Dave's Hot Chicken

One of the best Daves Hot Chicken! 🍗🔥💯 The interior is so fire; they really went all out. I've been to some of the nicest ones in Cali, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and even Tennessee, but Iowa just recently got this gem in Ankeny, which is always a vibe.

I hadn't tried their loaded fries or a shake yet, so I decided to give them a shot here, and they definitely nailed it! They were amazing, packed with so much flavor and premium quality. The meal was fantastic, and the experience was just as great. Overall, this is a 5-star Dave’s for sure ! While most of them are amazing, this one takes it to another level. One of the best additions has to be the overhead lighting; it really sets the vibe of the entire rest

The establishment boasts a well-appointed interior and features pleasant musical selections.

Food was great! This was my first time trying Dave’s Hot Chicken and I loved it so much I had to place another order. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and lived up to the hype. Definitely coming back again!

Dave’s Hot Chicken is a great spot for spicy chicken lovers. We tried the medium spice, and it had a perfect balance of heat and flavor. The chicken was well cooked, and the sides went really well with it. One thing I really appreciate is that all items are halal certified, which makes it an easy choice. The staff were friendly, service was quick, and the overall vibe was casual and fun.
