    Sorry I'm not a huge fan of this location. We came here last Tuesday after Trivia down the road and were very hungry. We waited 25 minutes for two slider combo, which was .... okay. They were big pieces of chicken and the hot was pretty hot but for the price we would have loved a drink for our combo and for the food to come out slightly hotter.

    Second time at this venue thanks to its amazing customer service. We ordered their reaper hot level- combo #2 and I thought it was amazing! My bf thought it was a little too spicy and something in between extra spicy and reaper would have been ideal for the second highest level of spice. There wasn't much people dining in, but they had a lot of pick up orders. I would highly recommend ordering in person as it's much cheaper than ordering through third party apps. This venue operates really efficiently; my order was ready within 5 minutes!

    Simple and clear menu. Extremely clean space. Very friendly service and great hot chicken and fries to top it off. My husband and I grabbed two sliders and fries before leaving Toronto and were definitely pleased. We had mild and medium. The flavor was great and the spice matched the level. I had the Medium, but think I could have gone up to hot. The slaw on the sandwich was great, Dave's sauce added a little kick, and the fries were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Our order also came out really fast. This was an overall great experience.

    This is an absolute must try for everyone. When Dave's first arrived in Canada the hype was insane, but surprisingly I never got around to trying it until recently. Pro tip: Order pick up ahead of time so you don't have to stand in the lines outside I recommend getting the two slider combo, it is well worth it and much better than just the tender. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, and the fries were very good as well.

    Just stopped here for a lunch. Never been to a Dave's before. UNREAL! Actually good and spicy! The patio space upstairs was beautiful as well! I can't wait to come back

    A new addition to the neighbourhood that replaced long mainstay Stratengers. This is the first Nashville hot chicken spot in the hood and the signage out front definitely lets you know that! We stepped into Dave's Hot Chicken as curiosity got the better of us. The inside of the resturant is bright and white with some pop tunes playing over the speakers. There is a dining area on the main level and upstairs with cafeteria style tables and chairs. We ordered the 2 tenders with fries (upgraded to cheese fries) combo that also comes with a slice of white bread, pickles, and their Dave's sauce. They allowed us to pick a different heat level for each tender which I think is a good move. We only opted to sneak a little bit while in the restaurant before booking it home to really enjoy it. The chicken tenders were really juicy on the inside with that spicy heat powder on the outside. I really liked the crinkle cut fries but the extra dollar for the cheese wasn't really worth it. The pickles were absolutely needed bit of acidity between bites of the spicy chicken and cheesy fries. So the question I never answered myself was do you eat it like a sandwich or just graze amongst everything in the box????

    Pretty tasty! Fast service and I must say their fries are well seasoned. I am definitely a fan. Chicken slider was good. I do wonder though... How come one sandwich had one tender and the other had two? Was a bit put off but it was fine as I still enjoyed the sandwich. Mine was just smaller than the other. They have a lot of tables and dining. Even an upstairs which is pretty cool. Staff was okay, took our order fine. They also do delivery with food apps - you can't order online yourself though as you get redirected to the USA site. Overall would come back if I'm in the area.

    We always get their combo with the 2 burgers and we share the fries as the meal is pretty heavy. Everything is delicious, the chicken is so well seasoned, and they give you a spicy mayo dip you can dress your burg or dunk your fries. There's also a patio upstairs now (El Patio - not Dave's Hot Chicken) and the vibes are super chill, and you can grab drinks while nomming on your chicken burgs.

    Stopped here for a sandwich to take to the park and wasn't disappointed. They have a nice simple…read moresandwich menu with all of the classics. They're well packed with ingredients, and cut in 1/2 if you want to eat 1/2 and save the other for later. Cute deli decor. While it's mainly take out, there's a small counter to sit at if you can score a spot. Nice side options if you want to make it a meal (pop and chips). You won't go hungry here!

    Wowowow I'm so impressed…read more Lambo's Deli does sandwiches right. The moment I got my sandwich, I knew. From of the nostalgic paper bag. A sandwich that's packed TIGHT is packed right. No mess, no stress. That is serious business. The best part is, the ingredients taste so FRESH. As we were waiting, the friendly staff offered everyone free ice cream samples. It was 25°C sunny so it was much needed. No one refused! They're testing out flavours, so I think we will expect to see soft-serve ice cream on their menu in the near future! I got the Caprese sandwich and the fresh mozzarella was so refreshing! Geniusly, there was a layer of breadcrumbs added to my sandwich, which I found very humorous... b/c really? A bread byproduct inside of a sandwich? That was a first for me. But y'know what, the crunch element over the mozzarella was a really good pairing and it works! Also, the pesto was so fresh and good.. that I had pesto on my mind the next day and I just had to find something pesto for lunch again, the influence! Honestly, we did not have the intention of visiting Lambo's that day. We had walked past it on the way to another restaurant, but I remember this corner store with bold modern-80's decor caught my eye. After our original plans fell through, we stumbled back to this street corner which turned out to be a fantastic accident because we wound up loving Lambo's so much, we swore to come back to try the rest of their sandwiches!

I got 3 sandwiches for me and my family (4 people including me). What we ordered: Mona Lisa: 8/10 For both of the sandwiches the bread was very fresh and delicious! They make them fresh for each order and you can taste the quality. The flavours in the Mona Lisa worked really well together, I loved the truffle cream and burrata. Torino: 7/10 This sandwich was also good, but the I felt like it was lacking something, especially compared to the mona lisa. The spicy eggplant just tasted like plain pickled eggplant and wasn't that spicy. I feel like both sandwiches were a bit salty due to the prosciutto, and were missing some sweet or acidic element. I added some balsamic glaze and hot honey at home which was great! The portion sizes are HUGE, the 4 of us were quite full after splitting the 3.
