Dave's NOT Chicken Mini Sliders (Cauli) w/ Fries

About the Dave's NOT Chicken Mini Sliders (Cauli) w/ Fries
This combo bundles the Cauli Mini Sliders 4-pack with a side of crinkle-cut fries for a full vegetarian meal that doesn't compromise on the Dave's experience. Each slider stacks fried cauliflower on a soft potato bun with kale slaw, dill pickles, and Dave's Sauce, and the fries add the salty, crispy contrast that lets the spice rub shine.
Pairing fries with the cauli 4-pack is the most satisfying way to order it as a standalone meal. The neutral crunch of the fries resets your palate between sliders, keeping the heat enjoyable at Medium and above. All seven spice levels are included, so you control exactly how much Nashville heat lands on your meatless plate — and the batter and slaw dressing contain dairy and eggs, so it's vegetarian but not vegan.

How to Customize
Free Heat, Any Level
All seven spice levels are included at no charge on the cauli sliders. The fries stay neutral so they pair with any heat you choose.
Add Cheese
Melt cheese onto the cauli sliders for extra richness and a dairy buffer that softens the spice at Hot and above.
Load the Fries
Ask about cheese-fry or sauced-fry options at your location to turn the side into a loaded fry experience.
Extra Dave's Sauce (+$0.50)
Add a side of Dave's Sauce for dipping both the sliders and the fries — the most popular add-on for this combo.
Extra Pickles
Ask for extra dill pickles for more briny crunch and acid contrast against the spice rub.
Best Pairings
Kale Slaw
Add a side of slaw for extra cool, tangy cooldown bites between sliders — the most effective built-in heat buffer.
Best Pairing
Dave's Sauce
An extra side for double-dipping fries and sliders alike. It modulates the heat and boosts the creamy tang.
Must OrderVanilla Shake
Cold dairy fat is the best capsaicin neutralizer. A shake turns this combo into a full meal and keeps higher heat enjoyable.
Spice ReliefMac & Cheese
Add creamy mac to complement the fries — the cheese sauce mellows the spice and adds comfort-food richness.
