first thing i would love to say is that the food is actually great however the thing that really made this review deserve a one star is the amount of time i had to wait for this food. i told the person at the front register that i am running on low on time and if they could make it a little bit quick... boy was i really wrong! they took 50 minutes to make the food and at the end, they had the nerve to tell me that they were making my mac & cheese! i was already late and the food was not meant for me but for two hungry girls ... read more

I had been looking forward to going and eating at Dave's for a long time now. I had my opportunity to do just that,today and was completely let down.,outside of my order being taken by a very nice and personable,fellow kind and considerate in,every respect, I felt your,chicken to be way under expectations and not even as good as their rival Popeyes.The taste was practically non existent.The texture was quite soggy and even-the,fries had no,flavor,and n nothing to write home about so,to,speak.,if you want to have a fast food ... read more

Long wait times. Workers don't know what is going on. Don't understand why orders take for ever when they only have 3 things on the menu. Oh and they basically force you to leave a tip !

The reason this review is 2 stars and not 1 because the food was hot when I picked it up. They are supposed to specialize in tenders but I would rather get them from Popeye's or KFC. I ordered lite mild and although there was little heat, these tenders were over seasoned and super salty. Even the fries were over seasoned. That's all you could taste, was the seasoning. It was so abundant that even the outside of the containers had seasoning and on them. As far as the service, that was also disappointing. They were not busy,... read more

I let the cashier know he have order back to young man in the kitchen he comes the funny part (mind you I'm allergic to pickles) I watched his hand remove the pickles from sandwich then he wipes his hands on his apron then proceede... read more

This is my second visit to this place and I'm very disappointed with the size of the fried chicken in the #2 chicken slider sandwich order. They are a lot smaller than my first visit. And, the fries are somewhat soggy. Will not return ;((

Not sure if it was because we got here an hour before closing but the chicken was so salty it was hardly edible. A group of my friends all decided to peel off the outer part of the chicken but it was still hard to eat. Since it was so late at night we didn't have it in us to let the staff know.

Chicken was fried in old oil. The chicken was way over cooked. Nothing like the one in Oakland
