Dave's is a colorful place for quick serve hot chicken. The tenders are large and come with fries, Mac and cheese, or kale slaw. DD, who is a Wingstop fan, liked Dave's chicken better. Service was quick and friendly. The dining room is pretty spacious and decorated with colorful graffiti-type art. Definitely worth checking out!
