The chicken is perfectly seasoned with crispy skin and super juicy inside. You can taste the quality and care in every bite. The sides are just as good and feel homemade, not like an afterthought. Portions are generous but back to the soup! Yum! The chicken lemon soup will heal your soul. It's low key, no hype, just really solid food. If you know, you know. I'll definitely be back.

The restaurant space is filled with pictures of local friends, families, and events, combined with Greek landscapes and spaces. Order at the counter, listen for your number, and grab your delicious chicken. The staff is always happy to serve and help the newbies decide on what's best. They have all the classics - gyros, Greek salad with potato salad, and rotisserie chicken platters. The sides are my favorite like the roasted potatoes or pasta salad. My go-to order is the half chicken platter, potatoes, and green beans. Pro tip - The kabob special of Wednesdays is the best deal, but you gotta get there quick! It tends to run out.

It was my first time so I was wasn't sure what to expect. After reading other reviews I was…read moreprepared to wait a while but it was early on a weds morning so luckily I was the only one there at the time. I'm pretty sure they make the orders fresh bc I did wait mayyybeeee 15minutes after I placed my order. It was absolutely worth it though. I had a breakfast box with tator tots, scrambled eggs and sausage. It also came with their boom boom sauce. *I have no idea if that's what it's really called* but it was delicious. And the portion was perfect. Even though this isn't close to where I Iive I will drive out of the way to go back and try more things on the menu. I like how it was a simple breakfast but it was done right. I wish I would've tried it sooner but now that I know I'll definitely be back.

They sent me an offer for a free biscuit sandwich for my birthday! Perfect timing since I was at the office that day! I walked in and asked the guy at the counter for recommendations since it was my first time. He took his time to help me decide, and I went with the Southern style. He was genuinely great and super helpful...kudos to him! He mentioned everything is made fresh, so it would take a few minutes. I waited patiently. The location is small, tucked among other restaurants and shops in Winter Park. It was very clean and well-maintained inside. I took my order back to the office (only about 10 minutes away). When I opened the bag... surprise! I was expecting a normal-sized biscuit, but this thing was twice as big as I thought. The chicken was super crispy, flavorful, and that melted pimento cheese was fire! It was seriously delicious and very filling. I'll definitely be back soon to try another biscuit...maybe something more traditional next time to compare. My experience was excellent overall, but I have to dock one point for no indoor seating. I know the space is tiny, but adding a small counter with a couple of high chairs against the window would be awesome. Just my two cents!

This restaurant is perfect since it is a walk up window to order and several tables outside to sit and eat out to enjoy Hannibal Square. I got here around 11:15am after they opened at 11am. The guy who took our order was extremely helpful explaining the menu and the heat levels of the chicken. I got the 6th Man Wrap with plain chicken and my boyfriend got the 3 tenders and fries. We waited maybe 10 minutes for the food since we got their early. My wrap was PACKED with chicken and really flavorful. I enjoyed the slaw inside and the chicken itself had good crispiness to it. I did wish the wrap was a tad saucier. My boyfriend enjoyed the tenders. 1 order of fries came with alot and plenty to share between 2 people. We ended up getting a to-go box for half my wrap, a tender, and some fries. The food is definitely plentiful and worth the cost. I really liked the location, service, and quality of the food. I plan on coming back real soon!

I ordered their chicken sando, which came topped with slaw, pickles and their house sauce. I liked that they have 5 different levels of heat to choose from so you really are able to customize the spice to your tolerance. The chicks itself was juicy, crispy, and packed with flavor as all the toppings balanced it out nicely. The price did feel a bit steep for $16 for a sandwich with no side included. It is definitely a large sandwich so you will not be leaving hungry. I do think a side or slightly lower price point would make it a better value. Overall solid food and great flavor.

Food portion was a bit too large for me because I just wanted a little bite for lunch, that was more a dinner plate than lunch. Then no substitution when I'm willing to pay to substitute makes no sense cuz I didn't want rice. Cornbread was dry, chicken tastes cheap, potato salad was too much and watery.

But I had an urge to find some fried chicken that is lightly battered and this place hit the spot. Located just off of Park Avenue and Fairbanks is The Hen & Hog. Got a 6 piece fried chicken anf a few sides which consisted of mac and cheese, fries and a pickled slaw. Juicy freshly fried and ever so gently battered chicken that was crisp with every bite. Definitely some tasty chicken. I really liked the slaw that had garlic onions celery and some other items but it cut through the savoriness of the chicken. Yes, i ate all of it to the bone. Wife also got chicken and waffles which she thoroughly enjoyed. Also had fried banana peppers with a pimento spread. Pretty nice combination. Staff was super helpful. They also have wings with a lot of great sauces to try. That will be my order for next time. Cant wait to come back.

I am up in Nashville quite often and have tried a lot of hot chicken places there. But when I am home and craving hot chicken, there are not as many places offering hot chicken. Dave's Hot Chicken is a fast growing chain and for a chain that started in California and not Nashville Tennessee, this is a good spot to head for hot chicken. The service here is friendly and it has an overall decent ambiance. Since this is in a mall, parking is not an issue. If you are in the area, give Dave's Hot Chicken a try.

The biggest issue for me is the seasoning. It looks amazing visually, but the flavor just falls flat. Instead of having that deep, layered hot chicken flavor, it mostly tastes like straight paprika and cayenne tossed on at the end, almost like the spices were never toasted. There's heat and color, but not much complexity, richness, or balance. I kept expecting bold flavor with each visit, but every item ended up tasting flat and underwhelming.

The food was all good. The crinkle cut fries are a favorite of mine so that earns points with me. The chicken was good. Better than some of the other fast food spots but wasn't overly flavorful. The sauce was good. Couldn't put my finger on it but it had a good flavor that complimented the chicken. Coleslaw and toast were both great sides. Overall, I'd give them another shot if I was craving chicken. It wasn't the greatest meal I'd ever had but it was definitely good.

I ordered the 4 box combo with fries and coleslaw. Service was friendly and efficient. We were greeted immediately upon walking in, and the food came out quickly. Unfortunately, the quality did not match my past experiences. The chicken tenders were small, dry, and lacked that freshly cooked texture I normally expect. The fries also tasted like they had been sitting rather than served hot and crisp. The biggest issue was the coleslaw. After just a couple of bites, I noticed an unusual taste that made me stop eating it immediately. Later that evening, I began feeling sick to my stomach, and that feeling continued through the night. I have had better experiences at other Raising Cane's locations, but food quality and freshness are essential at any restaurant. This visit did not meet that expectation.
