    Dave's Hot Chicken is my new chicken place. With customizable heat levels and genuinely good vegetarian options, this has become a go-to for me when I'm craving protein. While I am not vegetarian, one of the folks I live with is. I wish more chicken places had a cauliflower option like Dave's does, because it's so easy to get something for everyone in my house when we start getting that spicy craving. 5 words: Dave's Hot Chicken with honey. Just trust me on this one. This spicy, sweet, and perfectly crispy combo is easily addictive and will get you as hooked on Dave's as I've become. While I haven't eaten in a Dave's yet, only ordered take-out through a meal delivery app, they are always super quick and I get my food while the chicken is still hot and fresh. Give this place a shot!

    took a decent amount of time to receive my food but oh well i can live with that and me and my buddy are patient. my only issue is that my chicken was damn near raw, and my strawberry milkshake tasted like straight foam. i won't be returning.

    Very good tenders and fries. Excellent coating chicken tender and moist. Great to see new location in Springfield on Mohawk St. Went through drive thru it was very fast.

    Tried this chicken spot recently. The food was okay nothing special or memorable, just average. The service was good though, friendly and quick. I'd eat here again if it was convenient, but it's not something I'd go out of my way for or crave.

    Dave's is one of those spots I usually only go to after being out for the night. They are one of the few places open late in Eugene and is super close to the popular college bars. I can't say how good the food is on a typical day but I do know that their hot tenders are so very scrumptious after consuming 4 shots of tequila and a few amfs. A group of friends and I came the other week around 1:30am and it was still extremely busy. This night we thought it would be best to order an entire platter of tenders and fries because we would save a few dollars and it was definitely one of our better ideas. Even though having an order so large so late must of been a hassle, the staff was so nice and accommodating.

    Food and service was great this past week when we went in! Tried the mac and cheese for the first time and it was really bland honestly but the chicken was super good! Huge portions, tasty and perfectly cooked. Lots of tables around to sit.

    Food was fresh, lots of flavor, good portions and the staff were nice and helpful. I got the mild version it's perfect for me. Lots of seasoning but in the best way! Even the fries are seasoned!

    Wow....this place rocks. We've been hearing about Dave's Hot Chicken for a while now. Tonight, we decided to trek into town to try them out. I can say, We are 100% not disappointed. The chicken is cooked hot ( like, not spicy, just cooked hot) and the taste is to die for. I got two sliders (which are a very good size for being sliders) with hot and extra hot seasoning. I gotta stress, spicy foods to me taste mild(ish) at best, so be forewarned, it's possible the hot and extra hot are out of some peoples taste pallets). The Fries are delicious. My wife really enjoys her mild slider and tender (she could only eat half her meal). The music they were playing was good music. The decor is kind of like modern graffiti style. This is definitely a place to try if you've never had before. And grab the app and earn rewards to get free food!

    Well, I've been hearing all this noise about Dave's Hot Chicken being the Chik-fil-a killer... I just had to try it myself. Ok... it's good, but comparing it to Chik-fil-a isn't really a good way to think of Dave's. This is a unique product that is quite good. I took the family (5 of us) and the total bill was $80 so not too bad. I had the sliders and as spicy stuff can really go wrong with me... I ordered the mild and the medium spice levels. Not too hot but not boring either. I liked the fries, as crinkle cut fries go they were nicely crunchy and seasoned without being obnoxious. From the time we ordered to the time our food arrived was about 10 minutes. The folks taking orders and getting the food out to customers were all pleasant and friendly. The restaurant itself is colorful and somewhat noisy but not so noisy we couldn't have pleasant conversation at our table. A group of 5 was tight at their tables so more than 5 would probably need to take two tables. I made a special trip to try Dave's Hot Chicken tonight. I probably won't make a special trip again, but if I'm in Eugene and feel like a tasty, reasonably priced, chicken forward dinner I'd go again. Definitely worth a try... I saw a guy eating the hottest spice level... he was sweating and had tears and snot running out of his face... I guess it's spicy.

This isn't the place to bring a group. Inside is tight-there are two small low tables close by together and a narrow bar at one end with maybe 5 stools. There is an outdoor seating area but it was full today. Menu is fairly small. They have fish & chips, fish sandwiches, fish/shrimp salads and 3 types of grilled fish with rice. There are a few sides. There are also daily specials. We had a salmon sandwich with a side of fries and grilled yellowtail with rice which was the special for the day. The salmon sandwich (ordered no sauce or shredded cabbage) was good but nothing special. I'm sure the cabbage and tartar sauce would have given it a bit of zip. The fries were ok. The yellowtail didn't have much flavor until you out what tasted like a light teriyaki. It had brown rice which was nice & chewy and the sauce gave it flavor. You really have to cook fish with flavors like garlic, lemon or something to give it flavor. Service was really good. They were very willing to put things on the side or remove them. I don't think I'd go back. If it's nothing special, I'm not going to pay for a meal out.

I haven't been to a Jimmy John's in about 5 years. I used to be a regular, and gosh, I must admit I have been missing their sandwiches. I brought my friend here because she never had Jimmy John's, and this was the one nearest us. The cashier was very patient as my friend is vegetarian and was trying to figure out what to eat. She got "#6 The Veggie", and I the "#14 Bootlegger Club". The service was "freaky fast" and somewhat friendly as well, making sure we ordered what we wanted. [The sandwiches]: The Veggie has mayo, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, double provolone cheese, and Jimmy John's Avocado spread. The Bootlegger Club has turkey, roast beef, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. I added cucumber and Jimmy John's own mustard. JJ's own mustard, I would say is like old-fashioned German mustard, which has whole mustard seeds, so it's filled with spice but not 'spicy'. I love the fact this sandwich has 2 different deli types of meat!! An ample amount of each meat and sandwich kept me full for the rest of my day. I love Jimmy John's sandwiches because they are made with French bread/baguette. Love the fluffy interior and that crusty, crispy exterior, a great quality bake. I'm thinking I'm going to be coming here more regularly!

It was so flavorful and fresh! My husband went with the Torta Ahogada, which came highly recommended. It had a lot of great flavors between the succulent pork, the smoky sauce, and the vibrant pickled onions. One thing to note, it's smothered in a smoky red sauce, so not one you can pick up and eat. This place is definitely worth a try if you are in the area!

I know that all JM locations are open to 9pm, why should this one be different? After checking the hours, I eventually walked up, expecting them to be closed. However, the door was unlocked so I went in. I saw one staff member cleaning and everyone else was in the back. After a minute or two, a young girl came out and greeted me. I asked if they were open and she said they were. I mentioned that the OPEN sign was off. She said they turn it off early because they clean. She then called for someone that could use the slicer and make me a sub. I was served by Brian and when I mentioned that this was my first time at this location and I am from the Point Pleasant area in New Jersey (and I've been going to JM locations for over 30 years), that I would have high expectations. He apologized for the condition of the store since everyone was cleaning up. He was friendly and speedy. After reading several reviews, it appears that this location does not live up to the JM standards. I'd have given five stars but the OPEN sign made it an inconvenience.
