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
Z Realty G.

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.

Here's the skinny: Cool staff They slice the meat there The Big Kahuna Philly Cheese Steak Door to the back parking lot Here's the fat: The staff is pretty cool here, talkative, easy to get along with and generally pretty awesome. There's a lot of choices for subs and the employees know 'em all. All the cold cut's are sliced right there, they've even got a meat slicers right on the front counter. The slicer is clean too, props especially because of the amount of meat that they must go through. If you're lookin' for something that really pops and gets your mouth watering, get The Big Kahuna Philly Cheese Steak. It's loaded! Extra Cheesy and is seriously on point when it comes to how everything is put together. Not one ingredient overpowers the other, they all just meld together perfectly. When the owners took over the new building they added a door in the back of the store to the secondary parking lot. This helps a lot because there is hardly any parking out front and can be kind of a pain. This place is really worth a look see if you haven't heard of Jersey Mikes. I was told it's a chain with 30 something stores in Illinois. SYOY

There were more workers than customers which was the first thing that hit me. Second, the menu wasn't that easy to decipher. All I wanted was a simple tuna sub. I decided to get just the 6" sandwich since adding the drink and a bag of chips was no bargain. I paid nearly $10 for just the sandwich. I know inflation has caused prices to surge recently but I did not feel my meager sandwich was worth 10 bucks after I consumed it at home. I live very close by. If I would have purchased the simple combo, I would have paid about $20 and that was much more than I was willing to pay for such a lowly presentation and not very appetizing endeavor. It just wasn't worth the asking price. Gee, imagine what a family of four (4) would pay to be fed here? Sadly, fast food chain restaurants are quiet the costly alternative to filling your stomach these days. You'll never get rich being a frequent diner at Jersey Mike's, nor can you count on getting a nourishing meal. Better options remain for the discovery, I'll let you seek and find them out.
