Dave’s Hot Chicken – Lubbock, TX

Lubbock’s location is on 82nd Street, in the retail corridor that a lot of Texas Tech students and locals already know for food and shopping. It’s a short drive from campus, which makes it a natural stop for a group dinner or a quick order between classes.

The menu doesn’t change city to city — Hot Chicken Tenders and Sliders are still the two signatures, each available at seven spice levels, with kale slaw, pickles, and Dave’s sauce served alongside. Combos with fries are the best value if you’re ordering for more than yourself. You’ve got the usual options: counter service, an order ahead through the Dave’s app, curbside pickup through the app, or delivery via the major apps that serve the area. Rewards members earn points on every order through the Dave’s app.

Lubbock Prices After Tax

Lubbock charges the standard Texas combined rate of 8.25%, so a quick rule is to add a little over a dollar to any combo. Here’s how the most common orders work out using chain starting prices from September 2026:

• Dave’s #3 (1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries): $16.09 before tax, roughly $17.42 after
• Dave’s #1 (2 Tenders w/ Fries): $14.89 before tax, roughly $16.12 after
• Single Tender: $4.99 before tax, roughly $5.40 after
• A #3 with a regular drink: close to $20.76

With Texas Tech nearby, plenty of people here eat on a budget, and a single tender with a side costs less than a full combo. Ordering through the Dave’s app also earns Frequent Fryer points, which add up quickly if you come by every week.
