Very good! Seven flavors to choose from, very good milkshakes and it's very responsibly priced for the amount of food they give you. I will definitely be back!

It was okay. The service was good. The fries were above average. The Mac and cheese was just average. The chicken is pretty good but nothing exceptional. I wasn't impressed with the seasoning. I've had Nashville chicken that was a lot better but this was okay. At the price I'm not sure when I'll be back.

Good food. Horrible service. Took nearly 20 min in drive through. They literally charge for a cup of water. The same price as a fountain drink. That's not ok. I will not be going there again. Overpriced.

This could quite literally be one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences we've ever had. We were one of three dine in customers, and two to go orders. Every single one of the employees were awkward and didn't present the best hygiene. The interior of the restaurant didn't look dirty until you tried to sit down at the tables. We ordered the Dave's Bites and a combo with a tender and sandwich. The Dave's bites tasted like burnt flour, and had a horrible flavor. The tender and sandwich tasted fine, but was definitely lack... read more

This place sucks. Guy couldn't look at me in the eyes. Places food was worse than my grilled chicken with no seasoning at the house.

Let me start by saying I went to the location based on opening time located on the actual DAVES website for this location stating 10:30. Made a 35 minute drive to get here only to find when arriving the store doors said 11. Ok no big deal it was 10:57 am when arrived at location. A worker came to the door and told another patron they could wait inside. No further explanation. We waited it was 11:10 when the doors were then opened by a female worker, no name was given saying sorry 2 people called in and my GM is on her way an... read more

Over 15 minutes in the drive through line for two orders. One slider and one two piece tender along with two drinks. $30? 1) The chicken is not that good. 2) Reaper is over the top hot. 3) service in the drive through sucks. 4) once in line you're stuck, no exit. 4) Too expensive for what you get. We won't be pulling off in Waco again for this stop for sure. Adios Dave.
