    Who would have thought that I would be blown away by Fried Chicken as fast food and fried chicken usually is not part of my diet. We arrived to town a bit late and tried to go to two differences placed and they were closed so ended up here. There were a strong scent of Cummins as we walked in and took me by surprise. I personally don't care much for the spice but since we were hungry and not too many options left I opted in for a single sandwich ( you can get a double) Wow, the crunch, the flavor, the juiciness...overal it was a rave to my family and friends while I was eating and finger licking...yum. So yes Dave's did it and darn good Hot Chicken... Ample outdoor seating as well as indoor...hip vibe.

    I really want to like this place more, but after trying it several times, I feel like I am here for the ambiance and not the food. I always have a great experience as far as customer service and attention go. The ambiance is fantastic and each location has such a great vibe, but the chicken with spice is too gritty, a texture preference in my part. Without the spice, it's lacking flavor. Everything is cooked to perfection, but I want the flavor without the grit. A great place for most people, just not my chicken sandwich of choice.

    Chicken slider & fries

    It was my first time going, and I got the chicken slider and fries. The chicken was a bit burnt so it was dry. However, I loved that they give the Dave's sauce and honey on the side for me to add on to my sandwich. I've always loved everything with a LOT of sauce so I enjoyed that and thought the sauce and the honey went really well with the spicy chicken. I was disappointed by the fries. The portion was very small and not worth $4. They were crispy but perhaps too crispy -- I prefer the inside to be soft. Since I wasn't very impressed with the food I ordered, I don't think I'd return to this place.

    I like everything about this spot except my fries were cold. That Sammy though! Piping hot and super flavorful. Heat range from mild to Reaper. The bun is sweet like the Hawaiian rolls... perfect with the spicy chicken. But those fries. I got it to go to checkout the care... meh. Calvin was very good helping with the order process and when there was a line 3 deep, he called for backup. The ice tea is very good... at least the peach was. Nice people, good food,clean... can't ask for more... well, hot fries would have been cool.

    Dave's Hot Chicken has really solid chicken sandwiches. They're super crispy, but still have a thick piece of chicken, which is the best of both worlds for me. The staff at this location are really nice and service is pretty fast. The space is well decorated in colorful paintings and drawings on the walls. They also have a convenient order status screen right above the drink station so you can keep track of your order. I tried the extra hot previously and wasn't impressed with the spiciness so I got the reaper slider this time. They will have you sign a waiver for the reaper flavor and that should have been my sign right there. The extra hot flavor was honestly a let down. It was not spicy at all, I would say maybe a 5/10 on spice level, so I was expecting the reaper to be all bark and no bite. Boy was I wrong!! I can confirm the reaper lives up to its name. I will say the jump from the extra hot (the level right below the reaper) to the reaper is a bit diabolical. The timid spice level of the extra hot made me think the reaper wouldn't be that spicy at all. Even though the extra hot slider wasn't that spicy I still enjoyed it, but the reaper was painful to eat. After trying the reaper, I will happily take the extra hot slider with zero complaints on the spicy level. The slider itself, spice level aside, is really delicious. The bread is super soft and pillowy and the pickles give the sandwich a perfect refreshing crunch.

    First time coming here and it did not disappoint! The restaurant was clean and the service was really great too. We didn't have to wait long for our food at all and it was super fresh when it came out. It was a smaller chicken sandwich than other similar restaurants near by. I also wish they used a chicken breast on their sandwiches, and not just one tender, as there was extra bread. However, the flavor was really good. I had the medium heat and it was great. I think next time I would get hot because I wanted more spice. The chicken was tender. The fries were crisp and seasoned well. The sauce they had to dip your fries in was excellent as well. The pickles were some of the best pickles and I loved them. They were so crisp! Good experience and would definitely come back while in the area. I do feel that their competitor in Lehi is the best but this is second place for me!

    We went back for some tenders and sliders, and were not disappointed. Consistent and delicious. Took some photos this time. We were lucky to get Chill Will helping us again. He's the biz. The medium spice was perfect again, and the new person I brought with us also really enjoyed their slider/tender. We had to wait just a minute or two for a table, but people noticed us and cleaned up and left so we could sit. The are also outside tables available. TIp: Don't worry...the water button on the soda machine _is_ going to pop back out...it just takes a second. PS...I don't know if the review about "uncooked bread" is a joke or not, but it gave me a little chuckle. My bread was toasted, but either way I think I'll ask for no bread in the future (if it's allowed). I don't eat it, and I don't love wasting it. Thanks for another excellent meal. May you live forever, Dave's!

    Bro if you haven't been to Dave's Hot Chicken - you haven't lived. The choice of spice level makes your chicken absolutely customizable. Don't like spice? They've got chicken for you? Love spice? They've got chicken for you. Dave's has it all. The French fries are so perfectly crisp and seasoned. Whatever the sauce is with the fries is basically to die for. The employees are super knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant and the spice levels - I trust them to never lead me astray. The vibe here is busy because the chicken is to die for. If you know what's good for you, you'll be there soon.

    The food is good. i come here quite often... everyone is great for the most part. but 99% of the time when a girl named maddy is working she is extremely snotty.

We loved the beet dip and the muhammara. The pita is so soft! The fried cauliflower is a must. I could've eaten it all myself. The Lebanese platter was SCRUMPTIOUS. The rice and lentils and the lemony tahini sauce were a hit!! We got the Kafta and found it to be deliciously spiced and a great pairing. The shakshuka was a tad sweet for our liking and we found the ratio of tomato sauce to eggs was a little much. We will definitely be returning!! What a treat this place is

We started with the fried cauliflower and zaatar fries, both served with an incredible dipping sauce that disappeared embarrassingly fast. The cauliflower was perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, tender inside, and honestly good enough to order again on its own. For my meal, I ordered the shakshuka. It arrived bubbling hot in a cast iron skillet with rich tomato sauce, flavorful meatballs, perfectly baked eggs, and warm grilled pita for scooping up every last bite. I've had shakshuka before, and this was easily one of the best versions I've tasted. Every bite was comforting, hearty, and packed with flavor. Spud went with a Laziz salad alongside another helping of the roasted cauliflower, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Everything that came to the table looked thoughtfully prepared, fresh, and beautifully presented. What made the experience truly memorable, though, was our waitress, Omri. As a Deaf customer, it's always a pleasant surprise when someone can communicate directly in sign language. Omri signed with us, made us feel genuinely welcome, and provided exceptional service from beginning to end. That personal connection meant a great deal to me, and it absolutely elevated an already wonderful meal. I was so impressed that I happily double-tipped her. Great food, warm hospitality, and an experience my son and I will both remember. We'll definitely be back.

I like it all and actively look for fried chicken wherever I am It's with this fried chicken obsession in mind that I made a bee line to Houston Tx Hot Chicken which I found on Yelp. First let me say the design and aesthetic of this restaurant wins hands down; beautiful ins store imagery and signage. However, it all about the food! I ordered : 1) A classic chicken sandwich, mild sauce, combo (comes with fried and drink) And because I didn't want to miss out on their other sandwich...not like I'm here everyday ! 2) An original sandwich ( only) with mild sauce. 3) Mac and cheese for good measure This was a "linner" for me and frankly was hungry but also wanted to try as much of their offerings as possible. Whether it's the classic or the original, I didn't like either sandwich...the chicken of either sandwich wasn't crispy or moist, which I found strange considering both had a sauce. The adding of the sauce didn't help at all. I chose the mild and medium and were in spice/hot range that I was comfortable with. The fries were crispy and my favorite part of the meal. The Mac and cheese were sort of gummy and lacking in flavor (cheese flavor and salt). The service was friendly, helpful and fast but it's all about the food and I may never come back.
