The only fast food place who know how to make the best chicken..be it the bites nuggets or sliders!This particular location is very busy as it's right in middle of a shopping complex so please plan ahead of time when ordering....and don't miss the delicious and variety of spreads they offer to go with the menu items!

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!

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
Business response:
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
Business response:
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!
