    This place is delicious! Clean, bright , and very spacious with outdoor seating as well. You can choose how spicy you want your chicken. I got the extra hot and it was just right! The service was excellent and welcoming! A must try!

    The thing that sticks out most about this place is the customer service! All of the ladies working at the front counter were very polite and courteous. My order was taken promptly and everything was exactly how I asked, both the fries and the chicken is crunchy, and I ordered the medium heat which is perfect.

    My first time here and Diego was very helpful! He explained everything and even brought us our food! I got the #2(1 hot and 1 extra hot) and my husband got the #3(mild). Good amount of food for the price. The place was nice and clean! 10/10 will come again!

    Dave's Hot Chicken is an absolute must visit if you're in the area and are wanting to find the best chicken sandwich. The spice levels are great, and the customer service is always on point. Whenever I visit Dave's Hot Chicken, I always order the Dave's #2 to share with Jordan. It's usually enough for the both of us, so portion sizes are pretty great. My only complaint is that the spice levels are always off, but as long as you try Hot+, you'll be fine. The customer service is definitely a plus here as well. The staff members I've interacted with have all been so kind and generous. It's definitely an A+ from me! Overall, I will always come back to this location. The food and customer service are the reasons why!

    The place was cool inside. Menu seemed a little limited but got the slider. I have hear a lot of good things about the place. It was just ok for me. Lots of food which was a plus but seemed average. Service was good and place was clean so still rated a 4.

    I was searching for a place to have lunch when I ended up at this rather upscale strip mall area that had many restaurants. Dave's Hot Chicken sounded unique compared to the other eateries in the area so I decided to give it a try. The interior has a contemporary look, with tables spread throughout, in addition to outdoor seating. Service is friendly and prompt. The menu was rather simple: Chicken tenders, either alone or in a slider. The chicken could be spiced up in different levels. I ordered a slider and tender combo, which comes with fries, toast and a drink, in addition to another tender. I chose the spiciness of "hot" since I generally prefer my food on the spicier end. The prices are a bit higher than my expectations, but the meal did deliver appropriate value. Initially, only a part of my meal came out but the server quickly realized that I had ordered an extra tender, and that came out shortly after. The meal is certainly a hearty one, with a slider, tender, fries, toast, and a drink. There is a sauce, ketchup, honey, and pickles as condiments. The slider was tasty and consists of a chicken tender with coleslaw in a bun. Cheese was extra. "Hot" was actually spicier than I thought, and fortunately drink refills are available. It may be a good idea to select one degree lower than your normal spiciness tolerance! The fries are a crinkle cut type and nothing extraordinary, as was the sliced bread. They serve Coca Cola products at Dave's Hot Chicken. Overall, I had a wonderful lunch at Dave's Hot Chicken, and this is certainly a place I would like to return to the next time I am in the area!

    Of course after hearing about this place I had to try it. And let me just say, it's an Instagram sensation for a reason. It's like zaxby's meets Hattie B's (if you know you know) I love eating it with the honey it gives you that sweet heat and everything is so flavorful. Highly recommend!

    #3 Hot Slider and Extra Hot Tender
    Jorena L.

    So excited to try this place because I'm a big fan of Nashville hot chicken! The menu is very simple - only sliders and tenders. The slider is the size of a regular sandwich. However, the prices are quite high. Big pieces of chicken that were very juicy. Hot spice level was just right for me. Had a good heat and kick but wasn't unbearable. Tried the extra hot too, and it ruined the flavor. Love adding the honey for a sweet and spicy balance. The fries were so crispy and light too! I really dunked them in the Dave's sauce lol. Overall I really enjoyed my meal but it's just a bit expensive.

    The chicken was decent, nice employees, and good sauce. The Mac And Cheese was very watery and overall wasn't good, it's like $3 for hospital food looking Mac and cheese. More watery than than H2O itself. Would not recommend getting the Mac and cheese at all. The fries were the most appealing thing in the meal, not good, but not bad. They were nicely seasoned, and had a good crispy taste. Ended up spending $70, which is way too much for 3 meals. I could've just went to Raisin' Canes and got something similar for a cheaper price. As you're paying, you're prompted for a tip, which I found weird. Considering that I walk up to the counter to order and have to walk back to the counter to pick the food when my number is called. Overall a 2.7/10. Fries: 10/10 Chicken: 6/10 Mac And Cheese: 2.5/10 Sauce: 5/10 Service: 9/10 I'm not a food critic, but this needs SOME improvement.

    First time here, never herd of it before but we didn't know what to eat. The place is pretty cool inside, industrial modern graffiti style I loved it. Food was good is 2 good size tenders with big fries and amazing pickles. And sort of a canes sauce. My husband thinks is just like canes except the bread is missing the butter. Service was good too, nice people clean inside. We order one no spice and one spice #1 we preferred the no spice. It was lots of powder with a sweet taste we didn't care too much for.

    Very very average with very little selection. Very breaded tenders and sliders. Just not a great place unless you have some sort of deal.

The crunchy onions that retain structure was absolutely divine. I could eat this everyday. Brisket - we didn't get a fatty piece which I liked because it allowed me to not get full easily Sichuan Lamb Ribs - softest lamb I have ever had (that wasn't in a curry) and the rub on it was not only the perfect amount but a perfect blend Tandoori Turkey - this was really moist and not spicy, great choice for those who do not like red meat Seekh Kabob Sausage - the casing was well done and the flavor profile wasn't overpowering, sometimes desi spices can overtake the meat and that was not the case here (no pun intended) Kochumber salad - well seasoned and I am so glad it is on the menu because you need a fresh element to palate cleanse and cut through bbq fat They open at 11am and the line started forming 10:30am, it moves at a good pace.

    "Sabar BBQ: Where the lamb ribs made me want to high five a stranger."…read more TL;DR: Get there early, order the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, let Zain carve you a plate of happiness, and prepare to have your taste buds do a Texas two-step with Pakistani spices. Worth every minute of the wait. This one's climbing my top 50 list faster than a brisket disappears at a family reunion. After one failed mission to Sabar BBQ, where I showed up too late and found an empty pit (and an emptier stomach), I came back like a man on a barbecue pilgrimage. The sun was blazing, the line was growing, and I wasn't about to be left holding nothing but a napkin this time. Pitmaster Zain Shafi runs this blue trailer like a flavor command center. The smell hit me halfway through the line and had me grinning like a kid at the state fair. I made my move when it was my turn, and if you know me, you know lamb is my kryptonite. I ordered the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, then couldn't stop myself from adding brisket and Tandoori Turkey. The sides? Kachumber Salad and Daal Chawaal, because even Uncle Sean needs balance in life. Zain loaded everything up, tossed it all on top of some naan for good measure, and sent me to my table like a champion headed to the winner's circle. The first bite of lamb ribs nearly had me proposing to the pit. Spicy, tender, smoky perfection with a bark that made my heart sing. The brisket was rich and juicy, the turkey came with that tandoori kick that slapped me awake in the best way possible. The sauces just tied the whole thing together like a big barbecue hug. The yogurt mint cilantro sauce was made to cool and lift the brisket and turkey to a whole new level. The red sauce packed a punch and paired with the lamb like it was born for the job. I boxed up some leftovers for my wife, the Side Dish Queen herself, because a man who doesn't bring home naan from Sabar BBQ is a man sleeping on the couch. She confirmed what I already knew: this was next-level barbecue, the kind that earns legends and long lines. Sabar BBQ is only open on weekends, and only fools show up late. I won't make that mistake again. This was stop number 15 on my Texas Monthly Top 50 journey, leaving me with 35 more glorious BBQ pilgrimages ahead before the passport is full and my belt officially waves the white flag. If loving these lamb ribs is wrong, I don't wanna be rib-right.

Today it was my choice for Mother's Day. We were greeted right away and before I even started the order, they gave me some flowers. That was a really nice touch of service.

She turned a bad day into a great one in just a matter of seconds. Thanks Demi. The first thing I noticed is they have new menus. Detailed and easy to read. We opted to try "the Jefe". It's a combination of ribs, pulled pork, burnt ends, brisket, turkey and sausage. Our sides consisted of Green beans, potato salad, tater tot casserole, cabbage and Hatch green chili Mac n cheese. Also ordered a Texas Twinkie! Hurtados knows BBQ. Ribs are tender and tasty and MOIST! The perfect combination. Their burnt ends are other worldly. My absolute favorite. A slight sweet but tangy outer layer that makes your eyes roll back in your head. The Pulled pork equally as good. The turkey...drum roll is the best in Fort Worth. The brisket has the perfect outer crust while maintaining a moistness. Finally the Texas Twinkie....a stuffed jalapenos with pimento cheese and wrapped in bacon cooked in a BBQ sauce outer coating. Scrumptious! Damn, it's sooooo good. Here's where Hurtado rises above other BBQ's restaurants...(besides having great customer service) is their sides. The potato salad is Devine. Deliciously Devine. It has a little kick and is a mashed potato salad that is soooo dang flavorful. We literally almost fell out of our chairs when we tried the tater tot casserole. Unique in all the right ways. A MUST TRY! Green beans, cabbage, beans all BBQ staples and delicious in their own right. Their BBQ sauces, peach habanero, sweet n spicy and Aztec gold compliments the meats perfectly. I'm not a sauce kinda guy but was pleasantly surprised with theirs. The restaurant is small and they recently added more seating. It was packed with a nice flow of customers. Happy customers.

I follow the chef/owner on Instagram (@kafibbq), and the amount of effort and detail he puts into his craft has resulted in multiple return visits for me. This review is for my latest visit. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Kafi BBQ can be found in a shopping strip in Irving-Valley Ranch. Only opened Friday - Sunday, on my most recent Sunday visit around dinner time, Kafi was packed. The patrons were a great mix of families, BBQ lovers, and those looking for high quality Halal meats. Smoke was in the air. 1 Star. Service - The staff is super friendly and nice. Pro Tip - Go for lunch or before 6 before items are sold out. A few items were sold out on my most recent visit (my fault I arrived at 6:45) and the staff weren't aware of what was available, leading to some confusion, but they were so nice it didn't impact my meal. 1 Star. Food - By now, you've probably read or heard about Kafi's Wagyu Brisket. For me, I love following @kafibbq on Instagram so I can see what Salahodeen is cooking up. On this visit, it was the Brisket Sandwich. First off, the house baked bread roll is soft, but firm enough to hold Kafi's famous brisket on a pile of home made cole slaw and pickles. The result was one of the best BBQ sandwiches I've eaten. The bite was soft, smokey, crunchy, and tart (from the pickles). It was a special, and I'm not sure if Kafi will keep this on the menu, but I hope they do. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. It's pricey, but it's worth it. While the brisket is great, I suggest you follow them on Instagram to see what's cooking and plan your visit around the specialty items. 1 Star.
