    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

He recommended the Holy Shitake pie and we added half of the great white and let me tell you that recommendation was on point. I went again and had the super pepp and the pacific rim and they were awesome too, but the Holy Shitake takes the number 1 right now. We'll be back to try the rest of the combinations for sure! Thumbs up for the cold beer!!!

If I had to pick favorites, it would be the Steak & Cheese or my build‑your‑own with cheese, ground beef, pineapple, and onions, or the meat‑lover option calzone...honestly, they're all winners. This time, I went in planning to order The Elevated Cobb, but after walking past all the amazing‑smelling pizza, we changed course and got a medium Mighty Meaty pizza which has mellow red sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, honey ham, applewood-smoked bacon, mozzarella.. It was absolutely delicious and totally worth the switch. I can't recommend this place enough--if you're thinking about coming here, do it. You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely loved it The guy at the front was on point the whole time. Even coming in right after the lunch rush, he made sure everything stayed clean and organized while still taking care of customers. That kind of attention to detail does not go unnoticed They were out of the sweet teas (I was hurt a little bit ), but overall the experience was still really good. Now let's get into the food because you already know that's what we're here for The chicken empanadas? Delicious. No complaints. The Cuban sandwich? It was good... but I'm gonna keep it real like I always do. The meat was flavorful, but it could've been more evenly distributed, and it didn't have that crispy bread texture I look for. Overall, it just didn't hit that top-tier level for me. So for this location: 8/10 Still a solid experience, still worth the visit -- but as of right now, the Wesley Chapel location is still holding that 10/10 crown And you already know I'm not done... Valrico, I'm coming next. That's Just How Life Goes... and of course, Just How Food Goes

In a somewhat run down looking strip mall, the small restaurant was simple, but showing K-music videos on a TV. Unfortunately I couldn't see it from my seat, but I'll change that next visit! Our server was polite, helpful, and attentive. We ordered a ridiculous amount of food since we drove 45m to try it, so had a Kimchi Pajeon, Kimbap, Soon Tofu, and Veggie Fried Rice. The pancake was DELICIOUS-super flavorful and chock full of veggies. I did not care for the Kimbap, only because it had less flavor and was a little more dry than the other items, but it tasted very fresh. The Soon Tofu was spicy and full of flavor. It came with a huge heaping of rice in a cute covered dish to keep it hot - I'm ordering these things for home! The veggie fried rice, for which we opted no egg, was also fantastic, but we ended up taking ,ost of it and the pancake home for leftovers. We were also served Ban Chan - side dishes, of small tastes of seasoned veggies such as bean sprouts, eggplant, cucumbers, broccoli, radish, and more. It was all amazing. Sadly, we had no room for anything else, but I will definitely be back as soon as possible. SO worth the drive and expense!

They were also out of the crab egg roll, out of sweet tea, and out of lettuce in which we like to wrap the bulgogi. We ordered mandu, it was good but a little bit doughy because of the wrap they use, not as crispy as we would expect. I ordered the dolsot bibimbop. Mine came out first and was sizzling hot. No complaints, the egg had a runny yolk which means it was not overcooked like many I have had in the past. The bibimbop sauce is delicious with just the right amount of kick. Waitress brought out banchans, there were six different types, pickled eggplant, nori, broccoli, kimchi, bean sprouts, and cucumbers. Son ordered pork bulgogi. The plate was heaping with pork, and the sauce was nice and thick and stuck to the pork. Spouse ordered beef bulgogi and it took about 10 minutes for his to come out after our son and I had our meals. The plate was heaping, but spouse said the beef was a little bland, but some of the bibimbop sauce took care that. Son and spouse took leftovers with them. We were kind of disappointed in the items they did not have, but the lady waiting on us was nice and we realize they are a small business and when things are busy, it is easy to run out. The interior was a little dark, did not go to the restroom so cannot comment on the cleanliness but what we did see looked clean.
