About the Dave's Hot Chicken Menu Guide

We are an independent guide to the Dave's Hot Chicken menu. We are not Dave's Hot Chicken, we do not work for them, and we have never been handed a free tender for our trouble. We just got tired of squinting at blurry menu photos and decided to build the resource we wished existed.

What this site is

This is a reference for everything on the Dave's Hot Chicken menu — tenders, sliders, Hot Mozz, the cauliflower line, sides, shakes, slushers, and drinks — with 2026 prices, calorie estimates, ingredients, spice-level breakdowns, and a detail page for every single item. The goal is simple: help you decide what to order before you are standing at the counter holding up the line.

What this site is not

We are not the restaurant. We cannot take your order, fix a missing side, process a refund, or check whether your local store is open. For anything that involves an actual transaction or a real human in an apron, please contact Dave's Hot Chicken directly through their official website, daveshotchicken.com.

How we keep it accurate

Menus change. Prices drift. New items show up and old ones quietly disappear. We review the information here regularly and date every page so you can see when it was last checked. That said, prices and availability vary by location and by delivery app, so treat our numbers as a well-researched estimate, not a binding quote. When in doubt, the in-store menu and the official app are the final word.

Our take on the food

We have opinions, and we share them. We will tell you that Medium is the right order for most people, that the Reaper is a party trick rather than a flavor, and that a milkshake cools the burn far better than the water you are about to reach for. Where we give an opinion, we try to back it with a number or a reason — not just enthusiasm.

Who is behind it

A small team of people who eat too much hot chicken and enjoy a well-organized table. If you spot something wrong — a price that has changed, an item we are missing, a typo that has been staring at us for weeks — we genuinely want to hear about it. Head to our contact page and let us know.
