While visiting Richmond, we decided to stop by Dave's Hot Chicken because the boys saw it on TikTok…read moreand had to try it. Of course, they wanted to do the challenge and try the hottest level--the "Reaper." But baby...when I found out it required me to sign a waiver?! Yeah, that was a hard NO for me. So we played it safe--one got the medium, and the other went with the hot (or super hot--whatever is right under that Reaper level). Now for me--I kept it cute and went with the mild slider and fries. I only ordered one slider because I saw how big they were on someone else's plate, and I was right--it was HUGE! And let me tell you, it was actually really good. The chicken was flavorful, crispy, and cooked just right. And listen... I am not a coleslaw person at all, but theirs? Surprisingly good! The pickle added that perfect sweet and tangy kick that pulled everything together. The restaurant itself was clean and had some really cool, colorful artwork that gave it a fun vibe. And the service? Excellent! The cashier was friendly, patient, and really knowledgeable about the different heat levels and flavors, which made ordering super easy. Now, the only downside for me was the price. It felt a little high for what you get, (the meal did not include a drink) so I did take off a star for that. But overall, the food was good, the kids really enjoyed it, and it was a fun stop during our trip. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend checking it out! Rating: 4/5

That said, while it's definitely a strong option, it's not my personal top pick for hot chicken in Richmond. I tend to look for a little more flavor depth alongside the heat. Still worth trying, especially if you're craving something reliably spicy -- it just doesn't quite take the crown for me.

The chicken wings are fried perfectly - not chewy slightly crispy. The Thai Chilli wing sauce has a slight amount of heat. The fries here are great - They are always giving a reasonable amount and they are very fresh. The lemonade is top tier - The fruit in the cup are just a nice pop, soft. The Philly Cheesesteak is good - large helping for a nice price. All of the food is reasonably priced. The staff is very nice and know what they are doing. Highly Recommend!

My Steve and I didn't know there were so many ways to prepare chicken salad. There are. And the cute thing is all the menu items have names. The fruit salad chicken salads are called fruity Fran and Fancy Nancy. The traditional scoop with just celery and seasoning is called Traditional Carol. For people who aren't chicken salad fans like my Steve there are options like egg salad and a turkey club. My favorite is the Lemon Lauren chicken salad. And the sides are not be believed. My husband loves the Mac and cheese while I enjoy the grape salad green salad and pasta salad. We like the cheerful mint green walls and old time black and white photos.

The chicken itself was not dry, it was very good texture and flavor. The sauces that come with it were also all very tasty. (There was a spicy red, a mild green, and a yellow) The green and red were probably my favorite. First time having Yuca Fries, they went well with the sauce! The string beans and steamed veggies were lowkey also really good and went well with the chicken, rice, and black beans. There was also the shrimp ceviche which was definitely different than what I normally get went well, when I wrapped all the stuff in a lettuce leaf(not sure if that's what you're supposed to do). It had shrimp, some kind of sweet potato(which was good!), and Peruvian corn which was super cool. Then there was the Bistec a lo Pobre, which had Carne Asada, with fries and rice and other stuff. Also very good. Then the plantains which were all very good, definitely added a nice sweet addition to the meal. To top it all off, there was a cookie I was not sure the name of but it was good LOL. Will definitely be coming back here to try more stuff. I will say, I think knowing spanish helps a lot if you come here

I found that strange given that they serve Peruvian food, which is not your every day offering. Anyhoo, the ambiance is boring and uninspired. The menu is a mix of Peruvian (I guess?), Mexican, and Middle Eastern. Some of the unexpected menu items are ceviche, beef heart, and gizzards or chicken livers? I forget but something like that. They also have yucca and plantain. I wanted Peruvian so I went with their 1/4 chicken, green rice with black beans, and mixed vegetables. The mixed vegetables were from a can. (Yuck) The green rice was zesty and novel. The chicken was well seasoned and really juicy. Portion sizes were plentiful. You won't leave hungry.
