I have been to Jamaica a few time now and have fallen in love with the cuisine! Found this place through a recommendation of a Jamaican friend and boy was he right! I had the oxtail and beef patties! The only problem is that I did not order more! The staff was super friendly and kept me entertained while I was waiting for my food to be prepared! Now that is hospitality with a smile!

(I ordered delivery) I got the oxtails with rice and peas and macaroni and a Patti and I was pleasantly surprised! I'm a bit of a harsh critic when it comes to Jamaican food (yes im Jamaican) and this was really good! The macaroni was my favorite seasoned very well and tasted fresh. The rice was cooked well, the oxtails were ok they could have been cooked a little more to make them more tender but not bad at all! I want to try other dishes from them for sure!

Oxtail, Rice & Peas, and Macaroni Salad

Food and services was amazing, was going to stop by on my way home to take a plate to-go unfortunately it was a holiday and it was closed 10 out of 10...

Jerk Chicken and Curry Chicken combo (not on the menu, but we asked for a combo).

The sandwiches come in generous portions, and the chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside while…read morestaying juicy inside. The environment is clean and welcoming, and the service was great. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

Stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken after seeing countless TikToks about the Reaper and Dave's in…read moregeneral. Curiosity finally got me but really I wanted to go to a sandwich shop but they didn't have my order available lol I ordered ahead, and thank goodness, because the line was wrapped. I don't think this location was designed well. The line blocks the side door, and the ordering area inside is pretty small, which made everything feel chaotic. I went straight to the pickup side of the counter and inquired about my order. The food wasn't ready yet and took about another 7 minutes, but I wasn't tripping since they were clearly slammed. I believe the associate's name was Bri, and she was nice with good customer service, which I appreciated. Food-wise, I was slightly disappointed. The tenders were a good size, and everything was cooked well. I ordered two sliders, even though I don't really like bread like that, one hot and one medium. They were marked, but honestly looked the same and tasted the same. Both were very mild, no real heat at all. I think they messed up my order, at least I hope so cause otherwise dubya tee eff, Dave. I added Dave's sauce and honey like the good people of TikTok told me to do lol, but the food was still just okay. I ended up eating most of the second tender by itself, and it didn't have much flavor. At least the chicken wasn't dry. The fries were crisp, and I grabbed some cheese sauce to go with them. I liked all the pickles and was hoping I could use them to cool off the hot sammich, but you see that didn't go as planned! Overall, I'd say try Dave's if you're curious. I'm not opposed to giving it another shot, but I'm in no rush.

I've been waiting forever for a Dave's to appear on this side of the country after visiting the…read morePasadena, California, location three years ago. Finally, a Dave's opened at this location on Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. Great location, great service with a smile, and the hot chicken was as good as I remembered it in California. Located on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard in the same plaza as City Furniture and Dunkin' Donuts, Dave's serves excellent hot chicken tenders with all the various heat levels ranging from no spice/heat to Reaper. For my first trip, I ordered online ahead of time their chicken tenders-and-fries meal with a 10-piece of chicken bites. Each came on white bread with a side of pickles and sauce. For the chicken tenders, I could choose a heat level for each. I went with the medium heat and the very hot heat. For the chicken bites, you could either order them with no spice, medium, or hot, which I chose the latter. For the chicken itself, excellently cooked, well-breaded, and fried to perfection, with a firm coating of seasoning. Based on the heat level, you can choose from no spice (no heat level) all the way up to Reaper, which incorporates Carolina Reaper powder into the seasoning mixture. Each of the bites and tenders I ordered was incredibly delicious and deeply satisfying. Heat-wise, Dave's delivers in spades. The Medium heat selection offers a hint of heat that will leave most people satisfied without being too hot. The Hot heat level was the perfect level of heat and flavor that you could eat all day, in my opinion. The Chicken Bites also reheat well for leftovers, which I used in my omelette the next morning. The Very Hot heat level brings the spice up a notch, where the heat starts to overtake the flavor, but only slightly. For someone like me, it was still delicious even if I was starting to sweat. For most, it may be too much, but they aren't heat eaters either. Next time I go, I'll try the Reaper heat level on one of the tenders to better compare, and see how far this Dave's goes to bring the heat. But the location is excellent. My food was ready when I arrived. The staff behind the counter were friendly and asked if I needed extra sauce, utensils, and more napkins. And with two high-ceilinged dining rooms that allow for those who don't want to sit near the ordering counter to have a little more quiet, it works well. Especially, with the colorful and stylish interior that's very pleasing to the eye, this Dave's is a winner.

Paper napkin pettiness! Why buy a franchise, if you don't want to supply your customers with…read morenapkins? The last location, I went to had three dispensers on the counter, facing outward to the lobby. This location has one dispenser, facing the staff behind the counter. As we were waiting, a sign was moved in front of the dispenser, so from the lobby you cannot even see that there's a dispenser in the store. They are too close in proximity to a similar business that will quickly say "my pleasure" to anything for them to be acting as if it is an over accommodation to be provided with something to wipe your hands with. What shall I use, my shirt? We ordered two Dave's #1's - one medium and one hot and a side of macaroni and cheese. The staff, was friendly. The chicken, was just as I remembered overly seasoned, but not flavorful. Something in the chicken seasoning, either cumin or saffron .....something leaves a fine/sandy/ dusty residue/texture during the chewing experience. The macaroni and cheese was reminiscent of "fourth grade 2nd period lunch" per my 13 year-old daughter and overall just as I remembered it's not something that makes me want to come back for more, unless it's for fries. I do suggest you try it if you have not, so you can make your own assessment, but also bring a roll of paper towels.
