I consider this Dave's Hot on the average spectrum. Reason being it just wasn't flavorful enough for the chicken itself. The pickles, signature sauce, and fries were solid. Lastly, I definitely think this place is worth a try, just isn't one of my personal faves.

The Customer Service was good, Abigail had great customer service and checked on us if we needed any additional sauces or napkins. Food was okay. The chicken was over seasoned, maybe it was just this one time it happened but overall good spot.

This is THE PLACE for chicken sandwiches. It is very expensive as far as a chicken sandwich goes but in my opinion it's the best you can get if you're craving chicken sandwiches. Only negative is the spice levels don't seem very consistent (Medium can be crazy one day while Hot can be borderline flavorless on another day). DEFINITELY recommend trying at least once!

Tastes like FALAFEL! Tried this place today. Parking was tough, but I found a spot. Cashier was friendly, courteous, nice. Placed my order of a slider medium heat level, and a drink. In a bout 4 minutes, they called my number! First impression: the buns were cold and damp! Why do you do this, Dave's? These should be warm and toasted. The breading on the chicken is the dominant aspect, not the chicken. It tasted of cumin and moreover, like a falafel if you've had that. If you've had a falafel sandwich at King Falafel, i... read more
