Safety hazard After you pay, there's napkins to the left of the cash register. As you're getting them you can see the soda fountain to your left. But, as you stand up to go there they have positioned a large tv above your head so that you can catch the corner of it as you stand up.

After wanting to try this place for a long time, I finally stopped in on a whim. My first impressions were excellent: the restaurant was spotless and the staff was incredibly friendly. They created a very welcoming atmosphere from the moment I walked in, setting a great tone for the meal. The food was so close to perfection! The chicken itself was wonderfully moist and fresh, and the fries were seasoned perfectly. The chocolate milkshake was a real highlight--you could tell it was made with quality ingredients and it was absolutely delicious. For about $15 a person, the price felt more than fair for the generous portions and overall quality. The single reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five is the salt level on the chicken's coating. While the flavor was good, the excessive saltiness unfortunately detracted from how delicious the actual chicken was. It was just a bit too much for me. I would still recommend Dave's Hot Chicken, but with that one reservation.

The reason I'm giving this location 3 stars is because I had very drastic experiences the two times I've been here. The first time we came here we ordered the Dave's #1 2 tenders with fries, some bites, and large loaded fries. Everything was seasoned to perfection and the spice levels were up to the level we ordered. Pick up was easy and efficient! After seeing they added the Dave's Hot Moz to their menu we went back and it was a complete miss. We usually order our chicken very spicy (extra hot and reaper) and on the second visit it wasn't spicy at ALL. The chicken and mozzarella bites were also extremely salty. The mozzarella was overly salted we couldn't eat more than the first bites we took. The mozzarella bites batter should be spicier instead of salty. The cheese itself is already salty so I wasn't sure why the batter was heavily salted. I'm not sure what happened the second time, but I'm not a fan of food quality changing in a span of three weeks. Overall the restaurant is pretty decent sized and has a large seating area inside as well as some tables outside. The employees here are also super friendly and always answer any questions I've had. There is also plenty of parking at this location. I do have to say this location tends to get super busy during the weekend so I highly recommend online ordering for easy pickup!!

Dave's hot chicken is --it slaps. I legit cry every time and I'm happy about it lol uhhhhhh I get a number 1? Um yelp says this has to be longer so once upon a time in a good spot far far from my place a little gmo chicken made me very happy. No seriously this place is really good. 10/10 recommend if you want spicy food.

Mac & Cheese

Excellent tasting chicken! Very flavorful. They have chicken tenders, sliders & bites (nuggets). For the vegetarians, they have cauliflower tenders, sliders & bites aka Dave's Not Chicken (Cauli). They have 7 different options for heat from no spice to reaper. You have to sign a waiver for the reaper level. I got my slider lite mild and my husband got his medium heat. He said there was very little heat on the medium but all the flavor was there. He's going to try hot next time and I will try the next heat level myself. The sliders come on a potato bun dressed with lots of pickles, kale slaw & Dave's sauce. I like that the to go order comes with extra Dave's sauce on the side and also lots of pickles on the side. I only wish my slider had a bit more kale slaw. I may have to ask for extra slaw next time. It definitely didn't look like the amount of slaw on the slider pictured on their online menu. Their sides were really good as well. We both got fries and he got a side of mac & cheese. The fries were crispy & very flavorful. The mac & cheese was really good too. Lots of cheese! We placed the order online and picked it up inside because the drive thru line was insanely long. Inside was also busy but since our order was already placed online it was ready and waiting for us. So keep that in mind if you're in a hurry.

Dave's hot chicken is amazing! It's so hot and so delicious! Love the chicken and the sauce. We also love the Mac N cheese. I've only had to it delivered so I've never visited a store. But, I'll keep ordering. Thanks!

Great new addition with various levels of heat indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of parking. Drive thru also available.

#Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries

Sat and waited in the drive thru for 15 mins they gave us our shake. They then had me pull up in the sun for another 20 mins. The shake is melted. No one was in line no one inside. At this point I could have gone to coops and back. Coops has better pricing, better quality, more options and have been serving the community for longer. I recommend coops and will discourage others from coming. Wish I could say it was a one time thing but based off other reviews it not and isolated incident. Tiny portions as well for the price DO NOT COME HERE!!

Floppy fries, floppy white bread, and it's like they put dry rub on their chicken AFTER they cooked it so it eats sandy. GO TO COOP's

i've eaten here sooo many times and here's a comprehensive review:…read more to begin, everything tastes quite fresh and the choice of ingredients for the bowls including the chick peas, jalapeños, and sauce are all excellent. the rice here is good and the chicken tastes great. let's talk price. this place can be quite expensive, especially if you are ordering something like a shawarma. personally, i wouldn't just because the amount you get for the price is quite small. for the rice platters, id say it's also a touch expensive for the size, however, there is a deal occasionally on uber eats where you can buy one get one. uber eats of course charges enough in service fees and delivery to basically charge you the full amount anyway, but if you have uber one or some other deals you could get these on an excellent deal. now, i LOVE my halal food, and there really aren't many options for good halal-cart style halal food in college station and even considering that, i find myself missing abu omar when im away from cstat. but when im here, i usually pass by the cart just because the prices are too high to justify eating regularly. i'd definitely suggest running some deals so atleast on certain days its more accessible for students. with that out of the way, id recommend trying a rice platter from abu omar. the staff is nice, the packaging is nice, and the food comes out decently fast. it tastes great and *if* you enjoy it relatively soon after getting it (i.e. your delivery didn't take a long time to arrive, if ordered) you can typically enjoy it quite warm, which is awesome. personally, ill definitely keep eating and enjoying the food from here and keep wishing there were better recurring deals or prices across the menu. taste: 9.5/10 price: 6.5/10 overall: 8/10! a solid, classic halal food cart option in cstat. one of few choices for great halal food. give them a try, but know it's a bit expensive for a student's meal.

I love abu omar Italian shawrma zinger shawrma rap fries 100% definitely recommend this placeread more

Walking in, I immediately noticed the warm lighting, stylish décor, and the soft hum of conversation. it felt like stepping into a hidden gem. We started with their signature Lentil Soup, and let me tell you, they set the tone for the night: creamy, perfectly seasoned, and just the right amount of indulgent. For my main course, I chose the seared Family Platter. The beef Kabab was cooked medium-exactly as requested, juicy and tender. The service was outstanding -- Romeo and Jordan were very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and timed everything just right. It's always a plus when you feel genuinely welcomed instead of just rushed through your meal. For dessert, we had The Trio Blakava, and their Tiramisu cake. Prices were reasonable, but for the quality of food, atmosphere, and service, it felt completely justified. I'll definitely be back, especially to try their brunch, which I've heard is just as impressive. Thanks Romeo, and Jordan for making my birthday feel special.

Lamb, chicken & beef. Beef was my personal favorite along with the hummus. So smooth and tasty! Edwardo took very good care of us. Wonderful service and atmosphere. The tea served at the end was a delightful touch. Nice open outdoor patio area as well. I can't wait to go on Friday or Saturday to see the belly dancers. This place is clean and well maintained. Bathrooms were nice and clean as well. For something a little different for dinner, go eat here. It's well worth it!

I'm not big on bashing small businesses because I understand that mistakes happen. However, this…read morewasn't the first time I received an incorrect order--it was the second. The first time, I simply made do with what I received. This time, I contacted the company because several items were incorrect. The gentleman who initially answered the phone was sweet as pie and tried to assist, but unfortunately, he didn't have a resolution for my issue. Shortly after we hung up, I received a call from someone who stated that he was the owner. He was initially very apologetic, and I sent him pictures showing what I ordered versus what I actually received. He explained that DoorDash posts the pictures of the food, not his company. He offered to refund me for two items, but I explained that I still wasn't satisfied because the one item I did receive was room temperature at best. At that point, the entire order was essentially a loss. When I asked for a full refund, I was told that I needed to return the food. I explained that the food had already been delivered, so I wasn't sure how I was expected to return it. That's when the conversation completely changed. The owner accused me of trying to get money from his company, said I was manipulating them, continued making disrespectful comments, and ultimately hung up in my face. That part bothered me more than the incorrect order. Mistakes happen. Food gets mixed up. Orders can be prepared incorrectly. I can understand all of that. What I don't understand is making a customer feel as though they are dishonest or trying to take advantage of your business simply because they are asking for a resolution to a problem. At the end of the day, my family still didn't have dinner, I paid for an order that was not properly fulfilled, and the biggest concern seemed to be defending the business rather than providing customer service. I genuinely wish the outcome had been different because I try to support small businesses whenever I can. But customer service matters especially when something goes wrong. How you handle the mistake can leave a much bigger impression than the mistake itself.
