Slider combo (chicken slider and fries)
Graciela C.

First time trying this location and it was great service, ordering online and going through the drive thru to pick up! The worker was very friendly and polite. The food was very good and tasty, especially the level of heat. The fries were freshly cooked, sprinkled with their seasoning and the sauce was tasty. We ordered the two tenders meal and the slider meal. The slaw and pickles were a fantastic combination with the chicken tender. We dine in but it was very colorfully decorated and the outside patio area was clean with music playing. We will return.

This was just awful. We tried it because of the hype. We were not expecting to be disappointed. I ordered Dave's #1 and my boyfriend ordered a Dave's #3. We also ordered mac and cheese. I ordered my chicken medium and my boyfriend ordered his lite mild. The combos do not come with a drink, so we had to order them separately. We paid over $35 for this. The food did not take long to come out. The first thing I tried were the fries and they were good. I had no reason to suspect everything else wouldn't be good. I then tried the chicken without the sauce. Awful. It tasted like chili powder and paprika, and nothing more. It was not spicy and it was not salty either. It tasted stale and bland. I then tried the chicken with the sauce and, although I am not a fan of sweet sauce like this, I ate the chicken with the sauce to take away the bland taste of the chicken. My boyfriend asked me to try this slider and it was not too bad, but I attribute this to it having cheese sauce and coleslaw on it. The mac and cheese was also bland. It did not taste like cheese and it had a weird texture to it. We promptly decided that we would never be back. It was also unreasonably loud inside. I felt like I was at a club. The only thing I liked was the fries. They were good. I am adding an extra star because of the service. All employees were very friendly and helpful.

I checked out Dave's by the McAllen Convention Center and wrote it was well worth the hype...well this one off Trenton does justice to the name of Dave's Hot Chicken. I have gone a few times..drive-thru and dine-in. You always get greeted and welcomed. The menu once more is fairly simple... chicken strips with varying levels of heat. I honestly don't think there's another place that compares to the quality of the tender nor the size. That's one reason why other chicken places nearby suffer...they lower their standards. They make the portion size smaller but raise their prices. That is not Dave's ... I always recommend the slider w/ fries. The tender is plenty big enough to fill anyone's appetite. I get mine all the way... Dave's sauce, pickles, and slaw. I've tried their medium, hot, and extra hot heat levels as well. If you can't handle spice...go with the medium. Hot has a small kick to it...extra hot will definitely make you sweat a little but still dayum tasty with some honey poured over it. The fries are crispy when given to you...and have a slight season to it. They pair well with the tenders. I've only tried their mac n cheese...can't say it blew me out of the water, but still a nice side with your slider. One recommendation...please come out with some type of rewards/points program. It'll make regulars of others than just us regulars lol A definite recommendation to anyone who wants quality tenders with a love for spice!

I'm addicted to this place. Not as great if taken to go or delivery, like most places. So get it fresh and get it spicy.

I've been numerous times, and have had their food delivered, and it is always on point. This Chick-fil-A is located on the SE corner of I-69C and Trenton in Edinburg. The majority of the parking is mostly on the east side of the building. The grounds are nicely landscaped, and the building well maintained. There is both indoor and outdoor patio dining. The menu is the same as other Chick Fil-A stores, the best chicken sandwiches (regular or spicy), chicken clubs, wraps, salads, strips, nuggets, soup, etc. The chicken is served either fried or grilled. Entrees can be accompanied by their famous waffle fries, fruit cup, mac-n-cheese, Greek yogurt parfait, kale crunch side or salad. They also have a breakfast menu in which there are pork sausage options (biscuits, burritos, or English muffins). I've never tried their breakfast. Drinks are either soft drinks, fresh lemonade, fresh brewed iced tea, shakes, ... or I love their frosted lemonade! The service is always impeccable, polite, with their standard, "it was my pleasure," when you thank them. The decor is cheerful and highlights the chain's history. The dining room includes regular tables, high tables, a counter, and half-booths. They offer free WiFi. Bathrooms have always been clean. As I mentioned, I have been to this Chick-fil-A many times, and have always been pleased. I highly recommend!

My wife wanted something light for lunch so I suggested we try the chicken salad factory in Donna. The staff Ed helpful and friendly I ordered the scoop salad which comes with 2 scoops of your choice of chicken salad choice of spinach, or greens one mix of both and saltines or jalapeño cornbread muffins I selected the signature factory chicken salad and creamy cilantro avocado chicken salad with a mixture of both greens and spinach along with some saltines they scoops were quite small just a little bigger than a melon scooper and was given just. Full scoop of each the signature factory tasted like an average chicken salad nothing special while the creamy cilantro avocado had more avocado and bland chicken taste to it than anything i couldn't taste any cilantro and it needs to be seasoned my wife ordered a famous Waldorf chicken salad sandwich on wheat bread but I don't know how that ended up for her as we picked up and I brought mine home and she had hers at work. Not sure if I would return because the portions are kind of a Let down compared to other similar restaurants in the area and the food was not as flavorful Ias I expected it to be.

I had been wanting to try Jerusalem Mediterranean Bistro and store for a while. Here in the RGV,…read moreMexican food is everywhere, but when you want something different, unique, and delicious, this is a great option. Jerusalem Mediterranean Bistro faces Trenton Road in a small shopping center at the intersection with Sugar Road. It's flanked by other stores and because it's not large it's easy to miss. As I walked inside I was intrigued by the calm ambience and the soft Middle Eastern music playing in the background. The window had a beautiful display of various sets of tea and coffee pots and cups, dates, nuts, as well as other items. I walked down the wall on the right which is lined with shelves containing all kinds of Middle Eastern foods for sale: canned, dry foods, spices, and even a freezer in the back with frozen foods, most of which I won't try to spell. Only one I remember well enough and that is the frozen falafel ready to heat up and enjoy at home. The owner / operator welcomed me, and even gave me a free sample of hot tea as he explained that all their ingredients are authentic and imported from the Middle East. As I waited for a friend who was to join me I viewed the menu and saw they offer gyros, falafel, shawarma, sandwiches, soups, kabobs, salads, and plates of lamb, beef, chicken and more. They have Vegan or vegetarian options as well with entrees like lentil soup, hummus, salads, etc. For drinks they have imported drinks, teas, juices, carbonated and non-carbonated, mineral waters, fresh water, and beers. You can get tacos and a soft drink anywhere. Here, you can get authentic Mediterranean cuisine and an imported drink unlike anything you've had before. I got the gyro, the lentil soup, and a Freez carbonated fruit drink. They were all delicious. The fries that came with the gyro was so good and well seasoned I didn't need Ketchup. The Tzatziki sauce on the gyro was amazing. The lentil soup was also delicious and satisfying like a comfort food. Prices are very reasonable - especially considering much is imported. The service was excellent and friendly. This is a great place for a business lunch or a place to meet uo with friends or family. My friend and I really enjoyed our meal and want to return. Do yourself a favor and try them out!

I was born in Georgia (the country), and I've really missed food with a variety of spices and bold flavors. This meal reminded me of how comforting and exciting good food can be. The baba ghanouj had just the right amount of spice. Warm, balanced, and incredibly flavorful. The tabbouleh was so fresh and refreshing that I'm already trying to figure out how to recreate it at home. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, exactly how I like it: packed with flavor. The hummus was simply divine. The best hummus I've ever had. Paired with the soft, fresh pita, every bite was perfect. The garlic sauce instantly brought me back to my childhood. Some flavors have a way of unlocking memories, and this was one of them. And the tea was the perfect ending. It was exactly how I love my tea: soothing, aromatic, and just the right amount of sweetness. Thank you so much for such an incredible meal. Every dish felt like it was made with care, and every bite had its own story to tell. I'll definitely be visiting the restaurant and store soon. This is exactly my kind of food, and I can't wait to eat again!
