Gonna start off saying Da Bubs is inside Le Dive. You're probably at the right spot. :) Once you go in, you order at the counter with the bartender who then gives you a number and says find a seat. We waited about 10 minutes for our food (wasn't that busy). Ordered two flavors of wings - signature buff and korasian bbq - and the "I need to grow up" burger with fries. My bf and I ate all of it in like 6 minutes no lie. Soooo good and we eat a lot of food in this category, like a lot. The one bite wings are seriously worth trying. Buff was good but personally liked the bbq more. Don't sleep on the burgers either. It's up there on our list! Portions aren't large but that's honestly perfect for a spot downtown. Def a great spot to start the night with food or end the night with food. I can't wait to eat here again. This place is absolutely in our rotation of spots now. read more

I've added at my review to add a star because I am appreciative of the quick response of the business however, do you think it's important for customers to view both both my reaction and the associates response in order to manage expectations. The service was great! The beer I enjoyed while waiting for my food was good. The burger was OK. It did not live up to the hype from the previous customer. It seemed like I was missing a patty. The chicken seemed mushy may be overcooked. And the fries had a hair in them or some sort of stringy substance (the stringy substance is from the fried corn husk). It is a packed night tonight so they are handling the patrons well. read more

Okay, so. I really liked the food here!! The menu is very limited, but everything was absolutely delicious. I'm not sure I'd call the wings life changing like some other reviewers, but they were very good- nice crispy skin, a good size, and the buffalo sauce was the perfect balance of spice with a hint of sweetness. The burgers were also great- a true, thin, smashburger with double patties and crispy bits on the edges. Ambiance inside is really cool. I love the decor, the colors, the artwork, and the way it has kind of an upscale dive bar feel. All of that said- we were very confused when we got here. We're not locals, and when we arrived we weren't sure we were even in the right spot. There was no Da Bubs signage outside, and nobody greeting customers, giving direction, or seating people- there wasn't even a sign inside to indicate whether we were supposed to seat ourselves. There was *one* ordering station for food with a long line that was moving realllyyyy slowly. That poor guy was trying to do food orders and drinks at the same time, and it seemed difficult for him to keep up. After a few confused minutes of checking outside, then inside, then Google to make sure we were at the right location, I realized Da Bubs is inside/the same spot as Le Dive Bar- and there is another bar upstairs (the name escapes me) that you have to go through the restaurant to get to. Better signage for all 3 spots outside would be appreciated! Our burgers took a while to come out, and when they did, the wings didn't come with them. I waited a few before I realized that the waitress had taken our number from the table- which meant they may not be on their way... so I tried to hunt someone down to ask whether the wings were coming. There was nobody available. The bartender was extremely busy between both food and drink orders, and the waitress had disappeared into the kitchen to chat with the cooks. I stood at the end of the bar trying to grab someone's attention for about 10 minutes before she came back out. Sure enough, the wings had been missed. By the time they brought them out, we were done with our burgers. I ended up taking most of them to go since we'd already been there quite a while. Overall, A+ on the food, the decor and ambiance. The experience was lacking. read more

Picked this place at complete random off of a small list that would be acceptable to my friend who is a picky eater. Was sat immediately as the place was empty. The decor looks like a combo bar tattoo shop run by eccentric martians. Ordered a nitro espresso martini, Marty burger, and foccacia bites. Everything was fantastic. The smashburger may have been the best smashburger I've ever had. The sauce was weird and a perfect balance to an incredibly crispy smash burger. The fries were extra crispy and perfectly seasoned. And the foccacia bites had a very unique garlic Caesar dip that I loved. The cocktail was also very good and strong, and everything was very reasonably priced. Cannot recommend this place enough. The burger alone was worth the price. read more

My husband and I went to Le Dive/Da Bubs in downtown Raleigh for a casual date night and we loved it! It has perfect upscale dive bar energy. The atmosphere is so cute and great for a date night or a girls night out. They even have a cute little photo booth. The staff was super nice as well. We ordered Da Marty burger and the One Bite Wings, and both were only $10 (which is amazing). Everything was so good and way above what you'd expect at that price. We're already dying to go back and try more off the menu. We also grabbed Da Shredder pizza to go and it was delicious. For drinks, I had an espresso martini and my husband had a beer. Overall, the pricing across the board was great, especially for downtown. We'll definitely be making this a regular spot for us and would absolutely recommend it. read more

So good! Flavorful and I love that they are one bite; easy to eat and meaty! I'll definitely get these wings again and again. Service was quick and the ambiance is a vibrant dive bar. read more

Da Bubs - ONE BITE WINGS - Chicken Wings Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Odd little place, when I walked in at noon on Wednesday I was confused because it looked like it was closed, I was the only person there ordering food. There were two employees, and me for about 45 minutes until a small group of people finally came in. The location is good, the restaurant is well thought out and has a comfortable "vibe", but it's shocking to see it so dead at the top of lunch. The smash burger I had was pretty good, needed more "stuff" and it was unclear what to expect from the menu. It had some sort of house made sauce that resembled apple butter but was very salty. Had I known that was coming I'd have passed for a more traditional setup (lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, mayonnaise, ketchup) but it wasn't the worst thing. I'd come back, but order more wisely. read more

Da Bubs - The lunch menu - Chicken Wings Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

They weren't kidding when they said, "one bite and you're hooked!" The wings definitely lived up to the hype, and the pizza was absolutely amazing. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Parking can be a bit challenging since it's located downtown, but the food is well worth it. Honestly, it's hard to believe this is considered bar food because everything was so flavorful and exceeded my expectations! read more

Extremely disappointing experience. The food was, at best, mid--nothing about it justified the prices or the hype. But honestly, the food wasn't even the biggest problem. The service and the way we were treated completely ruined the experience. One of the bartenders was incredibly rude and dismissive. What was particularly concerning was the assumption he made about my daughter. We ordered four cocktails, and because my daughter did not have her ID with her, he immediately assumed that one of those drinks was going to be given to her. My daughter is 24 years old. Instead of simply asking a question or handling the situation professionally, his demeanor and the way he approached us felt accusatory and disrespectful. And I have to be honest: as a Black woman, the interaction felt racial to me. I can't tell someone what their intentions were, but I can certainly speak to how I was treated and how the interaction made me feel. There was a level of suspicion and disrespect that I found completely unacceptable. If you have concerns about whether someone is of legal drinking age, check IDs and follow your policy. That's understandable. What isn't acceptable is making assumptions about your customers and treating them as though they've already done something wrong. We came to enjoy ourselves, spend our money, and have a good experience. Instead, we left feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. The food being mediocre is one thing. Being treated disrespectfully is another. There are far too many restaurants where we can spend our money and receive both good food AND good customer service. Unfortunately, this won't be one of them. We won't be back. read more

I loved my experience at this location. Service was amazing and I had one of the best smash burgers EVER! The aesthetics and style were impeccable! Thank you for your awesome hospitality on Sunday! I can't wait to try the other items in your menu read more

Da Bubs - ONE BITE WINGS BASKET OF CRINKLES - Chicken Wings Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

If I could give it 0 stars I would. The food itself was mid at best- the wings were overcooked, and the burger was simply nasty... The customer service was terrible, the manager was very rude- even while taking my order he was very passive aggressive. He displayed very racist and prejudice behavior and I will not be returning. YUCK! read more

This place is not for people of color. Rude, racist manager also! My family was discriminated against for our color. Manager was very passive aggressive while taking our order and honestly seemed irritated for us asking question due to this being our first time here. Owner came around and gave a half ass apology but whatever. Smash burgers are pretty salty, and wings were fried pretty hard but the sauce was very good! read more

My husband and I stopped in for lunch, great food and good vibes! Service was great was also exceptionally quick and attentive. We will be back :) read more

Da Bubs - Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Love love the food here! It's so flavorful!! My favorite is the corn ribs!! I didn't try the boneless wings, but my friends went crazy for them! read more

Saw on TikTok. Home of the famous one bite wings. They looked delightful so I had to try. Went on Sunday after church. The place is sort of a dive, hence its subtitle, Le Dive. ‍. It's pretty dark inside but seating is plentiful. It's a bar and a restaurant and located in downtown Raleigh. Parking can be difficult. The one bite wings are made with a French technique of removing the sinewy parts. They were delicious. Fried perfectly crispy with flavorful buffalo sauce. They serve them with a ranch blue cheese mix which is delicious as well. I also had the seasoned French fries fried in beef tallow. Again super crispy on the outside and hot and delicious. The food was a 10/10. Service 10/10. I'll definitely be back for the focaccia pizza and the authentic smash burgers. They looked delicious even though I didn't try them. I really want to gate keep this place but won't. But yall stay out my way when I visit. Okay? Oh. One more thing for the owners. Get a marketing person. Seriously Da Bubs doesn't tell me what I'm getting. Then you have a dog with a chefs hat as the face of the brand. At first thought it was a place that sold quality dog food. I kid you not. You need to have the wings upfront in the name. I saw a lot of people walking right by because not only is the place unassuming, the signage on the outside gives no clue to the deliciousness on the inside. That was free. read more

Best wings of my life. Fried in beef tallow, no cartilage (aka no mess), and the perfect sauce - not too spicy but a nice kick. The cookies are to die for, that combo of salty and sweet is perfection. Focaccia and burgers are amazing as well. You can't go wrong with anything here. The service was impeccable and prices are very reasonable. A much welcome addition to Raleigh's food scene and a must try! read more

This is such a cool place! Plenty of seating inside and very spacious. The food was Da Bomb and carnivore friendly. I had wings, delicious and fell right off the bone and bonus points for fried in beef tallow. You can order burger patties with or without cheese à la cart which a lot of places won't do or they will charge you full price. The owners are super nice and very accommodating. Highly recommended for anyone in the area and it's a short and easy walk from the convention center. read more

This was the best wings and Fries we've had in Raleigh, and we try a wide variety of local, unique to Raleigh, foodie suggestions. The one time I'd suggest to pay extra for all flats if that's your thing. The flats are one bite, crispy & juicy. Wife got the Blueberry smoke variety. Looked like a Goth girl after eating. She was stuck with a basic Buffalo+blue ranch partner. I'd only used "Blue ranch" at home before finding this place. It is exactly what is sounds like.... Ranch dressing with Blue cheese crumbles. A Raleigh gem. read more

Placed the order through yelp. Food was ready maybe 15 minutes later. I got the go buffalo(extra spicy) maaan they were HOT. If you like testing the limits of how much spice you can take, try those out. Super crispy. Meaty. And delicious. read more

Wings were meaty but very dry. I did not get the spicy sauce so maybe that would have helped.

Da Bubs wings are absolutely amazing, the sauce, the one bite, everything about them is perfection. the Focaccia pizza is great. Light, yet crispy crunch. Definitely try the mushroom pizza. If you have a sweet tooth you absolutely can not skip the cookies, trust me, it's the best cookie you will ever eat! Service and atmosphere are top tier as well. Everyone should be running to try this food. read more
