    We stopped by for a quick bite but the portions size turned out to be dinner. I ordered 3 tenders which were pretty huge and came with a side of coleslaw. Cashier P was super helpful and gave me a good tip on how to save money with the right combos. Looks like a newly opened branch which was swanky clean and spotless. The place was buzzing with customers and had such a good weekend vibe. Definitely would recommend for a quick bite!

    I usually do takeout when I get Dave's, and it's generally great. They've messed up a couple of my orders before, like the fries or heat level, but when they get it right, it's so good. The slider and tender with fries is super filling. You basically get two sandwiches in one meal. I love getting the Extra Hot, and I've definitely learned my lesson with the Reaper (painful in a way that's not enjoyable). The fries are always well-seasoned and never soggy, the pickles are crispy, and the sauce pairs perfectly.

    I enjoyed the chicken and the building. The let down here was the service. They did tell us it would be 15-20 minutes since they drop everything fresh. It was about 35 minutes after ordering when my husband went to check on the food and it took 10 more minutes for it to come out. He noticed the staff in the kitchen eating and laughing. I believe they forgot our ticket since we saw people who ordered after us get their food before us. Once we received our food some of it was cold. We had our son and it was getting late so we couldn't wait any more for fresh food. Overall a disappointing experience - I would rather get it to go or order delivery if I wanted it again

    This is over hyped. The food over all is mid, the chicken quality is there but the seasoning really had no flavor and there wasn't any spicy, we ordered medium not knowing where the spicy would lie on it, and that was a mistake. Seasoning looks more like red 40 mix! Good portion sizes just wouldn't return due to the overall taste. Dave's sauce tastes like mayonnaise with pepper. Service was good from the workers, we weren't explained much of the menu but! That's pretty normal. The building was clean and had a good vibe just wasn't for us!

    Anytime I see consistent customer service replies, I feel confident that at minimum they are listening, a very good quality. Let's be honest. Good help is hard to find. People have bad days. Poo happens. Kudos to Yelp reviewers and to customer service who listen.

    Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries & Small Vanilla Shake
    Maria F.

    A little pricey, but the slider was decently sized! Medium ain't spicy, so next time I'll definitely try hot/extra hot/reaper. Loved the fresh pickles & didn't hate the slaw (not a huge fan usually). Some fries were a bit soggy. Lastly, the vanilla milkshake was extra thick!

    Dylan took good care of me and I got my food hot and fresh. The dining room was clean and it's right in the heart of downtown. So looking outside the page picture windows while waiting on my food was nice. I got the bites with the fries medium heat. I'd say go.

    Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries

    I feel like pictures tell you everything you need to know. But just in case it doesn't. Dave's is honestly elite and dare I say the best chicken restaurant. The seasoning is so good, and the varying spice levels makes it so customizable. The menu is simple and the chicken is GOOD. not too heavily breaded, with the perfect sides. I don't usually care about fries all that much, but theirs are seasoned so well and the meal comes with a stack of pickles! What could be better honestly.

    Nasty bread
    Lucas D.

    Food usually really good, sometimes you get some Dave's bites that are just breading...this is mostly so y'all can train the people doing carry out to add all of the items into the bag under special requests and maybe give a better handling than just throwing the bag on the counter top and making no eye contact. The person at the register is the face of the location and what I got today made me not want to get Dave's for a while. Like I said good food, I know what a 1 star does when you're trying to get back above 4.5 so I didn't put a one star but will change it to a 1 if that happens again. Actually updating it now as I dug into the food they put the cold Dave's sauce on top of the bread which caused the bread to get wet, soggy and cold. Good job

    My youngest picked this spot for dinner and surprisingly it did not disappoint! I'll be honest I was very leery to come, but we had agreed to let her pick the place for dinner and she wanted her "favorite". We came in and was greeted immediately although whoever was working the front was swamped. I will say she was extremely patient and answered all our questions and guided us on the sauce levels for our sandwiches. I went with extra hot and hot because she said the hot was pretty hot. Well needless to say I was surprised that I actually loved and could handle the extra hot! It was good! I ordered the 2 sandwiches and fries and honestly it was too much, but I was glad to have w the sandwich later on in the evening. Mi Amor also ordered a cinnamon toast shake and before you get excited, it's really just a vanilla shake with the cereal on top. He said it was good but considering the price.....I don't think it as worth it. With our order we also asked for extra Dave's sauce on the side which was perfect for the fries. The lady at the front also gave us honey packets and told us to drizzle it on the sandwiches. She was right, it definitely took the sandwiches to the next level. We ate inside and I believe it only took about 10-15 minutes (if that) for our order to come up. The place was fairly empty and quiet on a Sunday afternoon but you could tell they were receiving tons of delivery orders as the kitchen was very busy. We would definitely come back, my girl DoorDash from them all the time and now I might have to tell them to go ahead and order me an extra hot chicken sandwich as well.

    Dave 10 pc. Dave's Bites w/ Fries  Mac & Cheese
    Tarina P.

    The chicken. The sauce. The spice. It's just so good. If you want quality fried chicken this is the place. I absolutely love the sliders and always get the spice level "Hot". But I tried the Dave Bites today with their Mac & Cheese and let's just say I'm a HUGE fan. The Mac & cheese is so creamy and not too cheesy, while the Dave bites are small little spicy crispy nuggets with the perfect crunch! You must get the sauce, it makes the whole meal!!

    Ashley H.

    Great food, cool atmosphere, a fantastic service. The chicken sliders dipped in their famous sauce was fantastic! It was on the pricey side but my son and I shared and got full off of the 1 meal. The pop machine was down, which was a bummer!!

Light, Dark and naked wings. I will start with sides. The greens, better than I ever had including AL, MS, LA and TN. Slaw was classic LA. Good, I am vinger slaw guy. Now for the chicken. First and foremost the medium is no joke HOT. Anyone can make something hot. But the flavor of the hotness is world class. Whatever they do, (brine whatever) the flavor is deep in the meat, including the breast. Absolutely fantastic. My only advice is if you find a raw jalapeno to hot, go one level down in spice. Unless you can set an eat raw Serranos, don't pay .$50 to go spicier. Who would have thought, amazing hot chicken, Indy.

It honestly hurt to see all that chicken go directly into the garbage, but they claim it was inedible. Since it's not a saucy type of flavoring, but a dry rub, they said that the heat was painful, and not flavorful. Back to the sandwich I enjoyed... I felt that there was a sweetness to the flavor that I liked, which I could see not everyone enjoying. There is also a hot dusting over the french fries which exacerbates any discomfort people are having from the heat. There really wasn't anything to cool it down. The macaroni and cheese was piping hot, although not spicy.

The entire place is covered with the evil eye charms, so you should definitely be safe here. I highly recommend reservations because they sure get busy. And while the ambiance is great, you really cannot linger for long, as there are usually folks waiting to get a seat. The menu is quite extensive and offers plenty for carnivores and vegetarians alike. I opted for the Iskender, which is crisp pita bread pieces topped with meat slices, all of it doused in a savory tomato based sauce and topped with dollops of yoghurt. The bread has little crisp edges and together with the meat and toppings gives you like a mini sandwich in your mouth. Simply delicious. The Turkish spices bring a wonderful flavor to the dish. I highly recommend it. Hat to admit it, but I have not been too impressed with the tzaziki on previous visits. It was somewhat runny and bland, but I haven't had in a while. Street parking is limited, but in the summer there is a gravel lot on the side of the neighboring building. However when it snows, parking can be a bit of a problem, so be aware.

I don't have a benchmark, since this is my single Indonesian food experience. I ordered the bala-bala and beef rendang. The bala-bala were packed with recognizable veggies and had a light crispy texture. Not greasy or oily at all. My main course came with rice, a jackfruit curry and kale. A green chili sauce, more like a relish is served on the side. It is very spicy. The beef was well spiced, fork tender and just dreamy. I was also surprised by the jackfruit curry-something I've never had but liked with the spiciness of the beef-I did use a lot of the green chili sauce. The place is small and very casual and serves coffee drinks but doesn't have a liquor license. You can carry in from the pub next door, though. The parking lot is very small but I think you can park in the adjoining lot by the pub. I went at an odd time and was the only customer other than a couple of drunk women trying to get coffee. There's also a small shop where you can buy Indonesian spices, mixes and coffee. I regret not buying the rendang mix! I'm definitely going back to try some of the other dishes, ideally with friends to share appetizers-I want that lumpia-and I'll be sure to grab a package of rendang spice on my way out.
