    Dave's Hot Mozz 1 Piece
    Stephen M.

    I've heard all the hype about this place and was eager to try it when I saw it in a shopping plaza I was visiting. I went in thinking I was going to try several items but the prices were surprisingly high for what you get. I landed on getting some tenders and fries and a mozzarella stick that's seasoned similarly to their chicken. Wish I could say I loved this place but I thought it was okay. The only flavor I was getting from the flavor was a strong cumin presence. I like cumin but having three tenders coated in it didn't do too much for me. The mozzarella stick was actually more enjoyable than the chicken! Maybe I'll swing by and get a full order on those.

    Food was pretty good. I had it for the first time. Got 2 tender sandwich combo with a shake. The food was good, the shake was watery and melted so that was disappointing. The service also wasn't very good. UPDATE: I was sent this message after describing my entire experience. Nice I suppose, but they could have kept that. Will not return.

    Ordered takeout and was impressed! The food was well-seasoned and tasted really good. The chicken was cooked just right and the fries were perfectly crisp. The restaurant was steady with customers when I walked in, and my food was ready when I arrived! We'll definitely be back to try more.

    For Drake's birthday event, they were giving away a free chicken slider if you downloaded the app. I gotta say that the entire was fairly well organized. There was someone monitoring the line and had people waiting outside. It was also an easy event to do - just download their app and check out ur rewards coupon for it. When I called ahead to make sure they had stock, they actually picked up and told me the same thing. The food was pretty good! I got level hot for a chicken slider but it still wasn't spicy tbh. The honey and hot Dave sauce combo on the slider made it much more flavorful. The chunk of chicken was a generous portion. On their walls, it says if you leave a google or yelp review, you're eligible for a free milkshake.

    Got to try Dave's Hot Chicken when they were giving out free sliders for Drake Day - I enjoyed mine! It would've been $6.99 for this slider, which is a bit steep, as it's no bigger than a Chick Fil A sized sandwich, maybe even a hair smaller. Despite how expensive it normally would've been, it was definitely very tasty! I got medium spice which was perfect - just the right amount of kick and it was seasoned all over. Coleslaw that's in the sandwich is pretty standard, nothing special. I would be interested in checking out some other menu items, but it is a bit expensive for what it is Parking here is free but it can get a bit crowded

    Food I like how simple their menu is. It's easy and straight to the point. I get the Dave's #3 so I could try a tender and a slider both in extra hot. It has good amount of heat. The tender is a decent size and has slaw, pickles, and sauce. The fries are well fried and go well with their sauce. Service Kind people with a welcoming presence Ambiance Small shop with some seating inside. Super casual

    So if you want a hot chicken spot, this would be a place to check out. It's not super fancy. As far as the menu being expensive, it's pretty basic. You get sliders or strips. I sent a shopping center so there's free parking. There's a lot of parking as well but sometimes it does get crowded. You order your food at the register and then they'll give you a device that lets you know when your food is ready. The last time I went it took at least 15 to 20 minutes to get my sliders. I don't know what was going on or why it took so long, but it was really strange the fact that sliders and fries took that long. Two slider combo (hot) - The slider and fries were pretty good. The sliders meat was basically chicken tenders which didn't even fit in the bun l So you really had to go ahead and break some of it off to make it fit. But that's okay, I'd rather have more tender than less. My hot was good. It wasn't too overbearing and it did give you a little slight sniffle but nothing crazy. It came with fries which came hot in season. It also came with Dave's sauce. I'm not sure what it was but it had a little sweetness to it. Mac and cheese - The mac and cheese was okay. It wasn't like your auntie making it obviously LOL. But it was hot and creamy and had a pretty decent taste. I'll go back again. It's kind of like you get what you get. It's only tenders and tender sandwiches. But if you do like hot chicken, and you're in the area, it will be worth it.

    I've been on a hot chicken sandwich kick for years now and had to hit Dave's. Tennille helped us and she was absolutely a gem. She broke down the menu and was so incredibly friendly. Greeting everyone who came in and truly went above and beyond. She handled everything with care, attention to detail, and her personality just radiates. They do something different at this location because there was also another gentleman I interacted with and he was so sweet as well. The difference in service at this location vs the one in Buford is night and day difference. Food took a bit to come out but we were warned (appreciated that)and it was nice and hot. There is some seating inside but be warned the sun can beam straight onto your face.

    Friends wanted to try this spot as it's fairly new. And the crowd there definitely signified that this place is worth a try around lunch time on a nice, humid Saturday. The hubs ordered the hottest flavor (reaper), and he said the employees gave him a shocked look. I don't think a lot of people order this I suppose. He had to sign a waiver too. He was toughing through it while we were eating. And the aftermath with the digestion part was interesting. Let me just say that's what he told me. Both parts of the experience was painful. Let's just put it at that. We weren't super hungry after pickle ball so we shared Dave's # 2 which is two sliders with fries. Surprisingly we were able to each choose a different spice level. My choice of the medium was perfect. I'm a wuss with spice, and medium wasn't even that noticeable. Most of the group ordered the hot and extra hot level, and they enjoyed their sandwich enough. Though they were called sliders, they were a pretty sizable portion. Because when you think of sliders, you'd imagine something small and could be inhaled in like 3 bites. The chicken piece was juicy and plump. I really enjoy the flavors and all its messiness. The pickles were a nice plus on the side! Even a family nearby commented about the size of the sandwich so it's not really a slider portion but closer to a sandwich size that's just a smidge smaller. The fries were surprisingly crispy and full of flavor. Dipping it in Dave's sauce made it even better. Now I'm particular about my fries. And when I see crinkle fries, I always think it'd be soggy or lackluster in flavor. These were not such. They were crunchy with a kick of flavor with its seasoning. They were well flavored and delightful as fries should be!

    This weeks adventure was a calorie bomb. We decided to try Dave's hot chicken. This is a no frills - fried stuff only place. Don't come here if you're watching your waistline or looking for a salad. I ordered the #3 with fries with medium heat. The fries were excellent; the medium wasn't very spicy and the spice was more of a dry rub than a wet sauce. I'm Also told that the chicken is Halal certified if that's important for you. There is some seating along a narrow hallway; nothing seats more than 2 people. They also have outdoor options if you don't mind the Atlanta heat. Consensus: I'd come again. Next time, I'd opt for more heat on the slider.

    Keeping this short and real--I've been on a chicken tender kick lately, trying out all the hot chicken and tender spots I can find. Dave's Hot Chicken has been all over the internet, so I had to see what the hype was about. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to it for me. Just two days earlier, I had Raising Cane's and the food was served piping hot and super fresh. In comparison, Dave's chicken wasn't fresh at all--it had a gummy texture, and the flavor just didn't hit. I barely tasted any seasoning, unless that slightly burnt cayenne flavor was supposed to be it. The chicken was okay overall, but I'm clearly not a fan of their seasoning blend. The mac was decent, and the fries were your standard crinkle cuts--nothing special. Also, for a place that specializes in spicy tenders, offering only honey mustard instead of a zesty ranch or something complementary? That's definitely a missed opportunity. If you're curious, give them a try--they're popular for a reason. But personally, it just wasn't for me.

    One of the best for chickens in town. The best part is they offer halal. The price is also quite reasonable.

However, after recently moving over this way and it being on my route home, I opted to try it. It's a stand alone place that is similar to Checkers style of serving: drive through and walk-up (no indoors dining). Their menu is simple: chicken, fries, coleslaw and garlic bread. Soooo, the good: the sweet tea, dipping sauce and coleslaw. The bad: the chicken, cost and wait time. Honest opinion: this is the redheaded stepchild to Raising Canes. It's a deviation from Zaxbys. Both Raising Canes and Guthries have basically tried to imitate Zaxbys. The only thing this place has on either is their dipping sauce (which also is very similar to Zaxbys). I paid $13 for 5 small chicken fingers. And they were small. Wasn't a fan of the batter either. Well, at least they tried. Makes zero sense to have this place near Zaxby's. Save your money and get the Wings N Things at Zaxby's. Ugh, I hate being disappointed when I try something new.

You'll come inside, mutation and order on the right-hand side where you see the neon sign, but when you go to the brewery itself, just know that there is free parking and there is plenty of parking at the facility. You'll use the kiosk, and then you'll get a text message when your food is ready, and you can walk around freely until that happens. There's only one person there, and they're actually behind there stacking the food up to be picked up, so don't expect somebody to keep bringing food to you. Hot chicken sandwich - the sandwich was good, but typically the sandwiches are already pretty decent anyway. I got mine hot, but it wasn't like it was overly hot whatsoever. It had a nice little kick to it, but I could have gone further, but it was still a good sandwich. Brussel sprouts - the Brussels sprouts were okay, but I probably would not get them again. They didn't taste like they were seasoned at all, or very well. I mean, maybe a pinch of salt, but barely that. In the cup, you only got like six half pieces of Brussels sprouts. For paying almost $5 to get three full Brussels sprouts, that wasn't really worth it to me. Tater tots - the tater tots were really good, and they got quite a bit of them. They didn't come with anything, so you can get what you wanted as far as a condiment goes, but they were super hot and super crispy. Chicken tenders - so these are basically like chicken bites or chicken nuggets, I guess, and you can get them tossed in whatever sauce you want. I got mine with the hot lemon pepper variation. It was really good, but at the same time I probably should have picked one instead of the mix of it. With the hot lemon pepper situation, it was basically like lemon pepper and buffalo, but all you really tasted was buffalo, because the buffalo is so powerful you really don't taste anything else. Overall, I have no issue with this spot. It's really a good vibe if you're trying to watch a game or something along those lines, and this is the closest chicken spot to me like this, so I probably will continue to go.
