We we're pretty excited to try this place but it wasn't our favorite. The fries and milk shakes were good but the chicken needed more flavor. The restaurant was also not very clean, sticky floors and nothing was restocked. The guy taking our order was very nice though!

We always visit Dave's when we visit NC. Food has been great! But not this time. They were short staffed. Orders were rolling out slower. They forgot to add the spice. Very disappointed this time around.

Nice sitting area. I got this during travel and it tasted good. I did the medium and it wasn't that hot . The mild was too mild for me. I like that they aren't stingy on the ketchup and sauces. I would definitely recommend this!

Best juiciest, crispiest, and spiciest chicken I've ever had in North Carolina since I moved here 2 years ago the fries are great to you don't even need ketchup. Service is super friendly and quick. The decoration is amazing. I love the walls and the theme of this place.

I'm in Wilmington often enough for business I always try something different. Heard good things and wanted to check it out. Spent around $20 for a number 3 and a drink. The portion was bigger than I was expecting and everything was hot and fresh. Got the tender with Medium Spice and the slider with Hot spice. The honey and Dave's sauce were a great combo. The service was good. Manager was interacting with guests. The cashier was friendly. The music was at a good level, and the graffiti on the walls was a fun touch. Bathrooms... read more

Was travelling with an international group that included several Muslims. Dave's advertised as halal so we decided to check it out. Dang, it was some good chicken. I ordered the two sliders with fries meal. Fried nice and crispy with some delicious hot sauce (I ordered medium) and a good bun. For me, Bojangles is the gold standard for fried chicken. That being said, Dave's is definetly silver. Fried chicken, hot sauce, rolls...what else to say.

I'm a chicken sandwich fan so I was excited to try Dave's. With all the mixed reviews on Yelp, I wasn't sure what to expect. But we came in on a Saturday around 3pm so it wasn't busy at all. The staff person was friendly and the restaurant had a cool vibe. We decide to get the #2 to share since the staff said the sliders were big. They were a good size and the chicken was sticking half out of the bun. It had good flavor but I think I like a wet sauce more than a dry-rub. I liked the slaw and pickles a lot. The fries seemed a... read more

Both times that i've visited I've had an issue with my order. We always check our bag before leaving when we pick up food and we had something missing from our order both times. While this would normally garner a one or two star review, they've always fixed their mistake and made up for it with a free item and making everything right. Some places won't do that for you so I appreciate the level of care they have for their customers. I just wish the mistake weren't made in the first place. The food is absolutely amazing and I ... read more

Honestly this place is very underrated! The food is delicious, although it is a little overpriced for what it is. I've never had to wait to place an order and the food has always came out within 5 minutes. No, the staff isn't the nicest, but come on, it's a fast food restaurant where employees are probably earning barely the minimum wage. What would you expect? On cleanness I'd give it a 5/10, given that there's always been dirty tables every time I've been. Restrooms weren't spotless either.
