    Chicken strips, fries and Regular Fruity Pebbles Top Loaded Shake
    Tiffany B.

    This place really surprised me in the best way possible from the moment I walked in! I was greeted by the nicest staff who gave me a delicious fruity pebbles milkshake for my birthday, the food was incredible and so fresh, and the restaurant itself is spotless and super cute. I hadn't been to a Dave's location before this so the staff explained how the seasonings and spiciness options work and everything and I truly appreciated that! This is one of those places that I'm really excited to return to!

    We LOVE Dave's Hot Chicken! We went the first week or two after they opened the Wesley Chapel location and the service was just as good then as it was last night. The food is always hot and is ready fairly quickly, even on busy nights. It's like an open concept dining space with concrete floors so it can be a little loud when they're busy but they also have a little patio with umbrellas! We ate at the restaurant last night so these photos are what we took home. I got their 2 sliders meal with fries and medium spice. The sliders are topped with coleslaw, pickles and Dave's sauce. My husband got their 2 tender meal with fries and hot spice. The meals come with one side of Dave's sauce and 5 pickles; and their pickles are the best You may be able to tell from the photos but the tenders are huge pieces of chicken and like Nashville hot style. They have quite a few levels of spice and I would say their medium is a true middle of the road - flavorful and spicy but not overwhelming. My husband loves spice so he's tried their hot and extra hot and enjoyed both. Again, we love Dave's Hot Chicken and will continue to come back as long as we can find parking The Wesley Chapel location is in the Wiregrass Mall parking complex so finding a parking spot can be a little challenging at peak times.

    1st time here and I like it! Loved the customer service...Warm greeting and the staff here had no problem describing the different flavors and levels of "heat". I went the safe route w/ "medium" but kinda wish I went w/ "hot" for the challenge However, the food quality was good! Huge chicken tenders and nicely seasoned fries. Clean restaurant; cool wall decor; rockin' music. The prices are a bit steep (no drink included), but a good buy overall!

    Heard quite a lot of good reviews about this chicken chain, and I was pleasantly surprised! Chicken is very crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. French fries are also very fresh, and the Dave's Sauce paired well with both chicken and fries (in my opinion) Service is very efficient. Inside is very busy and bustling, there is sure to be a line during dinner rush hour. Despite the constant flow of customers, the tables and bathrooms are clean which I appreciated.

    This spot is super cute for lunch and I love all the different murals all over the walls. The people at the counter were friendly. I ordered a 10 pc. Dave's Bites Hot with Fries and a Diet Coke which I'd recommend trying. Comes with Dave's sauce which was pretty good or you can try them with honey.

    I paid $18.92 for a number one meal with an extra tender, but it didn't come with a drink. For the price I paid, I believe a drink should be included. In my opinion, the MEAL COMBO was costly. You could stretch your money to PDQ, Raising Cane's, or Hangry Joe's. I ordered our food to go, and although it didn't take long to arrive, I noticed about three employees standing behind the counter, leaning against it and chatting with one another pretty much the entire time. The dining area was quite open, and the kitchen and ordering station noise echoed throughout the room. Overall, the food was mediocre and did not leave a lasting impression. The fries were just average. The chicken had a nice dry rub and tasted fresh, but it wasn't worth the price. The highlight was the Dave sauce, although I believe Zaxby's and Guthrie's offer better house sauces. We ordered two medium tenders and one hot tender. I preferred the medium spice level over the hot, as the hot tended to leave a tingling sensation on my lips, but I wouldn't want that flavor on all my tenders.

    Delicious fried chicken- perfectly cooked and well seasoned. I got the medium spice but could have gone hotter, will try hot next time. Love the crinkle cut fries! And the sauce is everything!! This sauce is perfect, even has a hint of sweetness. Got it delivered so didn't visit inside the restaurant. It was still fresh when delivered.

    Daves hot chicken is new to Wiregrass mall. Cool graffiti on the walls and pretty yummy chicken served with fries and pickles!!! Great customer service. Fun for families and everyone else.

    Another chicken spot, but it did not disappoint! It was actually surprisingly good. The price was reasonable for 2 burgers (they call them sliders) and fries for $14. Can work for 2 adults. Added one drink and a side order of a tender for our toddler. The spice level can be picked and the "medium" was reasonable. I don't very spicy and it was manageable, very tasty. It is cumin forward in the dry seasoning on the chicken and reminiscent of Indian dish spices. Love it! The chicken was crispy and particular because there are dry spices over it. The sauce is a creamy condiment sauce, reminds me of chick fil a and very good. Fries were too salty and we returned them to get a fresh batch of unsalted. They were fresh, crispy and delicious! Would come back!

    Chicken is prepared and seasoned well. All the meals have generous Portions. Highly recommend if you want a different take on spicy chicken.

    Since this place opened, it had been on my list of places to try in Wesley Chapel. There are so many chicken places in the area, but I was interested in trying hot chicken from here. I've been to Nashville and tried the famous Hattie B's hot chicken and loved it. So I was curious if this would be a similar experience. The cashier was nice and helpful. What wasn't helpful was her interpretation of the heat scale. Her comparison of "medium" was "hot Cheetos". I respectfully disagree, because medium was not hot at all. I'll caveat by saying that I did not eat my food fresh. We ordered take out so I didn't start on it until maybe 15-20 mins after we received it. So maybe that made a difference. By comparison, Medium at Hattie B's is kinda spicy. So in the future I'll try hot. The restaurant seems to be a hit. Always packed with people and has a buzz just above fast food. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I'd recommend trying.

    Dave's hot chicken is now open in Wesley chapel in the Wiregrass mall. It is located in the old Irish 31 location. I've heard great things about this hip chicken spot and happy we now have one in our neighborhood. I ordered the 10pc Dave's bites with fries meal. You can select your heat level. I'm not a big spicy person so decided to try the medium bites and it was so good and flavorful. Not too overpowering on my tastebuds. For the tenders and sliders, those come in a variety of hot. Great location and addition to this area. Very popular and a long wait. Also, parking is a nightmare so pack your patience.

    The joy I had when I found out Wesley Chapel got a Dave's hot is unmatched. lol. Literally none of the fried chicken spots around here can compare. We went to another new chicken spot by the grove just before this opened and for the same price, we got maybe a third of the protein. Dave's hot tenders are HUGE. I will say, I wasn't a fan of the nuggets. We got them hot and as you can see by the photo, my sandwich and tender plate didn't even look the same as the nuggets in terms of seasoning. Honestly looked and tasted like plain chicken nuggets. I won't be getting those again but I will be back for the tenders and sandwich. Service was fast for it being their first week open when we went.

In a somewhat run down looking strip mall, the small restaurant was simple, but showing K-music videos on a TV. Unfortunately I couldn't see it from my seat, but I'll change that next visit! Our server was polite, helpful, and attentive. We ordered a ridiculous amount of food since we drove 45m to try it, so had a Kimchi Pajeon, Kimbap, Soon Tofu, and Veggie Fried Rice. The pancake was DELICIOUS-super flavorful and chock full of veggies. I did not care for the Kimbap, only because it had less flavor and was a little more dry than the other items, but it tasted very fresh. The Soon Tofu was spicy and full of flavor. It came with a huge heaping of rice in a cute covered dish to keep it hot - I'm ordering these things for home! The veggie fried rice, for which we opted no egg, was also fantastic, but we ended up taking ,ost of it and the pancake home for leftovers. We were also served Ban Chan - side dishes, of small tastes of seasoned veggies such as bean sprouts, eggplant, cucumbers, broccoli, radish, and more. It was all amazing. Sadly, we had no room for anything else, but I will definitely be back as soon as possible. SO worth the drive and expense!

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.

They were falling off the bone, but not as well done as I like mine. The flavor was there though, so that was good. HOWEVER, after a few bites I got a MASSIVE headache. In their defense, I haven't eaten pork in a loooong time. In my defense, it was only a few bites that I had. The sauce is a little different than what I'm use to so I used my own bbq sauce -- They actually gave a plethora of sauces which I appreciated.

We order two plate from chef special. The first dish is the Le Carnivore. This is the grilled skew steak and chicken. The steak was process and good tender.
