I came here craving a good mozzarella cheese stick, but unfortunately, that ended up being the biggest disappointment. There was barely any flavor and no cheese pull, and I could only suffer through half of it before deciding to trash it. On the bright side, I was pleasantly surprised by the veggie slider and cauliflower wings, which ended up being my favorites. The cauliflower bites were flavorful and really enjoyable. The service was quick, and the ambiance was casual and relaxed. If you're vegetarian, the veggie slider ... read more

I've gotten takeout from this Dave's location a handful of times and have also tried various other Dave's locations. I usually order on the app and pick up at the window. I feel like Dave's isn't the best hot chicken out there, but still gets the craving satisfied when you want a decent hot chicken sandwich. It's been hit or miss, sometimes the chicken is tender and sometimes it's stringy. Sometimes it's very meaty, sometimes it's mostly just batter. I usually go for the 2 sliders with fries, 1 tender 1 slider with fries, ... read more

We came to try their new mozz sticks and it was really great with their ranch. Cheese pull was definitely there when it was hot. We also got the w sliders and fries. We just always forget what heat level we get so we got medium and it was not hot enough for us but still really tasty.

Nothing against Dave's, but we have come to the realization that we just don't like Nashville hot style chicken sandwiches. The concept of the dry rub is weird, since it feels like inhaling spicy particles while eating the sandwich. Even though we don't care for the type of food, it was very fresh and hot, the chicken was high quality, and the service was excellent. So now the search will start for a spicy chicken sandwich, where the spice is actually part of the batter instead of added as afterthought! 

Business response:

Apologies for any disappointment caused during your visit. We'd love to make it right. Please visit dhcfeedback.com to share your concerns and help us improve. Thank you.

They can actually get the chicken really spot-on. Their rub is more of a wet rub than a dry rub. I wish they seasoned their fries with the same rub as the chicken. Cool thing is you can actually get the Dave's bites in multiples of 5. Which isn't outright advertised on the menu. The extra hot is like 1 seedless habanero worth of heat. The hot is like 2 seeded jalapenos. They get the food out in a timely manner. The place is actually clean too. Big ups all around.
