“ The meal was soo good and i dare say that it was the best meal we had on our entire trip in Chicago, but the highlight of this place is the cashier, sadly i don’t remember her name, she’s skinny and very friendly. I noticed that she always asked the customers if it was their first time visiting dave’s hot chicken and she willingly explained the menu to them. She also made sure that we got our orders right and came back to our table during our meal to ask if we needed anything else. Wow what a service ”
“ Dave’s Hot Chicken is as good as fast food gets — bold, juicy, fiery perfection in every bite. We first tried it in Indianapolis and were instantly obsessed, so seeing a new location pop up in Chicago felt like striking gold. The menu is simple but packs a punch, with unbeatable combo deals that deliver incredible value. The sliders are massive, loaded with crispy, perfectly seasoned chicken, tangy slaw, pickles, and that irresistible Dave’s sauce — pure magic. The spice levels let you choose your own adventure, from no heat to “reconsider your life choices” hot. The fries are thick, golden, and addictively seasoned, rounding out a meal that’s satisfying from start to finish. It’s fast food, but with flair, flavor, and just the right amount of fire. An absolute must-try. ”
“ It was my first time going to Dave's Hot Chicken! I'm really glad that I've chosen exactly this location! First impression is important! The place is clean inside and outside. People are VERY friendly! Shotout to Kiara for serving me this time! She's really nice! Food is AMAZING! Chicken is crispy, but not dried out! Super juicy and flavorful! Writing this makes my mouth water again! I'm also not a big fries lover, but those are some of the best fries in the game! If you're looking for Dave's Hot Chicken in Downtown, definitely come here. You won't regret it! It's clear to me why they have such a high score on Google! Definitely coming back for some more chicken! ”
“ I just had the most incredible chicken sandwich, and let me tell you, I went for the spicy level “Hot” – and wow, did it deliver! If you love heat, this one is a must-try. The fries? Oh my goodness, they had an insane crunch that I've never experienced before. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and in my opinion, they nailed the seasoning perfectly! However, I can see how some might find it a bit intense. I also tried a fruit punch smoothie, which was super sweet and tangy. If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll definitely love it, but for someone like me who isn’t too keen on tart flavors, it wasn’t quite my favorite. The only thing I’d tweak would be the sauce – it just didn’t quite align with the amazing flavors of the rest of the dish. Overall, though, I’d give this experience a solid 4.87 out of 5! Absolutely thrilling! ”
“ The best chicken I’ve ever had in my entire life... I would go out of my way to experience eating at Dave’s hot chicken again. Their frozen Powerade was my favorite drink. They mislabeled my reaper tender with a medium so I found out the hard way just how spicy the reaper is. The cauliflower bites I’d stay away from them because they tasted like chemicals. But other than that 9.7/10. ”
“ The Chicken is freaking phenomenal! (as well as all the yummy sides) The atmosphere, is squeaky clean, fun and funky. But The outstanding staff is what makes this location truly special! Thank you Colton and Ja’Nya for always making us feel so warmly welcomed! ”
“ Had such a great experience, was greeted pleasantly by Kiara. It was my first time, got the #4, 9.99 for a chicken sandwich and fries and plenty of pickles, a deal! Victor suggested the mac & cheese substituted for the fries, maybe next time. The fries were so good, well seasoned. The slider was so satisfying, medium spice. Good food, excellent service, fun/chill atmosphere. ”
“ I got the #4 9.99 chicken sandwich with fries. Love the Dave’s sauce - a mayo based sauce tasting like Chick Fil A sauce. Crispy and customizable spice. I like the lite mild - a little spice and flavor. Jeremiah was the best! ”
