Hi, my name is Kaleo. I came on April 20, 2026 and I was craving Dave's hot chicken and I got the best food I have ever had ever. It was so enjoyable. I can't wait to come back tomorrow. Jerry helped us more than we could have asked, He deserves a raise. 

Business response:

Loving the Dave's NOT chicken options! And the cheese fries. So good! Food and customer service is always on point. Brian was super nice/attentive to me and the other guests, which is what makes us keep coming back.

I have not been to this restaurant personally, but my son swears by this place. He brought some Dave's Hot Chicken home, and indeed the hot Chicken sandwich was delicious. Correction, my apologies. I ate two. 

Business response:

Love Dave's! The chicken is so good, a little on the spicy side. Very friendly staff and the restaurant is generally clean. Convenient location
