    Single Slider
    Queen O.

    Came here for the first time and got a mild slider. It was delicious and I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the slider. I thought they would be smaller, but the portion was great and filling. I took a star off for service because I had to wait a while to get my sandwich. I sat and watched everyone who ordered after me get their food before me. Eventually I got up to ask and my slider was just sitting there, but I guess they just forgot to call my name or number. Besides that it was a good experience overall!

    The service here was great, the staff was friendly and everything came out quickly. The food just wasn't really my personal taste. They use a signature seasoning on items like the chicken and fries that has a distinct, slightly chip like aftertaste that reminded me of Doritos, which I'm not a big fan of. That being said, I can see how others might really enjoy it if that flavor profile appeals to them.

    Came the day after grand opening, expected a wait cause they had just opened so won't complain about that. I love the ambiance, the decorations and paintings give it a nice style and feel to the whole restaurant. The food is amazing, i personally like the texture of the seasoning and the sauce... the sauce is amazing!!! I've been a couple of times and the service is still slow but i understand since it's actually decent quality food, the workers are friendly. I think the wait is 100% worth it!

    Ever since the Dave's NOT Chicken was released ("Chicken" Sandwich made with battered cauliflower), I have been a frequent customer. The seasoning of the cauliflower and fries compliment the entree. I am also fond of the sauce (similar to Cane's) and slaw that comes on the sandwich. Service is fickle, and at times the seating is a bit packed but I still come back. Overall, a nice option for plant-based consumers who are craving fast food.

    I got it delivered by door dash or Uber eats. I can't remember. They are serving up some really tasty hot chicken. However I would suggest eating there or picking it up yourself. Via door dash it showed up Cold lol but I know exactly how it supposed to be so they get 5 stars as I've eaten here before. Good: the sliders are top notch. I went with mild or medium because their hot is actually really hot. This is coming from someone who really likes hot food too. Definitely stop in and give them a try.

    I had a great experience at Dave's Hot Chicken! The location was convenient and the environment was comfortable and inviting. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service throughout my visit. Even the napkins were cool! As someone who loves spicy food, I was excited to try Dave's Hot Chicken. The cashier was helpful in recommending the mild spice level so that I could still" taste the flavors without overwhelming my taste buds". While I appreciate the recommendation, I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with the flavor of the spice itself. Although the chicken was good, I found the mild spice level to be too tame for my liking, and the spice seemed as if it had some taco seasoning in the mix, which is what overpowered everything in my opinion. I personally love tacos but hate the seasoning mix. That being said, I appreciate the thinking about me the customer, and about gradually building up the spice level for those who are new to Dave's Hot Chicken. Needless to say, I still enjoyed my experience and would recommend giving it a try if you're in the mood for some tasty fried chicken. I'll be back and when I come back Im getting something spicy, and I'll add to this review when that happens. Also, the chicken is pretty hefty, so whatever combo I got is actually enough for two people who aren't greedy

    Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries
    Kendra G.

    This was my first try at Dave's Hot Chicken. Since there isn't one in my state I knew I had to try it. I arrived and went through the drive thru & the speed of service was great. I ordered a slider & tender combo, my slider was Hot while my tender was medium. The medium tender didn't have that great of flavor, however the slider was the star of the show. The heat was there but not overbearing, also there was 10x more flavor on the chicken slider than the tender. I had a great experience with visiting so Id definitely come back.

    In a world where good customer service has all but died, Ms Lorraine will brighten your day. She's so welcoming and attentive. Smiles from ear to ear and kills the order with absolute efficiency. If you need some excellent customer service, this is the spot. The food is awesome as well!

    My husband was excited to try the Reaper and it did not disappoint! I liked my sandwich, the fries were good but they would be better without the seasoning. Although my husband liked the seasoning. The girls taking our order were super helpful and made good suggestions! Super clean and inviting with comfy seats along the wall.

    Single slider

    I've never tried this place so thought I'd give it a try and went through the drive thru. The first thing I was struck by are the high prices, but hoped it was worth it. I ordered a single slider (medium) and a small drink. I paid $9.61 which is a little high for something the size of a regular cheeseburger. The chicken has a good crispness but it was not spicy AT ALL! I tried the Dave's sauce which is too sweet so I set that aside. The customer service was good and very friendly. But due to pricing and food was quality I wouldn't return.

We also had the Chana Masala, this is the best Chana I've tried, so garlicky, so good, the chickpeas had the perfect texture as well, again mild on the spiciness, just great. We also had Chicken Szechuan chaomein, great noodles, the Szechuan flavor on this dish was just spot on. I'm so happy we came to try this place, I can confidently say and confirm this is one of the best places to eat in Houston. I can't recommend just one dish, but don't skip the Chana Masala.

A 2-year Michellin star BBQ joint was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. My friends and I got there around 10am and were lucky enough to grab a number. The number secures your spot in line but don't worry if you show up and they run out, there's a spot on the porch where the non-number line starts. We ordered moist brisket, garlic sausage, and the beef rib. For sides, we went with mac and cheese and beans. Everything was superb! The brisket melted in your mouth, no knife needed. The sausage had a nice snap to it and get great flavor. The bark on the beef rib was *chef's kiss*. The mac and cheese was creamy while the beans had a nice sweet and tangy flavor. The service is also great! While we were eating, staff would regularly check all of the tables to check if anyone needed anything. The staff taking our order also chatted with us about other BBQ spots we've been to. Everything was such a great experience and the quality of the food is 100/10!

Sadly, it closed shortly after my visit. But I read in the reviews that this was formerly a Burrito District, so I didn't even realize this was the former Ori'Zaba's until I walked in. So apparently this spot has struggled to keep one concept for whatever reason. The interesting thing about Wise Street Eats is that you can opt to build a healthy bowl with Greek inspirations, or you can do what I did and order the Dirty Mac bowl with fried chicken, mac-n-cheese and cajun fries. I'm a real sucker when restaurants put "Most Popular" on their menu, which made my decision to order this, a quick one. What I will say is that, while I enjoyed the Dirty Mac, in retrospect, I would have preferred if it was a side dish, rather than my entire meal, because it was quite heavy (as one would expect). About halfway through it, I realized I was going to have to bring the energy to take down this valiant opponent. Next time, I'll build a bowl. Or maybe even go with a burger. But I do appreciate the dirty mac and if I was still a man who got hungover, I'd consider it a pretty elite hangover remedy.

It's a pretty simple meal , rice on the bottom and chicken on top ,but sometimes simple just works.

So if you've had Panda Express teriyaki chicken before, that's probably the closest comparison I could give. One thing that definitely made the bowls even better was adding the soy sauce packets they had on the side. That extra flavor pulled everything together for me. Overall, I enjoyed it.
