Have not tried Cane's but this was really good. Just a tad expensive for the quantity of food. I got two meals and it was $40, felt more like $30 in value. Fries are crinkle cut, should be shoe string to be even better, but I suppose that is just personal preference. Place is decorated very hip, like something out of a comic book or something. Service was pretty fast though, looked like a hard working team back there.

Never had it. But it was 9:30pm at night and it was open. The guy who ordered before me - he ordered two chicken burgers and fries and ate everything! So he really loved it. For me, it wasn't exactly the same. Food was okay. Their product seems to rival Cane's, except their signature is the dry rub on their chicken. I got chicken bites. One friend got chicken tenders. And two friends got the chicken burgers. Fries were good and crunchy. My chicken bites were okay. The rub felt very rubbery or chalky on my tongue and chee... read more

The food is always so fresh, delicious and ready in no longer than 5 minutes. The warm welcoming lady made me feel at home. The spray painting sculptures on their walls make me happy, also the fact that it's actual spray paint. 

Business response:

Love hearing this, Eissa! Fresh food, quick service, and a warm welcome—that’s exactly what we’re going for. Glad the artwork added to the experience too. Hope to see you back soon!

We always go here, and the food is great. Everything is fresh and the service is amazing. The place is clean and Rivermark is one of my favorite places to go because it has so many restaurants to choose from. Dave's Hot chicken tastes really good and I give this a five star because everything about this place is excellent. 

Business response:

Appreciate the love, Angelo! Fresh food, great service, and a clean spot—can’t ask for much more. Rivermark is definitely a solid area, and we’re stoked to be one of your go-to spots. See you again soon!

To start off, we always go here and the food has been great. The service has been impeccable and the staff is always welcoming. The sliders are always made fresh, tasting amazing. The reason why i wont give this a five star is because when you order on the app, sometimes your special requests won't go through to the staff. This isn't a huge issue but a concern for some. Another issue I had was when ordering the top loaded shakes they mostly try to give you mostly toppings and 1/4 of the cup shake. Overall I'll give this a 4 ... read more

Business response:

Glad we’ve been a consistent favorite for you, Jamal! Appreciate the heads-up on the app orders and shake portions—we definitely want to make sure you’re getting the full experience. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to get that extra star from you next time!

Food was good, chicken tasted freshly made. Got the loaded fries and that was tasty. Friends got some sliders and fries and enjoyed it as well. Place was clean and food didn't take too long to be ready which was nice. 

Business response:

Glad you and your friends enjoyed everything! Appreciate you stopping by and hope to see you again soon.

Love the rivermark location, always nice people and clean. My only issue is the spice levels seem to have quite a bit of variation depending on the day. Lite spice was super lite and barely anything when it had more spice last time. I enjoy their spiced fries quite a bit! 

Business response:

Love that you’re a regular! We hear you on the spice variation, and we’ll keep an eye on consistency. Thanks for the feedback!

Wow! I was really impressed. The chicken is extremely moist and flavorful. Extra hot was just the right level -- enough of kick without being ridiculously hot. Fries were crisp and tasty. A side of mac and cheese was creamy and delicious. Service was quick with only a short wait to receive my meal. Plenty of space available in the dining room and everything was clean. 

Business response:

Thanks for the awesome review, Jeff! We're so glad to hear you loved the chicken, fries, and mac and cheese. It's great that the extra hot was just the right level for you too. We hope to see you back soon for another tasty meal!

The location was clean when I picked up my order. I got the two-sandwich combo with fries--one mild and one medium. However, they tasted almost the same, so I'm not sure if I received two mild sandwiches or if the medium simply isn't that spicy. On the plus side, there's plenty of parking since it's located in Rivermark Plaza.
