    First time trying out Dave's Hot Chicken. It captures your attention with their recognizable signage and cool interior paintings customized for Highlands Ranch. I was afraid this would be another overpriced "fast casual" chicken sandwich place. Fortunately, we were able to order a combo that came with two sliders and fries for a reasonable price (about $17?). It was also a chance to try it out without committing to two full meals. The sliders were big, spiced, chicken tenders. Don't be fooled by the name slider! We chickened out and got the mild spice level. It was a true blend of spices and flavor. Not spicy in heat whatsoever, so anyone sensitive to spice should give it a shot. But I think that I could handle medium, but I'm so afraid to go beyond that for sure.

    Second time to Dave's and honestly for $11, this is a hard meal to beat. The crinkle fries are perfectly seasoned and crispy golden brown, the medium chicken sandwich has a perfect blend of heat and spices, and you get extra house made pickles. Maybe quality is better right at open, but I have yet to be disappointed. Staff is also very friendly and fun!

    Good food, chicken is really good and juicy with crispy outside. Excellent service by the team. Each order is prepped fresh. Clean restaurant. Stay with Medium to taste the chicken. The rest is too hot in my opinion

    Got there and there was a line but it was not a long wait and I had plenty of time to look at the menu. I ordered and the workers were friendly. I got my food fast and it was very hot lol I had only been here one other time but in a different location and it was just as good as I remember. Definitely a stand out restaurant and I definitely want to come back!

    We arrived around 11am to a brightly lit, clean restaurant. The friendly cashier asked if it was our first time. We told them yes, but we were ready to order. The two tenders with fries were hot and delicious. We tried the mild and medium - their heat scale was spot on. The chicken tenders were juicy and delicious. Just make sure to grab a few extra napkins if you like to use your hands to eat.

    I was really hoping I would like this place but unfortunately I didn't love it. The restaurant was nice and clean, the service was friendly, but tbh I just wasn't a super fan of the chicken. It made my stomach hurt. The fries were decent and I liked the sauce. But I probably won't be back. I felt that it was also expensive for what you were getting. I'd rather just have chick fil a.

    Mai loves the reaper heat too.

    I giving my rating on the heat of the chicken. This week I have hit up two different hot chicken places that both required waivers to be signed and I wanted the hottest of the hot. I got the reaper sandwich with fries. I ain't gonna lie this chicken was damn hot. It hit hard and goes deep but like most good things it didn't last more than 5 minute. If you really like it hot then you need to give it a shot. To add a little more info. The bun was really good. I would have liked a little more slaw on there. Pickles were crisp the Dave's sauce was on point. Highly recommends I also got the milk shake which was very creamy and a great finisher.

    Sadly, Snarf's hasn't made it to Kansas City and the one in STL just isn't the same as the Colorado…read moreones. I always make it a point to grab a sandwich from snarfs when I'm in Colorado. I've been to multiple locations and found great quality, service, and consistency every time. I visited the Highlands Ranch location on my most recent trip and wasn't disappointed. I was on my way to RedRocks and ordered online. It was simple, quick, and easy. My order was ready when I arrived but the interior of the restaurant looked clean. The employees were friendly. I always get the super club and on this visit it was exactly how I remembered it. Delicious! I also get a jumbo pickle because I just have to, they're so good! If you're in the area definitely stop in! I can't wait until I can again or Snarfs comes a little further east!

    I had a very poor experience and I'm still frustrated with the interaction I had with the employee…read moreso take this review with a grain of salt. I placed an order online for my wife and daughter after a long day at an outdoor charity event, we were all tried and hot and hungry. My other daughter and I ordered from a different sandwich shop that does not deliver. The Snarf sandwiches were delivered while I was out picking up the rest of dinner. The sandwiches delivered were wrong. I called the store and told the employee that we got the wrong food. They offered to refund me and I explained that I wanted the correct food because I still had people to feed. Note to Snarfs if I wanted the different food I would have ordered the different food. They said that they could remake the food but couldn't guarantee delivery because they use a third party service. This sent me through the roof. I started to rant about what is the point if I still don't know if food is actually coming when the employee cut me off and demanded to talk. Fine; pissed me off but we were getting nowhere so I get it. They finally told me that they got confirmation from the third party that they could do another delivery so that is what we settled on. I then go a text from that third party that they couldn't deliver for another 40 minutes. Now we are approaching bed times and that is really not going to work so I drove to Snarfs because it is like five minutes from the house. I just want to feed my family at this point. When I got to the shop I just asked for my food so I could go home. I wasn't even mad anymore just tired and over the whole thing. As I walked in they said that the third party just picked up the food and it was on its way to my house {twenty minutes sooner than they texted}. I literally followed the driver to my house, I didn't know it was them until they got to my neighborhood but then I assumed. They handed me the food in the driveway. Due to the whole experience, if it is up to me I will not use Snarfs again. There are other sandwich shops around that I didn't have a bad evening with.

The sandwiches are generously sized, with only one size available--so either come hungry or bring a friend to share. The process is simple: pick from the options, which they have quite a few to choose from, choose your bread, add your toppings, and you're set. They do get busy, so plan ahead if you're coming for lunch or dinner. The restaurant has a side patio where you can enjoy your sandwich if the weather cooperates, and a few seats inside for a cozy bite. Overall, Ike's delivers on flavor, portion, and atmosphere. If you're looking to elevate your sandwich game, this is definitely the place to do it.

I went around 11:30am & was the 3rd person in line...ALREADY! Good sign! If you don't know what I mean, sorry. The menu board is HUGE, I'd say there has to be at least 100 sandwiches, so I'm going to have to update my reviews for Ike's on a monthly basis! The girl (Milena) taking the orders was extremely nice & knowledgeable & I must say that I saw more girls in the kitchen than guys! Another good sign!!! When it was my turn to give my order, I realized I didn't know what I wanted. I noticed a large poster board that had a few sandwiches/specials on it & spotted #98, the Jaymee Sirewich, which is Fried Chicken, Ike's Yellow BBQ Sauces ,Ranch , & Pepper Jack. And really, it was EXCELLENT! So tender was the chicken & so clean tasting. Couldn't even tell that I ate a sandwich, it was so light! Couple different types of rolls & Milena suggested that I go with the Dutch Crunch. Let me tell you, it was a really good place to grab a sandwich & very economical as well. With Unlimited Fountain sodas & a 20% tip, it was around $18, and that's a bargain! Ike's was extremely clean, maybe it was because I went at 11:30am, but you can tell that Ike's is neat & tidy whenever they're open! I can't wait to try my next Ike's because with so many choices, I'll never get tired of them! I

    Highlands Ranch, Colorado…read more This place has been here for quite some time, but this was my first visit. You walk in to the restaurant and there is a menu on the wall. You can choose salads, pasta, or calzones. They also have a display case of gelato. They say they make their food fresh with real ingredients. It is a walk up to the counter and order type of restaurant. You then seat yourself at one of the eight tables that are in the restaurant. They are quite busy with carry out. The guy who rang up our order has no personality. He never said hello. In fact, he never spoke to us at all until I said hello. He never spoke back or acknowledged my greeting. I said well I think I know what I want and ordered my pizza. After I placed my order, he looked at my husband and said "and you"? I think he needs to have some better communication and people skills to be working the front counter. The girl who was working with all of the guys tonight, smiled and was pleasant. Only complaint is that the kids are all on their phone behind the counter. We received our pizza quickly. I had the Margherita pizza and my husband had the Molto carne. The pizza did have fresh ingredients. It was piping hot. It is wood fired, and the crust was thick around the edge, which I absolutely love and thin in the middle. Although my pizza had delicious flavor, the crust itself on the bottom was a bit undercooked. I will also say that the toppings were not spread evenly as I had a portion of the pizza that did not have a tomato or mozzarella. My husband liked his pizza. Their soda cups are awful! And I mean truly miserable to drink from. They are a paper cup and as soon as you put in your fountain soda or water, they become soft and flimsy. I had to hold the cup with two hands in order for it not to spill. Absolutely ridiculous. You really need to get new cups. I have issue with them charging a service fee for using a credit card. Please let me know that you do this. I would've been more than happy to pay cash had I known. You can see it on the receipt picture I have attached. Overall, I thought the food was very good. Next time, I would bring my own drink or water bottle. I might also just go up to the counter and not say a word. And see how the young man who rang me up handle that in the future. When I go out to dinner, I want to be acknowledged and treated with respect. I would give the pizza a 4.5 star. I would give the service a 1.0 star I would give decor a 2.5 star. I would give ease and placing the order 4.5 star. I would give their cups a zero star. I give this place three stars overall. If the service had been good and I didn't have a paper cup that melted in my hand, they would have been 4+ stars.

The food is just lunch meat that's not even as good as the roast beef from Walmart. And no I'm no kidding. The rye bread was the saving grace for this meal and luckily I shared with my family so they could try it too. I'm pretty disappointed in the quality of the food overall but the hubby said the hot dogs were good but $16 for two hot dogs is ridiculous. The green chili fries were shoestring so they can't hold up a green chili cheese topping. Maybe they were out of regular fries. Definitely should be listed in the menu as shoestring. I wouldn't have ordered them. Plus they get cold in about 4 mins. We love to support local restaurants but I have to be honest; the prices are ridiculous and the quality is below average. I'm sadden by our experience today and won't be back.
