    Dave's hot chicken slider. Fries and pickles.
    Benjamin B.

    We did drive through service. Had about an average wait time. Person taking our order was pleasant and skilled at working the drive through. Explained the menu and took our order correctly the first time. Building was clean and well presented on the outside. We ordered the Sliders with fries and the slider had kale salad and pickles. The bun was good and warm. The chicken strip on the slider was more crust than chicken. I would say please pay more attention to the star of the show, the "CHICKEN". Dave's hot CHICKEN.

    As a L.A. resident I wasn't new to Dave's. I was visiting family in Conyers recently and after a late night of drinking I opted to pick up some Dave's since it was otw home. First things first if you're coming by late I recommend you Uber eats because they get busy. After about a 10 min wait my food finally came out. I got a 2 sandwich combo. The food was fresh and came out piping hot. The chicken itself had great flavor and the knockoff Zaxbys sauce hits. I picked up my food to go but the inside of the restaurant looked spacious and vibrant, I appreciate a good decor. Im kinda over the hot chicken craze but this is actually a good fast food alternative for burgers.

    Let's start with the downside, so we can get that out of the way. The biggest issue with this location is the drive-through. It's often wrapped around the entire building, and at times, it blocks several parking spaces, making it harder for additional customers to park and enter the restaurant. If they could find a better way to manage or redesign the drive-through, it would improve the overall experience and encourage more people to come inside instead of being forced to use the drive-through. Now, with that said, let's talk about what makes Dave's Hot Chicken exceptional. This is one of the best hot chicken chains in the United States. The restaurant is always clean, even though it's consistently packed. I've been to this location multiple times. Sometimes, it was so crowded that I left without ordering, but honestly, that's not necessarily a bad thing--it just shows how much people love this place. Other times, I've come alone or with my partner, and the food has always been fantastic. I've tried hot chicken in other states, and while it's good elsewhere, Dave's Hot Chicken stands out. The food here is amazing: always cooked perfectly with a great range of spice levels to suit different tastes. Personally, I wish they offered a few more side options, but what they do have is consistently excellent. My go-to order is the chicken tenders with cheese fries, and occasionally I'll get the sliders. The coleslaw on the sliders is a perfect complement to the flavors. If you're planning to visit, here's my advice: if you have kids, consider getting your order to go. If you're alone or have time to spare, it's worth the wait--though I recommend avoiding the drive-through if possible. Park and head inside, assuming you can find a spot. Overall, this location has its challenges with crowding and parking, but the quality of the food more than makes up for it. If you've never tried Dave's Hot Chicken--whether it's at this location or another--you absolutely should. The food is worth the wait and delivers every time.

    Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries
    Lakeshea T.

    The price for what you get is insane. $14.00 for 2 chicken tenders, 2 slices of old bread and some warm fries. Then I asked for the mildest of the mild but the spice was too intense. I was in a rush and didn't have time to take it back so I gave the food away. The inside looks like it belongs in a throwback movie. It definitely needs to be cleaned up.

    It's been almost a year Dave's, and now you're in Atlanta ! One of my favorites from LA is hereeee!! We stopped by here on the way to Covington - about an hour drive for us. It was definitely busyyy, but we were there during peak lunch time. Both the drive through and inside were very busy, but we did find a table inside and chose to dine in. The wait was pretty long, but definitely worth it. We got a light mild and medium- they didn't feel spicy at first but definitely have a kick to it. I might be brave enough to try a hot. Flavors were soooo good and their sauce is amazing. Of course it's halal :) It's a bit of a drive but hope to be back soon!!

    Hot Box - Sliders

    Let's start with the location, the parking is limited. Since it's the first location in GA and Halal, it stays fairly busy. If you end up going during a busy hour you might not find parking. They do have a drive thru. The place itself since very busy seems hard to be kept clean. The food itself was a solid 7/10. The portion was pretty good. The hot sliders were cold upon getting it which was disappointing. The fries were a little crispy. The Dave's sauce is just sweet Chick-fil-A sauce. They do not have any other condiments besides honey, Dave's sauce, and ketchup. The Mac & cheese was okay, nothing exceptional. Overall, a pretty good spot to have in town especially for those that want a little kick with their chicken. Check them out on a slower day ofc for a better experience!

    #Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries
    Kai N.

    Me and my sister drove 40 minutes for this meal and it was well worth every minute no lie. This is the 1st location in Georgia and it's still fairly new so please keep that in mind when going to visit. There is a constant flow of people inside and drive through (even though that was super crazy) just be patient. Customer service was really good my server/cashier Corey was very helpful and thorough. I appreciate all his help! My food was delicious yes it was a little wait but it was worth it. My slider was so good and the sauce is amazing especially if you mix it with the honey. Tenders were really good too I wil try a hotter flavor next time. The slider was the deal breaker for me tho!! and the cheese fries were yummy, for this to be considered "fast food" I was very pleased! Can't wait to visit again. Nice lil scenery and I like the graffiti on the walls We ordered #4 1 slider + fries Chicken bites #3 1 tender, 1 sliders + fries (I added another tenders) 2 strawberry slushies....10/10

    Service: Keke the girl who took our order outside in the drive thru line was very patient, mannerable, informative, and had awesome customer service. The food: I got two # 3's and a # 1 My niece devoured her plate, my son said the red sauce/seasoning on the tender taste like Ramen noodle seasoning, and my opinion is this personally it looks very good, as far as taste goes it lacks flavor the fries were good and were seasoned but the tenders are just that. And we got medium and mild it was no type of kick to it spice or nothing. I'm going to say go try it for yourself it may be different for you and your taste buds.

    Mac and cheese. Nothing special about it.
    Rosalyn L.

    TIP: Go inside instead of using the drive thru. The line to order inside seemed to go much faster than the drive thru line. Pack your patience! Please, pack your patience!! A friend and I decided to try this spot because the location had opened in Conyers. I knew Usher had opened a location here but I assumed it was in the Atlanta area so when I saw it was in Conyers, I had to try it. We got to the area and saw there was a line of cars down the block. We committed that if we got in line, we would stay in the line no matter how long it took. We got in the line at 4:44pm on Labor Day and got our order at 8:48pm. 4 hours!!! I have never sat that long for food before but so glad I had company and can say it was an experience. We had the Dave Chicken bites medium heat, a tender and slider hot, and fries and a drink. I wanted to order an Oreo top loaded shake but it was no longer available. I asked the worker at the window if it was like that everyday (long lines) and she said YES! I love spicy foods but the tender and slider was too hot for me. The chicken bites with medium heat were more tolerable for me and had a great flavor. The macaroni and cheese tasted like the macaroni and cheese from KFC or some other chicken fast food restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was great. Was it worth the four hour wait delicious? No, but I will definitely be back once the hype calms down more.

    If you got it bad for Hot Chicken. R&B Superstar Usher is Co- owner of the first Dave's Hot Chicken in Conyers, GA With 8 more locations to come to the ATL area. Luckily, I was in the area so I decided to give them a try. The chicken slider was okay nothing special. The spice level was perfect I ordered mine hot it was just enough heat without it being too much. The wait time was 30 minutes and that was for the drive thru. The inside was busy as well. Customer service was friendly. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area, but I wouldn't drive out of my way to try it.

    Chicken & waffles
    PrncssLeahsMom D.

    I've ordered through DoorDash while at work and hubby and daughter have brought home for me, and every time was a hit. I saved the chicken & waffles for the next day twice and they reheated in the air fryer as if they were just ordered. I've never had fast food that reheated so well. Also the bread is always so soft and even though I love my food piping hot, I can eat Dave's lukewarm and still enjoy it. I've had the cauliflower bites, mini sliders, chicken & waffles and all were good enough to go back. Dave's my guilty pleasure!

    Symone S.

    Passed by this place one Saturday afternoon. The line was out the door so I wanted to see what the hype was all about. I waited over an hour for the food. I ordered the 2 tenders and fries plate but received one tender and a slider. The fries were hot and crispy! The best thing on the plate. I was not a fan of the chicken. The seasoning they used have a sweet taste and I don't like sweet chicken. I would not recommend this place.

    Great Ambiance!
    Noah K.

    I have seen this place on Tiktok, and decided to pay it a visit. Wow! It was incredible! I got the medium chicken and fries. Staff was very kind and helpful, I can tell they have a really good work environment. Ambiance is terrific! Bathroom was also very clean.

Deviled Eggs, Corn Bread, Sunday Plate, Grouper, and Seafood Platter. Undeniably Good. Service. Undeniably Bad! Muy malo! If you have to sit at the bar even when you have reservations. No bueno! If you have to flag someone down to get them to take your order. I am looking for an alternative option. If you charge a 20% service fee for services not rendered. Shame on you. "People will never forget how you made them feel". Well in a nutshell, not very valued. Having been in the restaurant industry of over 17 years, I have the perspective being on both sides, I would say service is the part severely lacking at Virgils.
