Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries
Nick M.

I wouldn't call this fast food chicken since they don't have a drive-through. When you do order at the counter, they make it hot and fresh. It usually takes about 10 minutes...if you don't wanna wait - just order ahead and go pick it up. I've done both and inside it is clean and fresh! Onto the food let's talk about this excellent chicken. These are not tiny chicken tenders. They are large juicy, crispy and seasoned in a way you might not think until you've tasted it and then you'll know you need this flavor in your life. For me, I've tried both the medium and the hot varieties and if you want a little more kick go with the hot because the medium is really like a mild. They have a great dipping sauce for the chicken and I also recommend adding some honey packets as well. The fries that come in their basket are seasoned to perfection, crispy and great in the sauce too. I have had their slider with coleslaw and pickle, but for me, I just prefer the chicken strips alone themselves. All in all this is one of the best chicken tenders I've ever had. It's a step above Byrds Hot Chicken because of the size of the chicken.

First time here. I went to the one in Crown Point with my friend because her family loves this place. She said that the chicken tenders were massive. They were HUGE and it wasn't just breading. The flavor of Dave's hot chicken is different than some of the other hot chicken places I've been to. It definitely had a chili powder overtone. I think I got medium spice. It was good, just not what I was expecting. The pickles were crunchy, the sauce was tasty, the fries were crisp, and the chicken was really good. I have no complaints. Personally, I don't know if I loved the chili powder overtones but I would definitely go back and try some of their other items, maybe one of their Sammies. The flavor profile is just my opinion.

My first and last time trying their chicken. It lacked flavor despite all the seasoning. I was surprised of the price and even more disappointed of the food. Service was good though.

Solid hot chicken flavor and value. Ordered 10 piece bites for 6.99 Rating 7/10 Pros: Perfect heat level, juicy chicken, simple menu. Cons: Small interior. Small selection.

Regular Top Loaded Fries

What a great experience and food! When we entered we were greeted promptly and the cashier ran us through the menu with recommendations. The food was cooked to order and came out fresh and hot. It was very tasty! The restaurant was clean and welcoming, albeit the music was a bit loud to have conversation at the table. But would highly recommend a visit and the food!

First time here. Service was welcoming and friendly. They were a little busy but we didn't have to wait long. The food and drinks were good. Would come back.

Cauliflower single slider
Jaclyn W.

So my fiancé and I stumbled upon this place, kind of by accident last week. I will say I really love their food. The first time we went we tried the six piece cauliflower bites with medium seasoning. First off those cauliflower bites are my favorite thing they sell. I honestly might like it a little bit more than the chicken. The medium seasoning is phenomenal. There's so much flavor and you honestly don't even need the Dave's sauce that comes on the side. My fiancé loved the cauliflower single slider. That was also his favorite thing. He rated it a 10/10. We went back again this week and tried the medium chicken sliders. Those also had so much flavor and were excellent. The mac & cheese is also pretty good for being a fast food kind of mac & cheese. There is a lot of flavor and it seems to be popular. The workers are very friendly and they keep the place clean. There's plenty of parking, they share a parking lot with few different places.

The number 4 mild is a hit

Sean is an amazing greater he explained everything on the menu perfectly. The food was made fresh in a timely manner. The number 4 mild and the number 2 mild is tastyp

Yes. The chicken is hot. However, it's not the kind of hot that just "comes-and-goes'. It sticks around with you for a while. But it's the flavoring with the juiciest chicken that makes you enjoy every flaming-hot bite. It's the kind of sweat that bead up behind your neck. Most awesome.

Two tender meal - medium.
James G.

I ordered delivery via Grubhub...I ordered the two tender meal with fries. I added cheese sauce, but it was forgotten in the order. The first thing I noticed was there weren't a lot of french fries and the chicken tenders were very RED. I ordered the heat as "medium." It ended up being hot still. They put the chicken on pieces of white bread. I don't understand that; I would have preferred the bread to have been toasted a little bit instead of just dry bread. The chicken was juicy and cooked through. I wasn't sure of the spice/coating on the chicken. It tasted artificial to me but wasn't terrible. It includes some sauce, which is similar to another chicken fast food restaurant - so it was decent! The fries were good too because they were covered with seasoning. It would have been nice to have a side of cole slaw or greens. This was not a very filling lunch. But it wasn't terrible either. I tried Byrd's restaurant down the street, and I believe Dave's is a notch above.

Finally tried Dave's Hot Chicken. Stopped in for lunch. I had the slider and tender combo (medium). The slider was good but the tender had way too much spice on it and not enough flavor. The fries and dipping sauce were very good. Stick to the sliders. The people working there were very friendly and helpful. The place is brightly colored and clean. There are some good options on the menu. The challenge is our lunch for two with drinks was $35 which seems pretty high for a fast food lunch.

More batter than chicken. Flavor is weak. Service sucks. I will never come back again, not the same as it used to be. Sad

The chicken slider is ok, the seasoning isn't really grabbing me and it might have too much put into it.

All I can say is wow! As someone who is from this part of the world, I was amazed at how flavorful…read morethe food was. We ordered the falafel bowl, a crispy chicken shawarma sandwich, hummus, and 5 piece falafel. They fry the falafel to order which is amazing because it will always be fresh and crispy. Hummus had a good smooth texture and they were very generous with the oil (great quality olive oil) and toppings. The crispy sandwich had a good amount of chicken in it making it very filling. The garlic sauce tasted exactly how it should. Like pure garlic! The restaurant was very clean and they even had gloves at the tables. I love that! Workers were very friendly as well. Overall, I would 100% recommend!

Late post Came here…read morelast night with some friends for dinner. For most of us, this was our first time. This place is located in a strip mall, so there is ample parking. Some staff are inviting, others, not so much. They have seating and music playing. I like that they offer options to choose an item from the menu or build your own meal. Some of my friends chose to do this. Another friend ordered a wrap, and I chose the chicken shawarma garden. They don't have their desserts on their menu, but they do offer quite a bit. We got a sampler which had a variety of desserts. The ingredients were fresh, and everyone enjoyed their meals. The fries are awesome, and I am not sure which dessert I had, but it had pistachios on top, and it was delicious.

Price: I'm not sure what would be considered "the average price" for tacos, but given the size and…read morehow much protein was packed into each taco, my partner and I were deeply satisfied with the amount of leftovers we had for a late dinner and the following day (We had orderd an 8-pack for $40ish, thinking the tacos were going to be relatively small). I will say - bring cash! The cashier taking orders advised me it would be significantly cheaper with cash. (I didn't ask how much the card fee would be, because I thankfully I cash on me anyways). Seating: limited, both inside and out. And the line literally never died when we were there, so it was extra crowded inside (the queue cuts right through the seating area, and those waiting for takeout have even less space to work with). We got lucky because we arrived right when another couple left their seats. In our 8-pack, we got three different protein options with plenty of consomme, but our opinions really differed on which was the best. My partner: 1) Surf & Turf 2) Al Pastor 3) Birria Me: 1) Al Pastor 2) Birria 3) Surf & Turf But overall, everything was too delicious to really matter. We wish we had something like this near us. (Also, because of the crowd, the food does take a bit of time to come out, but the wait is 100% worth it). Drinks: Strawberry Horchata ($5) & Fruit Punch Jarritos ($3.50) I originally really wanted the regular horchata, but they had just run out right when it was my turn to order (again, the line was nonstop). The flavor of the strawberry horchata took some getting used, but ultimately was an enjoyable drink to have with our meal (I do want to go back and try their regular horchata though).

Absolute flavor explosion. Washed it all down with the refreshing Horchata. Perfect comfort food! Reminder that this is a self-service restaurant. It has a small counter to order, sit wherever table is available and wait for your food. It is small, very casual and easily gets packed. Parking can be a challenge.
