    Well I was so excited for Dave's hot chicken in Springfield, Oregon to finally open. It felt like forever, watching the building being built. Then it took forever for the concrete to be poured. Then the parking stripes. We would drive by every day just to see if there was a sign saying open. By now you've already figured out, that me and my husband love chicken! I would say we are chicken connoisseurs. I felt the ambience there was super upbeat and friendly. It was bright and energetic. The staff was outgoing and made sure they came to our table to check on us not once, but twice. I loved their Customer Service. Very on top of every detail. I did find the chicken not as I expected. It was far spicier than I anticipated. Now that might be my fault. I should've probably read the reviews about the spice level. Be careful when you order or you will burn your lips off. The fries were the best fries I've had in ages! I try not to have fries too often because I used to have an addiction to them. I gave them up for almost 2 years, but at Dave's, I found myself ordering fries with my chicken tenders. I wish I wouldn't have done that because now I think about those fries every day! Please try Dave's Hot Chicken in Springfield, Oregon but I'm warning you to possibly look into the spice level and where you'd like to be. Probably might be more on the mild side. I'm never into dipping sauces. I like my chicken just simply chicken. But for some reason, I tested out the chicken sauce that comes with every chicken order. That was superb! I don't even want to know what the calorie range was for something so creamy and delicious. I can't figure out what it was made of, but it definitely was worth it for whatever calories it is. I wish I would've taken a picture for you, but I was so hungry. We ate it way too fast. After we were cleaning up, I thought boy that Chicken was so pretty. I should've taken a picture. Enjoy the Dave's Hot Chicken in Springfield, Oregon. Springfield, definitely needed a new fresh vibrant restaurant in this town.

    The tenders are crunchy, meaty, and delicious-medium spice is nice. Good service. Ambiance-it's a chicken restaurant, so don't expect a lot of it. Fries-yum! Mac & cheese is creamy-another place to get Mac and cheese. Pickles aren't bad. But there's one thing I love with tenders-where is the ranch? I love my ranch dressing! We need a ranch dressing that is savory! The Dave's sauce isn't bad, but it's not ranch.

    The drive through was... is so slow I'm writing this in the line. I have never been through a line this slow. I sure hope the food makes up for it. I would have just gone inside.

    This is a new location and it shows in both good and growing-pains ways. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression. The food itself was good and lived up to the Dave's Hot Chicken expectations, but the wait time was very long. It took much longer than it should have to get our order, especially considering how straightforward the menu is. With more experience and smoother operations, I'm confident they'll be able to tighten up ticket times.

    The service was absolutely phenomenal! The first time my boyfriend and I visited this location we ordered through the mobile app. I was planning on making a Pickup order and simply going through the drive-thru to pick it up... (Similar to McDonalds and how their app works) Shoutout to Venus for giving us a wonderful experience during the order process! She was AMAZING!!

    Customer Service was great! Front counter employee was very kind and came around and asked how our food was. The food was delicious. Thanks Dave's Hot Chicken. I'll be back!

    Single Slider - Hot

    Got the hot single slider and it was so good we ate it in the parking lot and pulled straight through the drive thru to get another one. Was helped by Lucas originally and he was exceptionally nice and helped us with deciding what we wanted. Military discount is 50% off so that means order more! It's well worth it. When we went back through the drive thru was helped by Bree and Vincent and they were very nice helpful and funny. Great experience overall, I live 2 hours away and it's so good I'm willing to make the drive once a week just to get this chicken. Amazing seasoning and great spice level if you're a spicy food connoisseur.

    First time at Dave's. I'm a believer! Great food and great value. A single slider was more than enough food for a quick lunch.

During 08/04/2026 lunch with a friend, also out of town & ate here for the first time, between 12:30-2:30pm, my friend ordered chicken teriyaki. She said she liked it; portion was big enough that she took half of it home. I didn't look for the price. I ordered two appetizers for us: -Golden Squash: I get this every single time that how good & how much I love it. I still enjoyed it even though the breading was a bit burnt so made the squash texture dried. -Crab Rangoon $12: I like how they wrapped their better than most places. -Papaya Salad, no protein: a bit salty for this visit but still refreshing for such hot weather day. My total was $40, couldn't remember exact price for Golden Squash & Papaya Salad since I didn't ask for the recipe. L shape inside sitting & spacious. Their own parking lot is about 10 cars. Free street parking. Prompt & sufficient service. They do have daily special menu written on blackboard.

I came here on a Sunday afternoon and the restaurant was bustling. We got seated right away at a booth with a window view. My waitress was an older Asian lady. She was very nice, not too talkative, but she was on top of her things. I was craving soup and decided on the highly recommended tom kha with tofu. To start, we had thai tea, thai coffee and the shrimp triangle. For our entrees, we decided on the pad see eu (they spell it pad se eu here), panang curry. The shrimp triangles were very yummy. Definitely get those. The thai tea and coffee was good, but just a little watered. I expected the taste to last in my mouth for a little bit. But it didn't. For the soup, I was excited to taste the soup! It smelled really good and it was boiling hot. My thought after my first sip of Tom Kha was, ok, this is good, they got it, but it just wasn't quite there. I couldn't pinpoint what was missing. Then I figured out that they didn't use full coconut milk. It was just a little bit and it was the lighter version. How disappointing! I wanted the robust tang, spice and coconut like how I have at home. The entrees made me sad. I really, really wanted to love it. The panang curry should be rich, thick and creamy. Instead it was soupy. I was really expecting and wanting the curry to stick to my rice, but instead it made soupy curry rice. My daughter pointed out that the curry and the tom kha soup was the same color and consistency. I didn't want to believe, but I think they used the same base and added the appropriate toppingss and seasonings to make a soup and a curry. My saddest dish was my last one that came out. It was the pad se eu. The wide rice noodles was wet and in broken pieces. I'm Asian and I'm from Vegas via Hawaii which means we have a lot of Asian cuisines, we know our food and have friends who work in high end Thai restaurants. (Think Lotus of Siam) When rice noodles break into smaller pieces, it means the noodles are probably not fresh and got hard. To soften, the cook used extra water and the heat was not high enough to cook, so it stuck to pan, making the cook mix it around more...broken wet noodles that doesn't brown. Overall, I really wanted to love this place. It has potential. Maybe it was an off day but on that day I went, it didn't give me the wow I expected. Most of the items has the taste on point. Please don't water down the curry or use lower fat coconut cream. I'm not used to having regular brocolli in thai food either, but I guess this is what Eugene likes or what we can get. And people, share your food! Thai food is family style! Share it! Put it in the middle of the table and let the other person have some! I was people watching around my table and my table was the only one that didn't have our own entree per person. lol
