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.

Shikira H.

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.

There are parking spots outside this location, and they are dedicated spots where you do have the option for their staff bring out your food. Don't parking in any other parking spot or you might have towed. But the food was fast and delicious. My family and I loved it.

I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE how badly I was treated here. There was no parking when I arrived to pickup…read morefor somebody here, so I tried parking directly in front of the pickup section only to impolitely get told by a White complexioned female employee with acne all over her face known as "Nechole" that security will catch up to me if I didn't move the car. She was extremely disrespectful in her way of saying this to me, shaking her head from side to side with a PMS attitude, as though she was screaming for some Midol. She looked extremely upset and aggressive about the entire ordeal, like with a VERY bitchy attitude. I was stunned. Then, the short 4 foot tall manager lady with a Brown complexion and short, Black, straight hair with a huge tomato face began to threaten me and tell me that she has the power to block me from ever coming ...back to this branch to pickup orders for people because I was mad at her employee Nechole. While she told me this, Nechole was directly behind her sticking out her tongue at me, trying to get me even more mad. Obviously, no one working here has completely graduated from high school, and funny how they all look like minors here, all of the employees including the managers! I filed an "I care" complaint and was gifted a free egift card thru my email as a compensation for my hardship that I endured at this location. I just could not believe how I was treated here by a group of MINORS as the employees. I never got blocked from pickups because within DAYS after this bullcrap happened to me, I was back outside picking up again. So their 4 foot tall, tomato faced, Peruvian looking manager lady was A BIG LIAR, only for the purpose of intimidating me. When you come to this location, be prepared to get treated very badly by very disrespectful school children.

Old Lisbon in Aventura delivers an authentic Portuguese dining experience with excellent food,…read moreattentive service. While it is located in a shopping plaza, the restaurant's warm and inviting ambiance makes it easy to forget the surroundings and settle into a relaxed meal. Service was attentive throughout the evening, with staff providing helpful recommendations and ensuring a smooth dining experience. The wine list featuring a selection of Portuguese wines that pair beautifully with the menu. We started with the Bolinhos de Bacalhau and Polvo Grelhado, both excellent choices. The codfish cakes were crisp and flavorful, while the grilled octopus was tender and perfectly prepared. The fresh bread service was a welcome addition and a great way to begin the meal. For the main course, we enjoyed the Paelha Marinheira and the Parrilhada de Marisco. Both seafood dishes were outstanding, showcasing fresh ingredients and rich flavors. Dessert was equally enjoyable. The Pasteis de Nata offered the classic creamy custard and flaky pastry combination that Portugal is known for, while the Pêras ao Vinho do Porto provided a refined and delicious finish to the meal.

I had the seafood stew, which was hearty and full of mussels, fish, clams, white beans, and other seafood. Side rice was just ok. My mom enjoyed her salmon and vegetables, which included eggplant. For dessert, I had to get the famous dessert of Portugal, pastel de nata, which is a mini egg custard tart. It tasted wonderful, but was different from the traditional pastel de nata because it had cinnamon and powdered sugar on top, and personally I like the traditional plain version better. My port (sweet wine) was a delicious accompaniment. Service was very attentive. Interior is small and cozy. Plenty of parking.

This is the hidden gem we all hope to find mmmmm!…read more Good amazing very tasteful & fresh plus great portions ! Service fantastic Timur was very helpful & kind ! Ambiance very relaxed even with road construction. The good thing is there is no car traffic so it's very quiet and tranquil I liked the burger better that any other restaurant in similar price points and I have tried many. Cooked to temperature nice and rear in my case which is not easy to find 150g patty and so tasty. The cheesy shawarma is Huge enough for 2 and it's Amazingly tasteful and everything was fresh and great quality!

I ordered it on a whim at the valero gas station. giant russian dude Andrei peeked behind the window of the food truck in my broken Russian "can I have a shawarma, or burger whatever easiest" Andrei said "you want beef shawarma. " I didn't argue. 10 mins later after filling up the car I guess it was my turn because he handed me the wrap and I nearly fell over from the weight. Went home my wife was thankfully napping on the sofa as I quietly tried to get it out of the back and took a bite. Amazing. Rush of flavors and sustenance I've never felt before flooded my brain and soul. I then went into the the bathroom for what seemed like an hour. But the shawarma wouldn't get smaller no matter how many chomps I took out of it.. I then gave up found my biggest glass Tupperware and put in the fridge to eat for the next month. WOW.
