Food is terrific, I've had both the chicken and cauliflower substitution and either one is a good choice. I got the two cauliflower strips with bread and fries medium. The heat is real so order accordingly. The service was good with friendly and helpful workers. They greeted me as I walked in and once my food was ready they thanked me as I left. The kiosk inside makes it helpful to place the order quick and easy in case there is a long line. I use the app and that's also helpful and easy. The ambiance is great, big restauran... read more

Seriously my favorite restaurant now! After a junk experience at raising canes I wanted to try Dave's. Ever since I have loved it, the food is absolutely delicious! The workers are very friendly and will strike up a conversation, and the inside is very welcoming and well decorated and painted. Definitely worth stopping by! The drive through can be slow, but who cares, it's because they are making your food fresh! 

Business response:

People like you are what keep us going. We appreciate the love and support. Hope to have you back soon!

My food was brought to me by hubby and nephew. I got the chicken strips/fingers and it was okay...nothing to make me go running back for more. It wasn't bad, but there are so many chicken options, this one just doesn't stand out for me, sorry. The chicken and spices just didn't have much flavor. I can't speak of staff or store for this one, but my nephew loves it. 

Business response:

Appreciate you giving us a try! Sorry our flavors didn’t quite stand out for you, but glad your nephew’s a fan. If you ever decide to give us another shot, we’d love the chance to change your min

Just ordered one tender, hot. And it was just too spicy for me. Got the mild and it was very good and juicy. Not so good to justify the crazy amount of calories though. Small sign by cashier stated free drink with Yelp check-in. Asked cashier about it and she said it was only valid when one gives the place a 5-star review. Place was fairly empty- employees less than enthusiastic. Just had to try since I love and can tolerate hot Nashville chicken. I might try Dave's again at a different location. 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the mild tender, but we’re sorry to hear the spice level and other aspects of your visit didn’t hit the mark. We appreciate you bringing up the sign about the Yelp check-in promotion—our offers should never require a specific rating, and we’ll look into this to ensure clarity. Your feedback about the atmosphere and enthusiasm of the team is also important to us. We’ll make sure it’s shared with the right people to help improve future visits. If you decide... read more
