    Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries
    Stephanie A.

    The food tastes great but if you order food to go you need to check that it's correct before leaving. We've ordered to go twice and both times our orders are not all the way correct. First time the spice levels were not matching what we ordered and second time we payed extra for cheese fries and cheese on our sliders and did not get any cheese. Other than that the food tastes great, the fries are crispy but soft on the inside and chicken has always been juicy and a nice large piece for the sliders.

    I wasn't super hungry so I just ordered a slider. It was fresh, hot and crispy, with a nice bun. There's some heat, but not too much. Service was friendly. I'll go back to try some more of the menu.

    This was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken in Greensboro, and I was really impressed! The aesthetic vibe inside is super cool and modern, and the staff was friendly from the moment I walked in. My food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor -- I really can't complain about anything on the menu. Parking is a little tight since it's in a busy area, and getting there was a bit confusing at first, but it's clearly a popular spot. Because it stays packed, I wouldn't recommend it for a larger group (probably not ideal for parties over five), but for a quick meal or a small hangout, it's perfect. I'll definitely be coming back!

    The abundance of fried chicken joints that have opened particularly in Greensboro and High Point lately is, in a word, insane. The hype for the opening of these places is even more crazy to me. Y'all act like you've never seen fried chicken before. Well, in fact, there has been plenty of wonderful fried chicken around here for a long long time. Whether you want that on the bone, off the bone, on a sandwich, handheld tendies, wings, whatever. It is here. The local people know fried chicken. So when Dave's Hot Chicken moved in along with a host of other "premium fast casual" chicken brands, I just decided I was going to wait for the lines and crowds to die down and get a more typical experience. So here I am, a little later to the party than most. Parking here is exceptionally limited, and some places will tow you. Know that before going. The inside of Dave's is colorful befitting their style, but otherwise, pretty basic. Tables are spaced way out, and there is a front patio with more. There is a clear bend toward take-out. Not for me, i want to eat mine fresh and hot. The menu is also not complex at all. Tenders, sliders, varying amounts. Combo meals. Some loaded fries, etc. They got chicken and taters, choose how you want your chicken and taters served up. I went for Dave's combo 3, that's a slider and a tender served with fries, some sauce, and pickles. I was warned in advance they do not play around with heat here, so I went medium. Glad I didn't go higher. It took way longer than I would expect to get my food given there were not many people waiting around, but it was acceptable and I got hot food, the most important thing. As to the chicken itself, it will BURN YOU OUT. That spice lingers in your mouth, almost coating it like cinnamon would. I gotta say, Glad I had some sauce kicking around because good lord. Both the tender and the cut in the slider were thick, juicy, HOT. Fries were golden and ok, but a little skimpy on portion. I'd say the same thing for all the accoutrements... barely any slaw at all on my slider and i would say it definitely needed it. All the spice on there does leave a dry mouth feel. Drinks... don't expect real tea here. It's that Gold Peak nonsense, which would be better off used as coolant. Not having real southern tea with friend chicken is a letdown around here. That is my second biggest point of improvement, other than more generous portions on slaw, fries, etc. I still prefer other local places that have been here much longer to Dave's, but I will say, if you are seeking the HOTTEST chicken around while still remaining juicy and don't mind the price premium, you won't be disappointed here.

    Walk up and order and pick up food at the counter. Cute place. They have heat choices ranging from No spice to Reaper with 5 levels in between. I'm the first to like spice. Love jalapeños, Franks, Tabasco. I thought hot would be good. Level 5 of 7. Uhm, WAY too hot. Couldn't taste food. Too overpowering for my taste. Chicken, slaw and pickles were good. If you think you like hot, still beware! My tween daughter also loves hot. She was not able to eat it. Order on the side of too mild! Restaurant feedback - have some sort of "level" gauge of the heat for consumers.

    My kids love the chicken here and I tried it for the first time and wasn't disappointed. The chicken sliders were feast. The meat was tender, juicy and fresh making it really flavorful. The service was quick and easy and I understand the hype around the place. Good food, service and ambiance. Highly recommended.

    I'm a big fan of their app. The restaurant tends to be busy and always have a line...the app allows you to skip the line and works well. The chicken is consistent and unlike any I've had before. I was anticipating a "wet" chicken with a sauce and was intrigued by the fact that all the flavor is in the breading. The chicken has a great flavor and I find the medium heat to be easy to eat and full of flavor. The hot was good as well and is about as hot as I enjoy eating. I find that drizzling a bit of honey on the chicken gives a nice combo of sweet and spicy. Also, this visit I tried the coleslaw and found it to be a nice alternative to the fries...a mild flavor but a nice way to cut the heat and heaviness of the chicken.

    This franchise is relatively new to the city, but it's been packed ever since it opened. They have compact menu that doesn't overwhelm of quick chicken based meals at different levels of spice which you can choose to your liking. The staff works promptly and there are TWO order placing lines (which a lot more places should have) to keep things moving and your order is prepared rather quickly. The food is good, nothing too extravagant, which makes it perfect for an enjoyable lunch or a quick dinner stop. Only thing to worry about is the parking as it is in a rather compact location which can deter a visit during busy dining times. It's also got nice seating and speakers for outside dining when weather permits!

    Tried the 2 slider meal - and those sandwiches were no joke - crispy, juicy chicken with that signature spice kick, cooled down perfectly with the slaw and sauce. The sliders are big enough to feel like a full meal and the fries were hot and well-seasoned. Service was quick and friendly, even with a steady crowd. And the vibe is modern and fun. Ample seating inside and out. If you like your chicken spicy and crave-worthy, this spot delivers!

    This is my first time experiencing Dave's. The man assisting me was very helpful and kind. I let him know this was my first time and he told me about the spice levels. I got a #4 medium (sandwich and fries) and I think I could go up two more spice levels. The chicken portion is huge- I had leftovers and it reheated well. I will definitely be back. I think a good price for the portion size.

    THIS. THING. IS. MASSIVE! I'll get to that, but first... ...I rate fast food joints on a few basic things: customer service, cleanliness and is the food fresh and quick. This DHC location is solid in every category. To be perfectly transparent, this the only DHC location I've tried, so I don't have any comparisons (yet). We've been to this one a few times, and each and every time it did not disappoint. The lady who took our order was super friendly and had a big smile on her face. Can't say that for many fast food joints. The place was very clean as well. We noticed this even during the busy rush when the place just opened. Parking today was a breeze, especially since the crazy hectic first few months has died down. If you were there during these months, come back and try it again...open seating, no insane line, and parking is much easier. The picture speaks a thousand words: one of my sliders was HUGE! I think I needed 4 buns to house that puppy. Perfectly cooked, juicy and tender on the inside with great tasting breading and spices on the outside. Fries were hot and crispy, and the kale slaw side was freshly made. The price: I can see some people complaining about the higher price relevant to other fast food joints. My 2 slider combo with a side (no drink) was $15. Yep, pricy. But compare this to some other chicken joints that give you only 1 sandwich, a side and a drink for roughly $9-12...ok cheaper (for less food). For me, getting 2 gigantic sliders and a side that came out fresh, superb on taste, and in a clean establishment was worth it. And if you call these massive sandwiches "sliders" just like DHC does, don't kid yourself, you'll walk out of there stuffed. For some who don't have a ravenous appetite like myself, you could easily split a 2 slider combo with someone and be satisfied. $7.50 each doesn't sound half bad right? Want a smile upon walking in? A clean eatery? Hot, fresh and tasty food? Come to this specific DHC location and try it out.

    Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries: Medium heat level
    Mark D.

    Was a pleasant surprise to see a Dave's when driving around one day. Didn't go on this particular day because the line was all the way outside wrapped around the building. Patience is a virtue lol so I decided to try to wait on a day that hopefully the line wasn't that long. Went on a rainy Tuesday and it was perfect for me to be able to get in and not have to wait long. I was super hungry on this day that I went, so I got the combo that comes with the two sliders. I'm not a fan of slaw (aka coleslaw) at all, so I got them without it. The chicken was cooked to perfection. It was seasoned very well. On this day, I got the heat level at medium. It definitely has a kick to it. I like to feel the spice if you will when I want something hot and these are great. I sometimes will get mild as well if I want to tone it down a notch, depending on my flavor profile for the day. The bun was soft and fluffy. The service here was top-notch and very nice. I've been to some locations and other states where the service hasn't been the best, so it was great that that isn't the case here where I live. I definitely plan on coming back soon and on a pretty consistent basis to get this excellent meal and food from here.

    I came in on Saturday afternoon with my son to get a lunch. The parking and the inside were pretty crowded and this is counter service. We both ordered the slider and chicken strip (hot) with fries and a drink. The strip and the sandwich are good size so be hungry and I guess I should have gotten mild because....wow....I was puckering. The reason for the four stars is the fries were completely oversalted and seasoned to the point I could only eat a couple. Other than that, good stuff.

This is a Saltah (traditional Yemeni stew) with melt in your mouth lamb that came out piping hot and bubbling in a clay bowl (see vid). You can feel, hear, smell and taste the authenticity in this dish. Spices and flavors flowing all over. It comes out with an amazing garlic sauce and a Yemeni style green sauce, almost like a salsa. And if that wasn't enough, you get the biggest clay oven bread (a Yemeni Malawah) you have ever seen. Words don't do it justice, see pics for details. This is honestly the perfect edible shovel. Tear some off, scoop up some bubbling lamb and spices, then drag it through the garlic and green sauce. Get messy...flavor the authenticity this dish explodes with.

The BEST dates!! I grew up on pretty delicious dates my dad used to bulk order from a food cooperative, and I've had a hard time in the past several years finding decent dates - the standard U.S. pitted type are always horribly dry, and most others are too (and, yech, I can't stand those dry poopy pellet looking rolls covered in flour). I've looked all over town - including several other groceries of this genre - and been disappointed, until El Baraka! They don't always have a shipment in, but check in the glass case at the counter for the black box - those are the dates imported from Lebanon, I believe the proprietor said. For the juiciest dates I've ever had (they were literally oozing, and still on the stems!), $4/lb was an ultimate bargain. Lastly, this pesky pescatarian can't tell you much about the fresh meat counter, but the smells are good and it's all halal (that is, in accordance with Muslim law).

We took about (2) bites and spit it out. It tasted horrible. So disappointed, we ran over to El Baraka and bought (3) lbs. of chicken wings. They were stellar!!! We ended up giving away the whole chicken and chicken wings from Earth Fare. I have not bought ANY meat ANYWHERE else since.
