    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.

Now if you flip it over the wine list is extensive or decently extensive considering the fact that it's not a winery but you have a massive amount of options . Last time I was there I sat at the bar and Rob was super cool and really gave great customer service. No complaints about that . Brooklyn favorite Reuben - the Reuben was a really good sandwich. It came hot with melted cheese on there and sauerkraut and it was a hit. It came with fries but you can actually get a different side if you want. The Reuben sandwich was very good and very filling. It wasn't overly stacked like I'm used to back where I'm from but at the same time they definitely put a nice amount of meat on there so you won't be hungry after you finish. Avocado egg rolls - I tried the avocado egg rolls and they were okay but it's not my cup of tea. Personally I don't actually like avocado and it was pretty much 90% avocado inside there. At the same time it wasn't bad. If you like avocados then this is really gonna be your bag. It comes with a really sweet, maybe a teriyaki kind of sauce, but it's actually good and it helped. I'm just not a fan of that so I can't take that away from them. Lobster bisque - the Lobster Bites were okay. It tasted just like it was supposed to. It was still very lobstery and creamy so I have to give them that. It was pretty good. I only had a little bit but at the same time I thought it was good for what it was.

It's tucked away in a plaza with LA Fitness and a few other businesses, so I honestly wasn't expecting a restaurant like this to be in that plaza. We had reservations for 7 PM, and they seated us right away no waiting at all! Our server, Ian, was AMAZING! Honestly, probably one of the best servers I've ever had in all my dining experiences. I mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday, and he went out of his way to find some confetti and decorate our table. He was so knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great recommendations. Since we love doing family-style dinners, we ordered several dishes and shared everything. First up was the Tuna Tartare- SO GOOD! The tuna was incredibly fresh, and the seasoning was bomb. The chips that came with it were perfectly crisp and paired so well with the tuna.Next was the Lobster Lebeaux, which was another big hit! The lobster was juicy, tender, and cooked perfectly. We also ordered the Artichoke Hearts, which were really good. They were a little salty for my taste, but still delicious. For our entrées, we ordered three dishes and shared everything family-style. The Porterhouse Steak was absolutely delicious! It was so tender and flavorful it practically melted in your mouth. Not chewy at all! The Branzino was also delicious, and the mashed potatoes underneath were SO soft and creamy! You can definitely tell the chefs know what they're doing back there. Lastly, we had the Spaghetti. It was okay for me, but those meatballs?! Those were the real star! Honestly, I could've just ordered a plate of meatballs without the pasta. For sides, we got the corn, mushrooms, and asparagus. And OMG...the corn was the highlight of the night! I don't know what kind of butter they use, but whatever it is, THAT THANG WAS BOMB! And then came dessert...the Peanut Butter Pie! That Oreo crust with the peanut butter mousse filling was basically HEAVEN. One more thing I really loved was that the owner came out and personally spoke to every table and introduced himself. I thought that was such a nice touch and really showed how much he cares about the restaurant and his guests. Overall, we had such a great experience at Nowak! Great food, amazing service, and such a fun atmosphere. Now I really need to make my way over to his father's restaurant in Buckhead, Hal's Steakhouse!

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.

So I know that the wings had been sitting for a minute as well. They weren't bad but I know they could have been a lot better if they were more fresh. Shrimp - The shrimp were all right. They were maybe a little too. Well done but that wasn't the end of the world. I got tartar sauce cuz they don't have cocktail sauce there. And they were actually pretty big in size so that was good.
