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.

We see those three stars and apologize for falling short of a top-notch experience. Help us turn those stars into a full constellation—your insights at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc will be our guide.

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

First and foremost, this is a new place. Give it a few weeks to work out the kinks. That said, I have tried the one in SLO and the new one in santa maria and the food is great. The big difference is that the SLO location has it down and consistent while SM still has work to do. The building itself is nice, no real complaints but parking in that whole area is a pain. Servers were friendly and they have a solid system going for orders. They did forget the sauce i paid for but small mistake. The fries are crunchy on the outsid... read more
