Pleasantly surprised! We tried this spot twice this week -- once with no spice on the chicken tenders and once with mild for me and medium for my partner. They have a hierarchy for spice level that you're able to choose from when you order. My box came with mild chicken tenders, seasoned French fries, pickles and 2 pieces of white bread. It also came with Dave's sauce. The tenders were really tasty -- extra large and the breaded is nice and crunchy. The mild was just that -- mild but still adding flavor with the other spic... read more

I was pleasantly surprised just happen to be going by. I needed something quick for lunch so I stopped. I'm not normally a white meat guy or a chicken strip guy, but it was very tender, Juicy, tasty. I just might go back.

Hot chicken is optional when u order . I tried the mild which has flavor with a lil bit of sweetness to it but I feel it's just okay . I prefer other chicken establishments before this one . I had the slider and the strip which to me is the same just a lil change in scenery. Fries were sprinkled in the the same powder as chicken . To each there own

Pretty huge changes to the portion of the chicken tender this week. I would surmise it's a 30% or more reduction and they no longer stick out from under the slider bun. While this might be okay for a leader at a bar it's an abrupt modification. Taste is still good but impacted by smaller thickness of tender versus fryer oil and coating. So went from near perfection to a modified version. Maybe John Taffet came in and modified for profit and I don't appreciate it. 

Business response:

I'm not a big hot chicken fan or even a fired chicken sandwich fan, but Dave's got me liking their sandwiches. I get the light mild because I'm not a fan of eating anything that prevents me from tasting the food and only tasting the heat. That's a good sandwich. Great seasoning, crispy outer and moist tender interior. It's almost a perfect chicken sandwich. Beats any I've had Chick-fil-a, Popeyes, Canes or any other fast food chain. Servers are very friendly and the place is clean. Definitely worth more visits for their sand... read more

I know a lot of people like that he food but I was kind of indifferent about it. Portion size was ok for the price but like all fast food the price is getting to be a bit too much. Options of about 5 different spice levels which is nice. Staff was friendly and seemed to still be training when I visited. Wait was a little long for the food though. Overall I don't think I would be back but that doesn't mean you won't like it more. 

Business response:

Awww I'm sorry you didn't love it :( But we are glad you are willing to come back and give us another chance. Fortunately, we do have options, so maybe you just haven't found the right one for you. Before you come back, can you please reach out to us at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc for a chance to redeem ourselves and earth those two extra stars?
