Got 6 sandwiches and they were al great. Got some fries and 2 Mac and cheese sides. Kids enjoyed the no spice sliders, I got medium and wife got mild- we both loved it but wanted to try a bit spicier. So she went for hot and I went for extra hot , and there definitely was a noticeable increase in spice level. Feel like the difference between medium and hot was pretty big though. The Mac and cheese was nice and gooey, and the fries were nice and crispy while super flavorful. I'd eat here again.

Came in out of curiosity.Leigh was observant to know we have been standing for a while with a blank face, she explained their menu to us.Our orders ended $94 something for 2 shakes;Sodas; mild Dave 1; 2 medium of Dave#3,no spice 10pcs bites.Love that the orders came with labels sticked on the food containers so it will not mix up.The bites were so dry,my kids ended up not eating them,but they love the fries.The shake is a bit pricey for me but everyone loves them.The chicken tenders were big!but is not as spicy we were thinking of.Next time we will try the next level of what we've got.Clean surroundings.Can dine in or out.Theres 3 number coded restrooms.Leigh even went to us to check what we needed,and gave us to go boxes before we left.Service was great!

Hot and non spicy

This is my first time trying this place, since I heard from my friend to give it a try so I come to Roseville location. The store is big with lots of seating. When I walked in, there is one lady in the front counter. She was friendly.Basically I just order in the counter and pick up when is ready. I Read the reviews before decided which one try and decided to try the Hot and the non spicy one for my kid. The food was pretty good, it's hot and good portions since I order the 2. Kids love the fries, at first I thought it will be spicy since I saw the red pepper flakes on the fries, But it's good actually not spicy for the kids to try. I love spicy so the hot flavor one is definitely my favorite. The spice is just good without any sauces already. The store is kind of too warm. They probably have the heater up too high. Imagine eating hot chicken in warm temp. Once we eat quickly we just left. Definitely will be back for the food.

I finally tried Dave's Hot Chicken and ordered the Dave's #1, which comes with two chicken tenders (I chose medium and hot) along with fries. Overall, it was a really solid experience. The fries were deliciously crispy, well-seasoned, and super satisfying. The chicken itself was juicy, tender, and flavorful, which was definitely the highlight of the meal. You can tell they do their chicken well. My only critique is the heat levels. I didn't feel a big difference between the medium and hot, and neither was as spicy as I expected. If you're a spice lover, you might want to go for a higher level. Other than that, everything tasted great, and I'd definitely come back. Juicy chicken, tasty fries, and good overall flavor. Dave's Hot Chicken delivered.

Ordered from my hotel room and it was so good :)

Literally the best chicken sandwich in Roseville! The fries are good, the Mac & cheese is good. The food is always delicious, I've never been disappointed.

First try

Came here today for lunch while in the area to try something new. It is located near In n Out on Fairway. The place is fairly big with a lot of seating. You order at the counter. Not a lot of choices. Fried chicken strips with bun or no bun and fries but you choose your level of heat from none to reaper. I got light mild and hubs got HOT. Girl asked if he was sure about that as a first timer and he said yes. It was Hot but not unbearable. There was different "combos" with fries that I thought were fairly priced until I learned that does not include a drink. We spent $28 for lunch for two. Food arrived very quick. Maybe 6 mins? which worries me how much is pre-cooked. The chicken and the flavor was just okay. Nothing special. And their sauce was mayo with a little buffalo sauce that was so underwhelming. At least Raising Cains has a unique flavor. Food was a 3. I ding a star because BOTH of our orders was wrong! I asked for no slaw and I got slaw. Hubs added french fries. No fries. When he finally got it, they didn't give him any of the 'special' sauce. Very forgettable. I will not be back.

Mac & Cheese

The place itself is clean. Plenty of seating for everyone. We ordered on the kiosk. 4/5 Slider and Fry I enjoyed this. I got mild and the fries were cooked good. My piece of chicken was juicy and the taste was very good. 0/5 Mac and Cheese This was disgusting. No taste and mushy.

Our #1 combos, no drink included

On our way to the gym tonight, we passed Dave's Hot Chicken. These guys are a month new on Fairway Drive in Roseville, so after we burned some calories, we came here for dinner. We pulled into the shopping center with plenty of parking... at least at 10pm, there is plenty of parking. We liked that DHC is open until midnight. That makes good competition for In n Out, lol... when we walked in, we walked up to the kiosk to order our food. They had chicken tender and chicken sandwich options. Sliders, shakes, fries, Mac & cheese, and 7 different levels of heat for their chicken, from no spice up to the reaper level (2 million scoville!!!)! We both ordered the 2 tender combo with fries. It comes with pickles, bread, and a dipping sauce. I started out easy with the mild flavor. My other have got hot. We sat at a table while we waited for our food to be ready. The seating area is huge with bright vibrant colors on the walls. We both got waters and an employee, Jose, cleaned the table for us. He asked if we'd ever been here before. Since we hadn't, he told us he was sure we were going to like it. Our name was called and we walked to the front to get our food. The girl at the counter got us loaded up with sauces like ketchup, Dave's sauce, and honey. First bite was so delicious. The chicken tenders were huge. It was crispy on the outside and super juicy on the inside. I definitely could've handled hotter. When Jose came back to check on us, I told him the chicken was great, but the fries were not hot so they weren't good. He offered to bring us fresh hot fries. Those hot fries were so much better! It was good, delicious, and hot. Dave's sauce was pretty good, too. I would've loved some ranch, lol... Dave's Hot Chicken seemed to have a lot of paprika. I honestly think other chicken tender competitors taste better, but I would definitely order at Dave's Hot Chicken, again! Great juicy, crispy chicken and amazing customer service, thanks to Jose... it's s win win!

I have been dying to try Dave's Hot Chicken since I saw the line out the door at their new Reno location. Finally got the chance today while in Roseville. Nice new location. There was a decent crowd already dining, as well as a decent line waiting to order. They also have 2 kiosk you can order at. We waited about 15 minutes for our order. Nice and hot! I got the #3 and went with extra hot slider and hot tender. Extra hot was so damn good, but after my first sip of soda, the heat got hotter! I was stuffed after the slider so took the tender home. Hours later it was still pretty crunchy and delicious. We also order #2 tenders as mild and they had great flavor without a kick. Perfect for kids or those who don't like spicy foods. The kale slaw in the sliders is a nice touch. They also give extra pickles on the side. They definitely came in handy. Now that Mac n Cheese.... In the words of my teen, was mid. Regrettable decision, and I should have stuck with the fries, as those were better tasting. We will definitely eat at Dave's again, hopefully they open a location near Elk Grove!

Brand new location for Daves Hot Chicken. Clean, neat, well appointed. Kiosk or verbal ordering both available. Chicken focused fast food establishment. Batter has lots of good spices in it without heat. Many heat levels available from "no spice" to Reaper. A number of sides available including mac & cheese. The chicken tenders are HUGE and come with slices of white bread. The tenders come with a side of sauce and pickles. Great alternative for battered chicken!

Chicken sandwich, tender, fries combo, mild.

We went on a rainy Monday around 8pm. It was a ghost town inside although a worker said they are usually slammed on certain days. They close at midnight most week nights and 2am during the weekends. The place was clean and a relaxing place to chill with 60's and 70's music playing. I've never been to any chicken place other than Chik-fil-A because I was under the impression that these places were expensive and lack flavor. I ordered the chicken sandwich, tender and fry combo. The other was a Buffalo chicken mac'n cheese large plate. They were both large enough to share among three people. We ordered the mild and there wasn't any heat but the chicken was very moist and the coating had the right crunch. The employees there were really helpful because it was my first time there. I can see where orders can take a while if that place was super busy. They cook your food to order, so everything is freshly made. They have it where you can order online if you don't want a long wait. Overall a great experience for me and my daughter and would order it with more heat next time.

DoorDash service has been horrible from the start. Our drinks and or shakes never are given to the driver.

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is upbeat and welcoming, and the staff always seems genuinely…read morehappy to be there, which honestly makes a big difference. The chicken is the star of the show, and for good reason. Every time I've ordered, the tenders have been hot, juicy, and perfectly crispy on the outside without being greasy. The Texas toast is buttery and lightly toasted, the crinkle-cut fries are classic and satisfying, and the coleslaw adds a nice, refreshing balance to the meal. And of course, the Cane's Sauce deserves its own shoutout--creamy, tangy, and addictive. I always end up asking for extra. What really stands out at this location next to the Galleria is the consistency and speed. Even during busy hours, the line moves quickly, orders come out accurately if you don't make it complicated for them, and pay by card, and the quality never drops. The dining area is clean and well-maintained, with a fun, casual atmosphere that works whether you're grabbing a quick bite solo or dining with friends. If you're looking for no-frills comfort food done right, Raising Cane's Roseville delivers every single time. Simple menu, excellent service, and food that hits the spot--what more can you ask for? I'll definitely keep coming back, sometimes first thing in the morning when they open on the weekends or an hr before closing any time of the night, when it's less busy, is when you catch me. Namm sayinn...

10/19/25 My oldest…read morewanted raising canes for lunch today! It was easy enough to walk in and order his caniac combo meal which is hearty with 6 tenders, fries, and toast (slaw avail too) but we usually sub for extra canes sauce. Today's visit was descent on wait time and hot meal. When there is a long wait, it gets a bit chaotic and fries may not be as fresh and crispy/crunchy but it'll do. Ambiance was as expected of most of these faster food chains. Raising canes is usually better than most. Tables weren't clean when we sat but you can wipe down yourself. It wasn't super busy when we came in but we did see staff try to clean here or there.
