    Chicken was amazing! The flavor is incredible, the spice actually has a real kick to it, and the fries are seasoned perfectly. The restaurant is huge inside with amazing artwork throughout, which gives it a really cool atmosphere. The staff was also super nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend!

    I came here for the first time with my son. I didn't know what to expect as I have never been here. I let the girl at the counter know it was my first time and she wasn't helpful at all. No suggestions. Didn't explain anything so I just ordered. I got a chicken sandwich and my son got tenders. We felt like we didn't get the right experience because they give you honey and their signature sauce which I didn't know came with the meal. She asked me if I wanted a side of ranch so I said yes because I didn't know it came with sauces on the side already. The ranch was extra and I didn't end up using it. I ended up eating the sandwich as it was until my son saw the honey and told me to try it with it. The honey made the whole thing come together. I wish the girl at the counter was more informative. She could have explained that most people eat it with honey. She could have explained they come with a signature sauce so ranch wasn't needed. Overall the food was ok. Service was ok. The place itself is spacious and clean. It's located in the legend outlet mall.

    I usually always stop at this location when in sparks, it's always delicious. When i went just a few days ago i was disappointed, the chicken was very very flavorless and i ordered hot, the fries were overcooked, and the cauliflower (that they forgot at first) was really hard. The staff was super nice and helpful, they took care of the missing cauliflower and gave us a discount on our purchase. I'm not sure what was going on the day i visited but i would usually recommend this place!

    I've been struggling with this place I've gone there three times already and the first time i went everything was delicious it was so good the amount of ingredients was perfect. But unfortunately the past two times I've gone my order was incorrect had to go back and tell them what was wrong then my husband came back home with an order and it still just wasn't the same as to what I was wanting/asking for. And again we went this past weekend on Sunday and I asked for extra sauce we took a look at it before we left and i was like perfect i got the correct order but didn't realize I didn't get my extra sauce that I paid extra for. I'm highly disappointed with this place and I honestly don't think I would go back anymore. To make things worse i saw a few pieces of coleslaw on my plate and the extra dave's sauce you do see is from me putting it on there but I asked for both extra nacho cheese and extra dave's.

    Tried today 2/28/26. It was ok. Wasn't bad. Mac n cheese was a bit watery. Fries were ok. Sauce was good. Not sure I'll come back

    Dave's Hot Chicken in Sparks is easy to find, tucked in the Legends shopping area with plenty of parking. It's right off the main road, so getting there is quick and straightforward. Inside, the vibe is fun and colorful with bold murals on the walls and a casual, open layout. It's bright, a little loud in a good way, and feels like the kind of place you can just hang out without worrying about being too formal. We all went for the sliders. The chicken had a dry rub that gave it a nice kick, but even the "hot" level wasn't too hot, just enough spice to keep things interesting without making you sweat. The meat stayed juicy inside with a perfect crispy coating, and the soft buns, crunchy slaw, and pickles balanced it out perfectly. The crinkle-cut fries were seasoned just right and paired well with the sliders. Service was fast and friendly from the moment we walked in. Our food came out hot and fresh in what felt like just a few minutes, and everyone we interacted with was upbeat and welcoming. It made the whole meal even better.

    CRAZY DS IS BETTER Now listen folks, Dave's has the image and branding down. However the flavor tastes as good as fast food. It's nothing special etc. The customer service was amazing. However if i'm in the scheels shopping center I think chick fil a is my go to chicken place for price and flavor. As far as our local chain crazy ds is so much better. The flavor isn't comparable, crazy ds marinates their chicken and they make their pickles homemade as well as most other things. THE GOD DAMN SAUCE. I'd legitimately replace all my white blood cells with crazy ds sauce so when i tried dave's sauce i was ready for nothing. It was whatever. Chick fila is better and Crazy ds is so much better for similar style and location. Response: You're a big corporate chain, you can't do much about flavor. I rather just go to my local Nashville style chicken. The customer service and setup was great. I'm definitely feeling that chat gbt wrote your response adding to the flavorless corporate chain narrative. It wasn't bad but it's being placed against way better options like Crazy Ds and chick fil a. I don't see myself wanting this again.

    Really enjoyed Dave's Hot Chicken in Sparks. Loved the space and vibe, and the service was super fast. The chicken was good, and I appreciated the honey on the side to balance the heat. Solid spot when you're in the mood for hot chicken and want something quick and easy and affordable.

    Their slushies are good and the chicken had a nice flavor. Will be back to try the mozz sticks!

    As a vegetarian, I will admit to being curious about all these delicious chicken sandwiches that are out these days. Well, Dave's got us veggie people covered. The breaded part of the cauliflower sandwich is so crispy and not at all greasy. I got the mild sauce. The bun? So darn good. Soft, tasty and literally hugs the contents when you squish it a little to take that first bite. The dipping sauce for the fries has a little spicy-sour kick to it and the fries are somewhere close to crispy, but still soft. The extra cup of pickles is surprisingly zingy--spicy, salty, so delish. While I tend to get this to go more often than not, I have sat inside twice. And the atmosphere is clean and has plenty of tables and chairs. The bathrooms are also very clean.

    I was heading to Popeyes ( their wings) but thought I'd check these guys out. First time ... we'll see .... Cashier welcoming and I asked how "hot" was their "hot" chicken and she stated HOT. So I didn't want to tempt faith; although I like a little heat wanted to try and enjoy their chicken for the first time. Chicken bites (nuggets) - no spice - tasty considering no sauce and very moist ! - rate a 5 (five) They look "burnt" or overcooked ?!? but they're not. Very thin or minimal batter which I prefer. When ordering asked what other sides I could get besides regular fries and was told cheese fries, mac & cheese etc., however I wasn't told about the up-charge. (Counter Rate 2) Bites (Nuggets) $7.99 with fries $10.99 (not worth $3) with cheese another $1.50 (not informed about) (Pricing rate 1) Ordered a shake - very small for $5.49; although cup was coldish - shake (itself) the temp to me was room temp. It wasn't one of those that you take your first sip and it's so cold you have to wait. (Shake rate 1) Waiting by the pick up counter and thought I would ask worker - "since I ordered no spice could I get a little of the hot sauce on the side so I could try it (heat)?" She handed me Dave's sauce which I believe is the dipping sauce. Although I wanted to try the "hot" sauce; maybe the batter is where the heat is. Overall experience wasn't great but will try again with someone who can eat "hot" just incase it's too hot for me the food doesn't go to waste. (Overall rating 3)

    If you like hot fried chicken this is a must try! First time trying Dave's hot chicken and was really impressed! The chicken is perfectly seasoned and has really good flavor. I ordered hot and it was perfect not too spicy where it was overbearing but overall excellent! The service was pretty quick, even with them being very busy. I would say the inside of the location was very clean the restrooms not so much so but that's a given for how busy they were. I will definitely be back because how good the food tasted!

    I am a big fan of hot chicken and Daves did not disappoint! I know they are a pretty big chain but I have never tried them up to now. I did worry I might not enjoy it because they are a wide spread chain but ultimately they did everything right in my book. I got the Chicken Strip and Slider Combo in Hot. Unsurprisingly their hot was pretty hot . It definitely made me eat it slow and luckily their sides and sauce were tasty enough to keep me happy in between chicken bites. The chicken was nicely crunchy outside while tender and juicy inside. The spice was hot but still had good flavor, I may go medium next time to try to enjoy the flavor a bit more. The fries and mac and cheese had seasoning on them that just elevated both which were well exited already. The inside of the restaurant is pretty big and decorated pretty cool. Also, the two staff members interacted with were super friendly and helpful. This place will definitely be in my rotation when I am craving some hot chicken.

We had to feed a crowd at home recently and Middle Eastern cuisine suited everyone's fancy, so naturally Aladdin's was the call. Using the online ordering system was simple, and the food was ready right on time. My only feedback is that the items don't all clearly describe what you get or how the dish comes, and so I added sauces thinking they came on the side but really came on top, and paid upcharges for things like pita, thinking they didn't come with it but then finding out they did and I just added a lot of extra. I ordered a few shawarma plates, an Aladdin combo, and hummus, falafel, and babaganoush appetizers. Everything was delicious, but some items were a bit surprising. The hummus is was a bit on the loose side, and we actually thought it was tahini from the look, aroma, and flavor. My guess is the batch was made with a bit more tahini than normal. Still good, but surprising. The Aladdin's Combo didn't look as pictured on the website, where it looks like a very sizable portion of meat, with chicken in a reddish marinade. Though the chicken looked similar to shawarma, it was clearly different in flavor, and both it and the koobideh were delicious. I ordered extra meat and had expected it to be outrageously large based on the menu photo of the standard order, but what came was more similar to the photo itself. It was still plenty to share, but I paid additional and didn't seem like I got that much more. The regular portions here are large, like easily feed two people sized. We ordered one plate per person, but in reality could've split them all. Again, I love this spot and chalk this up to learning. I think some folks could get frustrated with this experience, and I def did to an extent, but I enjoy this too much to gripe.
