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.

Dave's hot chicken slider. Fries and pickles.

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.

#Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries
Mahia Z.

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!

This is not halal and I'm not sure why it is listed as halal on Yelp. I don't trust the food at this place.

Tried this place for father's day brunch and fell in love. Being allergic to eggs can really ruin…read morebreakfast but this place has an menu with loads of selections that all don't revolve around eggs! I also appreciate when chicken & waffles is served with chicken wings and not tenders or strips! The way it should be! Be warned, the restaurant space is smaller than most but the ambiance makes up for the space. Food is served on gold plates with matching silverware. Overall great experience and highly recommend. We were planning our return visit while paying the bill lol.

Everyone was greeted quickly and staff worked to seat guests as quickly as they could. We had two classic chicken and waffles - one with tenders and one with wings - 4 of either and the peach cobbler chicken and waffle. We also had scrambled eggs, scrambled egg whites, and grits. The bone in chicken was delightfully crunchy but not overly so. It was just a little bit greasy but not overly so. Still I was glad it was served on a separate plate. The waffle was just big enough. I've had gigantic waffles that tasted awful and this wasn't that. No pulp in the OJ!!! The grits were reportedly just ok but I didn't try them. The tenders were equally crunchy and arrived hot. There's a sign that says they serve mimosas now.

Beautiful restaurant in Olde Town Conyers. Very nice vibe and perfect for date night. The lights…read morewere low and the music was on point. I got there just after they opened and glad I did because folks started pouring in. The restaurant isn't very big so you got to fit in when you can. The greeter sat me at the bar and Tee greeted me immediately after. She was so sweet! She recommended some kind of lemon drop and I took her up on her offer. I told her I like sweet drinks and she made it just like I like it. It was good but that drink was almost $20! I just about died when I saw my receipt. Next, she talked me into getting the "Statuh Sampluh" because it was half off and I get to try all the appetizers. I agreed. I loved the deviled eggs, shrimp, and egg rolls. The egg rolls definitely were my fav! For lunch, I had the "Stuff Flounduh" with added greens. The lunch was pretty dry. I think if they drizzled some type of sauce over it, it would enjoy it much better. They do have activities and I can imagine it gets pretty busy so you may want to come early or set a reservation.

Good food. Glib service…read more The owner requested a less flowery review and more substance. Less bone more meat, so to speak. For my last night in GA I decided to go to Vigil's. I liked the name and the cuisine. Pretty good reviews, but if you've been on Yelp as long as I have, you know that standards vary greatly. And Virgils was no exception! Food was excellent! 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.

I'm not gonna post any ugly photos and I'm also not gonna dog this business out because I get it,…read more"Times are tough!" So here's what I'll do, I'll make this both a post and a personal message to the owner... Dear Sir/Madame Business owners, CFO, CEO, Treasure/Acct., Associates... I remember almost four years ago when my wife and I stepped foot into your shop. It wasn't MUCH different than it is now. The young woman behind the hot bar greeted us, made us feel welcome, and I almost feel like she gave us the story of how they started the restaurant. It was a great experience and for us it was endearing as we had just lost my wife's father. We were new in town and wanted to find places that made us feel like home. Like her father made us feel, welcomed and comfortable. We travel a lot so we aren't avid patrons but when we wanted some Mo Better we went. It seemed that as these four years have rolled by, the story has dwindled into local banter with the regulars and basic hungry guests. I remember the cake box was full of desserts every flavor in stock. The plain pound cake was a heavy reminder for my wife and I of grand parents who baked similar goods. The hot bar was fully stocked, and the standard was clean and efficient. The health department gave you an 81...An "81"! The atmosphere seemed tired and clearly there was a shortage of help. I make up that by the condition of a 65% empty cake box, and the lack of enthusiasm of the ONE guy who was )ringing up orders, touching food, boxes, bags, reciepts, tongs, the drive through window, the lever on the drink machine, I could go on) that the pay isn't attractive and quite possibly there's not even a health plan due to this administration putting the bite on business owners. Attracting talented workers who are dedicated and committed is probably just as difficult because there's nothing attractive about working at Mo Better. Aside from all that Plus the two sides of missing potato salads in two different orders (one was from my order today) I hope, and it is my deepest wish that you take a step back, reevaluate, look at what's not working and get rid of it. Then think of what you can add to bring your business back up to a level where, maybe the business has increased and you have a rating above 90. There are possibilities available if you want to thrive, because at this rate, it doesn't even feel like really care. About my order...Here's the feedback: *The cabbage was mega salty. *The chicken was over fried or it was fried from frozen. Chicken shouldn't shred and become stringy and chewy when you bite it, that's a result of cheap cuts and or poor quality. *The potato salad (missing) *The cornbread was wet and crumbly I watched as the cashier/server/orderpacker, busily moved to get drinks for others. But I had to ask for mine. He took my to go order at 6:07, I left at 6:23. I clocked a recent visit to Piccadilly's yesterday around the same time. Nobody in front of me at Mo better 16 minutes. Six people in front of me at Piccadilly, 8 minutes. Distance wise It makes better sense. Wait time wise and accuracy of order even BETTER. I could write more but my point is. We don't have much left here in Stonecrest, I would hate to see this spot have to pack it up. Get together and come up with a new plan, flip the menu, add something that's exclusive to MO BETTER, something you can only get there. Change the operating hours, get involved in the community and connect to the people...Better days are coming, and sometimes a shift can set everything right and get you back into motion..."Good Luck!"
