    Small Top Loaded Fries
    Ayesha L.

    My son wanted to try this because he is a chicken tender connoisseur. Be prepared to wait, this is not fast food and each time we have gone there has been a line both inside and in the drive thru. The loaded fries are a 8.5/10 the milkshake I would skip as mine was watery so I give that a 2/10. We will go back because each time we say our spice level wasn't that hot. I have only made it up to Mild.

    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
    Jina P.

    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!

    Visited 6 June 2026…read more Overall, we had a good experience. Parking is shared with other businesses in the plaza, but there is plenty of available parking, including enough space to accommodate 18 wheeler trucks. When we first arrived, the older employee seemed a bit intense. He encouraged us to take our time reviewing the menu, but remained nearby watching us before we ordered. He also came across as somewhat aggressive while my friend was placing their order. After another customer voiced a complaint and left, his demeanor appeared to improve and the remainder of the visit was more pleasant. The food portions were very generous. We ordered the goat with chapati, which resembles roti skin, and two people were able to share it comfortably and leave satisfied. We also shared the king fish and rice, which was excellent and still left us with leftovers. Another friend ordered the tibis with spaghetti, and that portion was large enough that leftovers had to be taken home as well. The menu described the tibis as spicy, but we did not find it spicy at all. The food was flavorful, the portions offered great value, and there was plenty of seating available. While the service could have been more welcoming at the start, the quality and quantity of the food made for an enjoyable dining experience overall.

    Stopped by around 11PM on a Friday night. Don't expect to roll up and dip with your food real…read morequick. We legit waited 52 minutes to get out food. Yes, 52 minutes! Lol Place is tucked away in a shopping plaza next to a lounge. No dine in option. You walk up to place your order at a window. Everybody pulls their car to the curb and waits inside. The available options were pretty limited compared compared to the menu. Their vegan options are what caught my eye. Menu had a vegetable burger. Black bean, lentil, quinoa, and mushroom based provolone! See that excitement?? Yeah no, it wasn't available. Lol. They also didn't have most of the meat options either. She said the menu was two years old, which is a disservice to the customers. Below is what I got instead. Veggie wings (breaded cauliflower) - Love that it's eggless batter! Ordered brown sugar jerk sauce on the side. They were really good without the sauce. Not jam packed with flavor but you're not missing anything at all. Huge huge portion size and was not overly battered. Would definitely order again. Soy chicken wings - Not on the menu but available. I ordered with hot and lemon pepper sauce. These ended up being pretty good! I wish I got the extra hot and didn't didn't taste like it had lemon pepper on it but still flavorful overall. Fries - Nothing special about them but they were good. Perfect Wellness Tea - Hmmm, this wasn't my jam at all. Sounded like a great idea because I tend to love drinks like this. Not sure what herbs they use but I couldn't drink it.

    New to the area and so happy to report that the burgers and wings @ Burger Baby are theeee bomb!…read moreFirst of all, i am VERY picky about the meat i consume. i tend to abstain from most burger places because (full disclosure: i'm not originally from America) i grew up only eating beef, chicken, turkey, etc. that was WELL-SEASONED PRIOR to it being cooked. So, basically, as many American burger places simply grill the beef and then put condiments on top, i've not been a big burger eater...UNTIL LAST NIGHT WHEN I ORDERED FROM BURGER BAYBEHHHH!!! Let me tell you - i tried the turkey burger and the regular cheeseburger AND THEY WERE BOTH EXCELLENT. Perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of condiments on top, nice and moist with a dab of ketchup for each bite - flavorful perfection. And as much as i love being a glutton, i highly appreciate that each order consists of 2 sliders - perfect for sharing and easy to eat without the feeling of being stuffed. i also ordered the regular hot wings and these were splendid as well. Perfectly brined, seasoned, and fried with no hint of the "raw" smell that can sometimes accompany inferior wings. Plus the seasoned fries were the ideal complement to all the entrees. Only minus 1 star because Burger Baby serves their food in styrofoam - no snobbery here, but rather styrofoam is AWFUL for health. The leeching of chemicals into the food is something i justifiably worry about. Especially as there are many affordable paper-based alternatives. Please do a bit better with your serving ware, Burger Baby! i'll certainly be a repeat customer if they nix the styrofoam carryout containers. Nevertheless, the food is top notch!
