I was at Dave's yesterday night with my family and Isaac was on top of everything from Food/Drink knowledge and recommendations, he was asking us constantly if we needed anything or wanted anything else, served us with great formality tried to tip him with a cash tip and said that he wasn't looking for a tip and just wanted us to enjoy out time there.... WOW! This Man needs a raise! Will definitely be coming back for both food and service. Thank you!

Shoutout to Isaac for bringing top-tier service! Love hearing that he made your visit extra special—sounds like he’s truly in it for the guest experience. Appreciate the support, and we’ll be ready for you and your family next time!
This was my first time having Dave's hot chicken and I'm actually pretty pleasantly surprised by the quality! I got the #1 with 1 medium and 1 hot chicken tender each. The hot was delicious in flavor and just barely stuffy nose inducing, while the medium I could barely feel personally. The chicken was pretty juicy and thick in size, with a really delicious crispy batter seasoned well with a nice blend of spicy, and tangy flavor that isn't just cayenne pepper and salt. The fries weren't the soggy crinkle cut mess like from ra... read more

Love the detailed breakdown! Glad the hot spice level hit just right for you, and totally agree—fries should never be a soggy mess. Appreciate the honest feedback on the bread, and we’re glad the mac and cheese brought that nostalgic comfort. Hope to see you again soon!

I usually can't be bothered to review a fast food chain; I keep my expectations low and it seems they always meet expectations, if you get my drift. Dave's proved a pleasant surprise. The flavor is good, the spice is variable (so you can take your wimpy friends), the chicken is nice quality and the tenders are big. It reheats great in the air fryer, too. After a litany of disappointments with even high-end restaurant hot chicken, and then finding so much better at a fraction of the price I was super stoked. That dipping sauc... read more

Now that’s a review! Love that we exceeded expectations and brought the heat (but also options for the wimpy friends). Reheating in the air fryer is definitely the move, and the dipping sauce comparison is spot on. Hope you swing by in person to soak in the full 90s Trapper Keeper vibe soon!

First time here. Easy to get to, easy parking and not a lot of people. The menu is pretty self explanatory. Pick your combo and spice level. The lady who helped us at the register was super nice and took care of our order. Food was hot and ready in a few minutes. This location had a cool interior set up. Lots of tables with ample space and the music was good too! Outside had a patio area which was nice. We all picked the mild spice level. Nothing crazy. Good amounts of chicken. The buns are yummy, the coleslaw was basic bu... read more

Thanks for the detailed review, Suz! We're glad you enjoyed the food, the cool interior, and the friendly service. Mild is a solid choice, and it’s great to hear your daughter loved the chicken sandwiches too! Hope to see you both back again soon for another visit!
