Dave's is the best hot chicken you'll find in Tampa Bay (or drive to Lakeland for the best in Florida at LoveBird Almost Famous Chicken). Of course, it wouldn't be a top 5 Nashville hot chicken sandwich spot in LA. When i lived in LA, I used to go to the one in Koreatown. That was probably 5 years ago. Now Dave's Hot Chicken is expanding across the country. I've even had it in Indiana. Dave's is always consistent across locations. Not the best sandwiches, fries, or tenders, but Florida has much worse. Weird, they now ... read more

HOLY COW! Don't walk, RUN to Dave's Hot Chicken! I got the #4 which is one slider, YES that is one slider and a side of fries. They give you tons of pickles and a sauce on the side as well. I absolutely loved that. The fries were seasoned to absolute perfection. The chicken was crunchy, crispy, and so flavorful. I've honestly never had anything like it, Dave's kills it when it comes to chicken. The service was quick and sufficient. I went to the location near USF so there were a few students working. The restaurant has cool ... read more

I'll kick it off by saying I'm not very good with spicy. I like it, however my mouth just doesn't cooperate. Started with mild tenders and sandwich to gauge. Everything was fantastic.

That being said the jump from mild to hot is night and day. That hot tender was also delicious and not initially that hot but boy did the heat creep up on me. Not only did it creep up on me i... read more

Nice looking spot, my favorite joint for Nashville style Hot Chicken will always be "king of the coop" Tampa. This was surprisingly good especially for something considered a fast food stop. My only 2 complaints are waiting for your order. Even on non busy days in the dining room after you order and pay, they give you a pager when your food is ready. Both times at non busy periods it was almost 15 minutes to get my order. Both times I went, the cashier had the personality of a cactus. Very edgy matter of fact and looked like... read more

Very good chicken! This is like a spicy, southern Raising Cane's. The food was very yummy, they allow you to pick your own spice level so everyone's happy. Service was very fast and friendly.

Excellent flavor! Just the right heat and sweet. Wait was a bit long, due to the grand opening, but was well worth it. Definitely be back.

Damn good chicken & it's affordable. Definitely worth a stop by if you haven't given it a try. Chicken is crispy & crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside & packed with flavor. Pull up!

The food is FANTASTIC!! My favorite is mild tenders and substitute cole slaw for fries. Ordering online is easy & you have the option to add or delete items from your order. The staff is very friendly, too, which makes this an awesome addition to our Tampa area.
