    #Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries
    Sneha P.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

I didn't have high hopes that mine would come out looking as beautiful as what the website showed though. I placed my order online and walked about 10 mins to the restaurant from my hotel. When I got there I told them I placed the order and they confirmed it was being made and they would bring it out when ready. I grabbed a seat and within a few minutes it came out, piping hot. When I opened the box, it looked AMAZING! Smelled so very appetizing too! The strings of cheese pulling off it when I pulled a slice were abundant too! It tasted GREAT!

We had to circle the block and park 2 blocks away. The food...the Taxi Driver was dry compared to what I had at their other locations. The bread usually has butter on it before being toasted, which gives the entire sandwich a total moistness, which this one was lacking. Overall, it's still the best sandwich chain in the area. Highly recommend.

Most of the highlight was the various types of burgers and fries they had, so my partner and I got two kinds, and we both enjoyed our respective meals. I had the block burger, which was as good as I imagined it to be, with juicy patty cooked to medium and every ingredient needed to make a good burger. The poutine had a lot of beef gravy and cheese curds, which made the dish a comprehensive experience to consume, rather than just fries. The duck duck goose fries were amazing! The duck confit, cheese curds, mayo, gravy, and gooseberry gastrique combination worked super well on top of the fries, because they altogether basically made it a gourmet dish that I had to eat with a fork. Finally, the sloppy nick was seasoned very well, even if we got the vegan version, which used impossible meat instead of ground beef. It was still really great! Hope everyone who visits Omaha gets to try this spot! Their wall has quite a few articles that recognized them as a locally renowned burger joint, and I could see why. Since they can be busy, I would recommend people getting there earlier to secure a good table spot, if dining in.

I also checked out their menu and noticed it was definitely a unique, interesting menu. Upon walking in, there was a line backed up to the door and I waited in it about 15 mins and it didn't move one person, but I used this time to check out the menu and decide what I wanted. After noticing the line not moving and the cashier in heavy discussion with the family that was there placing their order, I felt it might be best to use their online ordering for carryout pickup instead. While doing this, the line moved up once and I suppose that next party had questions too and of course, plenty of time was spent answering those questions. This might seem like good service, but when the line is that long, either have more people there taking orders or use a kiosk for those of us who don't need to ask questions, or remind guests that there are many others in line (probably after the first 5 mins of discussing the menu) and the line needs to move up. After I placed my order, it told me it was accepted and gave me a time range of when to expect my order. I sat down and waited until the end of that range, which was only a few mins, and then went back up to the pick up area to ask about my order. The lady working was very friendly when I explained what I did. She gave me a number and told me she'd bring my order out, she also gave me the drink I pre-ordered. A few mins later, she brought my food out. I looked around to notice that people who were waiting for food prior to me still hadn't gotten their food. I'm not sure if it's always this slow in there or if it was busy because there's a conference in town. Opening the clamshell that my food was in - I noticed a beautiful sandwich and fries. The fries were piping hot and crispy and tasted great. The sandwich looked really nice, but when I went to pick it up, I noticed the entire bottom was soaked in grease and their hot sauce that was on the chicken. So, I fork & knifed this meal. The flavors of all the parts of the sandwich together were nice, just wish I could have picked it up without being a mess. If I ever returned, I'd get something different.

My wife and I both ordered the Everett's #2 with pulled chicken, coleslaw, and BBQ sauce. Everything just worked together perfectly.

It was one of those sandwiches where after the first bite you just look at each other and know you made the right choice. We also ordered the Saucy Rossy wings and they were the perfect heat level for both of us. Not so mild that they're boring and not so hot that you're suffering. Pro tip: get them fried and grilled. The extra texture and flavor are absolutely worth it. My wife is a total Brussels sprouts snob and she was absolutely in love with theirs. The funny part is that I'm usually not much of a Brussels sprouts person, but I kept asking for more off her plate. That alone should tell you how good they were. The fries were okay. Nothing that stole the show, but nothing to complain about either. The service wasn't the best during our visit, but they also had a 30-person table they were dealing with, so it was completely understandable. Even with that, the food was so good that it's already a top 3 meal for my wife. We'll definitely be thinking about those sandwiches, wings, and Brussels sprouts until we're back, and I don't think that'll take very long.
