First time here. Dave's hot chicken has been open for a while now and I've been wanting to try them. I must say, they were better than expected. Their chickens were not greasy and they have different levels of heat. Some people may be afraid to try them thinking they won't be able to handle the heat. I ordered their hot chicken sandwich with fries at the hot heat level. The fries were seasoned and really good. The chicken had a good flavor. I like spicy food and I think I can go higher than the hot heat level. Service was great. The guy at the counter explained to us the different heat level and made some suggestions of what we should try for a first time there. Casual dining atmosphere and I noticed a lot of on the go pickup orders while we were there. I would dine here again.

Dave's #2: 2 Sliders w/ Fries

Our first time here and it was great! The restaurant is clean and fun. Lots of cool art work on the walls. The food was incredible and huge pieces of chicken. 1 tender here is 2 1/2 of Canes. The lady who took our order was great as well. Service overall for fast food was great. Definitely would come back again.

First time trying this restaurant. Walked in and it was very busy. At first was worried about finding a seat but we did. We ordered the two tenders with fries. I did not get any sauce. My husband had the mild. The chicken was very juicy and the coating was crunching and very tasty. The fries had a coating on them which brought them to life! We ordered and got our order very quickly. The restaurant was clean and colorful. We will definitely go back in the near future! Staff was very nice! Highly recommend Dave's Hot Chicken!!

Food was great never been here before. Got two chicken tenders. That were huge fries were wonderful. The Dave's sauce was spicy but flavorful you can get it many different types of spice and it's rubbed in. I got medium and it was fine. We definitely go hotter next time cool ambience with the music playing. Not cheap but no fast food as these days service was impeccable definitely go back.

Been wanting to try this place out since their grand opening but it is never in our way. Tonight, we made the trip. Totally worth it! 10/10 I was not feeling the heat so I got #4 (chicken slider with coleslaw, fries, and pickle) with "mild" level . It did not disappoint! Don't be fooled by "slider" It is as big as regular chicken sandwhich. However, I wish it was chicken pattie and not 2 pieces of tenders on burger buns. It kept falling apart. The tender was moist and flavorful. Also, best fries in town!!! And the dipping sauce is the party of the show. We came in late on a Sunday night. There were constant people in and out. But our food came out really quick. Maybe less than 15 minutes wait? I will be back.

We actually had a very nice experience today! Came in during lunch rush and got through the order line quickly and got our food fast. Great menu selection and heat options. We were impressed with the freshness and spices, the crispy fries and the quality of the chicken. We will definitely be back and recommend to friends!

One slider with fries

I've stopped in here to pick up dinner, and ordered via DoorDash a few times now, so I think it's fair to say I'm a fan. There was a ton of hype surrounding Dave's when it first opened so I was a bit worried it might be overblown as often new chains that open up in the area are. I'm happy to report though that as unhealthy as this addiction is, I love Dave's Hot Chicken. First things first. When we ordered for the first time we noticed they sell "sliders" I want to let folks who haven't been here yet know that a slider is (at least to me) a full on sandwich here. I find that one slider with fries is more than enough food. I think the first time I ordered I did one slider, one tender, and fries, and I didn't even touch the tender until the next day. Those are also huge BTW. Now onto the food: overall, it's great. The chicken has fantastic flavor, the sauce is better than Cane's, and the fries are tasty. I do think the fries could be a smidge better, but I mean for a fast food place I think they rank pretty high in my book. Some of the reviews are complaining about the price. I honestly don't see that as an issue. Is it more expensive than say, McDonalds? Yes, but it's also a lot higher quality, more filling, and you get more food. DoorDash is fast with Dave's and if you order online and pick up it's even better. The one time I stopped in to get my food on the way home from an event I found the restaurant clean and inviting. I'm honestly not one to dine in at a fast food place often, but this one felt nice enough to be worth the experience. Overall Dave's has become one of my guilty pleasures and I think if you're craving a really great fast food style hot chicken sandwich this is an excellent choice.

Chicken nuggets - Medium- I like a little heat not a lot but these were not spicy at all.
Christy V.

Food was delicious, pricey but what isn't nowadays. Service as good, no issues at all. Restaurant was clean the custodian was maintaining the restaurant as needed. 4 stars due to price.

The sandwiches at Dave's are usually really good. I always get two sliders with cheese. The service can sometimes be slow so we've learned to order ahead and pick it up to go instead. The ambiance is nice and the wall graffiti is fun to look at. The spice levels vary each time we've gotten them. Sometimes the mild is spicy, and other times it's not spicy at all. They usually do a pretty good job with the seasoning but sometimes it's super powdery or overwhelming to the point where you can't eat it because all you get is a mouth full of powder seasoning. For the most part they are consistent with their portion sizes but I've noticed that the flavors and amount of seasoning on the chicken vary each time.

Two slider meal, one medium and one hot.
Dawn C.

It was an OK experience. Our cost for two meals and one drink was $33 so I'm rating them based on that. If we can get a similar meal at a fast food place for $10 less you have to really step it up to make it worthwhile to me. We couldn't tell a difference between the Medium and the Hot chicken. Near the end I think I figured out which of mine was spicier. We came ready for spicy and it didn't deliver. I guess we should have ordered Extra Hot..but the level above that required you to sign a waiver so I figured Hot would be Hot enough. This might be your new favorite place though because though the heat and flavor didn't match my expectations I found the chicken to be juicy and well breaded with crispy coating. The potato buns were soft and fresh. There were extra pickles and their mayo-sauce in the basket. The fries were hot and well seasoned. It was served quickly and there was room enough for a group of friends to come and hang out. The dining room had fun painted murals and ceilings. I think perhaps that like Pizza, we all just have our own particular preferences for chicken.

Hot slider and medium tender with fries.

Tried Dave's Hot Chicken for dinner this week. We must have gone at just the right time, because there was no line and we got our food very quickly. All the front counter help were super friendly. The hot has amazing flavor, and the tenders are so crispy with just the right amount of heat. The medium was good, but I'd get Hot and the extra Hot next time. Definitely put that honey all over your chicken, and they give lots of pickles on the side, huge bonus for me. I didn't get the macaroni and cheese, but I've had it before at a catering and it was delicious. The shakes looked good, but I was too full to try one this time, there's always next time! The atmosphere is fun and casual, only downside is we didn't find the chairs to be comfortable, but that's not important with chicken this good!

Dave's #2
Michael K.

The staffs were friendly, though they did miss my order the first time. It would've been nice if they offered things like honey packets without needing to ask. Overall, the tables were kept clean as well as the bathroom. I liked how there were plenty of parking available. Ended up ordering Dave's #2, which comes with two sliders and fries. I went for the Extra Hot, but it wasn't quite as spicy as I had hoped. That said, compared to traditional Nashville hot chicken, it was still pretty decent. The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, and the pickles added a great touch to the overall flavor. One pleasant surprise was their Kale Slaw. I'm not typically a fan of kale, but using it in the slaw was a nice twist--it tasted great! On the plus side, they're open until 11pm, which makes it a perfect spot for a late-night snack!

Monte' J.

Came out to try the new place, staff is accommodating, lobby is unique and plenty of seating. The line was long, 1 hr from the start to order, food came out pretty quick and was hot. I offered 2 #') 3's and 1 # 4 I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 on flavor portion sizes were great and daves sauce is 5/5 on it's own. I personally had mild which was not spicy at all ( wanted flavor over heat) The fries were 3.5/5 as well decent seasoning good crunch to them as well. If you haven't been come out and give them a try.

In downtown Overland Park, a visit to a hidden gem Hummus & Pita, a Mediterranean restaurant,…read moreproved to be a wonderful experience, highlighted by a leisurely 3-hour lunch with Pam. The food was not only flavorful but also reasonably priced, with a menu full of appetizers, salads, soups, wraps, sandwiches, and desserts. The chicken kebab plate I selected was very flavorful with rice, well-prepared seasoned roasted vegetables and a side of tzatziki sauce. The chicken was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy. The Pistachio Baklava dessert was a delightful conclusion, enjoyed immediately rather than being saved for later with coffee as originally planned. We were greeted as we walked in, and was given a sample of hummus to try . The atmosphere is very quiet, cozy very relaxing place to visit.

I had chicken shawarma which was delicious. However, my friend went with what one of the employees recommended - chicken arayes - and I gotta say I was jealous. Stuffed crispy pita with meat and pomegranate molasses. I hadn't had anything quite like it before and will definitely be ordering that next time.

I went onto DoorDash as I'm known to do in these moments, picked out a pizza from one of our favorite spots, and the total was going to be over $50 to have ONE pizza delivered. Now, I know, we could just go get it, and I know places have to mark up to work with these third party delivery services so I get it. I still love the other places I usually order from, but on this night I just could not stomach that fee. I spent about 20 minutes on the app/internet seeing if I could find a local spot that would deliver to me for a reasonable rate and I found Southside Mafia. I'd heard great things about this local joint so I was honestly excited to check them out, and even more excited that my grand total came to around $35 with tip, which is honestly shocking. Now, it's a bit further away - not TOO far, but they did add on an extra dollar for the distance (fair), and I knew the pizza might not be piping hot (also fair). When it arrived it was still warm, and I'd describe it as a pub style pizza. It's the kind of pizza you'd find in a bar and devour amongst friends and a few beers. To me this means it's cheesy, loaded with toppings, and has a kind of mid crust. IMO it's not the BEST pizza in KC, but I liked it a lot, and loved that it was something a bit different, and extra loved that it was a reasonable rate to have delivered while still supporting a local business in KC. I think the overall pizza is four stars, but the whole experience for me was five stars and I'm sure we will order again sometime.

I am so glad I started this new year right at Shagan's. Ambiance: They have few tables inside this restaurant and I also see this could be a popular pickup option for people. Menu: Staffs are incredibly kind here & you can take all your time in ordering your food because the menu offers a lot of good combo options. They have chaat, appetizers, entree & combo options (both vegetarian and non-vegetarian) My personal favorite is 2 entree combo which comes with jeera rice & bread. Bread can be a plain roti or paratha or naan or garlic/butter naan. You can also request Stuffed parathas for an up charge. What we ordered: - Vada Pav - 2 entree combo plate (Moong dal & Butter paneer) - Mango Lassi Both Moong dal & Butter paneer was served hot - perfect for a cozy/cold night. Spice & masala level was just perfect and I personally don't prefer too much overdose of color or masala in my butter paneer which messes up my gut. Vada pav was great too with a good amount of green sauce/paste (spicy & tangy) Just the perfect way to end the dinner with freshly made mango lassi. :)) Hopefully, will get back again to check out non-vegetarian entree options.
