    No receipt, this was the only identifiable paper trail I have.
    Tim S.

    Never had an issue with Daves, before today. Went down here to get some bites and cheese fries. 3 things.... 1. No silverware. How are you supposed to eat cheese fries and bites without a fork. I mean, its doable, sure, but unless you want to caveman it with your hands, a fork comes in handy. 2. 9 bites. I know its a small complaint, but its 10 bites in the order, and I only got 9. 3. No receipt. I enter the receipt code for my points, couldnt do that with this order. Drive through lady was nice, food was great as usual, but those 3 things killed the vibe today.

    This was a pretty good experience for us! The food here is great! The flavor and spice level were almost perfect at a medium. I could almost go a little hotter. The portions are generous, but this place is on the expensive side ($50 for two people with tip). My only real complaint is that the music was insanely loud, to the point we just went to eat outside. That sounds like an old person complaint though for two people in their 20's. It also didn't help that the seating inside was in need of a little cleaning. Overall a good trip and we will be back.

    I like this place a good bit. Consistently good and repetitive. I get the non chicken options just because I'm not a huge chicken fan. The Cauliflower bites are super good! They have a nice crunch and aren't soggy like you might expect. The meals are a great size and can be ordered with or without fries. The loaded fry is a new fav of mine! Service is always fast and friendly. The restaurants are cool, graffiti spray decor on the walls. Restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating.

    This was our first time dining in. The seating inside is minimal, but there are tables outside. The staff here was friendly. We ordered Dave's #1 and Dave's #2, both hot and with a side of Mac n cheese. Both were very good. A good amount of heat and the chicken was juicy. The Mac n cheese was pretty good! The only downside is that 2 Dave's #1s and 1 Dave's #2 with 2 medium drinks cost us almost $45. It's a lot of money for the food you get (to include a slice of sandwich bread).

    Late dinner and a wonderful surprise. Arrived to find a line inside and a line wrapped around the building outside. I ordered three medium spiced tenders with fries. Holy crap, the chicken was tender and juicy while being perfectly seasoned. The fries were hot and crispy, and again perfectly seasoned. After ordering and paying for my food, I was given my receipt with the number to have a seat and await my meal. The atmosphere is a traditional restaurant with seating and self-serve beverages.

    Pleasant surprise. The chicken was seasoned very well and was crispy! We got plain and mild. The mild was not too spicy and I'll definitely go up a notch next time I come in. The fries were all crunchy. Their house sauce was a little underwhelming, tasted like ketchup and mayo with some other seasoning. The size of the chicken strips were amazing! The atmosphere and staff were very welcoming. 3*** = Good but no separation from similar restaurants 4**** = Set themselves a part and their food is different and I want to go back. 5*****= You have to go out of your way and make a special trip to try the deliciousness that is there!

    Decent first experience at Dave's Hot Chicken. I went on a Friday around 2pm and it was surprisingly busy. Almost every table was occupied. It's not a massive restaurant on the inside, so depending on how busy it is, you may want to consider drive-through. For food my partner and I both got Dave's #3 which comes with a tender and a slider. We're open to spice but opted for Medium heat level to play it safe. We both found the Medium to be quite mild and agreed next time we would try Hot instead. The chicken itself is actually really good. The tenders were juicy and flavorful. The fries were good as well, fresh and crispy. I think some tenders don't work great for the sliders however. My slider had a very skinny tender, so only like half of my bites actually contained any chicken. My partner didn't have this issue. But for this reason, next time I'll stick with tenders and pass on the sliders. I also got a frozen lemonade which was an absolute joke of a drink. The drink was not mixed at all. The ice was clumped together and didn't work with the straw. So all I was getting was the juice/syrup, leaving behind a cup of clear ice. The service was friendly. Although I had a hard time hearing the team member while ordering. It's very echoey and loud inside. They could benefit from some sort of sound-proofing on the walls. Despite some of these callouts, I'll definitely return to Dave's very soon. The food was good and they're a unique addition to this area of Goodyear.

    Decided to try this place out. Not a bad spot decent prices different range of hotness. I got the #1 tenders they were good. Their special sauce you get on the side was ok not the biggest fan. But the chicken and fries was delicious. Gotta try their shakes next time

    Marcia D.

    Definitely needed to go try it out. During their opening weekend we saw crazy lines, but it was worth it. Music is right, and the flavors are on point! The whole family was pleased we were patient and stayed

    Ana H.

    We liked it, we had the chicken tenders combo, and it was perfect for one person, the place is cool with the wall art. And the service was okay could have been a little bit more friendly. If you like spicy this is the place for you.

    Dave's hot is always a solid spot to visit for a quick bite of solid chicken sandwiches. They have multiple spice levels for everyone and their sauce is amazing! The servers were quick and got our food out in a timely manner. Their insides are always nice and clean overall a solid spot.

    I'm a fan of Dave's Hot Chicken, but unfortunately this location was disappointing. The place was out of stock with napkins and utensils, tables were not clean, and the food itself did not taste made to order hot. The chicken is usually pretty tender but this location served semi dry and lukewarm tenders. It's unfortunate because this location is so close but this experience may keep me from going as much as I would have.

    Finally made it in to the Goodyear location. I was able to try the Dave's hot chicken mild. It wasn't as spicy as I'd hoped so I'll probably go up a spice next time. They give extra butter pickles which I appreciate. It did take awhile for my order but I think that's just how fresh the food is made! The Mac and cheese was really yummy and had good flavor!

    My husband and I decided to make the drive from the East Valley to try Pita Kitchen, and when we…read morearrived the place was packed -- usually a great sign. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. We ordered and were asked if we were dining in or taking our food to go. We said dining in, but there were no open tables inside (around 12 total) and zero tables available outside. We ended up waiting in the back for a table to open while staff repeatedly walked around looking for our table number, never once asking if the order might be ours. After several minutes, someone finally asked if we were number 11. We were. Once seated, the decor was cute, but service was mediocre at best. The food was the biggest disappointment. It had been a while since we last visited, and it's definitely not the same. The rice was bland and flavorless, and the gyro meat tasted like frozen, reheated product -- very dry, with the main flavor being salt. Instead of the fresh-carved gyro meat you typically see on a vertical rotisserie at most Greek restaurants, the kitchen area was closed off, so there was no visible preparation or carving station. For nearly $50, the experience simply did not match the price. Between the disorganized service and underwhelming food, we won't be back. Next time, we'll stick to supporting East Valley Greek spots that offer better quality and value. I want to preface, this place used to be good. Not sure of ownership changed, but save yourself a trip and find something better and more affordable

Their naan is reminiscent of pizza dough. It's always fresh and it's baked in-house in their tandoori oven. It's probably some of the best naan ever. And the hummus is thick.

It was a little unsettling to hear the server say "again?!?!!", but he promptly took it away, replaced it, and comped my meal. Despite the slight hiccup, I still enjoy this place.

    I am a HUGE Greek/Mediterranean food fan! Especially when I'm traveling for work (why I'm here in…read morePhoenix), and most food option to order aren't the healthiest, I always find this to at least be a halfway decent alternative. I ordered the chicken Medi bowl and it was so incredibly flavorful. I took the picture before I mixed everything together, but I was glad to see it did mix well. There's nothing worse than getting a bowl and trying to mix all the ingredients together, but you end up just taking giant bites of hummus with nothing else. Their portion size felt like just the right amount, with a good balance of chicken, veggies, quinoa, and a sauce to mix in. I was originally going to immediately give this place 4 stars max, because it's my biggest pet peeve when places don't give silverware with their takeout orders (I luckily had a fork from something else I ordered, but it was flimsy and not made for this bowl for sure). But after eating it, the flavors were out of this world that I did feel like it was deserving of 5 stars. We have some pretty great Mediterranean restaurants in Boise, but I think this definitely competes!

    We discovered this on our day of touring around Tempe before the Innings Festival. Located on an…read morealley of about 10 food establishments on the ASU campus. The inside was small and full of color. We did notice this was a very popular place for students, and it seemed about 80% were by mobile order. There are many things to like about this place but a few that made me also not like it. First off the main part, the food was great. The zesty wrap was a great price and very large, same as the Doner bowl, packed with all of the ingredients both me and my wife were very full after eating our meals clocking in a just over $30 tip included. Now for the downside, the menu posted inside above where they make everything, maybe I'm old, but it was just confusing to me. Then when you walk up to the counter to order they have a hand held menu that makes sense. Easy to understand. Wish I would have seen that first. The main thing that disappointed me was the service or lack thereof. Now I realize they were busy with mobile orders and maybe it's because it's in campus or i don't know. Even after standing from afar looking at the menu for a good 5-7 minutes nothing from the employees. Then walking up to the counter we stood at the register for AT LEAST 5 minutes with an employee less than 5 feet away with no acknowledgment whatsoever. Then when she was ready to take our order she was neither friendly nor happy. Overall Yelp doesnt do half stars but I would realistically give Spitz a 3.5, not 4. Great value and food, but lacking in service
