    Yessssss! This was 10s all the way around. Well, 9.8 but I'll tell ya why the -.2 in a minute. The people working were so charismatic and welcoming that when you first walk in you're just know it's going to be a good experience. I went to take a picture of the chicken claw machine and one of the workers came over and held one up and then gave it to me. #okaykindness The decor, super trendy and gives sort of LA vibes. Very loud and colorful and eclectic. When I went to order, they were able to give lots of information and gave recommendations. I knew that if I got something big that I wouldn't be able to eat dinner cause it was already going to be a late lunch so I ordered a small Top Loaded Fries. I did ask if there was a military discount which they gave me a free drink. Here's where they lose the .2 points... I was going to get Dr Pepper, but it was completely out. Just fizz came out of the machine. Can't really complain, it was a free drink. I ended up getting Sprite, which was fine. I couldn't stay so I got my food to go and they gave me extra sauces and utensils. I couldn't wait when I got to my car. I opened it and it was absolutely delicious. It looked and smelled amazing, but the taste was so good. The sauce was a sweet and tangy like sauce and the coleslaw, I'm guessing, was nice and crunchy and fresh. I crushed it. I ended up getting light mild, but I think I could've gone a bit spicier. I do wish there was more than three nuggets on the fries. Especially since they're supposed to be known for the chicken, but I did get a small. I am very excited to go back.

    Hot Box - Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Coleslaw
    Lyra A.

    Got a hot box with a medium tender & a hot slider subbed coleslaw for my side & a strawberry shake. I ordered online & grabbed through the drive thru so service was very fast & very friendly. Building is very fun from the outside. I only give it four stars because the shake was forgettable, had a chalky texture that I could've done without. Chicken was delicious though - texture was great, not dry, both levels of spice were very flavorful. Slider comes with pickles on a bun & tender comes with Texas toast & pickles. Would definitely check out again.

    Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries

    This was OK...I've come here a lot recently to pick up grubhub orders and they're always packed. I will say the presentation of the slider was GREAT. It was VERY hot. I got "hot". There's two flavors above that and it's "very hot" and "reaper". Even though I got "hot" it was VERY hot lol. I'm not mad at that just giving you an idea of the heating scale. Fries were ok. Honestly it wasn't good enough for how busy I always see it. But I wasn't upset with the food. However I don't see myself in any rush to go back.

    My visits to the Raising Cane's Chesapeake location were two different experiences. The first was…read morea solid 5. The second was rounded up to 4. The food was equally good both times. I chose the Chicken Tenders Box Combo both visits. It consists of 4 large pieces of tender juicy chicken & true Deep South Cole Slaw prepared with a light sauce, just like I grew up with. Also included were Crinkle Cut French Fries & awesome Texas Toast. I opted out of their Special Sauce, which I am told is delicious by those who like dipping Chicken Fingers. Lemonade, which is really good, was my drink choice. Perhaps the difference in the visits has to do with time of day. The first visit was mid afternoon, having had a doctor's appointment in close proximity. The personnel were friendly & welcoming. What must have been the manager told us we should come back the next week, on their First Anniversary. We decided to support the restaurant on their Anniversary, meeting friends who lived in Chesapeake. The drive from the Shore Dr corridor to Greenbrier at rush hour was much longer than anticipated. So it was in the midst of the dinner hour when we arrived. The restaurant was extremely busy. The staffing seemed similar to our mid afternoon visit, which wasn't quite adequate to handle the dinner hour level of business. It wasn't an Anniversary crowd. My Chesapeake friends indicated that the restaurant was always that busy. The food tray came so quickly that I was still talking to one of their pleasant personnel, maybe a manager. Although we were able to order quickly, very soon there was a long line snaking past our table towards the back of the store. I was shocked when we left the restaurant at the extremely long line of cars waiting to go through the drive thru. The parking lot of the restaurant didn't come close to containing it. Told that it was always like this, I understood that the staff must be struggling to handle that many customers at one time. One big complaint on my second visit is that one of their 2 unisex, spacious bathrooms was completely out of toilet paper & paper towels. The soap dispenser had the front taken off, obviously by a patron trying to find soap. The inside replaceable plastic bag of soap refills had been squeezed, obviously in an attempt to get the last of the soap remaining. I planned to tell an employee the state of that bathroom but they were so busy that I decided to just return to my table. Obviously this was a good location choice for a Raising Cane's. But I do think they should increase their staffing level during the busy dinner hours. The location was filled with framed Chesapeake History. It was fun to walk around and see the articles & pictures. One was even a page from the 1955 Oscar Smith High School Yearbook. I'll return to this location both for takeout after a doctor appointment or to meet my Chesapeake friends. But I'll definitely leave earlier or take a different route. And I look forward to the opening of their planned Lynnhaven location.

It's actually so pleasant inside that I often prefer to dine in because the drive-thru line tends to stretch out into the road due to its popularity.

We easily found a nice table outside and ordered quickly - my husband chose a Chicken Slider, I had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and we ordered my baby girl a kid's meal of grilled cheese. I was impressed with the size of her kid's meal - it came with a decent-sized sandwich, huge portion of fries, a small kid's soda and a small custard. It was actually a pretty significant portion and my husband loved helping her finish it. Ha. I really enjoyed my husband's slider and the salads on the menu looked delish. My Nashville hot chicken sandwich was good, but a bit too hot for me, I did think the chicken was delicious. Hubs and I were both impressed with the quality and will happily come back again next time we're on this side of town. Used the restroom to change my daughter and they have a diaper changing station in the bathroom (a must for me now).

I love the selection of sauces, they really make the meal! The only negative thing about this restaurant is every time my husband gets a sandwich that comes out piping hot and my chicken tenders come out barely lukewarm. So much so we've once asked for replacements, which the staff was so great and accommodating. Very chill vibe, clean tables, and they're always playing great music. We always dine in when we stop by. The custard is also great! Love the sauces, love the sandwiches!

It has been a minute but hey, I'm always down to re-check out a place. First off, the lady that took our order was SUPER friendly. She was patient when we struggled a bit with our order (we did take a bit) and just gave a great vibe overall. We pulled up (drive-thru) and paid. The odd thing was that we were the only ones in the line and it took us like 14 minutes before we got our order. It was really odd waiting that long for fast food. However, I'm conflicted to give it a 3 on the rating b/c well.. the food was good. Great quality, fresh, hot, I mean seriously... if I had to pick between crummy and cold, I'd obviously choose the fresh and hot. SO.. overall, if they could keep the quality and staff friendly but drop the time a bit, this place would rock solid 5's all day.

It's a rendition, the spices they use have an Indian flavor that I was not expecting. The quality of the food is great! The chicken tenders are huge, juicy and very flavorful but maybe not the flavor you would expect. Knowing this now, I would go back to try it again. The Dave's sauce is also not my favorite but mixed with honey makes it better. Also if you want the full flavor get the Hot, unless you can take it then get spicy (I do not recommend ) the spicy is very spicy lol. The wait time for you food is also pretty long, but you will get fresh food. Definitely worth giving a try

You have claw machines, a British telephone booth, a bear brick painting painted like Iron man next to a neon "good vibes" sign and a large comfy sofa in the front in case you want to take a nap after eating their delicious chicken. Placing all judgment aside based purely on the aesthetic environment, this place makes some slamming soy garlic chicken and some tasty fries! That's all you need to know. Service was pleasant and the one gentleman seemed to be hustling bringing out people's food to their tables or calling out their numbers. The lady at the register kept the line moving. It wasn't busy when we initially ordered, but then there was an influx of customers out of nowhere! Initially I thought the price was kind of steep for 6 pieces of chicken but then I saw the size and they are huge! I added a side of fries and a drink and it came to a total of $17 and some change. If you dine in there are free refills. One of my friends came back to our table with a mini cup of ice cream. Apparently they have a freezer of ice cream and popsicles that are complimentary! So that was a nice added touch! They offer military discounts! Just show your ID! I asked. Not too soon after, I heard a gentleman that had purchased food prior to me comment out loud that he wish he knew that earlier. I just always try to ask wherever I go, the worst they can say is no. ‍ I don't go to Chesapeake often, but if i'm ever out this way, I would definitely stop by again. The entrance is a bit confusing when driving up. While it faces the main street of Battlefield Blvd you have to turn at the traffic light and go behind another building that's adjacent to it, just make sure you don't overshoot and miss the turn. This place seemed to have a lot of not so great reviews or were a mixed bag, but I figured it was at the point of I'm just going to figure this out myself and experience it. I'm glad I did.

I hadn't eaten there in over five years, so I was hoping the food was still as good as I remembered. My visit was on a Friday evening, around 6:00 or 6:30 PM. The dining room was relatively quiet, with only two other customers present, and I was immediately greeted upon walking in. I asked the cashier about the new menu item, the "Lamb Chops." He described them as pan-fried, noting that an order includes two to three nice-sized chops and comes with two sides. I decided to order the lamb chops to go, selecting the arroz chaufa (fried rice) which was a $1 upcharge and plantains as my sides. I was extremely disappointed when I opened my order and found that I had been served lamb shoulder for $18 and not the lamb chops I expected (typically rib or loin chops). To add to my disappointment the quality of the Lamb was very poor; it was tough, contained an excessive amount of connective tissue and fat, and was ultimately inedible. I ended up having to throw the entire portion away. The arroz chaufa also had inconsistent quality. While the flavor was good, the texture varied significantly, with parts being mushy and overcooked, and others remaining hard and undercooked. The Plantains were cut too thick and were also undercooked. Given the cost and the expectation associated with "Lamb Chops," I was extremely unhappy with my meal. I believe the cut of meat served was misrepresented, falsely advertised and the quality was unacceptable. I certainly cannot recommend this item to others and regret not ordering the chicken, which I know your restaurant prepares well.
