Loved our first time here. Went with the medium chicken bites and they were amazing. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the heat was minimal. Next time I will try the hot ones. Mary Jane took care of us at the register and she was a pleasure to interact with! Very smiley and fun. 10\10
Business response:
Love to hear it! Medium is a great start—hot should be a fun upgrade next time. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Mary Jane!
Mary Jane is the goat. She was so nice when taking my order and made my experience amazing!
Business response:
Appreciate the shoutout for Mary Jane! We love hearing when our team makes a difference.
If you like chicken you must try Dave's. They offer bites, tenders and sliders The best thing is that you can customize your heat level from 0 heat to reaper. The chicken is very moist and tender and delicious. I got the 10 pc bites with mild heat and substituted Mac and cheese instead of fries for no additional cost. The Mac and cheese was delicious and quite creamy too. If Chicken is not your thing they also have fried cauliflower. My wife got the tender and slider combo an I must say the tender was absolutely huge.
Business response:
Great choice on the bites and mac swap! And yeah, our tenders are no joke when it comes to size. Hope to have you back for another round soon!
Today, for the fun of it, I declared a chicken war to see who is better. Bonchon Korean Fried Chicken vs. Dave's Hot Chicken. Winner Bonchon. I bought the requisite chicken tenders, two levels of heat and a side of mac-n-cheese. The chicken is very good, moist, flavorful, a tad spicy but had no crunch. I expected a wonderful crunch...bummer. It was very lightly battered and very lightly sauced. There were pickles included and the tenders were resting on 2 slices of white bread. I'm a big fan of the dipping sauce included. ... read more

Thanks for giving us a try in your chicken war! We appreciate the detailed breakdown and honest review—hope to see you again.
Wow I love this restaurant so much! The service is phenomenal to start off with - the cashiers are so friendly and personable. The food is absolutely delicious - I've never had such perfectly seasoned, crispy chicken tenders before. The French fries are great too - very crispy and well seasoned and not greasy. I came here on a busy night and the cashier even surprised us with a free slushee for my daughter. Highly recommended!
Business response:
Thanks so much for the glowing review, Steph! We're thrilled to hear that you loved the chicken, fries, and the friendly service. It's awesome that we could surprise your daughter with a free slushie—thanks for making our day! Looking forward to having you back soon!
Parking is wild. lol it's so packed in the mall. We didn't have to wait long to order our food. Customer service was good. They let us put some tables together since our party was pretty big. Since it's new, the place was busy. Placed our order at 730 got our food for a party of 6 at 744 The sliders we got were the best. We chose medium for the sauce. We also got the loaded fries which had nacho cheese. The tenders were good we got those mild flavor. Kids got the 10 chicken bites to share with some fries. Dave's sauce is ve... read more
Very solid restaurant to go to for hot chicken! Location is very convenient for anyone in the USF area. The hot chicken was substantial, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. The chicken was spicy, but was well balanced so you taste both heat and flavor. The ambiance is nice and modern, with a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating. This is a decent place to get a few friends together to share a meal. The people working here are very friendly, but just be aware that service can be a bit slow at times. But over... read more
Love Dave's! None near my house, so happy to be getting delicious food while visiting Tampa
My son who goes to USF introduced us to this place. He found out about it from his professor! (Everybody is talking about it lol). The chicken is so good! There is a bit of a wait time so plan ahead. Every time we come to town, we get Dave's Hot chicken.
