As someone who's experienced Dave's on the west coast you couldn't imagine my hype when they announced they would be in Tampa. Typically when businesses branch out across the country the experience is not as memorable in my experience. Not this visit though !! Dave's is still just as great as I remember it. The chicken is brined and fried to perfection and you get that savory sweet spice mix that Nashville is known for. I'm currently salivating writing this review so that is your sign to get Dave's asap. Ps their fries are a... read more

I've been hearing good things about Dave's and decided to check it out recently. It is a bit pricey when you look at the menu board, but the tenders are almost entire breast size. I tried the slider and asked for no slaw or Dave's sauce on it. It didn't have any slaw, but there was definitely Dave's sauce on it. Overall, a great chicken tender and the lite mild had just enough spice and seasoning without being overpowering. 

Business response:

Best. Chicken. Sandwich. Ever. 10/10. Both my husband and I said the same thing. I got the "lite mild" and I was so glad it was what it said it was. It had the perfect hint of spice without being over-powering. They had honey and Dave's sauce which were amazing with the fries and sandwiches.

This place is amazing. It takes a little time at the drive through but worth the wait. My only issue is I wish they had a heat level between extra hot and reaper. Always order extra Dave's sauce

Not saying to avoid Dave's hot chicken, just this establishment, I ordered a meal with no kole slaw and they put it on anyway. No big deal I don't mind them remaking it right, but when I gave it back to have it remade they pulled off some of it and handed it back to me, still covered in coleslaw on the bun and chicken. I brought it up again and this time they did the bare minimum of giving me new buns but the chicken still had coleslaw on it, 20 minutes of back and forth for my food to still be wrong. The chicken is good but... read more
