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

This is the second location that I've been to. It could be because they've just recently opened & they're getting a lot of business but the location in Santa Maria is not nearly as good of customer service as the one in SLO. While the food is good, the wait is awful. I placed an order to dine in & continuously watched people after me get their to go food w/in minutes. Definitely would recommend taking it to go I suppose.. such a big use of plastic tho:/ but you'd get your food much much faster. I will say that the employees ... read more
