The chicken was pretty good and I like that's it's a little different from other chicken places with the spice. I'm a baby when it comes to spice, so I got it mild and that was perfect. The pickles here are really good too, and their fries are amazing! Their sauce is also really good. The service and ambiance were fine, but nothing to write home about. Overall a good choice if you're craving this type of food.

I wanted to wait at least a few months after the opening of Dave's in Gainesville as I know most people would still be curious about trying out this spot. I went on Friday during UF's homecoming parade so I could avoid the craziness. This is located in the Butler Plaza area adjacent to Whole Foods. I am very familiar with this place as I have previously reviewed the Altamonte Springs location. When I walked in, I loved the interior of Dave's because it's always very bright and colorful. In this location, it was themed arou... read more

Located on Archer, this location has a pretty crowded parking lot and it might be best to park in the lot right across from it. Relatively new to the area, it seemed to be pretty busy and well received when we went. Will be curious to see how this holds up being a bit pricey for quick service in a college town. The chicken itself was very tasty. We tried medium and hot in the tenders and sliders. While they label the paper with stickers if you order a mixed spice level, we weren't sure on one of them if they were actually di... read more

Passing through town & decided to stop at Dave's for a are lunch. I had #4, slider (medium) with fries & my husband had #1, two fingers (hot) & fries. Personally, I don't like mayo so I asked for the sauce & kale slaw on the side; I added the slaw & skipped the sauce. It was wonderful & I would get it again. The fries were yummy, cooked to the perfect crispiness. The dry-rub on the chicken was delicious; we couldn't figure out the all of the spices, but we had fun trying. There was a little line to order, but the staff was ... read more

Beautiful ambiance! Very nice service although when I went it was an incredible wait. The reason why it's a 3 star is because I got their hot bites...and it's just spice no flavor at all. The sauce definitely carries the spicy bites 100 %. I tried my mom's regular chicken bites and it was good it had flavor. So if you're getting spicy get extra sauce for it because you won't taste anything but bitter spice.

This was our 1st time eating at a Dave's Hot Chicken. The decor is unique with it's graffiti style. There were bar stools for seating along the windows and table seating with 2 tops, 4 tops, and a very large table that could be used for large groups or communal dining as needed. You order at the counter. We were dining in so they gave us a beeper. I liked being able to get a table in the mean time. While I was with another adult this was always a welcome feature when my kids were younger. I ordered a 10 piece Chicken bites e... read more

My husband and I came here to try the famous Carolina reaper and the very hot! Let me tell you it did not disappoint! Come prepared! If you can train your body to eat spicy and I mean SPICY peppers (raw jalapeños, raw serranos, Thai chili pepper or Habanero) for a whole week before coming! That's what I did! My husband was tearing, and I sat there like normal and never had a sip of my drink! WOWEEEE!!!
