layout to Chipotle or Qdoba, but with better value and healthier, more fresh ingredients. I'm a big fan of rotisserie chicken, so I got it on a plate with rice, beans, and potatoes. They let me pick out two sauces as well, I got the BBQ and spicy garlic and both were wonderful! It was refreshing to walk away from a meal out and feel like I ate a semi-balanced meal (I opted for more carbs than most, but that's a personal preference ). Also I must add that the staff are amazing and kind. I went to put on the lid of my drink and entirely fumbled it, crushing my plastic cup full of lemonade that poured onto the floor and table...in embarrassment, I did what I could to clean, but realized I created a mess that would require more napkins than I could reasonably utilize. I notified the staff, as I apologized, and they were extremely kind and prompt in taking care of it. They made me feel like it was a normal occurrence (though I doubt to that proportion). Even with people like me coming through and making a mess, the establishment felt very clean and well-kept. Much more personality than a chain restaurant. Kudos on the fun chickens as decor!

This was located at Aksarben Village with a bunch of shops and restaurants nearby, but a cute little garden park area across the way. This was a big restaurant and got in less than hour before they closed. Inside is so spacious and had many plants inside for a cozy feel. We opted to take out though so we could eat outside on the picnic tables. The staff was so nice especially as they were gearing up to close down their stations. We ordered a family meal which whole chicken cut up and three sides (rice, potatoes, fries) and four sauces (garlic, chimichurri, bbq, and medium heat). Man, this was so good! The best sauce was really the garlic and medium heat. We will absolutely come back once we're in town again!

The restaurant itself played music and was very very clean!! Food itself was fresh but average. Wheat or white bread are the beginning options. Toasted to them means grilled, whereas a "cold cut" is still toasted bread. It's a good thing to know going into ordering decisions. I ordered the Italian sub and it was ok- I think it would've been better without the grill because the oils from the meat had soaked the bread. Boyfriend, C's Review: Service was prompt and professional. The restaurant itself was very cleaned and organized. Food made fresh although overhyped in my opinion. I ordered the club cold cut and it came out with the bread toasted and made it dry which we now know is their normal. I do not care for toasted sandwiches. With so many other sub sandwich places in Omaha this wouldn't be my go-to. It was nice to finally give this place a try! They do support Down Syndrome Adoption which is amazing and something I did not know before going into the restaurant!!
