Dave's Hot Chicken

We stopped here for a bite on a road trip. We were going to go to Chick-fil-a, but decided to try out Dave’s. And man, it was the best fast food experience of my life! From the moment we walked up the counter, Irish took our order and was the friendliest worker we’ve ever met. I ordered a medium spice combo meal, but I was curious as to how intense the “reaper” option was. She offered to let me try a nugget (for free), but I politely declined (to protect my stomach). The food was delectable. Super hot, juicy, and the seasoning was insanely good. But about halfway through our meal, the district manager, Adam, offered the nugget once more. As this happened, a group of teenagers next to us popped the “reaper” level spice nuggets into their mouths (courtesy of Adam), and hell broke loose. R

Don’t sleep on Dave’s Hot Chicken you guys! They finally opened a brand-new location in Bloomington, Illinois, and let me tell you—this is some of the freshest hot chicken I’ve ever had. This was only my second time trying Dave’s (the first was in Springfield), and once again, it absolutely caught me off guard in the best way. First of all, their chicken strips are NOT small, so be prepared. When you order a slider, don’t think you’re getting some tiny sandwich—this thing is full-size and loaded. The kale slaw adds the perfect amount of flavor and crunch, especially when paired with Dave’s sauce… such a good combo. The fries are also fantastic—almost perfect. I personally like mine just a little crispier, but the seasoning on them is so good it doesn’t exactly matter lol 🔥🍗 And yes… we’re

These light mild chicken bites are my new safe food. I can’t handle spice, but want to. This flavor is just right for me. The boneless bites are always juicy and fresh when eating in. The outside is always a very thin coating of bread which is just top tier. The customer service is 10/5, they’re always super nice to us. Atmosphere, it can get very crowded and busy. It has a lot of songs with saxophone and trumpets which hurts autistic ears. Service: not really counts cause it’s all pick up at the counter and you need to ask for forks but they are very accommodating. The 10 piece bites are very reasonable priced at $7 without fries.

Holy hell friendly! When you’re greeted before you even enter the building, at the counter and a friendly goodbye when leaving. They were super busy being the grand opening, but they are handling the flow very nicely. The fries are crispy and well seasoned. The chicken sandwich is crunchy with enough spice to make your nose water (I ordered mild) The Dave’s sauce is a perfect addition to the fries and chicken! I will definitely be back.. I hope the quality stays

Good first experience at Dave's. Employees were nice, friendly, and well trained. It was really crowded inside and drive thru was busy as well and they still got my order out in about 15 minutes which was impressive. Food tasted great while hot, but leftovers didn't reheat well in the oven later at night. The hot and extra hot heat levels were just perfect for me, but most won't be able to handle extra hot! 🔥😁 Their mac and cheese was good as well. Prices seemed okay relative to portion size.
