Avoid if you're hungry or value your time. If you're ok with waiting an hour for chicken and fries this is the place for you! They don't have enough staff at this location and it takes far too long to get your food. My husband and I normally get Dave's once a month for a treat. We've noticed big delays getting food over the last few months. Last night I placed a pickup order on my way home. Received a notification that my food would be ready at 7:50pm, at 8:30pm I was still waiting for my food. No one dining in was getting their food, the place was packed with people waiting for their delayed online pickup orders. The staff were overwhelmed. It's complete chaos there. When I eventually got my food and got home I noticed that my order was incorrect. read more

I am definitely not understanding how this place is ranked like a 3.3. The chicken was absolutely great, fresh, crispy and super spicy! I got a few tenders at the 6/7 spicy level and cole slaw. Damn those tenders were great. And the spice level is no joke! My mouth was on fire, but in a good way! The 7th spice level, reaper, must be insane. Maybe I'll get it next time. Right now this is definitely my favorite Nashville hot chicken place in Boca. Five stars, will definitely be back for more! read more

We'd eaten at another Dave's in Pompano, so when we were in the area, we decided to stop and check this location out. We knew from our previous visit that their spice -- even the mild -- is a bit too "hot" for me. So, we ordered "no spice". We got their number one with 2 tenders and fries. And we ordered an additional tender. The combo included the chicken -- large, white meat pieces of chicken -- plus a slew of pickle slices, white bread slices, and crinkle cut fries. There was also a small container of Dave's special sauce. Even the single extra tender came with bread and pickles, as well. The food was decent. We've decided we didn't really care for their fries. And would leave them off or order something else instead. Service here was okay. Not as good as our first experience with the chain. But keeping that in mind, the chicken tenders are worth coming alone. We are glad we came to check them out. read more

We have tried two other locations before and found them to be consistently good. This location is at the southern end of a small strip center just off SR 7. Adequate parking in the lot shared by three other restaurants. We ordered the chicken tenders combo (not spicy) and and an extra single tender. The tenders are large strips of breast meat. Our combo came with fries and a fountain soda. (Next time we will order Dave's Mac n cheese instead of the coated fries). Although our chicken tenders were good and plentiful, they were served warm and not hot out of the fryer like our previous meals. Service is friendly and helpful. read more

Came to Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time ever at 12pm on a Sunday. After seeing all the social media hype, I was incredibly excited. There were only 2 people ahead of us in line, but just to order took about 15 minutes. To get the food, only took about 10 or so. I must say, I love the incredibly simple and minimalistic menu. I also love the fact that you can substitute absolutely any of the combos with cauliflower. This is an excellent option for vegetarians and vegans to still be able to come here and enjoy a meal. With that being said, we got the Dave's #3 (slide and a tender), medium spice, and comes with fries, but drink needs to be purchased separately. We also got the Dave's #2 sub cauliflower (2 sliders) medium spice, which also comes with fries, but no drink. We also got a side of mac and cheese, along with 2 large fountain drinks. First and foremost, the medium spice level was absolutely perfect. I might even go for the hot next time. The seasoning is unlike anything I've had before. I don't eat fried chicken often, could probably count on one hand how many times I've had a chicken sandwich in my lifetime. This meal might make fried chicken sandwiches part of my regular rotation now. The chicken was fresh, juicy, crispy, perfectly seasoned, perfectly hot. The fries are crinkle cut and also seasoned and crispy. The kale slaw is a refreshing addition to the spice. The sliders also come on a really nice and soft potato roll. The Dave's sauce is a little tangy, a little sweet and balances out the chicken perfectly. The cauliflower was crazy crispy on the outside, but very tender and soft on the inside. This is a nice and unique break from the typical vegetarian foods like pizza and pasta. The mac and cheese was creamy, definitely cheesy and had its own little mixture of seasoning that set it apart from other mac and cheeses I've had. Would probably be really good on a slider! Overall, this meal was $44, not including a tip. Is it cheap? No. But is it filling? Yes. It has been about 6 hours since I ate and I'm still nice and full. The quality is worth the price. I will absolutely be back to try their loaded fries and additional spice levels! read more

Two words for this place awesome sauce. The food is life changing. The drinks alter you mentally because of how good they taste. The place is sparkly clean. The service is quick and nice. If you haven't tried your missing out. This place has personally changing my life for the better. I would die for this place. read more

Great sliders. I Heard a new location was opening soon in Pompano Beach and thought to put an Uber eats order in to give Daves a try at this location which was the closest to me. 8+ miles away. The transport was a success and the meal held up excellent with no issues. Most importantly, Excellent sliders! Moist, delicious, seasoned well, perfectly prepared. A Masterpiece! Look at that picture! The Good stuff! I ordered the Hot but I think the Hot is way too hot for me. Overall excellent with the hot but I will get Mild next order. A great 1st order. Dave's a winner! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - 2 slider and fries served HOT! WOW! Way hot! Go with the mild. Excellent! 5 star. Held up on Uber eats to LHP. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

This is my second Daves hot chicken experience, first time at this location and unfortunately I have to say it wasn't as good as the first visit. If you aren't familiar with Daves, they have a very limited menu, no drive thru but a ton of flavor with different heat levels for all the chicken! I decided on medium today and I thought it was good. I think I liked mild a little better but I wouldn't say medium was bad. Someone ordered hot at the table and it was scorching. Like to the point I wouldn't be able to eat it if I ordered that so I am very glad I didn't. The fries are seasoned well, the pickles complement the spice of the chicken well. The chicken on this slider was also flavorful as well as the slaw on the sandwich. Here's a wild part of my dine in experience at this new location. The corners of the wall are sharp! As I was sitting down at a table in the back near the wall, the corner of the metal lower panels ripped my shirt and pants. I was shocked that something so sharp was at walking level and so close to tables to cause this. It kinda ruined my experience as it happened immediately after I ordered and then sat down. I recommend being careful near the tables near the walls inside so that doesn't happen to you. Definitely will visit Dave's again, I just don't think I will visit this location again though. read more

Decided to try something different for lunch so I got Dave's. I was very hyped to try it because of my coworker hyping this place up. I went around 2pm, there was a bit of a wait to order and get my food. I was expecting the chicken to be "hot" in spices, I ordered medium just in case it was spicy and that was a fail, it had good flavor but no heat, next time I'll try the hot and see if it makes a difference. My Caribbean tastebuds weren't too happy with the lack of spice. Other than that, the food was pretty good, flavorful. I suggest ordering online to make things faster. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - 10 pc. Dave's Bites w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Totally meh. Edible, not good or delicious. The sliders are huge, too much. The flavor of the chicken is reminiscent of BBQ potato chips. The fries have the same flavor. The pink sauce tastes like thousand island dressing with extra sugar. The heat on the chicken is not a tasty heat, just a hot heat. We won't be back, there's nothing else to try. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken is part of a slew of new Nashville Hot Chicken restaurants sweeping the area. Hot chicken is a type of fried chicken that is a specialty of Nashville, Tennessee. Hot sauce and cayenne added to the coating makes the chicken spicy and delicious. The latest entry into the South Florid market is Dave's Hot Chicken, started by childhood friends Dave, Arman, Tommy, and Gary who took $900 to buy a folding table and portable fryer and set up business in an East Hollywood parking lot. Restaurant namesake Dave Kopushyan is a professionally trained chef who worked under restaurateur Thomas Keller at the three-Michelin-star restaurant, The French Laundry. Word of Dave's delicious hot chicken spread and lines grew. In 2017, the first restaurant was founded. Drake became major investor in the company in 2021 along with Samuel L. Jackson. By 2022 Dave's Hot Chicken had grown to over 100 locations and they now have restaurants overseas. This was the opening weekend for Dave's Hot Chicken, Boca Raton. There was a bit of a line but it moved quickly. Inside, the restaurant is decorated with brightly painted murals on the walls. In addition to a few tables inside there is more seating outside under the large covered patio. The simplified menu consists of 4 choices of hot chicken tenders, sliders or both. Spice levels range from no spice to reaper. Sides include fries, cheese fries, macaroni and cheese and a kale slaw. All of the chicken is halal. Those with a sweet tooth can order top loaded shakes like the current Lucky Charms. I ordered the #4 which included 1 slider with fries for $10.25. The food was ready in a reasonable amount of time considering how slammed they were. The chicken was juicy and the perfect spice level for me, mild. I really enjoyed the seasoning they put on the fries and the chipotle mayo Dave's sauce is the perfect dipper. The food is great and the staff stayed cheerful despite being extremely busy. This is a great addition to West Boca and the Hot Chicken market. read more

Tiny tiny portion for $12, forgot my sauce on the side I paid for and overall quality was terrible....the chicken pieces were so small they couldn't be anything but rock hard Brett.....I did reach out to that email last night...no response & as I said, I wouldn't waste my money on this quantity or quality again, not in the financial times we are all going through but thanks for the college try to keep business...you can't possibly "wow" us without saying how as there was no "wow" this time, when a restaurant does the same but expects a different result is not a logical business strategy... read more

There is a new chicken sheriff in town ... and his name is Dave. My wife and son went here on Thursday and got me a chicken sandwich which was amazing. It was the Number 1 and it actually comes with 2 sandwiches. Soft juicy chicken expertly seasoned. Delicious! The food was so good that my son and I went back and ate there on Friday night. The place was comfortably busy with a little bit of a line. Again, the chicken was fantastic. This place could garner a 5 rating except for one thing..... and it is a major problem. The service is VERY slow. My son told me that they waited 30 minutes after ordering on Thursday and warned me that the service would be slow. He was right. We were 4th in line when we got there and it took almost 15 minutes for them to finally take our order. And then it took 25 minutes for us to get our food. This is unacceptable and needs to be fixed immediately. Most fine dining sit down restaurants can get their food out much faster. Not only was it beyond annoying, but they are going to lose a lot of business because of this. There is a great opportunity for Dave to excel here, but if the service problem persists, there will be another restaurant there by next summer. read more

Great location in Boca Raton for Dave's Hot Chicken. If you like chicken places and hot Nashville style chicken, this is the place to go. The inside vibes have fun and colorful artwork on the walls and the outside has a large amount of covered seating. Besides the cute chicken mascot and logo, you have an opportunity to choose your heat for the chicken when you order. That's what's unique about Dave's Hot Chicken restaurants. They offer 7 ways to order your chicken, no spice, lite miid, mild, medium, hot, extra hot and REAPER. Make sure that you have a drink because I thought medium was hot and hot was blow your mouth out. It was very good with the cayenne pepper spice. I don't think that I will try the extra hot nor the reaper but most of you I am sure will. The menu offers sliders and tenders and even combos with both and a side included.The fries were delicious with the seasoning. The Dave's sauce is like a chipotle mayo that you can eat on the chicken or even dip your fries. I also ordered the slaw that had kale and red cabbage mixed in together. The service was quick and accurate plus a cashless business. Must try!!!! read more

The food was the only thing good because the customer service is terrible. I ordered my food online. I got 3 combo meals and an extra Mac n cheese. I bring the food to my car and notice my 10 count combo is missing. I go in to get my missing food and they request I bring my order back in, so of course I did so. I then bring my order back in and now they're out of Mac n cheese. They had it when I ordered it because my other meal received it. Because of their mistake, I wasted my money and time. They're slow and unorganized. read more

I have been a Dave's fan ever since I tried them in LA in 2021. Since then I had been waiting for them to open in SF and the day has finally come.. did it live up the hype? Well that's the tricky part.. we dined in on a busy Sunday evening with a party of eight adults and two kids. Placed the order for dine in and waited 25 mins .. we were all given our order together in a to-go box not sure why when we said we are going to dine in here.. then the sandwiches and tender were not hot enough and probably because they were just sitting there when they could have been just given out when they were ready.. the sandwiches that were made last were fine but the one that were waiting definitely got cold and so were the fries.. there is no doubt the food quality was great and way better than what I had tried in Orlando.. it's a new place and I hope they take notes from such reviews and feedback that if you have a big party don't let their food sit inside getting cold just pass it out as it's ready .. the place is nice and clean and well maintained.. only taking one star away for a bit slow service and cold food read more

Second trip here and just as good! We keep forgetting how big the chicken really is! I prefer the sliders while my husband loves the tenders. The fries were also nicely done and very tasty. And the special sauce is very good too! One tip, ours is cashless only. read more

Complete hype. Right now everyone, myself included, is running to see what this is all about. You'll expect to wait about 20 minutes for your order. The traffic inside is just like when Huey Magoos opened a year ago. They are overstaffed with servers and understaffed with cooks. Expect all this to change over time but let's get into the food itself. The chicken could be fried iguana and you'd never know because all you taste is the overwhelming, overly-seasoned, crunchy, deep-fried breading surrounding the meat. It's not a great taste but that can be subjective. Imagine tasting something like Old Bay and smothering it over your chicken and then deep frying it about 4 times. The fries were overcooked as well. The shakes do look good and I think the first few weeks are always going to have issues but clearly this is a situation where a hot California restaurant uses social media and leans on guys like Drake for brand recognition and is built on hype. Will some people like this? Sure. Some people like Applebee's too. Try it but don't get too excited. If you want a chicken sandwich, I don't see how anyone would prefer this over Canes, Huey, Chick-fil-a or even PDQ. This was an extreme let down. read more

When I went to Dave's Hot Chicken, I came in a with a huge impression and it was terrible. As I came in I went to the restroom and the toilet was not working well, there was also no paper towel or soap. I ordered and it took me around 20-30 minutes to get my order. Not a matter of fact there was a hair in my fries and in my sandwich. The tables were gross and this restaurant is highly overlooked. The food was completely greasy and disgusting. I left with a stomach ache and had food poisoning the next day. I truly advise you not to visit if your looking for decent food. read more

I disagree with the reviews here. Service was quick. Employees were nice. Food was good. I think new food places always need a bit to iron out the kinks but I really didn't find any issues with our experience. We split a #2 which was plenty for us both. We'd come back again in the future read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I agree with the over hyped. It's worth a try, the food is good. We didn't wait too long maybe 10 and it was busy. So if you're on the fence. Give it a try but don't go if you're in a rush. I've worked in service and retail long enough to eye ball the key issues with this location. This is a franchise so it's clear the owner never worked in service and or is absent. 1) outside tables are right behind the main dumpster. The trash isn't fully contained and the workers left the tops open. Which means you can see and smell the trash if you're standing by the door. 2) visible overstaffed to compensate for all the new hires who also never worked service. 3) not a soul over the age of 20 on the front of the house. 4) you have two other QSR chicken restaurants with far higher customer services standards. You need to remove two teenagers and hire at least 1 experienced manager. Good luck that location is cursed lol read more

Food is fine it's just another chicken place I really enjoy their pickles and slaw very tasty and fresh. Only thing I wish the seasoning didn't taste so powdery I like the flavor it just tastes like they overdue it not sure if it's just that location because I went to the Orlando one & I don't remember it being like that. The staff is nice very accurate with the service asking you if you need anything when they hand your bag. The inside is nice cool designs on the wall maybe also turn the ac up a little felt warm inside. As well it would be nice if someone would take the garbage more frequently outside since it was overflowing last time which was a little unappealing. read more

I didn't take photos, but I had the two sliders with a mild sauce fries. My wife had the nuggets with fries and a soda. The service was excellent. Food was great very clean atmosphere nice and open. Enjoyed it very much. read more

I have been to this Dave's location several different times and the food is great! The dave's bites with the fries just make sense price wise when comparing everything else on the menu. Get yourself an extra potato bun and you got a sandwhich, bites, and fries for way less money than normal. My only issue is the wait. For some unknown reason you can be the only people in there and your order will take 20 minutes to come out. Sometimes it is worth the wait but damn it's the opposite of fast food... read more

I went there for around the 3rd time and the last two times it was so much better, the energy this last time was just so dead and for the amount of people there the order took so long to get ready. They gave me the wrong order somehow. At least the chicken was well cooked. read more

Was super excited about a halal fries chicken chain nearby. Very mediocre. This is now a "wow" chicken spot. Hope it changes and its just growing pains. read more

Was excited to try this place. Food came out pretty quickly. Had fries and a sandwich. Sandwich was juicy but over seasoned by far. Felt like I was eating paprika over some meat. Taste was horrible in my opinion. Took a few bites to be sure and then threw it in the garbage. My son got the tender which I tried and it was basically tasteless dried chicken. He said it was better with the sauce as well as the pickles. But let's face it, if you're a chicken place, your chicken should taste good on its own without adding to it. His meal was also thrown out after only a few yucky bites. Don't bother coming here when there are so many other good tried and true options to select from. Won't be back. read more

4:30 on a Sunday afternoon visit. Terrible Service -- Inedible, Completely Disgusting Food! I ordered the Slider/Tender Combo with fries. 24 minutes to get my food. Loads of help milling around doing nothing. I tried chewing the tender and immediately became nauseated -- yes it's that disgusting. I spit it out. I glanced at the slider but did not touch it. Tried eating a fry to see if it would take the rancid taste of the chicken tender out of my mouth -- It did not. I spit out the fry as well. Of course terrible food and worse service doesn't prevent this cashless fast food disaster from asking for tips. Exactly what service do they provide? You stand up to order, there is no drink service, you fetch your own food when it is finally ready and they are bored enough to take it out of the window and set it on the counter (By then it's cold) and then you bus your own tables. The unvarnished gall a joint like this has to ask for tips is deplorable. I pray capitalism works and a court soon declares this dreadful den of grifters bankrupt. The only reason to return would be if the pharmacy was out of Ipecac Syrup. Dave's Hot Chicken Is A Great Choice To Induce Vomiting -- Not So Much For Any Other Purpose. read more

It was my first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken bc I saw all over my social media, the chicken itself was not great it was very bland and it needed Dave's sauce but that really didn't help it at all. The only semi good thing was the pickles on the chicken THAT WAS IT. The fries that came wt my meal were very over seasoned and I thought that it was a little sweet, which I don't like at all. The service itself was very good we ordered very fast and it took about 5-10 minutes to get there, when it got there the chicken was a bit soggy. I would rather go to Canes, Huey's, Popeyes, and KFC. The place was kinda clean but there were not many decorations. Overall I would NEVER come back and I suggest that you don't go either, unless you want SOGGY, BLAND, AND JUST BAD food. read more

Absolutely terrible, the worst Daves hot chicken ever. Literally gave me food poisoning. Food was inedible and service is trash.

Just had chicken for first time absolutely terrible. Dry over seasoned chicken, cold fries, and way overpriced for 2 fingers and fries

Amazing service, staff was prompt, and was very nice. The food was great and tasty, as this was my first time having Dave's it was a great experience. The store itself was very clean and tidy. read more
