10 pc. Dave's Bites w/ Fries
Tina Y.

I finally tried Dave's hot chicken, inspired by TikTok videos. The workers were friendly. The chicken slider had a nice chunk of meat, but I wished it had more kale slaw. The hot chicken bites were strong and dry, with a dry seasoning taste. I prefer their chicken in sandwiches for better flavor. The mac and cheese was ok. I want to try very hot category next time.

Shake with Cinnamon Toast Crunch Top Loaded Shake
Evelyn W.

The service was quick. Everyone was nice. The food took a couple minutes to come out, which is expected. The shake was a vanilla ice cream with cinnamon toast crunch on top. I wish there were chunks of the cereal mixed in versus it just being on top. The meal itself was OK very similar to raising Cane's

I was on my way to Just Salad and made a right instead of a left. We were excited to give this a try. My son ordered the sliders while I ordered the tenders of course so we can share and see what this is all about. My favorite hands down are the sliders. The sauce with the chicken and the coleslaw just goes together perfectly. The service was alright not special about it. You order the food at the counter and your pager goes off to pick it up. The food was ready quickly. I think we waited like 5 minutes or so. But there aren't lot of options on the menu. It's pretty much the same items just need to pick how spicy you want it. Stop by order some sliders and enjoy!

Two additional things. They do not provide water cups here - ridiculous trying to sell me a three dollar bottle of water. Also the cash registers are set up to default to a 15%, 20%, or 25% tip and no option for zero unless you go into custom settings which is a complete set up. Do better Dave's.

Been hearing about Dave's Hot Chicken a lot. But never really was in the area to try it. But on our way to the Mall trying to find something to eat and we rolled past it and we said let's give it a try. It being our first time there the service was good the cashier was willing to explain the menu. But she didn't need to we kinda figured it out by reading the menu. Since I like spicy food I went and got the medium heat two tenders and fires. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't playing myself that's why I did the medium heat. The tenders were a decent size and kinda sweet which was a surprise to me. It wasn't very spicy; and the fries were just ok. Restaurant was very clean.

Like everyone else, I've been seeing Posts, and NEWS Stories about Dave's Hot Chicken for the past couple of years or so. And I was excited when I saw they were coming to the neighborhood; a high traffic part of the neighborhood but close enough. I decided to drop in and give them a try. And I do Love Nashville Hot Chicken. The first thing I noticed was the place has a very colorful and minimalist design. The staff is great. The young lady who took my order was sweet and patient concerning this was my Virgin Voyage; she got me square away and I waited to see if it lived up to its reputation. Dave's has a small menu with a total of I believe 4 Combos and 5 or 6 Sides. Let's get to the Heat Leves; Lite Mild Mild Medium Hot Extra Hot Reaper (rumor has it that you need to sign a waiver before consuming). I ordered a two piece combo Extra Hot (because I can handle the HEAT) and an extra tender with the Kale Slaw, My buzzer goes off and I grab my order. Much to my surprise the tenders were much larger than I anticipated; I see why they're only two pieces per order. My first bite was good, spicy and tons of flavor! It got better as I chewed. Wait a minute! This is HOT! I mean DAMN HOT! WOW! Not expecting this level of HEAT! By the time I get to my third tender, my eyes are watering, and I'm sweating like I just finished a discussion with my father about my latest report card. After that meal, I believe the rumor about the Reaper Wavier! So, my next visit, I'll probably step down and Heat Level, maybe two. The chicken is good with lots of flavor. The tenders are big and meaty. And the Kale Slaw is delicious! I'll be back.....yes, I'll definitely be back. It's a must try!

Pretty good. Would just stick to the sandwich as the fries were nothing special. I got the medium hot and it was a good level of spice for me. Service was quick. The Wynwood location has seating, but it's pretty limited and crowded at times, so don't count on being able to get a table.

Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries
Christine S.

I have been looking forward to trying this place but I gotta say it was a bit of a let down. First the positives... the customer service was great! The place was clean and the order came out fast. Now to the not so great. The chicken tenders were so messy. The spice rub got all over my hands. Between the mild I got and the medium my daughter got, the tenders looked the same. I'm not opposed to messy foods but it looks like the spice mix mess from Doritos or takis, which is fine for chips but I don't want that on my chicken!! If I had put honey like they gave me it would have been worse. The fries were basic. They were like the froze ones you get at the grocery store that you heat up yourself. Nothing special. The white bread... well I just don't like white bread so I didn't eat it. Not their fault but it didn't add anything for me. I guess it might have protected my fingers from getting so messy but that's about it. Overall the chicken tasted fine but not as amazing as I was expecting.

Large Top Loaded Fries
Kile B.

Ordered takeout from Dave's Hot Chicken and it was absolutely from start to finish. I went with the top-loaded fries -- no slaw, no pickles -- and they were amazing. Even as takeout, everything held up perfectly. The fries were still crispy, the chicken was hot and juicy, and that cheesy, spicy combo on top was just unreal. It was messy in the best way possible and absolutely packed with flavor. I also grabbed an Oreo milkshake, and WOW. Thick, creamy, and loaded with Oreo pieces -- it seriously tasted like a dessert from a fancy diner. It was the perfect way to cool down after the heat from the chicken. Everything was fresh, packed well, and still hot when I got home. For takeout, that's impressive. Dave's knows how to do it right -- definitely earned a spot in my regular rotation.

If I knew this place was this good I would've got the burger and the chicken the fries were amazing the dip was so good and the honey second time trying first time was in Nashville this place is super good but there's no drive through...

Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries
Evelina K.

Great place. It was around $17$ for the meal plus drink. The tenders are massive so two is more than enough. It reminded me of Chicken Guy that used to be in Aventura Mall and closed but better chicken and better value. I'm glad we found a new go to spot in the area.

Quick pit stop on the way home from shopping. Bright vibrant decor and lights and smiling faces when we walked in. After a quick glance of the menu I opted for their #1 tenders meal that comes with fries, pickles and slice bread. I got the hot and the reaper for which they made me sign a release. I can handle the heat it hit the spot. The chicken tenders are enormous and are powder coated with their seasoning. We ordered for take out and think we'll return with our boys to try the reaper.

One chicken strip for one a big sandwich? Disappointing
Simi O.

I was pretty excited like many other locals when I saw they were constructing a Dave's Hot Chicken in Aventura. I had seen a lot of social media hype over the restaurant so I was eager to try it. The service was great. The guys in the front were pleasant and gave their recommendations on what to try as a first-timer. The restaurant was spotless and clean, so I had no complaint about the ambiance. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the amount of chicken in my sandwich. I only had 1 strip in my sandwich, not sure if that was a mistake or how they came but it seemed kind of thin in my opinion. Other than that, I had no complaints.

It's the type of restaurant every town in Israel had before pizza and sushi became the rage. It's a type of restaurant that has all but disappeared in Israel. It's all about the food, middle eastern style, good quality, ample servings, served in an adequate but minimalist environment. As a salad lover, I especially like the salad samplers that are served while you wait for your entree. Visit this restaurant as if you are entering a Time Machine and you will have an unforgettable experience.

We arrived and there was a wait but it's a small little place so we waited outside until another group of people came and started smoking so we went inside ... When we saw that one of the tables was available and there was really no place to stand, one of us went over to start to sit down (as a solution) and the waitress whose name was Lulli or Lolli started yelling at us telling us that she had to clean first and I said yeah, but there's no place for stand and she yelled that we had to wait. Now, if you've been to Israel, you'll know that people are pretty rude. Kind of nasty they yell at each other we all know and accept it. And you kind of expect it if you go to an Israeli restaurant coz you're gonna get treated poorly. They act like you're bothering them. Of course it's not true of all Israeli restaurants but it's a generalization that's pretty spot on. Once you do get seated and she calms her ass down, you order the most amazing lemonade with fresh lemon, mint, and blended with ice that is to perfection. There's a spread already on the table of small little salads, chickpeas, carrots a lot of cabbage beets etc , to pick on while you're choosing from the extensive Israeli food on the menu . They have all the great Middle Eastern foods that you'll find in Israel . The hummus, the baba ghanoush, the falafel, the amazing is really salad with all the fresh herbs and the delicious fresh ingredients. Five of us spent about $22 each and had the best time despite our waitress and the leaky ceiling and the pretty dingy decor , but that's why we come here. Oh, and the tip is included in the price, which is probably why your waitress doesn't give a damn if you like her or not. We will be returning here for that Lemonanna and overlook Loli or whatever her name was.

There was no greeting, no check-in during the meal, and the service felt like it was simply taking our order and coming back with the check. The food was enjoyable, but the lack of hospitality really affected the overall experience. Sadly, we probably won't be back.

Its one great deal and also a great way to experience their food if you're not sure what you like. We sat outside in the patio area and it was definitely a busy time. So service was a little on the slow side but understandable with the amount of people there. The outdoor patio area is really nice and breezy. Probably not the best idea on a sunny day. But the decor is beautiful and the flowers make it feel like a mediterranean paradise. My fav thing to munch on are the zaatar fries. They are so yummy and the portion is really good for $5. The chicken skewers are also delicious. For cocktails I had the rum berry-tini which was absolutely amazing! The combination of the lemon juice with the berry blend are really refreshing and blends well with the bacardi.
