First time trying this spot. I started off with the medium. It had a lil bite to it but not too hot. I'd like to try the next step up to see how much of a difference the spice factor would be. My favorite was thr loaded fries. The bite size chicken was perfect. They did a good job on the cauliflower bites.

Delicious fried chicken- perfectly cooked and well seasoned. I got the medium spice but could have gone hotter, will try hot next time. Love the crinkle cut fries! And the sauce is everything!! This sauce is perfect, even has a hint of sweetness. Got it delivered so didn't visit inside the restaurant. It was still fresh when delivered.

We LOVE Dave's Hot Chicken! We went the first week or two after they opened the Wesley Chapel location and the service was just as good then as it was last night. The food is always hot and is ready fairly quickly, even on busy nights. It's like an open concept dining space with concrete floors so it can be a little loud when they're busy but they also have a little patio with umbrellas! We ate at the restaurant last night so these photos are what we took home. I got their 2 sliders meal with fries and medium spice. The sli... read more

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!

Really mid. Going up against the other chicken palaces in Wesley Chapel (unofficial chicken capital of the world), this place is not one I would recommend or return to. It's akin to Nashville hot chicken with sweet/spicy dry rubs. The chicken tenders were HUGE so don't be put off by only being able to order 2. However the portion of sauce given is seriously lacking for how dry these are. I had to use a lot of honey and still felt like I was coughing it down. I opted for slaw which was tasty, but nothing to write home about. ... read more

Another chicken spot, but it did not disappoint! It was actually surprisingly good. The price was reasonable for 2 burgers (they call them sliders) and fries for $14. Can work for 2 adults. Added one drink and a side order of a tender for our toddler. The spice level can be picked and the "medium" was reasonable. I don't very spicy and it was manageable, very tasty. It is cumin forward in the dry seasoning on the chicken and reminiscent of Indian dish spices. Love it! The chicken was crispy and particular because there are... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken was a nice Friday night getaway with the family! Having a newborn, their patio seating was great for those looking for fresh air and ample space for baby carriages. This is a fast food concept, order at the counter and pick up at the counter when they call your order. Love that they have a scale of heat for the sauces. If you love spicy like me, don't settle for hot (because it wasn't spicy IMO) and go for extra hot instead :)

I just tried Daves for the first time, I ordered through Doordash. I took a chance with trying the Reaper tender and I regret it very much. The spice level on the reaper is no joke, I wpuld suggest do not go past Hot if you want flavor and spice. The slider spice level I picked was Hot and it was perfect. The fries are very good as well since they are also seasoned. I would absolutely order from here again 

Business response:

Respect for taking on the Reaper, Pathik! That one’s definitely not messing around. Glad the Hot level hit the sweet spot for you—solid choice. Appreciate the support, and we’ll be ready for your next order!
