Most Popular Dave’s Hot Chicken Menu Items 2026
Chicken Sliders & Tenders Combo
- Price: $13.99
- Calories: 1100–1300 Cal
So you have never ordered from the restaurant before. This meal makes it simple to try them out. You get one crispy tender and one slider in the meal. You get to try both of the things that people love about the menu without having to choose one over the other. You also get pickles and fresh kale slaw and Dave's signature sauce. Every bite of Chicken is interesting. There is spice and crunch and creaminess all working together in this meal. This meal is very filling. It is good for lunch and it is good for dinner too.
Dave’s Bites
- Price: $7.99 (10 pc) | $10.49 with Fries
- Calories: ~780–950 Cal
Dave's Bites are the hand-breaded chicken that you find in full meals. They are cut into pieces that are easier to snack on or share. The crunch and the bold flavor are still there. Nothing is made strong just because the pieces are smaller. You can eat them alone. Share them. You can also have them with fries on the side. No matter how you eat them the flavor is what you would expect from Dave's Hot Chicken Menu. It is just, in a format that does not need a combo order.
Mac & Cheese
- Price: $4.29
- Calories: 290 Cal
Mac & Cheese is really good. It is rich, buttery, and creamy. This is what makes Mac & Cheese so great when you are eating something spicy. Mac & Cheese is not something that you eat on the side. It actually makes the meal better. You can have Mac & Cheese with tenders, sliders or you can have it with bites. It is good with anything. It is good no matter how spicy your food is. Mac & Cheese always deserves to be on your tray.
Crinkle-Cut Fries
- Price: $3.99
- Calories: 440 Cal
Crispy outside, soft in the middle, and seasoned properly — Dave's Fries are the kind of side that disappears before anything else on the tray. They come out fresh with every order and work alongside anything on the menu. Order them as part of a combo or grab them on their own when you just want something simple done right.
Hot Box – Sliders
- Price: $70.00
- Approximately 3500–4000 Cal, depending on the serving size and portion selected.
Big group, no plan, everyone hungry — the Feed A Crowd box sorts it out. A solid stack of Dave's signature sliders, crispy chicken, fresh toppings, and the kind of bold flavor that gets people talking. Family dinner, party, random gathering — it works for all of it and nobody leaves without eating well.
Lucky Charms Top Loaded Shake
- Price: $6.79 (Small) | $7.79 (Regular) | $10.49 (Large)
- Calories: ~650–900 Cal
Order the Lucky Charms Top Loaded Shake when the spice has done its damage and you need something cold and sweet. Thick and creamy in vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry, with crunchy Lucky Charms cereal on top that adds a little sweetness and a lot of texture. Best way to finish a meal at menu.
Burstin’ Mango Slusher
- Price: $5.69
- Calories: 260 Cal
The Burstin' Mango Slusher is cold, fruity, and genuinely refreshing — exactly what you want sitting next to a plate of spicy chicken. Sweet mango flavor, cold and icy, and it actually cuts through the heat when you need it to. If a shake feels too heavy, this is the better call.

The Heat Ladder: Seven Levels, All Real
Customizing your heat is the whole point. We built seven spice levels and every single one uses premium ingredients — not just more hot sauce poured on top.
1. No Spice
Pure chicken flavor. The breading is still deeply savory and the quality of the meat comes through clearly without any heat distracting you.
2. Lite Mild
A faint warmth and a touch of sweetness. The heat barely registers but the extra spices add real depth to the bread.
3. Mild
The cayenne is there but it never takes over. Smoke and garlic do most of the talking here, and whatever heat you do feel clears up pretty quickly.
4. Medium
This is where most new guests land and most of them stay. The heat builds as you eat, sits comfortably on your lips and throat, and still lets all the other flavors come through. Classic Nashville experience without going overboard.
5. Hot
Now you're in real spice territory. Strong burn, lingering heat between bites, and you might break a little sweat. The flavor is still excellent here — we actually recommend pairing it with mac and cheese to balance it out.
6. Extra Hot
This one is serious. Fast heat, heavy throat burn, and an endorphin rush that makes it addictive if you're built for it. Only order this if you know what you're getting into.
7. The Reaper
Dave's Hot Chicken Menu use genuine Carolina Reaper pepper powder here. The heat builds with every bite and doesn't let up. It's intense enough that they require guests to sign a waiver before ordering. If you want bragging rights, this is how you earn them.
Frequent Fryer Rewards Program
The Frequent Fryer Rewards Program is how the restaurant gives back to the people who keep coming back. Every eligible order earns you points, those points turn into free food, and the whole thing is free to join through the app. You can start earning from your very first order.
How It Works
- Earn Points — 10 points for every $1 spent on qualifying in-store and online orders.
- Redeem Your Points:
- 300 Points — Free side or drink. Fries, Kale Slaw, or Mac & Cheese.
- 600 Points — Free Shake, Cheese Fries, Slider, or Tender.
- 1,200 Points — Free combo meal.
- Welcome Bonus — New members get a free drink with their first eligible purchase.
- Automatic Tracking — Scan your QR code or drop your phone number at the register and the points show up on their own.
- Forgot to Scan? — Not the end of the world. Pull up the app, upload your receipt, and the points will come through.
What Else You Get
This app is really cool because it does a lot more than track points. With the app you get discounts that nobody else knows about and you find out about new deals before anyone else. You can even order your food ahead of time save the things you like to eat so they are easy to order and you can actually see where your food is while it is being delivered to you. The app lets you get to Dave's Hot Chicken Menu items before they are available to everyone else.
Worth Knowing
Points only stack on orders placed directly through the official app or website. If you order through Uber Eats, DoorDash, or any other third-party service, those purchases typically do not qualify. One reward per transaction, and some rewards may come with expiration dates depending on the promotion.
On this website, we will provide you with complete information about Dave's Hot Chicken Gift Card.
Allergen & Nutrition Information
Allergen information is available but it does not tell the whole story. Details shift between locations and everything comes out of a shared kitchen, which means cross-contact happens. No item here can be fully guaranteed allergen-free.
Allergen Information
1. Shared Kitchen — Fryers, grills, and prep equipment are all shared across menu items. If an allergen is in the kitchen, there is a real chance it ends up in your food.
2. Cross-Contact Risk — Severe food allergies and shared kitchens are a difficult combination. Accidental cross-contact cannot be ruled out no matter how careful the staff are.
3. Limited Customization — Certain ingredients, sauces, and seasonings are built into the dish and cannot be taken out. That means a fully allergen-free preparation is not on the table.
4. Common Allergens — Wheat, gluten, milk, eggs, soy, and tree nuts are all present in or around the menu items.
Gluten Notice — There are no certified gluten-free options at the menu.
5. Tree Nuts — Almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, walnuts, pistachios, pecans, macadamia nuts, and other tree nuts may all be present.
Important — Talk to the staff before you order if allergies are a serious concern. Shared equipment means the risk is there even when an allergen is not listed as an ingredient.
Nutrition Information
A complete official nutrition breakdown for every menu item has not been released by the brand. Online nutrition figures for Dave's Hot Chicken Menu are ballpark numbers, not guarantees. Portion sizes vary, locations do things slightly differently, and what you find on a random website may not match what ends up on your tray. Check the official website, the app, or just ask at the restaurant if you need something accurate.
How to Get the Most Accurate Information
- Use the official website or app to check for the latest menu and nutrition updates.
- Ask the manager at your location for whatever allergen or nutrition guide they have on hand.
- Look for an official allergen guide if one is available where you are.
- Tell the staff about any allergies before you place your order — every time, not just once.
Tip: Serious food allergy or dietary restriction? Talk to someone at the restaurant before you order anything. Shared equipment means allergens can show up in food even when they are not supposed to be there.
Dave’s Hot Chicken Operating Hours
Important: Hours can change during holidays and some locations stay open later on weekends than others. Before you make the trip, especially around a holiday or a special occasion, take a minute to check the hours for your nearest restaurant so you do not show up to a closed door.
