First time visit at Dave's and Isaac made ordering a breeze. This is a fun & family friendly environment with plenty of seating. We ordered sliders, wings, macN cheese to start with varying levels of spice to try them out. The chicken sizes are very generous! Like huuuuge tenders! Good flavor on everything we tried. If you have good spice tolerance, choose something higher than medium. The chicken was all juicy and flavorful. The spices are nice and subtle (not overpowering). Parking is limited but there is a more angled parking if you can navigate around the crowded drive through line! Definitely going to try their slush and shakes before we go!

I kept driving past Dave's Hot Chicken and hearing how good it was, so I finally decided to give it a try myself. The food was AMAZING definitely a 10/10! Everything was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. I can definitely see why so many people recommend it. Now for the downsides. The milkshake was disappointing. It felt like it was 75% M&M's and only 25% actual milkshake. If you're expecting a creamy shake, you might be let down. Another thing to keep in mind is the price. It's pretty expensive, especially since the meal doesn't even come with a drink. I was also charged $2 for BBQ sauce. I don't mind paying for extras, but it seems like they charge for just about everything. The biggest disappointment was the customer service. The employee taking my order was very rude and rushed me through the drive-thru, which made the experience less enjoyable. Overall, the food alone would bring me back, but only when I have a little more patience. Great food, disappointing service, and an underwhelming milkshake.

Ordered via DoorDash and everything was packaged perfectly. They even included the honey and napkins I requested. The chicken was crunchy and based on the color of it I expected an explosion of flavor however, that was not the case. The chicken alone was basically flavorless. The coleslaw, pickles and sauce included helped for this sandwich to not be a total miss. Upon getting into the middle of the sandwich I got some of the medium hot seasoning. It was delicious and the honey on that gave it an extra something for fans of sweet and savory flavors. The fries were crispy but lacked in flavor as well. As others have mentioned a drink is not included with your meal. I would like to give this place another shot by ordering in person and possibly asking for some extra seasoning on the side because the flavor profile is amazing on the bites that had the seasoning.

Finally got a chance try this place out. Mainly wanted to see what the prices were like and it did seem to be on the pricier side in my opinion. The food itself was really good and flavorful. They offered extra sauce and honey packets and the service was pretty good. We went through the drive through so didn't get a chance to check out the dining area. We'll have to check it out again some other time.

Dave's Hot Chicken - Riverview was a great first-time experience. We visited the Riverview location that opened a few months ago, and it wasn't crowded at all. Service was quick, and our food came out fast. We ordered a two-tenders meal and a one tender & slider meal, one mild and one medium heat. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, exactly how hot chicken should be. The dry rub is applied generously, and the fries are heavily seasoned, so expect bold flavors across the board. The medium heat was perfect--definitely spicy, but still enjoyable and not overpowering. The restaurant itself was very clean, which always makes a difference. Overall, everything from the food to the service was great. We'll definitely be back.

This spicy chicken was straight fire. Been craving this flavor forever. Tastes just like those boneless chicken strips back home, so good.

This was our first time here. I ordered Combo #1, which was 2 tenders w/ fries (medium spice level). Hubby ordered Combo #2, 2 chicken sliders (extra hot) w/ fries. We also got top loaded fries (Hot). I ordered a Vanilla Oreo top loaded shake, which was incredibly delicious!!! I want to go back here just for the shake! That vanilla ice cream was so sweet & creamy & very vanila-ey (that's a word right??). Ok, I'll focus on the chicken spice levels now. The extra hot was WAY too spicy for me. I wish I hadn't eaten that one first. Hubby has a higher spice tolerance so he didn't think it was bad. I really liked the hot & medium spice levels. I LOVE their fries! They're crinkle fries, which are my favorite type of fries. The crispiness of the chicken was excellent. The decor inside was cool. Service was good. I would def come back.

The food was great! Chicken servings were large. I didn't check out menu before I came so I didn't know what to expect. It's pretty much only chicken tenders. No bone in chicken. I got the chicken sliders meal. It comes with two sliders. I thought they'd be small. You can choose different levels of spice for each slider. Medium is not spicy at all. Flavor was good. I would recommend mild for anyone looking for just a bit of more flavor but cannot handle spicy. You can get no spice. My kids liked it. Chicken quality was great. I would say my slider was similar to Chick-fil-A but better since the chicken was larger. Dave's sauce is delicious. Fries are crispy and delicious. They taste great dipped in Dave's sauce. Compared to Crossroads Hot Chicken, it's so different I cannot compare. Isaac helped us order. Excellent and friendly service. Parking lot is a bit tight. It's hard to get to the side parking since those in the drive through line pretty much block the one way street for our large vehicle. Inside has some wall benches and metal chairs. Even though it was a bit busy inside we were able to find seating without any problem. It took me about 25 minutes to get here but it was well worth the trip to try out something new for us. We will be back!

100% making it onto my favorites list. His place had an amazing hot chicken sandwich! I ordered just the regular hot and it was pretty spicy. That's coming from a spicy lover lol! Perfectly cooked nice and juicy and the pickles are spot on! Even down to the fries, nice and crispy and seasoned to perfection! You are definitely gonna see me checking in here a lot! 10/10

New, locally owned (!) chicken place. Being a standout in the chicken world can be a challenge, but this is standout good! Service was helpful and friendly. Cool graffiti art inside. Scale of hotness is accurate. My lite mild was perfect for me. My son got medium and he said it was solid. I really like the kale slaw on the slider. Pickles are tasty, Dave's sauce is too. Standard drinks plus frozen and boba options. Big portions! We will be back - highly recommend.

Great location in Riverview! The best part is they have a drive thru. I will definitely be a regular here.

I had heard a lot about DHC from food reviews on YouTube and had high expectations. Finally got the chance to stop by with a buddy, and we were not disappointed! We got a sampler to try as much as possible and thoroughly enjoyed it all. Awesome flavor, well prepared. Will be back as much as possible!

Dave's Hot Chicken just opened in Riverview off Big Bend Rd and let me tell you it's everything we didn't know we were missing! The chicken is next-level delicious, perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. You can taste the quality in every bite, and the spice levels are spot-on whether you're in the mood for mild or want to go full Reaper. What really made the experience even better was the service. The owner was on-site, checking in with customers and making sure everything was perfect. You can tell there's real pride in what they're serving, and it shows, from the fresh food to the friendly, welcoming vibe. This place is going to be a go-to in Riverview. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and try it. You'll be hooked after the first bite! Have patience with them as they work out the kinks. The soda machine was out of some flavors and ice when we were there. But all understandable seeing how busy they have been since opening.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and friendly welcome from the owner. The store was very clean, organized, and well laid out, with a great selection of Middle Eastern foods, spices, condiments, meats, fresh produce, and more. There's also a fresh meat section in the back. I purchased a whole chicken and asked the butcher if he could cut it up for me, and he gladly did--excellent service! Then I discovered the restaurant in the back. The menu looked so good that I couldn't leave without trying something. I ordered a family-style platter to take home, and it was a HIT. For $48, we received three different meats, rice, beautifully grilled vegetables, homemade hummus, pita, and sauce. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The best part? The platter was more than enough to feed my family of five. For the quality, quantity, and price, you really can't beat it. Great food, great service, a clean market, and excellent value. I will definitely be back!

They were also out of the crab egg roll, out of sweet tea, and out of lettuce in which we like to wrap the bulgogi. We ordered mandu, it was good but a little bit doughy because of the wrap they use, not as crispy as we would expect. I ordered the dolsot bibimbop. Mine came out first and was sizzling hot. No complaints, the egg had a runny yolk which means it was not overcooked like many I have had in the past. The bibimbop sauce is delicious with just the right amount of kick. Waitress brought out banchans, there were six different types, pickled eggplant, nori, broccoli, kimchi, bean sprouts, and cucumbers. Son ordered pork bulgogi. The plate was heaping with pork, and the sauce was nice and thick and stuck to the pork. Spouse ordered beef bulgogi and it took about 10 minutes for his to come out after our son and I had our meals. The plate was heaping, but spouse said the beef was a little bland, but some of the bibimbop sauce took care that. Son and spouse took leftovers with them. We were kind of disappointed in the items they did not have, but the lady waiting on us was nice and we realize they are a small business and when things are busy, it is easy to run out. The interior was a little dark, did not go to the restroom so cannot comment on the cleanliness but what we did see looked clean.

Our food order was the hardest thing she has ever had to do in life it seemed and then we got our food (part someone else's order / part our order and totally fucked it up). Let's get into it; We are at the speaker - I order 10 boneless towing buffalo. She couldn't understand this. She seemed I spoke Chinese - I wasn't, I'm Russian but American as they come. She then tells me oh well we don't sell that in mild sauce - I said ok buffalo sauce / she said they cannot toss in sauce so I said on the side. Like damn. Then I asked for Mac n cheese. She said sub the fries out? I say YES. Then ask for size of RANCH. $1.49 for side of ranch. The receipt shows my order - no sauce with buffalo on side and side of fries (but I ordered side Mac n cheese) so luckily while at the window - she tell her Mac n cheese bc the receipt was wrong - she said ok I'll get you Mac n cheese. I get my food- no ranch, no side of buffalo sauce. They gave me fries which were suppose to be sub out for Mac n cheese and I also got Mac n cheese. Alright so really fucked shut up there Mal, move on to the next order we got; Dave's #4/ sauce MED. Add cheese to the slider (only 1 slider meal) and add cheese to fries - We get the order- my spouse opens it and is like weird -2 sliders, no cheese, and no cheese fries- then we look at the order - Says "Russell" So we got Russell's order and Russel got our order. And this ladies and gentleman is why AI is coming for your jobs and I personally- CANNOT WAIT. Malaysijah- you work a drive through window and you cannot even succeed at it.

Everything we ordered was delicious, beautifully prepared, and cooked with care. I ordered the bone-in New York strip cooked medium, along with our must-have lobster mac and cheese, Caesar salad, creamed spinach, and mushrooms. My boyfriend ordered the sea bass, which was cooked to perfection. The lobster mac and cheese remains an all-time favorite--rich, comforting, and impossible to resist--but the creamed spinach has officially become a close second. It was so flavorful and satisfying that I'm already looking forward to ordering it again. I also love starting dinner with a Caesar salad while we wait for the main course; it's the perfect way to begin the meal. After trying my steak cooked medium, I realized I prefer it a little more rare, so next time I would order it medium rare. That said, the steak was still tender and delicious. The service also made the evening feel special. When I don't feel like ordering a drink, I always ask for a Shirley Temple--or, as I like to call it, a "Temple by Shirley"--served in a fancy glass. The team happily accommodated my silly little request, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch! My only minor complaint was that the steak knife could have been sharper. A steak this good deserves a knife that cuts through it effortlessly! Overall, I had a fantastic dining experience and would gladly return. If you're visiting the Seminole Hard Rock and want to treat yourself to an impressive steakhouse dinner, Council Oak is absolutely worth checking out. Between the perfectly cooked sea bass, satisfying New York strip, unforgettable lobster mac and cheese, and standout creamed spinach, there's plenty to look forward to--and the attentive service makes the experience even more enjoyable.
