    "Dave's Hot Chicken" isn't your run of the mill, commercial, chicken spot. It is ten steps ahead. But give me a second to explain. Pulling into the parking lot, you see the unique façade of the building. It screams fun! Inside mirrors the outside. It has a modern youthful feel. At the counter, that staff shares that energy. They took our order and said it is made fresh. I know that's code for you will have to wait a bit. But trust me, it's worth it. When the order is done, they hand you a black container and send you off to the races. They forgot a few items from the order, and owned it. They gave it to me right away. After it was time to eat. The fries had a little kick to them, that worked. The cheese sauce used for dipping was okay. Now it was time for the chicken sandwich. I am pleased to report that, we have a winner. This was an incredible sandwich, packed with all the punch. The chicken was crunchy with a meaty inside. The powder they covered it with was not to overpowering. The coleslaw was fresh and crunchy as well. But the prize went to the Dave Sauce! It is arguably, the best sauce on chicken I ever had. I almost wanted to ask for more sauce, for the road, but common sense stopped me. With the slightly toasted Hawaiian bread to put it together, the flavor was immeasurable. I thought about moving to Ohio because of this sandwich. Again, common sense. I mean, it's easier to have them relocate to New York.....right?

    We visited early on a Friday night, approx 5:40pm, there were two parties in line ahead of us when we ordered. We found a table immediately but waited nearly 30 minutes for our food. When my husband went up to ask what was taking so long... he was just offered a slushy, which he declined. By the time we got our food, the restaurant was packed, no available tables and the line to order was out the door. I've picked this up from ordering online before and it was ready when requested, so I don't know if this night's wait was a caused by staffing issues. Overall, the food was good. The tenders are very large and juicy. The spice level was not what we expected. My husband got hot and very hot for his meal and was not even a little uncomfortable eating the either. I'm wondering if he got the correct order.

    This is our second time here! The food is seasoned well, and the chicken is SO crispy but so juicy still! 11.99 for 2 tenders and fries is a little steep especially compared to other chicken places in the area but if you are looking for good quality everytime this is the place!

    Came back 24 mins later to check on my order and there's now a line to the door and this is the how they greeted

    Make sure you have some time to wait... Waited 20 mins for 3 sliders! Not many people inside at all when order was placed. While I was in the very young front desk staff had time to braid each other pony tails and check all their snaps. Could have wiped down some of the empty tables or counters even stocked some stuff something. This is exactly why I'll never leave any of my staff in training alone expecting them to act accordingly. We have to stop having an entire staff of all inexperienced young people with no one to guide them, or maybe more thorough training explaining what makes people want to come back to their job and if they don't they'll have to find a new job. I can almost guarantee majority of the people that came in for CHICKEN will find another place next time they have that taste and are out that way. Grand total minutes waited for 3 sliders...36 mins! If we end up liking this food this will specifically be a door dash only type of place.

    This Dave's location was phenomenal. The staff was extra helpful. The food was very tasty

    Tried for the first time inspired by a YouTube review. Its 11.99 for 2 tenders and fries so I had some doubts. But after seeing the video, it looked like maybe it was worth it. Not this time I guess. Look at the pathetic amount of fries and small chicken tenders provided. Im not a negative guy, but c'mon man, I'll give you 6.99 tops for that. Sorry, do much better. Service was fine BTW. Note: fries are cheap, load them up to provide some value.

    I was so exited to dive in, that I forgot a pre-game picture. Here's the leftovers :-)

    Alright, let's see if the hype is real, or just hype! Location/Parking: 4.5 Located in the old Moe's Southwest Grill on Whipple, next to Jersey Mike's. Lots of parking, even on a busy lunch rush at 12:30pm. Easy in-out. Counter Service: 4 The woman who took my order was perfectly nice. Seeing as this spot is brand new, I would have liked a "have you dined with us before?" But that's just me. Also, for having a line to the door, it was a little strange that they only had one person taking orders: and the other register closed. From the time I ordered till the time I got my food (dine-in) was 12 minutes. A little on the slow side, but nothing that would keep me from coming back. Food: 4.5 I ordered the #4 meal, which is a slider with fries combo. The combos here do not come with a drink, so I added a regular soda. You have a choice to make with spice level, from "no spice" all the way up to "reaper". I played it safe and went with "medium". I'd say the word "slider" is probably a bit misleading. It's certainly bigger than what most people consider a slider. This was basically a small to regular sized sandwich. The chicken was actually really good. Super juicy with just the right amount of crunch. Came out hot and fresh. As far as the medium spice level, I was a little disappointed. On a 1-10 scale of heat, medium felt like a 2. Next time, I'll definitely try something hotter. The sandwich came with I assume their house sauce, as well as what they call a "kale salad". To me, that just seems like fancy marketing to make it sound more hip, or healthy. It was just the lettuce garnish you'd get on basically any sandwich. There were three thick cut pickles on the side. Nice to have them on the side for those who don't like pickle overload. The one tasting note I noticed after, was that the rub they use has to have a little sugar. There's definitely an underlying sweetness, which in my opinion, was a nice compliment. The fries were crinkle cut, and really well seasoned. I'd have preferred just a little more crunch, but that's being nit-picky. Definitely one of the better fries out there. Last, the sauce that came on the side, which I'll call "Dave Sauce"... was basically the same Chick-Fil-A ripoff sauce that everyone and their brother in the chicken game has tried to emulate. It was sweet, savory and creamy. But again, not particularly original or unique. Price/Value: 2.5 Coming in a $9.99 for a smaller sandwich and small serving of fries, it felt more like a $7.99 price point to me. The $9.99 price point would have been fine had it included a drink. Unfortunately it did not, so I had to add one for $2.29. Out the door, with tax and 15% tip I was at $16.07. Certainly on the higher end for what I got. If you added one of their slushies or milkshakes you're gonna end up at $20+ before it's all said and done. Is it Five Guys bad? Nope. But you're also now competing against promotions like Chili's $10.99 three-for-me, which includes a starter, entree and drink. That's a better deal for just as good of food. So spend wisely. Overall: 4 stars First impression was a solid one. Service was great, food was on point. The price was a little more than I would have liked, which just means I'll come here less often than most other spots. Overall, I'd happily recommend Dave's Hot Chicken.

    It's made me sick every time since. Maybe they need to change their oil or something. Food poisoning twice. Officially done with Dave's.

    I've been meaning to swing by Angello's 2 Go for a while now -- and after finally checking it out,…read morelet me just say: I should've come sooner. This spot may be compact, but it packs the kind of flavor and hospitality that earns a permanent spot in the rotation. I was greeted right away by an incredibly friendly staff member who set the tone for the visit. Even better? A couple of folks were already waiting on their orders and started raving about their go-to favorites. When regulars hype a place unprompted, that's always a good sign. The interior is bright, clean, and has that cool chalk-art wall bursting with personality -- pizzas, eggplants, peppers, the whole Angello's vibe. Between the brick-bottom ovens and the steady flow of takeout orders, you can tell this place is legit. After hearing it recommended more than once, I went with the famous Pasquale's Italian sub -- and wow. Absolute sandwich excellence. The roll alone is worth talking about: Fresh. Soft. Crispy. Literally one of the best sub rolls I've had anywhere. It held up beautifully -- no soggy collapse, even with a generous amount of toppings. Inside, the layers stack up like an Italian deli greatest-hits playlist: thin-sliced meats, crisp lettuce, melty cheese, tomatoes, peppers, and that signature sauce that ties it all together without overwhelming the bread. The flavors play perfectly together -- absolutely craveable. While I only grabbed the sub this time, I've gotta highlight one thing Angello's is known for: their brick-bottom oven pizza. According to a feature on the shop, this style gives their pies a crispy, old-school, no-shortcut kind of finish that fans swear by. It's got that classic, slightly blistered crust that only a brick oven can make happen. Great service. Friendly staff. Killer sub. And a vibe that feels like a neighborhood staple in the making. I'll definitely be adding Angello's 2 Go to my regular rotation -- and next time, that pizza is calling my name. If you're anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and check this spot out. Your taste buds will thank you.

    My boyfriend had stopped in here a few weeks ago and had a sandwich that he couldnt stop talking…read moreabout. So, when we were in the area this weekend, he surprised me with lunch here. We split the pasquelles sub and my LORD. The bread was to die for. The sandwich itself was quite possibly the best sub I've ever had. The meat, the cheese, THE DRESSING. Absolutely delicious!! If I lived closer, I'd easily have that sub for dinner three nights a week
