The Nashville style chicken is good. The chicken is similar to Princes in Nashville. The fries were just ok. It's not bad since we have no HattieBs in north Dallas.

Place is very clean and a nice ambiance. Nice outdoor patio. Nice service from Ari at the cash register. As for the food: fries, and Mac and cheese are delicious. I'm not a huge fan of dry rub chicken, but the chicken itself was good. Not as spicy as you think so go up a spice level. Recommend the sliders over tenders.

This was my first time to Dave's, I heard lots of good things and the food was very good. I'm not a huge fan of deep fried heavily breaded chicken, but even though it was a little thicker than I like, the taste was excellent in the chicken was juicy. It's super pricey but I guess that's just the way of the world now. I got a couple sliders and it was around $17, it's getting hard and hard to eat out anymore. Overall it was very good, but a little hyped up. Still I would return to try their other stuff on the menu. Thanks Dav... read more

This location has great service and the uniform/military discount is phenomenal at 50% off with valid ID. The seating area is good for 2-5 people. Larger groups would fit better outside. The food is hot and fresh. The menu is simple but great options and sides. Overall a great little chicken spot. I would definitely bring the family back again. 

Business response:

It's super cool to know we nailed it for you. Thanks for the love, and we're here, always ready to keep the good times rolling!

It was okay. Definitely looked better than it tasted. Not sure if it was the flavor that we got but there was a lot of seasoning all over, too much in my opinion. They used the same seasoning on the fries as they did on the chicken and it was a little sweet. The Dave's sauce tasted like mayo and was not very appealing so we asked for some ranch and they did not have any at all. Maybe if we had ranch the chicken would have been better. We were just expecting more since it was our first time but I can say we will not be trying... read more
