    10pc. Dave's Bites
    Alex D.

    This place is awesome. Very similar to hot chicken found in Nashville, TN. The food takes a while to be cooked, but it's always hot and fresh. The staff is always very helpful and kind, which goes a long way. I come to this place almost once a month, and I will continue to come for a long time.

    I'm not a fan of dry rubs, but this chicken was a gully pretty good. I don't think it was special or life changing, but it's good. I think for the price you can get a lot more at other chicken spots for sure

    Mac and cheese (not my favorite) "very hot" Slider (10/10!!!)
    Madison M.

    Amazing staff. Tiffany, The manager is so kind. The cheese fries and sliders are amazing the "very hot" is not hot enough that you need a milkshake but it packs a punch. The Mac and cheese wasn't my favorite but I believe they use American cheese which I don't like. I'd come back for a slider with cheese fries any-day!!

    I've visited the other location in FW and this location just didn't impress or wow me. The prices are expensive, I think for the slider combo it came out to $16 or something!! The chicken didn't seem as big as the other location. It's a tasty slider but for the price - more chicken would be nice. I really like the buns they use. Fries were good as is the Dave's sauce. The employees gave us free stickers with our order (which was nice) but weren't as attentive as at the other location. I think this store has only opened in the past week or so - so I'm hoping they sort their kinks out - good location for the TCU students - apart from the prices!!

    Medium spice
    Lexie C.

    This was the first Dave's location I had ever been to. Honestly, I thought it was pretty good, and the spice levels were spot on. I got medium for both my sandwich and my tender, giving them both a good spice but nothing overbearing. I also like the sauce that the fries came with and how the fries were seasoned as well. The fact that they take FrogBucks on the TCU meal plan was a plus as well.

    Two tenders- hot

    A little spicier than expected! Nice kick of paprika and sugar on top of the heat. Don't worry, two tenders are plenty. Very friendly service. The tabletop we sat at was sticky.

    Great customer service. Food was good. Got the chicken tender with regular fries. I got the lite mild, which wasn't spicy at all. I'll definitely try the mild next time. Nice and crispy.

    Chase was amazing. Very helpful on deciding what to get. The food was mediocre. Wouldn't drive out here again but if i was in the area i might stop. Got the reaper, however wish it was more of a wet sauce rather then dry rub.

    #4 with Mac & Cheese

    #4 with Mac & Cheese First time here and I'm super impressed! We said it was our first time here and the manager Tiffany preceded to give us 4 drinks on the house! We then went to sit and heard someone ordering cheese fries, so we went back and asked to add cheese onto our side of fries and they said don't worry about paying!! Definitely the royal treatment for our first time. The food came very quickly and was SOOOO good. Personally I wasn't a huge fan of the Mac and cheese but the slider and fries and sauce were amazing!! Such a friendly staff, talked to many of them! 10/10

    Becky F.

    So good!! We have tried several other hot chicken places and they were all so greasy! The chicken is crispy, seasoned perfectly and not greasy at all! Fries were great and the mac and cheese was creamy and delicious. I wish I would have gotten a side of the slaw...

    Slider & tender combo and for tender seasoning got Hot

The chicken itself was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with that signature seasoning that keeps you coming back for more.

I could honestly order those alone and be happy. The atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming, and the service matched the quality of the food--friendly, fast, and attentive. If you're craving real, flavorful fried chicken with a kick, Gus's is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back!

Everyone's different, not saying they were bad. Just different. And the Mac was not my favorite. Once I saw they pour the bag of Mac n cheese in a heater. Then I was like ahh.

Will come back again. And try different sides.

Ambiance was good no complaints. Dining room was clean and comfortable. I like that they offer booths and tables for seating. The decor is simple with chicken art. The vibe is laid back and gives a little bit of country down to earth feel. Mimosas were definitely full of champagne! Chicken sandwich was moist and juicy. I like the slaw and pickles that come on it. I chose medium heat, but next time I want it a bit more spicy. I wanted sweet heat sauce on it. I think there was a slight misunderstanding with that. The sauce that comes on it doesn't have a kick. Quick fix they brought me a side of it. Once I poured that SWEET HEAT SAICE on my chicken sandwich it was magical. My mouth was happy and excited. This sauce definitely makes a difference. You will be singing to the chicken GODS lol. It made the chicken taste so good. The fries were hot, a bit salty for my liking. They give you a generous portion of fries though. The sweet potato fries seem to be the popular choice. Everyone had them on their table. I will have to try those. Overall a very good visit! I left satisfied and FULL! It's a popular place on weekend and they get a good crowd. You can order margaritas, beer or mimosas so that's a bonus. Thanks Cookshack for the hospitality.

I'll start by saying that these are the best fries I've ever had. I am obsessed with fries. They are in my top 3 foods if I could only eat three things the rest of my life. So you know I've eaten my fair share of fries. And these are THE best I've had. Thin, but not too thin, perfect amount of crispness, and the seasoning...so good! Must try. I could go on and on about the fries, but I had other food as well. Haha. I will say, there aren't a ton of vegetarian options on the menu, BUT the options available are good. I had the veggie wrap and it was pretty flavorful. The veggies are crispy and fresh, and the added sauce just makes it that much better. I also did try the sweet potatoes and they were delicious! I didnt try the other dishes, but look at them...big portions and the person who ordered it loved them! Finally the place itself is beautiful. I didnt take any pictures, but it was bright and super welcoming. Overall, a must try! I know I'll definitely be back.

I'm not sure what their experience what, but I'm going to die on this hill that this is some phenomenal, life-changing chicken. I got takeout. Double flavor wings. Gang-jeong. Perfect balance of sweetness, umami, and heat. The other flavor was chessling. Again, perfect balance; this time, it was between rich cheesiness and a right amount of sweetness as well. I highly recommend both flavors. Now, this is just about the flavor itself. The meat itself was so tender and juicy. In the most appetizing, and hopefully not weird (but inevitably weird) way to describe it, it's almost as if I just caught the chicken with my bare hands and took a bite out of it. However, instead of getting feathers in my mouth, I was met with the most satisfyingly crispy exterior. What was specifically amazing about it was the fact that you could distinctly taste the tender meat on the inside separate from the crispy crunch on the outside. This was one of those meals where once I was done, I was in a complete coma afterwards. I woke up the next day in my bed about an hour or two before I had to get to work. Even though I was in a short vegetative state, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
