    Food 4 STARS The Mini Sliders are so cute and tiny. The little sliders are yummy. Pickles, Dave's sauce and medium spiced chicken for me. It's such a pleasant surprise, treat and BITE! I came back twice because I was happy and full, but so satisfied. Staff is friendly. Ambiance is chill and laid back. Overall I had a pleasant experience. I had been driving by Dave's for months. I'm so glad I finally decided to stop and try. Now I'm a fan and will be back to try MORE!

    FOOD #1: 2 tenders with bread and fries I think overall the dish is pretty solid. Their spice levels are pretty tolerable and a medium wasn't that spicy. The flavor is a bit unevenly distributed so some sections are bland while others are well seasoned. The chicken is a pretty solid but I think I would've liked a bit more flavor throughout. Fries were tasty and everything tasted good with the sauce. VIBES This place is really spacious with several tables along the windows and a back area that's even more spacious. Plenty of seating and I love the interior decorations with the graffiti wall aesthetic! Seems like a fun place to hangout with friends! SERVICE Service pretty quick and no issues here!

    The store looks small from the outside but there is a ton of seating inside! I ordered the reaper slider and it was pretty good; spice-wise the levels seem to be less spicy compared to other places. Flavor-wise it was really good and I thought that the chicken was fried well. Overall an above average Nashville hot chicken sandwich to me but I thought that it was small for the steep price.

    Dave's Hot Chicken is tender and crispy! I ordered the small top-loaded fries, 10-piece Dave's Bites, and a spicy slider. The fries were perfect with the veggies and sauces -- not too thin or too thick, so they paired really well with all the toppings. I personally prefer the non-spicy chicken. It was tender, juicy, and crispy. The spicy chicken tasted more like fajita-style seasoning.

    My first visit to Dave's was very pleasant. Great customer service and the chicken was super, crisp, well seasoned and spicy. Wow wow... I truly enjoyed my meal and the service in-store. They have an area on the side and also an outside patio where guest can eat. I will be back.

    They are really quick and efficient! After ordering our food was ready within 5 minutes. It came out really crispy. I got the #3 which is the slider & tender with fries combo. It was good but next time I would just get the #2 for more bang for my buck.

    Spacious with tons of seating inside and outside. I got to try the extra hot slider and it was delicious! The seasoning is perfect and since it was a slider I thought it had the perfect amount of heat! The bun is sweet like a brioche bread so I thought it paired very well with the massive tender. Service was good and everyone was friendly and helpful. The food comes out very fast too and it's easy to order on the app for pickup.

    First time coming here and last. The chicken was bland , had the mild sauce with Cajun fries and ranch. Only reason I came here was because of the hype. Should have saved my money and spent it else where. The service was great, just the food needed help.

    Show me what you got Dave! This is only my second hot chicken experience since the Nashville hot swept the nation. They bill their sandwich as a slider. Seems a little larger than that to me. I was really looking for a huge fat juicy oversized crunchy spicy breast on a toasted bun with the heat foiled by some Cole slaw . That's not this sandwich. Although it's probably all I needed. The standard crinkle cuts are serviceable as is the sauce and pickles. I'm not screaming to come back but,rounded up to 4. Go, if you're in the area .

    VERY GOOD!! Made upon ordering, and the portions are good for two. I only wish they had Rootbeer, to go with the good heat of the chicken.

    Do they have drive thru?

    It's a walk in establishment, no drive thru

    Do they have ranch?

    No, they have Daves Sauce. It's creamy like ranch but different. Still really good.

    Great family dining experience. Staff was super welcoming and friendly. Food was delicious as I…read moreremembered it. They let you pick your protein and they have endless sides that come to your table.

    It had been years since my last visit here and I remembered really enjoying it the first time…read more Unfortunately, this return visit got off to a rocky start. When I arrived, I was waiting on two family members who were about 10 minutes away, so I went ahead to put our name in. The hostess told me I could go right in, which made it seem like a table was ready, but she never took my name or wrote anything down. After I explained I was waiting for two others, she said "okay" and then started taking names and numbers from other parties, leaving me off to the side without her saying anything else. It was odd, so I sat down. After sitting for maybe 5-7 minutes, I noticed she was taking names for parties of 2 and 3, which was confusing. When I asked about it, she said she already had my party and name even though she had never taken it. At that point, it felt like the Chinese restaurant episode of Seinfeld, where somehow you're waiting but also not really on the list. She finally took my name for a party of three and quoted a 30-45 minute wait, without accounting for the time already lost. My family members arrived shortly after, and we still waited another 20 minutes or so. Once we were seated, the service didn't improve much. Our server was extremely slow, and everything came out at once. We barely had time to get drinks, salads, or biscuits before the food arrived. Refills and additional requests felt more burdensome than attentive. While the food and drinks themselves were great, the overall service felt very disorganized and subpar.

    Very good food I love it…read moreService is fast Friendly staff Come and get chicken and fries

    I really wanted to try this place but after placing an online order for the family and then waiting…read more20 mins in the restaurant- only to be told that they are an hour behind. We wait another 25 mins and are THEN told that they cancelled our order and will refund us. Really?? Just like that? No offer to give us a beverage for all of our time and energy we just wasted? Contacted customer service to see if they could make it "right" and all we got was a "we are working on improving" really? I bet they tossed out a ton of food that day; when they could have just given it to us while we were waiting -- like hey" what did you order?" Me" 4 sandwiches, 4 drinks and 4 sides " - them" ok , here you go- Bye!" ! What a waste. The entire episode was ridiculous and we were very hungry! The young ladies behind the counter were overwhelmed and looked clueless as they called out names for walk-in orders, yet nobody showed up to picked them up. Meanwhile the rest of us were standing around looking like idiots for nearly an hour waiting for our online order. So serving people inside took precedence and online customers were relegated to some odd combo of a numeric code and guest order code on a display screen. Some had codes and partial names. Nobody in the crowd understood the code/code & name/code. It was a big guessing game. Why didn't someone take charge? I could have gone behind the counter and filled orders faster for online with whatever was left for those who didn't pick up in house orders! And don't get me started on the mounds of chicken just sitting under the lights waiting to be packaged up! The entire scene was like an I Love Lucy episode with the chocolates loading up the packaging ramp and no customers were able to eat
