Dave's Hot Chicken is totally gnarly if you're down for some spicy bird. The chicken's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with the heat levels really bringing the burn, but in a good way. I went with the "Hot" level, and it definitely kicked up some serious heat but still tasted awesome. The fries are bomb too--crispy and loaded with flavor. Service was chill, nothing wild, just laid-back. If you're craving some solid, spicy chicken, this spot's definitely worth catching a wave to!

Dave's Hot Chicken is a must-try for anyone who loves bold flavors and a spicy kick! From the moment you walk in, you're hit with the irresistible smell of perfectly fried chicken. The menu is simple but packed with flavor, offering a range of heat levels, from the mild "No Spice" to the fiery "Reaper." The service was really great they're very respectful.

Wow! All I kept thinking is how we hadn't tried this sooner?! Spicy food is my weakness. The spiciness just zings in your mouth, a bite of the juicy pickles adds that perfect crunch to everything. I'm prego so this was a satisfied craving fulfilled. Will be sending hubby back for more!

I've been hearing about this place, and I finally went and got Dave's hot chicken. All I can say is I absolutely love it. I only got the medium heat, which I thought was perfect. I love spicy food, but not blazing hot. The medium heat was delicious and spicy just enough. We got the Chicken Tenders half medium heat and mild, and I happily enjoyed both heat versions. It came with Dave's hot chicken sauce, a container full, plus a few individual packets, which were perfect because we had a lot of leftovers, so I took one chicken tender to work the next day, and I was a mighty happy camper! The service was quick enough and Dave's hot chicken was a spicy chicken tender feast! The whole family loved our dinner, It was tangy, crunchy, juicy chicken deliciousness! And if you like mild, and I must say it was just a hint of spice, it is still absolutely delicious! Nice, big, thick white chicken tenders with that yummy crunchy crust. We ordered chicken tenders with white bread, and we put Dave's hot chicken sauce on the bread and it came with a container of pickles. "I have heard all kinds of things about this place, some good, some not so good." All I can say is that my experience with the food was absolutely delicious and spicy. The service was on point, The food was delicious even after driving home 20 minutes later. I will be back Cheers, my friends SYOY 11/26/24 #356

Came right before the dinner rush. The cashier at the front was super helpful and friendly. I'm not from here but by far one of my favorite fried chicken tender joint to come to. Medium spice level has a good enjoyable kick to it. Try it with honey! Military discount also available. Must try. Will be back when ever I'm craving fried chicken.

The food is amazing. I had low expectations because of some of the reviews, but I came on a slower day, and my chicken sandwich was so juicy, crispy, and had lots of flavors. The service was great! Since it was my first time at daves, they answered all of my questions. The place is very clean with some country music in the background. Will come back again.

[SANTA ROSA] HAS DAVES HOT CHICKEN!!! I love DAVES for the food & service. I ordered to-go, recently. My 'go-to order' is the '#3: 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries'. Usually ordering a 'Hot' Tender & for the Tender 'Extra Hot' because the bun is sweet & had the kale coleslaw to cool it down. If you don't like the sweet bun of the slider then the Tender comes with a white slice of bread. - Chicken is plump & juicy. - Service is quick & friendly. - Sit inside or outside with a fast food service style. - Perfect for a quick bite! [dining in or out] SPICE LOVERS: Challenge yourself to do the REAPER - it's not that bad, promise ‍
