    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.

    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.

    Extra hot slider
    Sarrang P.

    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.

    Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries
    Tiffany T.

    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.

    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 .

    Raw chicken
    Lula S.

    I have had daves hot chicken many times and its usually a fairly decent experience however: this most recent time we received raw chicken tenders and my nieces and nephews had already eaten several pieces. The most unfortunate part is that when you call in to the restaurant, you aren't able to speak to a person and the automated system says the kitchen can be busy and to go online to reach a rep. Then from there you have to fill out a contact form in order to relay the info. My guess is that the tenders were not fried long enough allowing portions of the thicker strips to be undercooked and very very raw. I hope the kids don't get sick.

    Mild sliders w/mac & cheese
    Venus C.

    Dave's has a special place in my heart!! I have visited an embarrassing amount of times and each time is more amazing than the previous. A friend suggested using the honey provided over the chicken. It didn't make sense to me with so many flavors going on but totally works. I hate I didn't learn this trick early on! My go to is the #3 combo with a tender & slider with cheese. I always get mild and have recently started substituting the fries for mac & cheese. The chicken is huge and I always have leftovers. The chicken reheats wonderfully!! Highly recommend!

    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.

    Excellent food and service. Atmosphere is different and cool. Best fried chicken I've ever had…read more Loved it since the first time I went and I don't each much chicken. This place is phenomenal. We ordered dessert for the first time. Pies are NO good. I will say - we didn't love it. In fact, the peach cobbler was very disappointing. Zero flavor at all. Shortcake and coconut were better but nothing amazing. Quickly regretted asking for it. Will not have it again. Definitely not the cherry on top. We'll stick to the amazing chicken and sides and then call it a day.

    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.

    First of all, I want to give a glowing review of the impeccable service that was provided to us by…read moreSonny. He checked on us often to make sure we had enough of the unlimited veggies and sauces. He chatted with us and constantly cleared our empty plates. He was the only server, but he was able to take amazing care of every table. He gladly changed the channel so we could watch the hockey playoffs and had us stand in front of the Japanese cherry blossom wall so he could take pictures of us on my phone. 5 out of 5 service It is a beautiful spacious restaurant with booth seating and counter seating (there is also a private room with a tv and a Shabu table set for 20). The tables are already set with plates, utensils, and pots with water and seaweed (kombu) 4 out of 5 for decor and ambiance I wish I could have liked the food more, but here's my honest opinion. I paid extra for spicy miso broth (I think an extra $2.50). They mix spicy miso paste into the water that is already boiling at your table. Even with hot drops, it was disappointingly bland. There are 3 dipping sauces: garlic teriyaki, ponzu (surprisingly sweet which I didn't enjoy), and peanut sauce (again bland). Nice that the sauces are unlimited, too bad they're not delicious tho. There were many choices of meat. I chose choice ribeye. You order by the ounce here so I ordered 8oz. High quality meat for the price. They give you a really small plate of veggies to start, but then if you ask for more (it's unlimited) they give you a giant bowl of spinach, tofu, carrots, mushroom, cabbage, and broccoli. You're also given white rice and your choice of noodle. I chose ramen, but it wasn't your usual ramen noodle. It was a tiny bowl with a handful of super thin noodles that took a long time to cook. 3 out of 5 for food Would I come back here? Yes! There aren't any other Japanese shabu restaurants around AND Sonny was awesome!
