Ordered Dave's number 1 and brought it home. Chicken had absolutely no flavor--I kept eating it and questioning it until I had my partner try it and he also agreed--the workers must have forgotten to season them. Usually it's whatever, but with food getting more expensive its a bummer :/ Will most likely skip next time.

If you want a mouthful of salt with each bite of chicken, this is the place for you. I don't know what these people are thinking, but their medium-spiced chicken is completely inedible. I like salty foods, but this stuff is like eating pure seasoning, which is mostly salt with theirs. And to make matters worse, they overcooked the chicken, and the sliders barely had any coleslaw that might have provided some balance to the amount of salt. Fries were just ok, basically average. Wasted time, money, and trip to their store. Won... read more

Meh. Not sure what all the hype is about. I wanted to have lunch at Red Robin but they are doing construction so i went across the street to Dave's. I ordered a #4. The sandwich was not appealing, way too much cumin. You can't even taste the chicken. They should put a warning sign out front saying cumin in the dominent flavor. The chicken breast was overcooked and dry in the thinner end. Fries were cold, soggy and limp. Sorry, this place is destined to end up closed like the previous occupants, McDonalds, Smash burger. There... read more

If you like burnt soggy overcooked chicken, this is the place. Not sure what the hype is about but definitely not for me. Tried it once...

The best way I can describe it is horrible, horrible, horrible. I ordered one Reaper, for which I had to sign a waiver. ( The reaper was not hot, it tasted like a very spicy jalapeno on the spice level) one extra hot and one hot. The chicken tenders had no crunch at all. It was very flat and super dry. They drowned it in powder that's how all the tender came I guess. Dave's sauce that comes with it was not to my liking. It was too sweet and made me queasy. They didn't have Ranch, which sucked, but it really wouldn't have mat... read more

The worst 20$ I've ever spent on over salted chicken, the rub was so dry and over powering. The amount of people giving 4 and 5 stars is actually insane. Are y'all okay? Cause I'm not. I had pickles and fries for dinner
