    Single Slider, Mac & Cheese
    Symone B.

    Food was fresh, sandwich had a HUGE piece of chicken and the Mac was so cheesy and fresh. The food came out fast, the atmosphere was cute and clean and they had an outside patio where you can eat and watch all the nice cars go past.

    Mild slider with fries

    I've been to several other Dave's locations all over the country so I'm used to the taste. This location is just as good as the others, and it being halal is much appreciated. The spice levels are accurate compared to other hot chicken places. However, I was disappointed to see my slider and tender combo box missing coleslaw, pickles, and a side of sauce. My "slider" was essentially a tender on a bun. The rest of the order was accurate. It took some time to get our food despite ordering online ahead of time on a slow Friday afternoon. We came back again a few weeks later and our order was accurate and tasted just as great. Love that their combos come with sauce for no extra charge.

    BEST HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH IN MICHIGAN!!! I went all the way to Tennessee to try the famous hot chicken (among other foods) and Dave's Hot Chicken still gets me every time. For a slider the sandwich is pretty big with generous piece of juicy, flavorful chicken. In terms of spice level, I usually get "medium" and will occasionally get "hot" when I'm feeling adventurous. They also have mild and everything in between all the way up to extra extra hot The hot isn't too bad but the medium is a good amount of heat without getting overwhelmed. I typically go to the Dearborn location (it's also halal there ) but decided to give the Troy location a try. Excellent quality at both locations ! The Dave sauce is a game changer and goes well with fries and on the sandwich. The fries are pretty standard but they serve them lightly seasoned which is amazing. The Troy location has a good amount of seating although it seems a lot smaller than the Dearborn location. The staff was friendly while taking my order and I didn't have to wait long. Can't wait to go back!

    #3 combo sub mac and cheese
    Kaylee L.

    I ordered the #3 combo which comes with a slider, tender, and fries (I subbed Mac and cheese). The medium heat level is perfect for adding just a little spice. This food came out impressively fast, in under 5 minutes during lunch hour which was impressive. I give it 4 stars because the mac and cheese was nothing special--I found it to be pretty bland. I also think the meal should have come with a drink.

    Food was great. Best service at a fast food joint probably ever. They gave me voluntary samples and hooked me up with lots of sauce. Atmosphere was lively and the restaurant was clean. 100% worth it.

    Combo #4. One slider Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries
    Amy B.

    I came here for lunch today on a whim and kind of glad I did. I've been wanting to try it out for a while and finally got the chance. Walking in, the menu's pretty simple and standard. they have chicken sandwiches and fingers with a great selection of items to choose from. I went with the one chicken slider, fries and a drink for a total of $12.70 after everything. I think it was the combo #4? Let me tell you, I loved it! They have a lot of different spice levels here and the lady told me that if I get the hottest one, the reaper, I have to sign a waiver! I'm not going to try that, so no worries there. I went with the mild sauce and it came out great. Let me tell you, not everyone does chicken well. These guys do! Also, one slider is quite big, so don't order two unless you are absolutely hungry. When I hear the word "slider" I think tiny...like white castle size. Not this. These are the size of a regular chicken sandwich, so be prepared when ordering. Also, the staff here's really knowledgeable so ask a lot of questions like I did. The only thing I had a problem with was the area where you get utensils and straws. It was a huge mess! Like all over the counter and floor bad. I assume because if it's location that's why (at the end of the counter) but there really should be some kind of garbage can there since it was a disaster. Hopefully they figure it out soon to keep it less messy. Also, the garbage can is hidden for when you're done eating. I was about to just leave my stuff on the table but when I went around the corner I noticed a trash can available for self clean up. Maybe make it a little more visible an in a better area? that would be nice as well.

    Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries
    Lisa W.

    Let's be frank....it's chicken fingers and fries. The menu is only that, and just turned into sandwiches. So don't go in thinking it's a bunch of options or it's made different. No it's chicken fingers and fries. Is it good though? Yep. Now I got the 1 slider and 1 tender not knowing what to expect. The one tender comes on plain white bread, which for some of us who grew up in the hood...Issa nova sandwich lol I got 1 extra hot which was the sandwich. Was it super hot? No. Was it kinda hot? I guess. Not nose running or tongue dripping hot. It has chili powder - that's what makes it hot which u gotta are like DAMN at first...chili powder? I guess the medium wasn't hot at all. The Mac n cheese was okay. No biggie, not dry had a little seasoning you could see. I ordered through door dash and the driver told me the line was long so I can assume it's a popular spot. I will visit inside one day

    Outside

    Been wanting to try this franchise since hearing about it on YouTube. We ordered online and came for pick up. Busy busy! Mostly people coming in and out and waiting for their pick up orders. Not a ton of people dining in, but there were a few groups eating outside. The space inside isn't all that large. It's a long narrow hallway with a decent amount of outdoor seating at the back. The order wasn't quite ready on time but I wasn't in a hurry. We ordered combos, which allows you to get tenders, sliders, and fries. You get to choose the spice level for each tender/slider! There are a decent number of spice levels to satisfy different tolerance levels. I chose the combo with one tender and one slider. The slider is basically a tender inside a hamburger bun with slaw. I chose hot for the tender, and medium for the slider. I also subbed regular fries for cheese fries for an up charge. My older sis did the same combo I did but chose medium spice for both her tender and the slider. My other sister got two tenders. She chose hot and Xtra hot. Medium wasn't really spicy for us, and we all love spicy food. Hot was definitely at my level, but wasn't a struggle for me. I'll have to stick with hot and Xtra hot next time. I'm curious about Reaper, since that's the hottest level just above Xtra hot. My sisters both got regular fries which was still pretty well-seasoned! My cheese fries were good but weren't super cheesy. The chicken is halal and is a take on hot chicken but they're from LA. It's seasoned pretty well. Juicy too! The color is a bit more red. If you're expecting Southern fried chicken, this won't fulfill your cravings but it's probably as good as you're gonna get here in the Midwest. Not a bad option though!! I'd totally come back!

    Nicole E.

    It's busy inside and narrow too. Gianna took our order, she's nice and efficient too. #143 for our order. Ordered the number #2 Reaper hot, number #2 hot heat, 2 kale slaws, one fries with added cheese and two bottled waters. $43.50. Not sure if they call out your number or over a PA or if we just need to keep a tab on our food. It's not clear. I see people going up to check up on their food orders. Food took about 10-15 minutes to come out or so. We had to go to the counter to come collect it. The slider buns are cold, fridge cold. Could be warmed some. The cheese fries were okay. Cheese wasn't worth it. The chicken tenders on the sliders were pretty crispy. A decent dry rub. The kale slaw and pickle isn't bad. The kale salad sides gave us a bit of veggies with the carbby sliders. Dave's sauce doesn't add much to the sliders for me. I had a bit of gristly bit to one of my tenders. My hot slider wasn't hot at all. The reaper hot rub wasn't spicy for my husband either. Counter experience was good. Food was quite average.

    Bob B.

    The food was good, staff still learning, major complaint is that it is overpriced. I ordered the reaper level heat, came with a waiver to hold them harmless. It wasn't that hot and the waiver is just a stunt.

    So fun! Tried the mild combo number 3 that comes with a tender and slider, fries... love that you can try both in a combo bc I love having little bits of everything. Opening day they gave out little chickens, stickers, and shot glasses.

    One of the best choices in Troy. Order the sliders or chicken strips and season to taste. Good stuff!

There's a huge salad bar with fruits and even some soup options in the middle: it's ginormous and there's a lot of options!!!! A LOT! The steaks and meats served in the churrasco experience are always tasty. They serve them done differently, so you can always ask for well done, medium, rare, medium rare, and so on. There's also lamb and chicken and the more deluxe experience includes bone marrow and other stuff. If you're feeling stuffed (which good for you for getting your money's worth!) they offer pineapple (as well as glazed pineapple) which had an enzyme that actually helps you feel less stuffed. I loved their picanha which they describe as their house special and the garlic steak! This place is considered expensive, at $49 for the 'full' churrasco experience and $69 for the more premium one. You do have to flag someone down if you feel like you want another cut of steak as sometimes, the same ones keep making their way back to you when you know exactly what you want. But the staff are super courteous and lovely every time we've been here.

It's quite disrespectful to the customer when we're already spending a lot to be there. In this recent visit, some of the meats that were brought out were medium well or well done as well. Not sure if they were just having an off day but it was disappointing to get a well done filet even though our table asked for medium/medium rare.

The pieces were huge, so the price felt completely worth it. The servers were especially kind and patient with us as first-timers. They took the time to explain the most popular flavors and gave great recommendations, which we really appreciated. The only downside were the sides. The onion rings and fries didn't seem to have any seasoning. So, they tasted a bit plain compared to the bold, flavorful chicken. I'd definitely come back for the chicken alone.

This included chicken and mushroom, chorizo and black bean, shrimp and crab, and bulgogi empanadas, along with ground beef, and cheese carimañolas. The chicken and mushroom and chorizo and black bean were my favorites of the 4 empanadas. The shrimp and crab was flavorful, but had a prevalent fish taste. The bulgogi was enjoyable, as well, but had a bit of kick. As for the carimañolas, I liked the ground beef a bit more than the cheese. The dish came with a sour sauce and, the cilantro based, aji sauce. Both were great, to the point where I didn't have a preference. For our entrees, we got the deep fried red snapper and the meat platter. The snapper was delicious, and the bones did not negatively impact the enjoyability of the dish like I thought it may. It came with limes, fried plantains, and an avocado salad. I recommend utilizing the limes, and trying the avocado salad simultaneously with the snapper. The meat platter came with chorizo, both links and pulled, fried pork belly, rice, a fried egg, red beans, sweet plantains, and avocado. Of the 3 meats, the links were my favorite. As for the 2 kinds of plantains, I definitely preferred the sweet over the fried. This was a solid meal, and you can't go wrong with any of other the menu options, either.
