    Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Cheese Fries + Side of Dave's Sauce
    Alizae L.

    This place is really good. I will definitely be back! Fresh, hot, juicy chicken! The heat level I got was "hot" and it was great! My only complaint is they don't have ranch lol. Other than that, I don't have anything bad to say! Good customer service, pretty clean, reasonably priced. A good place to come if you're craving hot chicken!

    Amazing food, friendly service, in a super casual atmosphere. The place was busy but clean. Seating wasn't hard to find. We ordered the one slider with fries x 2. Both hot. There is a big jump from medium to hot but it was perfect!! The Dave's sauce is excellent and the fries are crispy. No complaints!!

    Just saw yesterday that Dave's has a fruity pebbles milkshake. Since I'm pregnant, I went out of my way to come order it. Within ONE DAY they removed it from the menu. Still have it advertised though. I hate you, Dave.

    We used to live in the area and came back to visit, so we had to stop at Dave's. So even though they were a regular in our household, I'd still give them a 4 star every time. It's not because it's not good food, but it's because of the service! The staff really needs some training in how to interact with customers. Back to the food... we always each get a #3: Slider and a tender. This was the first time I noticed how much breading was on the chicken. I'm not on a diet, but I was breaking it up for my 1 y/o and the breading is just too much for him. Anyway... it's probably as much breading as there is chicken on each strip. It doesn't take away from the fact that whomever came up with the combination of everything on those sliders needs some kind of flavor award! Now the restaurant itself has a very unique flare to it on the inside. It's not just paint on the walls; it's art! Like someone created beautiful pieces of artwork all over the restaurant. It's really cool! Otherwise, pretty spacious, clean. And a big plus?! They have - I don't know the official name for it - but it's like small hallway between the outside and the dining area. It keeps the flies out! Such a small detail, but such a major impact. If we're in the area again, you bet we're going back to Dave's!

    Not my cup of tea! I prefer for my seasonings to be cooked into I'm the food. Not sprinkled on top. I ordered a #1 which is two chicken strips and Frieda a pickle and sauce. The food was hot and fresh and the sizes are good for as much as you pay. $13.99. No drink. Anyway I returned the food after 1 bite. It's too spicy and I ordered mild and again I don't like my seasoning on top. The fries were good and the service was great. I can scratch Nashville chicken off of my 'things to try list'.

    They have a long ass line I was in like for 20 minutes and the staff did the drive thru was mad rude. He asked me to hold on for 7 minutes and came back and was like wat u want

    Love Dave's hot chicken!! Good sized portions. Chicken is crispy but never oily. The special sauce is amazing. This place won't disappoint.

    Either I have a high heat tolerance, or this wasn't spicy....it was fresh, hot, crispy and tasty though. So many chicken joints in Arlington...wanna ck out some more before coming back here.

    It was fine. Cheese fries were bomb. Chicken was fine. One and done for me. Pickles were also great.

    Took 45 minutes in line to get 1 nuggets and fries.! Wtf is wrong with this place. The food was good though.

    It was burger night and we found a well recommended restaurant that we drive by when traveling in…read morethe area but never noticed it. Maybe Kroger is so dominant that it over shadows the other business. The order counter is at the front with drinks in a refrigerator and home made tea adjacent. We sat ourselves at a table and started a conversation with a couple that frequently dines here. The man stated the French fries are the best in the area. They are double fried with Lawry's seasoning. They were eating their favorite, a Philly cheesesteak and. Chicken sandwich. We ordered mushroom Swiss burger and Big Tex. French fries and sweet potato fries. When I tasted the fries, I confirmed the man's acclimation that the fries are the best around. Our burgers were equally good, very moist and cooked to perfection. The prices are reasonable. This is now one of our go-to burger restaurants.

The cook even brought my to-go order out to me at the table. They have a drive-thru on side of building that I totally missed seeing until I was leaving. From the website & it did show in my cheeseburger order today: "Our approach is simple: fresh, natural ingredients, and no shortcuts. Our team hand-preps everything from scratch each day to bring out the best in every flavor."

Located in Arlington, the restaurant is divided in 2 sections and the place has quite a casual and local vibe We, a party of 5 were immediately seated and the server aptly took our order. As we were famished, we ordered..a lot: -Mazza Plate -Falafel -Fries -Gyro Special Plate -2 Chicken Shawarma(Bank Special) plate (comes with Rice, Hummus, Tzatziki sauce and Pita) -Falafel Plate - Gyro Sandwich Dessert: -Baklava -Burma Since we love spicy, we asked for our food to be spiced up. 5-10 mins later, the food began to arrive. First impression was the portion size was huge. At the onset we knew we ordered too much. The Mazza plate was amazing with assortment of Middle-Eastern appetizers i.e. hummus, babaganoush, tabouli salad, dolmas, with kalamata olives and pita. We absolutely loved the dimas and the hummus and pita bread was fresh. The Shawarma plates were pretty decent and the chicken and gyro meats were well cooked and seasoned, however the spicy sauce they use was a bit more on the tangy side than on spicy side. Which was a let down. Falafels we crunchy and were pretty decent. The fries however were huge let down. They were too oily and the taste of overused oil was pretty evident. The best part for us were the desserts. The Baklava was great but the Burma blew us away. The roasted Cashes and angel hair with honey was truly delicious. To Foodies: This is quite a famous place for middle easter food, main reason being it was covered by The food network. Do try their Shawarma Plate , especially Gyro plate, it is pretty awesome. Also the quantity is good. However, I would recommend to stay away from fries or be careful of deep fried items. Do try the desserts, you'll fall in love. Overall, it is a good place but I have had much better. May be the standards have gone down a bit over the years. To Management: You have a wonderful staff, good location and the food is pretty decent..However I'd recommened to keep a check on your oil used for deep fried stuff. The fries were a huge let down. One bite and i frlt that bad taste of oil at the back of my throat. Also please revamp your spicy sauce a bit. Too much vinegar. Overall Rating: 6.5/10 Signing off Rahul V.S. aka CanIndian Foodie

No boneless dishes which is strange considering it was a weekend and most middle eastern cuisine always had boneless dishes like tikka, seekh kebabs/Reshmi kebabs, tikia etc. Both biryanis were excellent, especially the chicken biryani which tasted a lot like the Indian/Pakistani biryani - if I ever go again it will be solely for the biryani. Another complaint- being a weekend there was no dessert in the buffet. I did not order anything to drink, just the buffet and yet the cashier charged me a dollar extra for samosas(???)...
