Wow… the bite I took so far was very intense. I had extra hot sliders last week which didn’t give me trouble so I decided to try the reaper today. The only liquid I have nearby is in the form of a bag of oranges. Several oranges were furiously peeled and eaten to provide some cooling to my mouth. It was way more intense than all of the Hot Ones hot sauces I’ve had previously, I see now why they have a disclaimer about the reaper. It’s refreshing to see a restaurant taking their spice levels seriously.

    I don’t know if you realize there is a goat in your trunk

    I got about halfway through one, got some milk to cool down, then decided not the finish the rest because it made me realize that reapers taste like moldy, earth butthole.

  3. They way overseasoned it to make it a gimmick. End result is something that is exrtremely hot, but lacks flavor to make it worth that heat. I don’t know if you can ask for light seasoning, but all the other chicken is tasty. If they literally only put 1/3-/1/4 the seasoning, it would still be the hottest chicken I am aware of, but it would also taste good.

    I don’t care how spicy your food is, if you put kale on it, you suck. Dave’s is only trendy because it’s hot. It does not taste good. I have issues with this place. I had high hopes for them, until I tried them. I can keep ranting, but I won’t. Tried them twice. Two different orders, both had that garbage kale slaw on it. 🤢

    I love spicy foods (obviously) but I wont try the Reaper. The physically hot, fresh chicken with Extra Hot seasoning is plenty spicy. If the Reaper was on a food item that wasn’t piping hot when I ate it id probably try it.

    You really had to put your selfie, huh

    Every time I’ve eaten one of those they make me sign this receipt waiver that seems like a waste of paper and then the sandwich is less spicy than blazin buffalo wild wings sauce

    I really like the reaper tenders with the bread and pickles! SO HOT! 🥵

    But I can never eat a while tender at once, so its kind of a bonus cuz leftovers. Today I actually just posted I diced up my last piece and put it in some mashed potatoes with plenty of sour cream. Yummy! 😋🌶

    I was similar I would eat the last dab sauces from hot ones on everything and thought I built a tolerance. After eating a Dave’s reaper slider, GODDAMN. I flew too close to the sun and now I’m happy with habanero levels of spicy on stuff

  12. So, your post reminded me I have a Dave’s in town, so I got a medium and hot slider.

    Because I have learned my tolerance pretty well, will pronably not going above hot (wasn’t too spicey, chivken was delicious).

    For those of you who have tier hopped up, would you say the jump in spiciness from hot to very hot is like from medium to hot?

    (Had the hot first on accident, couldn’t even tell the medium had spice, haha)

    Bro let me know how your anus feels tomorrow been considering trying the reaper

    Their extra hot is my favorite. I’ve realized that at some point, all you taste is heat with no flavor on the reaper

    Fuck Dave’s they just sold to a VC group. We can’t ever have nice things in this world. The chicken is the same taste for now but the portions have dropped in size a lot already.

    Last time I ate @ Dave’s Hot in the Bay Area. I got food poisoning. It was my only meal of the day. I haven’t been back since. I used to love those hot sandwiches .

    The regular hot was pretty bad for me I know im a pussy. Also it tore up my stomach after not fun at all have never been back and all the food was mid

  18. i_am_a_shoe

    I just had Dave’s for the first time and while the flavor was good I OH MY GOD LOOK AT THAT GOAT

    I tried a reaper tender before.  Took a big bite and at first it wasn’t bad. But then it was and same thing I had no drinks available.  I should’ve tried it as a slider to even just dilute it a bit.   It is very hot

    I had this a month ago as a late dinner. One extra hot slider and one reaper. The extra hot wasn’t over the top or anything, just a proper “hot” to me. The reaper, though. First few bites were fine, but that fire built. I finished the sandwich without drinking anything (which is not a great idea anyway) and my mouth was in pain for about 10-15 minutes. But the bad part was when I woke up at midnight to some serious fire ants in my stomach. Oh my god now that was some pain. Only other time I felt like this was when I ate a whole Trinidad scorpion on an empty stomach. I wouldn’t go so far to say as I wanted to die, but I was seriously regretting finishing that sandwich.
