"I’ve tried Dave’s Hot Chicken at the Menomonee Falls and Kenosha locations—those were okay, but the Wauwatosa location is excellent. The sliders are juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The chicken was fresh, hot, and crispy, and the seasoning was spot on. Service was fast and friendly, and the place was clean and well run. This location definitely stands out compared to the others. I’ll be back."

"First time eating at Dave’s and the experience was awesome. Really cool guy working at the front, kind, polite, professional, and super welcoming. The food was awesome, legit didn’t speak until I finished, and the vibe was awesome. Food came out quick, hot, and tasted great. Highly recommend anyone stop here if they’re looking for a good quality bite to eat on the go."

"Dave's Hot Chicken lives up to the hype! The chicken is incredibly juicy and flavorful, with a fantastic crispy Coating. You can choose your spice level, from no spice to "Reaper" for the truly daring. The "Hot" level provides a satisfying kick without being Overwhelming"

"I never leave positive reviews because I hold establishments to a high expectation being a certified chef....but I had an AMAZING experience tonight. India was extremely bubbly and welcoming. She was extremely knowledgeable about the options for service and the food came out in immaculate time! Food was fresh...hot and seasoned to expectation. I would definitely recommend!!!"

"I had an amazing experience at Dave chicken and not only did. I have great food. I also had great customer service from Onur .He guided me through everything that I wanted to know about and he even made an assumption if I wanted to substitute fruity pebbles onto a slushy and also accommodated me and also I was sitting and he walked my food to me. I didn’t even have to come get it. He walked it to me. Great customer service from him. He’s a good guy. I think that guy deserves a raise"

"I had a great experience. I went with my friends for the first time and I will be coming back frequently. Food was gas, service was awesome. The dude running it was really nice, stopped and checked in to make sure our food was good, all around great experience. And whoever was on aux too, the music was a vibe. Would definitely recommend."

"I’ve been wanting to try this for years and was slightly disappointed. Service was incredible and food was prepared quickly but I was hoping for something more. I didn’t realize the chicken was more of a dry rub and not a sauce. I tried chicken with no spice, medium, hot, and reaper and all were good but not great. The Hot slider was probably the best combo of flavors; the Reaper was HOT but didn’t have a good flavor. I enjoy spicy foods but wasn’t impressed. That being said, the Reaper was more enjoyable the next day when my mouth wasn’t already salty and hot from other flavors. If I go again, I’ll do the extra hot."

"Rudy was so nice and offered suggestions because we’d never been to Dave’s before. But mostly he was so nice, we eat out a lot and rarely experience such good customer service, in general but especially from young people. Haven’t even tried the food yet and already looking forward to coming back!"
