Reviews With Photos - Dave's Hot Chicken

Jared R.

Sorry I'm not a huge fan of this location. We came here last Tuesday after Trivia down the road and were very hungry. We waited 25 minutes for two slider combo, which was .... okay. They were big pieces of chicken and the hot was pretty hot but for the price we would have loved a drink for our combo and for the food to come out slightly hotter.

Second time at this venue thanks to its amazing customer service. We ordered their reaper hot level- combo #2 and I thought it was amazing! My bf thought it was a little too spicy and something in between extra spicy and reaper would have been ideal for the second highest level of spice. There wasn't much people dining in, but they had a lot of pick up orders. I would highly recommend ordering in person as it's much cheaper than ordering through third party apps. This venue operates really efficiently; my order was ready within 5 minutes!

Simple and clear menu. Extremely clean space. Very friendly service and great hot chicken and fries to top it off. My husband and I grabbed two sliders and fries before leaving Toronto and were definitely pleased. We had mild and medium. The flavor was great and the spice matched the level. I had the Medium, but think I could have gone up to hot. The slaw on the sandwich was great, Dave's sauce added a little kick, and the fries were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Our order also came out really fast. This was an overall great experience.

This is an absolute must try for everyone. When Dave's first arrived in Canada the hype was insane, but surprisingly I never got around to trying it until recently. Pro tip: Order pick up ahead of time so you don't have to stand in the lines outside I recommend getting the two slider combo, it is well worth it and much better than just the tender. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, and the fries were very good as well.

Just stopped here for a lunch. Never been to a Dave's before. UNREAL! Actually good and spicy! The patio space upstairs was beautiful as well! I can't wait to come back

A new addition to the neighbourhood that replaced long mainstay Stratengers. This is the first Nashville hot chicken spot in the hood and the signage out front definitely lets you know that! We stepped into Dave's Hot Chicken as curiosity got the better of us. The inside of the resturant is bright and white with some pop tunes playing over the speakers. There is a dining area on the main level and upstairs with cafeteria style tables and chairs. We ordered the 2 tenders with fries (upgraded to cheese fries) combo that also comes with a slice of white bread, pickles, and their Dave's sauce. They allowed us to pick a different heat level for each tender which I think is a good move. We only opted to sneak a little bit while in the restaurant before booking it home to really enjoy it. The chicken tenders were really juicy on the inside with that spicy heat powder on the outside. I really liked the crinkle cut fries but the extra dollar for the cheese wasn't really worth it. The pickles were absolutely needed bit of acidity between bites of the spicy chicken and cheesy fries. So the question I never answered myself was do you eat it like a sandwich or just graze amongst everything in the box????

Pretty tasty! Fast service and I must say their fries are well seasoned. I am definitely a fan. Chicken slider was good. I do wonder though... How come one sandwich had one tender and the other had two? Was a bit put off but it was fine as I still enjoyed the sandwich. Mine was just smaller than the other. They have a lot of tables and dining. Even an upstairs which is pretty cool. Staff was okay, took our order fine. They also do delivery with food apps - you can't order online yourself though as you get redirected to the USA site. Overall would come back if I'm in the area.

We always get their combo with the 2 burgers and we share the fries as the meal is pretty heavy. Everything is delicious, the chicken is so well seasoned, and they give you a spicy mayo dip you can dress your burg or dunk your fries. There's also a patio upstairs now (El Patio - not Dave's Hot Chicken) and the vibes are super chill, and you can grab drinks while nomming on your chicken burgs.

Lambo's Deli located at the corner of Queen St. E. and Greenwood Ave. is the sandwich's shop's…read moresecond location (first one being in the Trinity Bellwoods neighbourhood!). This small shop located in Leslieville serves up some great sandwiches in a space that is primarily take out only (although there are a few bar/counter spots if you'd like to eat there. They are also open daily from 11am to 9pm. Menu wise, there are 9-10 kinds of sandwiches to choose from. They are all served on a sesame kaiser roll and cut in half. You're also able to add on ingredients on top of the already selected ones in the sandwiches. Each of Lambo's Deli locations also have a special sandwich, where this time when I went, it was the crispy chicken club. They also have soft serve as well (rotating flavours!). I stopped by Lambo's Deli on a Monday morning before the lunch rush and opted to grab: - Italian trio sandwich (soppressata, mortadella, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, picked red onion, arugula, pesto, Calabrian chili spread) - $18 - Soft serve (flavour was hojicha) -$5 Service was friendly and I received my soft serve while waiting for my sandwich to be prepared. It took about 5 min and it was nicely packed. Staff were great and handed me a handful of napkins as well. I ate my sandwich an hour later and before opening the packaging, the sandwich was pretty heavy! Looking at a cross section of the sandwich, it was packed with ingredients! The Italian Trio sandwich was delicious. The roasted red peppers, pickled red onion, arugula, and Calabrian chili spread added freshness to the sandwich which didn't make it feel so heavy with all the deli meats inside as well as the mozzarella cheese. The sandwiches are big and I could only finish half for lunch. Overall, a delicious sandwich shop in Leslieville. Lambo's Deli definitely packs a lot of ingredients in their sandwiches which make for a tasty meal. Be warned, the sandwiches are huge! Also...don't miss out on their soft serve too!

Stopped here for a sandwich to take to the park and wasn't disappointed. They have a nice simple…read moresandwich menu with all of the classics. They're well packed with ingredients, and cut in 1/2 if you want to eat 1/2 and save the other for later. Cute deli decor. While it's mainly take out, there's a small counter to sit at if you can score a spot. Nice side options if you want to make it a meal (pop and chips). You won't go hungry here!
