The place was very clean & was a delight to walk into. The food was great and we really enjoyed the mozzarella sticks! The guy at the counter was helpful in selecting items on the menu and provided exceptional service! Yay! read more

Unfortunately the worst chicken I've ever had. It is thickly coated in seasoning, fried to death. Even the slushie drink my son got was overly sweet and gross. I would not recommend this place. read more

Who would have thought that I would be blown away by Fried Chicken as fast food and fried chicken usually is not part of my diet. We arrived to town a bit late and tried to go to two differences placed and they were closed so ended up here. There were a strong scent of Cummins as we walked in and took me by surprise. I personally don't care much for the spice but since we were hungry and not too many options left I opted in for a single sandwich ( you can get a double) Wow, the crunch, the flavor, the juiciness...overal it was a rave to my family and friends while I was eating and finger licking...yum. So yes Dave's did it and darn good Hot Chicken... Ample outdoor seating as well as indoor...hip vibe. read more

Really loving this place lately. Food is always good. Fairly quick service. Really good service. The guy who took my order tonight was named Jamal and he had a really good energy and friendliness that I liked. I hope they keep it up. I also liked the music they were playing in there. read more

Very good the chiclet bites were tasty and the fries crispy the butt end of the white bread was a little weird but all in all 9/10

I really want to like this place more, but after trying it several times, I feel like I am here for the ambiance and not the food. I always have a great experience as far as customer service and attention go. The ambiance is fantastic and each location has such a great vibe, but the chicken with spice is too gritty, a texture preference in my part. Without the spice, it's lacking flavor. Everything is cooked to perfection, but I want the flavor without the grit. A great place for most people, just not my chicken sandwich of choice. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Single Slider with Cheese - Chicken Shop Near Me - Orem, Utah

It was my first time going, and I got the chicken slider and fries. The chicken was a bit burnt so it was dry. However, I loved that they give the Dave's sauce and honey on the side for me to add on to my sandwich. I've always loved everything with a LOT of sauce so I enjoyed that and thought the sauce and the honey went really well with the spicy chicken. I was disappointed by the fries. The portion was very small and not worth $4. They were crispy but perhaps too crispy -- I prefer the inside to be soft. Since I wasn't very impressed with the food I ordered, I don't think I'd return to this place. read more

I like everything about this spot except my fries were cold. That Sammy though! Piping hot and super flavorful. Heat range from mild to Reaper. The bun is sweet like the Hawaiian rolls... perfect with the spicy chicken. But those fries. I got it to go to checkout the care... meh. Calvin was very good helping with the order process and when there was a line 3 deep, he called for backup. The ice tea is very good... at least the peach was. Nice people, good food,clean... can't ask for more... well, hot fries would have been cool. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken has really solid chicken sandwiches. They're super crispy, but still have a thick piece of chicken, which is the best of both worlds for me. The staff at this location are really nice and service is pretty fast. The space is well decorated in colorful paintings and drawings on the walls. They also have a convenient order status screen right above the drink station so you can keep track of your order. I tried the extra hot previously and wasn't impressed with the spiciness so I got the reaper slider this time. They will have you sign a waiver for the reaper flavor and that should have been my sign right there. The extra hot flavor was honestly a let down. It was not spicy at all, I would say maybe a 5/10 on spice level, so I was expecting the reaper to be all bark and no bite. Boy was I wrong!! I can confirm the reaper lives up to its name. I will say the jump from the extra hot (the level right below the reaper) to the reaper is a bit diabolical. The timid spice level of the extra hot made me think the reaper wouldn't be that spicy at all. Even though the extra hot slider wasn't that spicy I still enjoyed it, but the reaper was painful to eat. After trying the reaper, I will happily take the extra hot slider with zero complaints on the spicy level. The slider itself, spice level aside, is really delicious. The bread is super soft and pillowy and the pickles give the sandwich a perfect refreshing crunch. read more

We have gone before with great service, but this last time we went, I waited over an hour for the food because they forgot to make my order. Then when I got my food it was wrong. They didn't offer any compensation for the over hour wait time for their failure to make my order, and did not bother to check if they made the right thing. The music was also really loud and overstimulating. read more

First time coming here and it did not disappoint! The restaurant was clean and the service was really great too. We didn't have to wait long for our food at all and it was super fresh when it came out. It was a smaller chicken sandwich than other similar restaurants near by. I also wish they used a chicken breast on their sandwiches, and not just one tender, as there was extra bread. However, the flavor was really good. I had the medium heat and it was great. I think next time I would get hot because I wanted more spice. The chicken was tender. The fries were crisp and seasoned well. The sauce they had to dip your fries in was excellent as well. The pickles were some of the best pickles and I loved them. They were so crisp! Good experience and would definitely come back while in the area. I do feel that their competitor in Lehi is the best but this is second place for me! read more

We went back for some tenders and sliders, and were not disappointed. Consistent and delicious. Took some photos this time. We were lucky to get Chill Will helping us again. He's the biz. The medium spice was perfect again, and the new person I brought with us also really enjoyed their slider/tender. We had to wait just a minute or two for a table, but people noticed us and cleaned up and left so we could sit. The are also outside tables available. TIp: Don't worry...the water button on the soda machine _is_ going to pop back out...it just takes a second. PS...I don't know if the review about "uncooked bread" is a joke or not, but it gave me a little chuckle. My bread was toasted, but either way I think I'll ask for no bread in the future (if it's allowed). I don't eat it, and I don't love wasting it. Thanks for another excellent meal. May you live forever, Dave's! read more

Bro if you haven't been to Dave's Hot Chicken - you haven't lived. The choice of spice level makes your chicken absolutely customizable. Don't like spice? They've got chicken for you? Love spice? They've got chicken for you. Dave's has it all. The French fries are so perfectly crisp and seasoned. Whatever the sauce is with the fries is basically to die for. The employees are super knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant and the spice levels - I trust them to never lead me astray. The vibe here is busy because the chicken is to die for. If you know what's good for you, you'll be there soon. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken keeps it simple and does it right. We tried both sliders and tenders the med spice is less than anticipated but I am betting the heat will be packing with the hot on up. The decor is bright and urban; full of energy. The staff was friendly, helpful, kind, and they were killing it. The milkshake was good with more substance than other fast food eateries. Very few places around here are open late, but Dave's is, and they chose a location right across from another late open place. read more

First off I want to praise the general manager of this location. I didn't catch his name, but man he was SO great. This was my first time here, I ordered the top loaded fries, and the manager came to check on me and see how I liked it. I told him it was great but regretted not getting the popular chicken strips. He came back with a free strip for me to try. SO KIND! I will say... the breading of the strip was just not it for me, I got the medium flavor and I think they put too much sugar in the breading. It was oddly sweet. Not what I'm used to but the texture of the chicken was extremely tender. The Dave's sauce was not as good as people hype it up to be in my opinion. Overall I would come back to try different things and just loved my experience due to the general manager! Give the man a raise!! read more

Possibly one of the best chicken tenders I have had. Amazing seasoning and the special sauce is it!

We stopped here for date night after getting out of a late movie since there were not many places still open. I'm so happy we decided to try something new instead of grabbing a burger because the chicken and fries are the chef's kiss! The staff was so kind and explained to us, the most popular items and levels. I ended up going with the mild and my husband got the light mild - I will probably go to medium next time. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the fries came with seasoning on them - which is delicious! The bathroom is super clean and the vibe of this location is great!! read more

Fun atmosphere but the food was subpar. I got a sandwich but the chicken patty ended up being a chicken nugget.

Daves is consistently tickling Jerry's buds. The chicken is seasoned and crispy, buns are soft, and the sauce is good. Probably Sherry and I's favorite hot chicken in Utah. Yep Jerry read more

Clean. Simple menu. Like it. Staff is nice! I am a huge Nashville hot chicken fan. I've had hot chicken all over the country, and I have to admit this is one of my favorite. The chicken was crispy and perfectly cooked, the bun was soft and pillowy, the pickles were nice and crispy, and the slaw and sauce offered a perfect flavor. the french fries were great. The service was really really good as well. I got there at about 11:15 AM and within 10 minutes of arriving there was a line nearly out the door. If you're going to go give it a try be sure to get there early. read more

Service took 30 minutes for my #3 combo, and it was dead when I went around 2:45. I didn't get out of Dave's until 3:15. Food was great as per usual. Service was very disappointing read more

Needed less seasoning and too dry, I needed honey on everything, you guys need to chill on the seasoning.

This place is totally happening and pretty busy, but they get the orders out fast too. The seating is limited but they have inside and outside seating. The staff are very friendly and happy to be there. I know the place is new but it would be cool if they could inform better about the hot levels. The slider was amazing and I highly recommend you add the cheese to it. The cheese fries are also pretty good but the regular fries are great if you don't want to pay extra. The tender was also good but it needs like ranch or something to dip into... it's just a dry rub on a piece of bread and the bread isn't that great. Also, totally add honey to the chicken as it will take the flavor and texture to a whole new level! read more

We were in the area and decided to check out the hype! Off the gate, this place is very fun & urban. It reminded me of the colorful gateway wall. The service was great and staff was very friendly! Service was verrry quick even with them being a full house! The food was great! The chicken was juicy, the fries were crispy & seasoned and the Mac & Cheese was cheesy and creamy! One of the best I've had when it comes to restaurants. The food was pretty good, it mildly fell short when it came to spice. We got the medium spice as recommended by the cashier and it fell on the sweeter side(think sweet & spicy like Thai sweet chili powder/sauce) We were under the impression that the hot was pretty hot so the medium would be a good balance. The meat in the slider was a normal chicken tender so the bread to meat ratio was a bit off. My nephew also got the cheese added to his meal and he advised against it since it didn't mesh well with the medium spice being on the sweeter side. (Please note that these are entirely based on our tastebuds) The pricing is a little pricey and the menu only has 4 meal items but it was great for the experience! For my spicy lovers, go hot or above & hopefully that works out a bit better. read more

This was a tricky one for me- I frequently visit pretty bird so unfortunately I feel like my review is slightly biased based on my love for that. I ordered two chicken strips with melted cheese... it was just ok? Seasoning didn't have a ton of flavor and the actual meat had a few questionable pieces. My husband recently went in Vegas and said the Vegas location was a lot better. It took about 15min for us to get our foot, strange when we counted 22 employees working? Not sure what that was about? But location was perfect and had tons of seating! read more

This is a fun place, high energy, excellent fry puns, and cool decor. With the hype of fried chicken in Utah, I always wonder what new places have to offer. This place adds a new vein to the chicken scene... heat. There are a few places that scratch the surface, but I've never seen one requiring a waiver to order the hottest reaper sauce. I ordered the number four, one slider and fries. I was disappointed that it doesn't come with a drink, if you're going to drop 10 bucks, they should at least throw in a small soda. I was surprised and delighted to find that the slider isn't some small shabby thing, this feels like a chicken sandwich, it filled me up along with the fries. Perfect for one person. I got the mild "sauce" thinking I'd experience some heat but I didn't get a hint of anything, it was an instant regret and I wish there was some sort of sauce besides fry sauce to add to the sandwich. The heat and flavor mostly comes from the breading on the chicken. This is happening in more and more places, I think it's a double edge sword. Fried dough doesn't hold a lot of flavor in itself, so most sandwiches that focus on that are lacking in saucy rich flavor. It does however, create an awesome texture and seems to contain all the moistness. Fries are a classic side, good crunch, some seasoning but not enough really taste without sauce. The fry sauce was really good, my one container was not enough, i went through it fast. Overall, decent bang for your buck, I will come back to move up the heat ladder. read more

Micah was the best! We love this location!! They're really helpful and he's a good boxer

The best chicken sandwich in town! Service was friendly. Seemed well staffed, which is hard to come by these days. Soft buns and chicken was tender. Great flavor, maybe a little heavy on the cumin if you don't like that flavor. I don't usually like crinkle cut fries but these were excellent. The Mac n cheese was just ok. Nothing special. It's the real wet kind, almost soupy. Milk shake was good, but it's thin. I got used to extra thick I guess. The dipping sauce was very good, and I think should come standard on the slider. A little dry otherwise. Will be back! read more

Coming from California to Utah years ago and not having a Dave's Hot Chicken was rough. We were ecstatic when we found out they were opening Utah's first location in Orem! A super cool thing they do is if you sign up for their rewards program on the app, you get a free drink. The service was amazing, the staff were happy to be there and checked in on us and our experience. The restaurant was clean and well kept. There was even a DJ for opening day, and he was playing absolute bops. The food was just as good as I remember. The chicken was super juicy, and the tenders were huge! I would give more than 5 stars if I could; we love you Dave's! Thanks for coming to UT! read more

This place is BUSY! That's a good thing though. I think it's a reflection of how good the food and service is. In the nicest way possible, I felt like I was inside of a laser tag arena once I got inside. The restaurant feels really clean and modern. With so many chicken restaurants around, I wasn't sure where this place would rank on my list. It's comparable to Houston Hot Chicken. If you like a dry rub chicken instead of a saucier one, this place is for you. read more

I went to the grand opening at Dave's Hot Chicken in Orem! We ordered one medium spice slider, two mild spice sliders, fries, kale slaw and a drink for $27. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, the sides were made fresh and tasted great. I'd recommend adding honey and coleslaw to the sliders. Even at their grand opening the time from ordering to getting food was about 10 minutes. They were out of mac n cheese, but it's understandable with them being slammed. Highly recommend! read more

I was looking for a "quick" bite "near me." LOL. This place came up as an option. Reviews kept saying spicy chicken. I love spicy stuff! Heat level ranges from no spice to reaper. I ordered the #4. 1 slider with fries; Extra Hot. Really good and spicy! I ate all of my chicken. I especially liked the cabbage mixture that they put on or with the chicken. There is also honey or Dave's sauce that you can add to your sandwich or fries. The seasoning on the fries also very good. Those were some good fries. Prices reasonable too. They have other sides you can add too. Mac n cheese, coleslaw, loaded fries, etc. I really like this place and when in the area will come again. Also... sort of off subject... but the bathroom and restaurant area was super clean! They say if the bathroom is clean... than normally the food preparing area etc is also clean - something like that. read more
