    Cauli Bites Hot Box
    Redmón R.

    Honestly not worthy the hype. I've now been two times. I thought the first experience was maybe just the rush of opening and the hype but now a second time, a month later it's no better. I ordered online and waited almost 30 minutes after the promised time for the dower to be ready. There is not enough people working the counter and the staff in the back seems like they need help and a proper leader. The one lady up front kept telling them keep the orders going, stop waiting for other things to be ready. Inside they did a great job with decorating. Not sure why they made that weird middle wall, it took up space that could've been used for seating. The food... over priced and not at all as expected, much less not like the Boca location.

    Staff was very friendly. Service was at least a 10 minute wait very good. Ordered cheese fries a drink and Dave's medium bites. The fires were seasoned and right amount of cheese. The chicken had a good taste. Medium was not spicy so I will definitely will be back to try different sauces maybe even try a slider. The restaurant was clean. The art on the wall was amazing!! Good first time experience.

    Daves knows how to do CHICKEN! Would highly recommend ordering ahead via the app plus you get points/rewards! I like the Medium as far as spice level- it has the perfect kick and don't forget the Dave's sauce to really take the meal to the next level. Don't be alarmed by the price, as their tenders are on the higher end compared to other fast food restaurants but the size of there tenders are massive- well worth it! Dave's also has some of the best pickles and they pair them with all their meals- its a Dave's staple! Don't forget to get a side of their mac-n-cheese, its cheesy, gooey and so so good!!

    I've been to three different Dave's Hot Chicken locations along the East Coast and this unfortunately was the most mixed experience. They do have an opportunity at the checkout to get a free milkshake which was nice, however, the chocolate milkshake was very runny and chocolate was not fully incorporated. I always get the medium chicken and this time my mouth was burning on the sandwich! Everything was hot and on time so I do appreciate that. The loaded top fries were great but the six piece is an odd chicken-to-fry ratio. I think I'd prefer the ten piece and to split it with someone moving forward. Cheese and Dave's sauce combo was a little odd as well. Clean environment and bathroom though and friendly staff!

    I was excited to try this new chicken joint. There wasn't much of a crowd inside but it is new so the workers are still trying to figure it all out I guess. Plus the manager was constantly grilling them to hurry up with the orders. The vanilla milkshake was delicious but I was not a fan of the dry chicken.

    So far so good, came in and the place was clean. Yaya chick at the front was funny. I love the art in the place. I did come early on a saturday so the wait time wasn't long to get the food. I had to stop eating to write this review, i'm feeling inspired. DELICIOUS, IMMACULATE, TASTE LIKE HOME. I don't know what the other reviews are talking about I come from LA where I tried dave's chicken and by far this is better than LA something you won't be seeing me say in a review in a while. The slider was immaculate, i hated pickles up until i tried it in the slider today(thank you dave's for making me like pickles now) the fries and chicken crispy you can even hear the crisp. Would definitely recommend 11/10.

    Paper napkin pettiness! Why buy a franchise, if you don't want to supply your customers with napkins? The last location, I went to had three dispensers on the counter, facing outward to the lobby. This location has one dispenser, facing the staff behind the counter. As we were waiting, a sign was moved in front of the dispenser, so from the lobby you cannot even see that there's a dispenser in the store. They are too close in proximity to a similar business that will quickly say "my pleasure" to anything for them to be acting as if it is an over accommodation to be provided with something to wipe your hands with. What shall I use, my shirt? We ordered two Dave's #1's - one medium and one hot and a side of macaroni and cheese. The staff, was friendly. The chicken, was just as I remembered overly seasoned, but not flavorful. Something in the chicken seasoning, either cumin or saffron .....something leaves a fine/sandy/dusty residue/texture during the chewing experience. The macaroni and cheese was reminiscent of "fourth grade 2nd period lunch" per my 13 year-old daughter and overall just as I remembered it's not something that makes me want to come back for more, unless it's for fries. I do suggest you try it if you have not, so you can make your own assessment, but also bring a roll of paper towels.

    I've been waiting forever for a Dave's to appear on this side of the country after visiting the…read morePasadena, California, location three years ago. Finally, a Dave's opened at this location on Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. Great location, great service with a smile, and the hot chicken was as good as I remembered it in California. Located on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard in the same plaza as City Furniture and Dunkin' Donuts, Dave's serves excellent hot chicken tenders with all the various heat levels ranging from no spice/heat to Reaper. For my first trip, I ordered online ahead of time their chicken tenders-and-fries meal with a 10-piece of chicken bites. Each came on white bread with a side of pickles and sauce. For the chicken tenders, I could choose a heat level for each. I went with the medium heat and the very hot heat. For the chicken bites, you could either order them with no spice, medium, or hot, which I chose the latter. For the chicken itself, excellently cooked, well-breaded, and fried to perfection, with a firm coating of seasoning. Based on the heat level, you can choose from no spice (no heat level) all the way up to Reaper, which incorporates Carolina Reaper powder into the seasoning mixture. Each of the bites and tenders I ordered was incredibly delicious and deeply satisfying. Heat-wise, Dave's delivers in spades. The Medium heat selection offers a hint of heat that will leave most people satisfied without being too hot. The Hot heat level was the perfect level of heat and flavor that you could eat all day, in my opinion. The Chicken Bites also reheat well for leftovers, which I used in my omelette the next morning. The Very Hot heat level brings the spice up a notch, where the heat starts to overtake the flavor, but only slightly. For someone like me, it was still delicious even if I was starting to sweat. For most, it may be too much, but they aren't heat eaters either. Next time I go, I'll try the Reaper heat level on one of the tenders to better compare, and see how far this Dave's goes to bring the heat. But the location is excellent. My food was ready when I arrived. The staff behind the counter were friendly and asked if I needed extra sauce, utensils, and more napkins. And with two high-ceilinged dining rooms that allow for those who don't want to sit near the ordering counter to have a little more quiet, it works well. Especially, with the colorful and stylish interior that's very pleasing to the eye, this Dave's is a winner.

I also enjoy the waffle fries. All around good work is being done here. KUDOs to the team at PDQ Chicken.

The three-piece dark meat had 2 drums that were overcooked which they should've trashed because you eat with your eyes and they were dark brown and a little dry.

    I stopped at this Popeyes after a long work meeting, needing a quick lunch before heading to my…read morenext appointment. You know... fast food. Or at least that's what I thought. I pulled up to the drive-thru speaker, ready to order a Classic Chicken Sandwich and an iced tea. Then I waited. And waited. After a few minutes, I started looking around for hidden cameras. Surely this was some kind of social experiment. I even found myself eyeing the food truck in the adjacent parking lot, wondering if I'd have better luck over there. But I had my heart set on that Popeyes chicken sandwich. About six minutes later, a voice finally greeted me. I ordered the sandwich, an iced tea, and decided to throw in the fried cheese just to see what it was all about. I pulled to the window. Waited. Eventually someone came to the window. Waited some more. Eventually they took my payment. Then I was told to pull around front and wait for my food. A few minutes later, the car that had been behind me in the drive-thru joined me in the waiting area. We exchanged that universal look that says, "So... I guess we live here now." Finally, after what felt like an eternity, someone emerged from the restaurant, handed me my food, and disappeared back inside like a groundhog that had seen its shadow. No straw. No napkins. Just a bag of food and nearly 20 minutes invested in what was supposed to be fast food. To be fair, the Classic Chicken Sandwich was pretty good. Crispy, juicy, and exactly what I was craving. The downside? I'm writing this seven hours later, and I think I can still taste the salt. Two stars. The food saved this from being a one-star review. But it takes a special level of inefficiency to turn a quick drive-thru stop into something that feels long enough to qualify for vacation time.
