    Interior dining at Dave's Hot Chicken in Riverview
    Karen V.

    It was my very first time visiting Dave's Hot Chicken. I have to say that I was quite impressed with the taste and quality of the chicken. The service was really good at this location. In all fairness, it had just opened for lunch so I don't know how it usually is when it's super busy. This was a dine-in experience. The graffiti art décor keeps it cool & casual. The ordering process is easier than other fast-casual restaurants that rely on a number placed at the table. Here, you're given a buzzer. I didn't have to wait too long for the shake. It was received right after the order was placed. I love the top loaded cereal ones! You get your choice of a vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. I chose vanilla with fruity pebbles. Loved it! The hot chicken bites were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's a very generous portion. These are bigger than bites. The medium spice wasn't spicy to me, and I don't have a high tolerance to heat. I don't know if it was toned down, or if they actually gave me mild. Either way, it was still very tasty. I'll order hot next time just for comparison. The crinkle-cut fries are automatically seasoned by default. I didn't realize it at the time, but there is an option to get them unseasoned. The meal comes with a slice of bread, pickles, and Dave's sauce for dipping. I'd get the same thing again, only I would split it with someone. I'm not sure if there's an option for a 5 bite meal. The price of the meal was high due to the addition of the shake, but the chicken portion makes up for that. Honestly though, the halal chicken price is pretty much on par with other restaurants that serve it with this designation. There will be more visits in the future. I'm looking forward to trying the sandwich next time.

    First time visit at Dave's and Isaac made ordering a breeze. This is a fun & family friendly environment with plenty of seating. We ordered sliders, wings, macN cheese to start with varying levels of spice to try them out. The chicken sizes are very generous! Like huuuuge tenders! Good flavor on everything we tried. If you have good spice tolerance, choose something higher than medium. The chicken was all juicy and flavorful. The spices are nice and subtle (not overpowering). Parking is limited but there is a more angled parking if you can navigate around the crowded drive through line! Definitely going to try their slush and shakes before we go!

    Ordered via DoorDash and everything was packaged perfectly. They even included the honey and napkins I requested. The chicken was crunchy and based on the color of it I expected an explosion of flavor however, that was not the case. The chicken alone was basically flavorless. The coleslaw, pickles and sauce included helped for this sandwich to not be a total miss. Upon getting into the middle of the sandwich I got some of the medium hot seasoning. It was delicious and the honey on that gave it an extra something for fans of sweet and savory flavors. The fries were crispy but lacked in flavor as well. As others have mentioned a drink is not included with your meal. I would like to give this place another shot by ordering in person and possibly asking for some extra seasoning on the side because the flavor profile is amazing on the bites that had the seasoning.

    Finally got a chance try this place out. Mainly wanted to see what the prices were like and it did seem to be on the pricier side in my opinion. The food itself was really good and flavorful. They offered extra sauce and honey packets and the service was pretty good. We went through the drive through so didn't get a chance to check out the dining area. We'll have to check it out again some other time.

    Dave's Hot Chicken - Riverview was a great first-time experience. We visited the Riverview location that opened a few months ago, and it wasn't crowded at all. Service was quick, and our food came out fast. We ordered a two-tenders meal and a one tender & slider meal, one mild and one medium heat. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, exactly how hot chicken should be. The dry rub is applied generously, and the fries are heavily seasoned, so expect bold flavors across the board. The medium heat was perfect--definitely spicy, but still enjoyable and not overpowering. The restaurant itself was very clean, which always makes a difference. Overall, everything from the food to the service was great. We'll definitely be back.

    This spicy chicken was straight fire. Been craving this flavor forever. Tastes just like those boneless chicken strips back home, so good.

    This was our first time here. I ordered Combo #1, which was 2 tenders w/ fries (medium spice level). Hubby ordered Combo #2, 2 chicken sliders (extra hot) w/ fries. We also got top loaded fries (Hot). I ordered a Vanilla Oreo top loaded shake, which was incredibly delicious!!! I want to go back here just for the shake! That vanilla ice cream was so sweet & creamy & very vanila-ey (that's a word right??). Ok, I'll focus on the chicken spice levels now. The extra hot was WAY too spicy for me. I wish I hadn't eaten that one first. Hubby has a higher spice tolerance so he didn't think it was bad. I really liked the hot & medium spice levels. I LOVE their fries! They're crinkle fries, which are my favorite type of fries. The crispiness of the chicken was excellent. The decor inside was cool. Service was good. I would def come back.

    The food was great! Chicken servings were large. I didn't check out menu before I came so I didn't know what to expect. It's pretty much only chicken tenders. No bone in chicken. I got the chicken sliders meal. It comes with two sliders. I thought they'd be small. You can choose different levels of spice for each slider. Medium is not spicy at all. Flavor was good. I would recommend mild for anyone looking for just a bit of more flavor but cannot handle spicy. You can get no spice. My kids liked it. Chicken quality was great. I would say my slider was similar to Chick-fil-A but better since the chicken was larger. Dave's sauce is delicious. Fries are crispy and delicious. They taste great dipped in Dave's sauce. Compared to Crossroads Hot Chicken, it's so different I cannot compare. Isaac helped us order. Excellent and friendly service. Parking lot is a bit tight. It's hard to get to the side parking since those in the drive through line pretty much block the one way street for our large vehicle. Inside has some wall benches and metal chairs. Even though it was a bit busy inside we were able to find seating without any problem. It took me about 25 minutes to get here but it was well worth the trip to try out something new for us. We will be back!

    I had heard a lot about DHC from food reviews on YouTube and had high expectations. Finally got the chance to stop by with a buddy, and we were not disappointed! We got a sampler to try as much as possible and thoroughly enjoyed it all. Awesome flavor, well prepared. Will be back as much as possible!

    100% making it onto my favorites list. His place had an amazing hot chicken sandwich! I ordered just the regular hot and it was pretty spicy. That's coming from a spicy lover lol! Perfectly cooked nice and juicy and the pickles are spot on! Even down to the fries, nice and crispy and seasoned to perfection! You are definitely gonna see me checking in here a lot! 10/10

    New, locally owned (!) chicken place. Being a standout in the chicken world can be a challenge, but this is standout good! Service was helpful and friendly. Cool graffiti art inside. Scale of hotness is accurate. My lite mild was perfect for me. My son got medium and he said it was solid. I really like the kale slaw on the slider. Pickles are tasty, Dave's sauce is too. Standard drinks plus frozen and boba options. Big portions! We will be back - highly recommend.

    Great location in Riverview! The best part is they have a drive thru. I will definitely be a regular here.

    Dave's Hot Chicken just opened in Riverview off Big Bend Rd and let me tell you it's everything we didn't know we were missing! The chicken is next-level delicious, perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. You can taste the quality in every bite, and the spice levels are spot-on whether you're in the mood for mild or want to go full Reaper. What really made the experience even better was the service. The owner was on-site, checking in with customers and making sure everything was perfect. You can tell there's real pride in what they're serving, and it shows, from the fresh food to the friendly, welcoming vibe. This place is going to be a go-to in Riverview. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and try it. You'll be hooked after the first bite! Have patience with them as they work out the kinks. The soda machine was out of some flavors and ice when we were there. But all understandable seeing how busy they have been since opening.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and friendly welcome from the owner. The store was very clean, organized, and well laid out, with a great selection of Middle Eastern foods, spices, condiments, meats, fresh produce, and more. There's also a fresh meat section in the back. I purchased a whole chicken and asked the butcher if he could cut it up for me, and he gladly did--excellent service! Then I discovered the restaurant in the back. The menu looked so good that I couldn't leave without trying something. I ordered a family-style platter to take home, and it was a HIT. For $48, we received three different meats, rice, beautifully grilled vegetables, homemade hummus, pita, and sauce. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The best part? The platter was more than enough to feed my family of five. For the quality, quantity, and price, you really can't beat it. Great food, great service, a clean market, and excellent value. I will definitely be back!

I ordered a gyro pita and side Greek salad to share with my wife and it was outstanding. When I eat their food I think "fresh ingredients." The gyro is stacked and is definitely a favorite of ours.

Nothing extraordinary, but good flavor, and generous portions. I'll definitely eat here or order from them again!
