    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.

    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!

    2 slider and fries served HOT! WOW! Way hot! Go with the mild. Excellent! 5 star. Held up on Uber eats to LHP.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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!!!!

    Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries

    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.

    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

While we waited to order we failed to see any employees for a few minutes.. clue #3. Finally a woman in middle eastern attire showed up & we ordered. 1 Greek salad with Gyro meat & 1 Gyro platter with yellow rice, French fries, hummus & pita bread. 15 minutes later it was ready & we were ready to pay for it. Clue #4. The Greek salad was small & the meat was not those long cuts of delicious lamb, but rather tidbits or remnants of lamb pieces. No Feta cheese to be found either. It was edible but underwhelming. My platter was anything but a platter... because it all was crammed into a styrofoam box with little compartments. The lamb was a super small portion of the same chopped lamb remnants more like lamb hash. The rice was white not yellow...I ordered fries and got a morsel of salad instead....no hummus present but I think it was babaganoush... and no pita bread anywhere to be found! What a disaster! Now I'm mad that I left a Tip. Furthermore the prices on the in store menu are not the same as your final ticket. I was charged $16.99 for my platter when the menu clearly states $15.99. This was the most disappointing Mediterranean food I have ever had in the 11 years living in this area. I usually love supporting local independent businesses but in this case I highly recommend you DO NOT support this Family business until they improve the Food, the service & the prices Charged. We in Boca Raton know better Food and deserve better than this attempt. As a YELP Elite reviewer and a Food & Beverage Executive I'll state that This restaurant isn't worthy of our residents support.

The manager, who I was told is her best friend, was actually professional, kind, and communicative. I'm an influencer and I also attend Yelp Elite events so I'm very used to trying new spots, giving honest feedback, and collaborating with businesses. On this night I had just come from an influencer event with a big group of friends and we wanted to keep the night going, so one of my friends suggested a hookah place nearby that stays open late and we decided to check it out. I even offered a potential collaboration, which is something I do often with businesses. Some say yes, some say no, and that is completely fine. What isn't fine is overhearing the owner speaking about me to her staff in a rude and unprofessional way, assuming I couldn't hear it. I approached her calmly and addressed it directly. Letting her know I hear her speaking of me. She immediately changed her tone and asked what I heard. I chose to de-escalate and move on and I said I heard she's excited to collab. Just to keep the peace. That alone says a lot. Beyond that, the service overall was unprofessional. At closing, instead of communicating that they were closing, the hookah was abruptly taken from my hand with no communication as decent customer service would do, even though there were still other tables present. Again, this was the owner. Overall, between the low quality experience, the contrast between the nice outdoor setup, and the lack of basic respect and professionalism, I would not recommend this place. I suggest the owner take notes from the manager. The only positives was the managers professionalism and the outdoor was beautifully decorated. But that's it.

We haven't explored the fried items or much else on the menu, so we can only speak to that side, but in that regard, no complaints. That said, the overall experience as a customer especially when you're unfamiliar with the area or just stopping in between meetings or on a lunch break--needs improvement. After ordering and paying, being directed to leave the line, drive around multiple corners and blocks, and then return just to find parking (which can take 30+ minutes) is frustrating and impractical. It turns what should be a quick and convenient stop into a time-consuming hassle. Another ongoing issue is consistency with the grilled group option. Even though it's listed (and often stapled to the menu), we find ourselves having to ask about it almost every visit. Many times it's unavailable--they've run out, it's not being offered that day, or there's some other reason it can't be ordered. That kind of uncertainty makes it difficult to plan, especially when that's the main reason we choose to come here. From a business standpoint, there should be a more efficient system in place for handling customer flow and parking, along with better consistency and communication around menu availability. The food keeps us interested, but the logistics and unpredictability make it difficult to justify stopping in regularly. In short: great grilled options when available, but the ordering process and overall experience need serious rethinking.
