I've been seeing Dave's all over tiktok and I was so happy when I found out that one was opening in Birmingham. Once I saw how packed the place was on a Wednesday night, I knew it would be gas. I ordered a hot slider and hot tender with fries. The other reviews I saw were complaining about the spice being lackluster. Maybe I'm just a wuss but I think that the chicken was pretty spicy. I had to use a bunch of sauce. To me the fries were really good and crispy and the sauce is AMAZING. I would like to see more on the menu but ... read more

My partner has been waiting on this since the start of the summer. Today we made it! For the day after grand opening, we waited about 20-30 minutes before being served. Pretty good! The food itself was fine. It didn't blow my mind nor disappoint. The hot apparently isn't that hot. If you're looking for a burn, go higher on the scale. 

Business response:

Thanks so much for giving us a try and for sharing your experience! We're glad you and your partner finally made it in. Happy to hear the wait time was manageable on such a busy day, and thanks for the tip on the spice level! We hope to impress you even more next time – we’d love to make it a 5-star experience.

Okay, first time at a new place for the soft open. So here's the good, bad and the ugly. Good - Plenty of friendly employees who are genuinely trying to provide a great first impression. The space is attractive and fun. It feels like you're at a theme park restaurant with colorful artwork and spacious architecture. The chicken was cooked nicely but there was nothing special about it. More on that later. Bad - Given the complex cultural and social rules of various ethnic and religious communities, employees shouldn't be tou... read more

Very, very slow service. This is not a place to go on a lunch break. Waited over 30 minutes and still not food. The food is great.
