    Combo #3
    Wai L.

    We went to Dave's Hot Chicken for lunch. Dave's Hot Chicken is a new chain restaurant from L.A. The menu is pretty simple with only three different combos. The decor was pretty simple and disappointing. For a new restaurant, I thought that the decor will be better. I didn't like the music playing since it was very loud. We ate inside the restaurant since it was cooler. They had an outside patio, but it was kind of hot outside. The service was kind of slow. One customer complained that he got his food much later after other people. We both ordered Combo #3 which was a slider and a tender with fries. I ordered medium while my brother ordered a mild. The food was really good and tasty. Would we come back? Sure since the food was really tasty and delicious.

    Two sliders combo.

    Hello my friends, my visit here at Dave's Hot Chicken was friendly, and quick service provided. The food offered at this location is good, however the pricing is a bit high for what we get. They are famous for their hot and spicy chicken/sauces. I found their food a bit lacking, especially the amount of fries provided in the box could be a bit more. All in all, if you've never tried Dave's it's a go, but it won't be a restaurant I frequent every week/month.

    Overpriced, under-portioned, Daves Hot #2. Forced us to charge our card because they boycott cash. Now I'm boycotting them.

    My recent experience with Dave's Hot Chicken left me frustrated and disappointed. The inconveniences began with the rejection of cash as payment, a decision that seemed inconvenient and inflexible. When attempting to place an order over the phone, the insistence on using the app for pickup added another layer of difficulty. It's disheartening when employees appear unaware of the potential consequences of these corporate decisions, especially in light of the push towards automation. Perhaps once they are out of the job, they will be up in arms, by then it'll be too late. Furthermore the refusal to accept cash tips, which many consider a more personal and immediate form of appreciation, added to the frustration. Don't they know you don't gotta wait for cash tips to be dolled out. Attempting to order through the app became a test of patience as it timed out multiple times. This not only wasted my time but also highlighted a flaw in their ordering system. It felt like a series of unnecessary hurdles, leaving me questioning whether Dave's Hot Chicken values the customer experience. Feeling both hungry and fed up, I turned to BBQ Chicken (416-322-9990) a Korean fried chicken place just down Yonge street. Their willingness to accept my order over the phone, offer helpful recommendations, and accept cash payment was a stark contrast to my experience with Dave's. The positive interaction with BBQ Chicken only magnified the shortcomings of Dave's Hot Chicken. Ultimately, I find it hard to support a business that dictates payment methods and creates barriers for its employees and it's customers. It seems to prioritize impersonal and automated transactions over genuine customer service. In light of these experiences, I've chosen to boycott Dave's Hot Chicken, as I believe in supporting businesses that prioritize the needs and preferences of their patrons rather than those of automated systems. If more people were aware and boycotted, the policy would change. It's when good people will stand by and do nothing that evil is implemented. Their chicken isn't THAT good and their portions are weak sauce. Do the right thing for your future and go to BBQ chicken.

    I've been waiting to try Dave's Hot Chicken and excited that they're now in the neighbourhood. I'm not usually one who goes for hot and spicy food, but I was looking for something with a nice kick that's bearable for me. I wanted to try it all, so I ordered the combo with one slider and one tender on bread with a side of mac and cheese. Because I cannot take a lot of heat, I was debating whether to go for light mild, or mild. I ended up going with mild for both the slider and tender. When I got my order, I was surprised at the size of the "slider", it wasn't a slider to me at all! It's the size of an actual burger! Which is great, because next time I can definitely order less! The mild flavour was actually perfect for me! It was flavourful and wasn't a whole lot of heat. If anything, next time I can up the heat a notch too! The combo comes with a side of fries. The fries were delicious! There's seasoning on it and was distributed really evenly, it definitely made the fries addicting! I will definitely go back (and downsize my order next time)!

    FINALLY!!!!! I'm so late but better late than never The chicken was sooo crispy and juicy without being too oily but I didn't like that it comes with bread in every combo :/ Not to mention, the fries...OH MY GOODNESS....SOOOOOO CRISPY. Idk how they did it, but I liked that you can choose the spice level. I initially got medium but didn't feel the heat. So obviously, I got another tender with Mac and cheese but hot instead. Hot was good but definitely will try extra hot next time to feel the heat

    Wow, this was incredibly tasty fried chicken. I'm not an expert on fried chicken in Toronto, but I got this for delivery, and I was blown away by how good it was. The chicken is very crispy and a bit spicy, and it comes with some very crispy fries and a sauce. I really liked how the pieces of chicken come on white bread, it's a nice touch.

    Yesterday was my first time going to Dave's Hot Chicken- I've heard raving reviews about this spot from my friends and coworkers, and I was super excited to give their food a try. Dave's Hot Chicken reminds me a lot of Knockout Chicken, except the prices are a little cheaper. There are several different spice preferences, ranging from no spice to reaper- being the hottest one. I got a hot slider, while my girlfriend got medium spice tenders. The fries are amazing, so much better than your basic mcdonald's fries. The spicy mayo sauce that comes with it goes great with the fries and pickle slices. I'm not usually a fan of pickles, but they were surprisingly really good. The burger was very good. Although I found it a little weird that they didn't have any cheese, tomato, or lettuce in the burger, it did include slaw (mixture of cabbage and onion) and a little bit of sauce on the buns. I think I liked it better without the regular burger condiments; it really brings out the taste in the chicken. The chicken itself was so good- juicy, tender, and more than enough seasoning and spice to coat everything. The sauce went along amazing with the chicken. The hot slider was a little more spicy than I thought it would be, but still tasted good nonetheless. 10/10 burger spot! I left with my tongue burning and body sweating, but definitely coming back for more!

    When Burger King and your local pub serve Nashville Hot Chicken on the menu, you know it's a thing. For the record, I LOVE Nashville hot chicken from the first time I tried it at Hattie Bs in Nashville. I waited 3 hours to for it, and I'd do it again. Went to their Las Vegas location, and it too was outstanding. So when Dave's opened up, I believed the hype and lined up to try it. While the location is clean, the staff friendly and the food quality good, it's not authentic. You won't hate it, but at the end of the day, it's an above average chicken finger.

    Delicious but might feel heavy after eating it. Eat with extra Kale salad to aid better digestion.

    Bubba's Crispy Fried Chicken and MiTacos are family-owned restaurants. Mi Tacos opened 2019-07-26…read more They are from Texas and brought Texan Mexican tacos to Toronto. They launched a new brand on 2020-10-19: Bubba's Crispy Fried Chicken, inside Mi Tacos. It is a delivery and takeout only business focusing on fried chicken and a few sides. We had the Chocolate Chicken ($12.95), Nashville Hot ($11.95), Vegan Crisp ($11.95), Poutine ($6.50), Mac & Cheese Salad ($2.50), Classic Coleslaw ($2.50), and Fries ($3.75). I usually don't like fried chicken because of the greasy skin but Bubba's chicken skin is crispy (as in their name) and not greasy So I love it. The Chocolate Chicken comes with a very slight spicy chocolate and mango salsa; definitely a great combination. The Nashville Hot wasn't too hot but the cool pickles and honey greatly offset any hotness. I also love the the Coleslaw and Mac & Cheese were great. There are small tables and booth seating. During pandemic times, there are hand sanitizers available at the entrance and bar. Pickup orders are placed on a table at the front of the restaurant. There is also outdoor seating, weather permitting. There is free WiFi. There are highchairs. There are separate male/female washrooms. The restaurant is accessible, including the washroom.

    Move over, Popeyes!!!…read more This chicken sandwich is an absolute GAME-CHANGER. Incredibly crunchy on the outside, and thick, juicy meat on the inside. Perfect balance of textures. I hope they make it through this pandemic because they DESERVE this clutch spot in the Annex. With the warmer weather coming, this is easily picnic-worthy! I had the original, and it was so good that I can't wait to try the other flavours. Bravo, Bubba's!
