Service was good and the restaurant itself makes you wander from wall to wall with the "graffiti" based art work. Food was ready fairly quickly and was hot and fresh. The tenders and slider were done really well with an abundance of sauces and dips to try. I wasn't a fan of the mozzarella I found the breading aftertaste took away from the taste of the cheese. Next time maybe the Mac & Cheese and cauliflower.

It was my very first time visiting Dave's Hot Chicken. I have to say that I was quite impressed…read morewith the taste and quality of the chicken. The service was really good at this location. In all fairness, it had just opened for lunch so I don't know how it usually is when it's super busy. This was a dine-in experience. The graffiti art décor keeps it cool & casual. The ordering process is easier than other fast-casual restaurants that rely on a number placed at the table. Here, you're given a buzzer. I didn't have to wait too long for the shake. It was received right after the order was placed. I love the top loaded cereal ones! You get your choice of a vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. I chose vanilla with fruity pebbles. Loved it! The hot chicken bites were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's a very generous portion. These are bigger than bites. The medium spice wasn't spicy to me, and I don't have a high tolerance to heat. I don't know if it was toned down, or if they actually gave me mild. Either way, it was still very tasty. I'll order hot next time just for comparison. The crinkle-cut fries are automatically seasoned by default. I didn't realize it at the time, but there is an option to get them unseasoned. The meal comes with a slice of bread, pickles, and Dave's sauce for dipping. I'd get the same thing again, only I would split it with someone. I'm not sure if there's an option for a 5 bite meal. The price of the meal was high due to the addition of the shake, but the chicken portion makes up for that. Honestly though, the halal chicken price is pretty much on par with other restaurants that serve it with this designation. There will be more visits in the future. I'm looking forward to trying the sandwich next time.

I wanted to try something in Lakeland before heading back to Tampa, so I decided to stop by this…read morespot. It's definitely a small, family run business, and they make everything to order, which is always a plus. I went with the fish combo, which came with two pieces of fish and two sides. I chose the fries and mac and cheese, and also added a side of hush puppies. Overall, the food was good. The fish was fresh and flavorful, the fries were seasoned well, and the hush puppies were a nice addition. The only thing I wasn't the biggest fan of was the mac and cheese. It reminded me a bit of KFC's mac and cheese, which just isn't my preference. All in all, it's a solid spot. If I'm ever back in the Lakeland area, I'd definitely stop by again to give the chicken a try.

I walked into Slim Chickens with dangerous levels of optimism…read more Big mistake. Before going, I watched a video on their website where the founders were talking about how, when they came up with the concept, they noticed other chicken tender places in the South "weren't doing it right." Now, they didn't say Raising Cane's by name, but come on. We all know who they were side eyeing. And as lifelong Cane's lovers, that got my attention. Because if you're going to throw shade at Cane's, the food better come out swinging. It did not! It came out dry, bland, and exhausted, with a texture that somehow managed to be overcooked and underwhelming at the exact same time. I didn't know you could ruin a chicken tender. I thought chicken tenders were one of those foods with a built-in safety net. Apparently not. Slim Chickens found the trap door. Then came the sauces. I asked the cashier what sauces he recommended since it was our first time. His response was basically, "I don't really like the sauces." That should have been my cue to turn around and go find literally anything else to eat. I tried the Slim's Sauce, which he described as ketchup and mayo with some herbs. That description was unfortunately accurate. It tasted like someone tried to reverse-engineer a good chicken sauce from memory while trapped in a break room. It was flat, boring, and nowhere near the level of Cane's sauce or even KFC's sauces. The garlic toast was another crime scene. Thin, wrinkled, cold Texas toast that looked like it had been toasted earlier that morning and then left to think about its choices. Calling it "garlic bread" feels generous. Calling it "bread" was already a stretch. The fries were those fake "hand-cut" freezer-section fries with the skin left on, like they're trying to convince you somebody in the kitchen actually touched an actual potato that morning. They were hard, overcooked, and tasted like they had been holding on for dear life under a heat lamp since opening. Not rustic. Not fresh. Just sad fries wearing a costume. And the atmosphere? Weekday lunch in Celebration, and there were maybe two people eating inside. That should have told me everything. A chicken tender place at lunch should have some life to it. This felt like a franchise location already rehearsing its goodbye speech. The funniest part is Yelp has this place sitting around 4 stars, but when you actually scroll through the reviews, there's a suspicious little cluster of glowing 5-star posts from "Elite" Yelpers around the same time. Maybe they all just happened to have the best chicken experience of their lives in the same week. Maybe.... All I know is what we were served was nowhere close to 5 stars. It was barely close to lunch. If the founders really built this concept because they thought other chicken places were "doing it wrong," I have some bad news: Raising Cane's can sleep peacefully tonight. KFC too. Slim Chickens didn't reinvent chicken tenders. They reminded me how badly simple food can go when nobody in the building seems excited about it. With Cane's expanding all over the place, this location better figure something out fast. Because if this is the product, I don't see Celebration celebrating it for long. I'm giving two stars, and honestly, those stars goes to the cashier for telling me he doesn't really like the sauces. That was the most helpful and accurate thing served to me all day.

In and out in about 5 minutes. As for the food, we got 2 - 2 piece meals, 1 roasted and 1 fried, the roasted chicken is so flavorful, it has a lemon herbs marinade flavor, delicious. The fried chicken tastes homemade, amazing! The coleslaw has a little (a lot, if you don't like spicy food like me) kick to it, but it's edible, my partner loved it. However, I didn't give it 5 stars because i wish they gave more fries, and the family size is pretty small, maybe for a family of 2 or 3 MAX. The fries were basic frozen store bought thin fries, they were a bit stale, not crispy, so maybe next time I'll try a different sides like the plantains and rice. Overall, it's decent and has potential.

First of all when a Restaurant opens there should be a GRAND Opening atmosphere for customers with…read moreopening specials and smiling employees making the place welcoming & inviting. That did not happen! It just felt as the usual, casual entry into a fast food joint with unhappy employees making it through their shift. They weren't rude or mean- just not cordial. IMO a Chick-fil-A Customer service training would do this franchise a huge favor. Now! to the most important! FOOD! I can't comment on the sides- I only bought chicken to take home. I bought 8 piece rotisserie and 8 piece fried. The rotisserie chicken tasted like it was marinated in vinegar over night- It should be called -VINAGRETT CHICKEN - instead. TOOOOOO flavorful, to overly seasoned. IMO the "rotisserie" would be great if the vinagre and the season were reduce. 75% less vinagre and 40% less season. IS THIS rotisserie chicken better than KFC, La Granja, Walmart or Publix? IMO - NO- all the others are better. I'll place Publix rotisserie as #1, Walmart #2, La Granja 2 or 3 interchangeably and Pollo Campero #4. The fried chicken is also way over seasoned. AND If you ask me- Is this fried chicken better than KFC, Popeyes, Walmart or Publix? The answer is a resounding NO. For me (though I can't stand Popeye's business model) their fried chicken is #1 (through I don't go to them anymore) they need an ethos change. Publix and KFC are either 2 or 3 interchangeably and Walmart is #4 - with Pollo del Campo coming dead least. Lastly. PRICE!!!!!!!!!! I paid for 2 boxes of 8 pieces of chicken each. Which should have included (though I'M NOT SURE) 4 breads and they were not given to me. I paid and that's chicken only without bread rolls. $40.31 taxes included Conclusion. If Pollo Tropical which I liked and was price reasonably didn't make it - I highly doubt that Pollo Campero will. My best wishes to them as I cannot in good conscience either recommend or visit again. This is a personal, honest review. Again I wish them well.

Most chicken places lean heavily on their sauces to provide all the flavor for their food, Dave's…read moreslams as much flavor as they can into and on their chicken before they even let sauces get near them. This creates a chicken tender that stands apart from their sauce and that's something special. I picked up the 1 tender and 1 slider combo and it was delicious. The tender had enough substance to not be dry, the Nashville hot rub was the perfect blend of sweet and heat. The slider comes with a delightful slaw and sauce with just enough to cool down the burn from the spice. The locations is really cool too, decorated for the surrounding this one has graffiti art of the watermarks, the theme parks, and of course some funky chickens. Hahaha The service was amazing!

I went there today to pick up an order I placed through Uber Eats. Usually, when you pick up an Uber Eats order yourself, they don't require a verification code. However, when I went to the front and gave my name to the cashier, she asked if I had proof of the order. I told her no, as I had ordered on my computer and didn't have a code. She insisted she needed verification. My phone wasn't working at the moment, which I don't blame her for, but the way she handled the situation was incredibly frustrating. I waited 20 minutes before I actually got my food. The cashier stood there talking on her phone, claiming she needed to ask her manager, but she never actually did. I didn't hear her explain the situation or ask anyone for help. Instead, she just stayed on her phone and eventually slid the food over to me. There was no apology for the wait, no "here you go," and no "have a nice day." She just slid it over with a smile while still chatting on her phone. It felt like she was purposely inconveniencing me. As soon as I mentioned that I had my ID to prove who I was, it was suddenly no issue, and she handed it over without ever checking with a manager. Very disappointing experience. While the food itself still tastes good, it is simply no longer worth the money or the poor treatment. I never expected over the top, bubbly customer service, the staff that used to work here would just get the job done without the fake enthusiasm, and that was perfectly fine. But there is a massive difference between a worker just trying to get through their shift and one who actively goes out of their way to keep you waiting while talking on the phone. Between the disrespectful service and the shrinking portions, this place just isn't what it used to be.
