    Dave's Hot Mozz 1 Piece
    Stephen M.

    I've heard all the hype about this place and was eager to try it when I saw it in a shopping plaza I was visiting. I went in thinking I was going to try several items but the prices were surprisingly high for what you get. I landed on getting some tenders and fries and a mozzarella stick that's seasoned similarly to their chicken. Wish I could say I loved this place but I thought it was okay. The only flavor I was getting from the flavor was a strong cumin presence. I like cumin but having three tenders coated in it didn't do too much for me. The mozzarella stick was actually more enjoyable than the chicken! Maybe I'll swing by and get a full order on those.

    Food was pretty good. I had it for the first time. Got 2 tender sandwich combo with a shake. The food was good, the shake was watery and melted so that was disappointing. The service also wasn't very good. UPDATE: I was sent this message after describing my entire experience. Nice I suppose, but they could have kept that. Will not return.

    Ordered takeout and was impressed! The food was well-seasoned and tasted really good. The chicken was cooked just right and the fries were perfectly crisp. The restaurant was steady with customers when I walked in, and my food was ready when I arrived! We'll definitely be back to try more.

    For Drake's birthday event, they were giving away a free chicken slider if you downloaded the app. I gotta say that the entire was fairly well organized. There was someone monitoring the line and had people waiting outside. It was also an easy event to do - just download their app and check out ur rewards coupon for it. When I called ahead to make sure they had stock, they actually picked up and told me the same thing. The food was pretty good! I got level hot for a chicken slider but it still wasn't spicy tbh. The honey and hot Dave sauce combo on the slider made it much more flavorful. The chunk of chicken was a generous portion. On their walls, it says if you leave a google or yelp review, you're eligible for a free milkshake.

    Got to try Dave's Hot Chicken when they were giving out free sliders for Drake Day - I enjoyed mine! It would've been $6.99 for this slider, which is a bit steep, as it's no bigger than a Chick Fil A sized sandwich, maybe even a hair smaller. Despite how expensive it normally would've been, it was definitely very tasty! I got medium spice which was perfect - just the right amount of kick and it was seasoned all over. Coleslaw that's in the sandwich is pretty standard, nothing special. I would be interested in checking out some other menu items, but it is a bit expensive for what it is Parking here is free but it can get a bit crowded

    Food I like how simple their menu is. It's easy and straight to the point. I get the Dave's #3 so I could try a tender and a slider both in extra hot. It has good amount of heat. The tender is a decent size and has slaw, pickles, and sauce. The fries are well fried and go well with their sauce. Service Kind people with a welcoming presence Ambiance Small shop with some seating inside. Super casual

    So if you want a hot chicken spot, this would be a place to check out. It's not super fancy. As far as the menu being expensive, it's pretty basic. You get sliders or strips. I sent a shopping center so there's free parking. There's a lot of parking as well but sometimes it does get crowded. You order your food at the register and then they'll give you a device that lets you know when your food is ready. The last time I went it took at least 15 to 20 minutes to get my sliders. I don't know what was going on or why it took so long, but it was really strange the fact that sliders and fries took that long. Two slider combo (hot) - The slider and fries were pretty good. The sliders meat was basically chicken tenders which didn't even fit in the bun l So you really had to go ahead and break some of it off to make it fit. But that's okay, I'd rather have more tender than less. My hot was good. It wasn't too overbearing and it did give you a little slight sniffle but nothing crazy. It came with fries which came hot in season. It also came with Dave's sauce. I'm not sure what it was but it had a little sweetness to it. Mac and cheese - The mac and cheese was okay. It wasn't like your auntie making it obviously LOL. But it was hot and creamy and had a pretty decent taste. I'll go back again. It's kind of like you get what you get. It's only tenders and tender sandwiches. But if you do like hot chicken, and you're in the area, it will be worth it.

    I've been on a hot chicken sandwich kick for years now and had to hit Dave's. Tennille helped us and she was absolutely a gem. She broke down the menu and was so incredibly friendly. Greeting everyone who came in and truly went above and beyond. She handled everything with care, attention to detail, and her personality just radiates. They do something different at this location because there was also another gentleman I interacted with and he was so sweet as well. The difference in service at this location vs the one in Buford is night and day difference. Food took a bit to come out but we were warned (appreciated that)and it was nice and hot. There is some seating inside but be warned the sun can beam straight onto your face.

    Friends wanted to try this spot as it's fairly new. And the crowd there definitely signified that this place is worth a try around lunch time on a nice, humid Saturday. The hubs ordered the hottest flavor (reaper), and he said the employees gave him a shocked look. I don't think a lot of people order this I suppose. He had to sign a waiver too. He was toughing through it while we were eating. And the aftermath with the digestion part was interesting. Let me just say that's what he told me. Both parts of the experience was painful. Let's just put it at that. We weren't super hungry after pickle ball so we shared Dave's # 2 which is two sliders with fries. Surprisingly we were able to each choose a different spice level. My choice of the medium was perfect. I'm a wuss with spice, and medium wasn't even that noticeable. Most of the group ordered the hot and extra hot level, and they enjoyed their sandwich enough. Though they were called sliders, they were a pretty sizable portion. Because when you think of sliders, you'd imagine something small and could be inhaled in like 3 bites. The chicken piece was juicy and plump. I really enjoy the flavors and all its messiness. The pickles were a nice plus on the side! Even a family nearby commented about the size of the sandwich so it's not really a slider portion but closer to a sandwich size that's just a smidge smaller. The fries were surprisingly crispy and full of flavor. Dipping it in Dave's sauce made it even better. Now I'm particular about my fries. And when I see crinkle fries, I always think it'd be soggy or lackluster in flavor. These were not such. They were crunchy with a kick of flavor with its seasoning. They were well flavored and delightful as fries should be!

    This weeks adventure was a calorie bomb. We decided to try Dave's hot chicken. This is a no frills - fried stuff only place. Don't come here if you're watching your waistline or looking for a salad. I ordered the #3 with fries with medium heat. The fries were excellent; the medium wasn't very spicy and the spice was more of a dry rub than a wet sauce. I'm Also told that the chicken is Halal certified if that's important for you. There is some seating along a narrow hallway; nothing seats more than 2 people. They also have outdoor options if you don't mind the Atlanta heat. Consensus: I'd come again. Next time, I'd opt for more heat on the slider.

    Keeping this short and real--I've been on a chicken tender kick lately, trying out all the hot chicken and tender spots I can find. Dave's Hot Chicken has been all over the internet, so I had to see what the hype was about. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to it for me. Just two days earlier, I had Raising Cane's and the food was served piping hot and super fresh. In comparison, Dave's chicken wasn't fresh at all--it had a gummy texture, and the flavor just didn't hit. I barely tasted any seasoning, unless that slightly burnt cayenne flavor was supposed to be it. The chicken was okay overall, but I'm clearly not a fan of their seasoning blend. The mac was decent, and the fries were your standard crinkle cuts--nothing special. Also, for a place that specializes in spicy tenders, offering only honey mustard instead of a zesty ranch or something complementary? That's definitely a missed opportunity. If you're curious, give them a try--they're popular for a reason. But personally, it just wasn't for me.

It's in a shopping center so there's free parking. It's right off Roswell Road so you really can't miss it even though it is kinda off in the corner but it's still easy to find . They have a little outdoor area so you can actually sit outside if you wanted to be in the element and it's actually covered as well because it's right under the awning of the building so that's an option too. You come in and it's a large shop but it's not a lot. Most of the space there is going to be seating. You can look around and they have a little market area but the market area is very small. They do have particular specific items so you can check that out while you wait for your food. You can see the menus on the board and everybody there is super friendly and they'll explain anything to you. We had a pretty good short conversation while I waited. Love the customer service . Hummus - I tried the hummus and it was okay. Nothing crazy about it and it was just regular and not like it was roasted red pepper or garlic or anything like that but it was decent . Chicken shawarma wrap - the wrap was pretty good. It wasn't great but it was pretty good. It had a lot of color to it, meaning they were seasoning it for sure, but the flavor was only okay. The flavor was not popping out of your mouth but it was a decent but subtle flavor. It was super tender! Chicken kabob - the kebab plate came with two skewers and rice with a salad and it came with some garlic sauce as well. I think that the kebab was better than the shawarma to me. It had the same char flavor but mixed with the rice and the garlic sauce, it took it up another notch as well. You got a lot of it though so it wasn't like you only got two pieces of meat per skewer and a small handful of rice. You got a bed of rice so it was really good. The salad was low quality but I really didn't care about that because I didn't come for salad lol. Overall you paid maybe like $12 or $14 for this. It wasn't bad for a full plate . All in all it was a pretty decent experience. They're very customer-oriented and customer-friendly so you go in there, you will be fine. They'll take care of you

The interior is very mom and pop with soft lighting and old ceiling tiles but well maintained with an obvious attention to detail and care. There is limited seating inside; you've got long padded benches set in the walls and small tables. They seem ideal for parties of 4 or take-out. You can squeeze maybe one bigger party inside if you really want. I snagged a lamb sandwich on recommendation; it comed your choice of a chopped salad, cup of soup, or rice. I ended up going with the soup of the day which is a curry chickpea. The lamb sandwich was a definite winner. There's a lot of care and that same attention to detail to constructing it. There was a 15ish minute wait but perfectly acceptable since it all came out fresh. The lamb slices were super juicy and flavorful and the sauce added that extra spicy but not too spicy kick that went well with the softness of the pita and the crunch of the fresh lettuce. The soup was piping hot so I had to wait a few minutes to let it cool but flavorful and smooth. I'd gotten it as a potential dip but the sandwich did'nt need it so I'd probably go with the chopped salad next time. Overall, Cafe Sababa does a lot of what I enjoy in Mediterranean. I'd definitely stop in again and try out more items on their menu if I was in the area. A very good first impression.
