    This restaurant is amazing. I eat here often. Very often. My favorite menu item is the spicy bbq saucy bites. I would recommend that everyone try this place. Michael and the team are amazing. They are always friendly and nice. I like to see their smiling faces when I pick up my order.

    Love coming here as it's always good and always filling. Price is very good and you get a lot for what you're spending. The chicken is always cooked to perfection. Nice and moist while also being very crispy. We went with the Hot level of spice today and it's was pretty good, will try the next level next time we're in. Service was great, the guy at the counter was friendly and the other staff were helpful with getting extra items. It's always loud when I've been and the seating is a little odd. It's either completely full or there's a weird number of people where you're not sure if you'll be able to fit.

    Good food, had the new Dave's big trio with the new Dave's mozz sticks. nice people welcoming, employees we're quick and studious.

    Overall, good quality fast food. I got the chicken slider with fries, which were both seasoned very well. The Dave's sauce on the side was also flavorful. They have a lot of different spice levels. I chose hot, but it was a bit much for me even though I regularly eat spicy food. Lines can get long to order at counter, but they seem to move fast. The mac and cheese was pretty plain so I would not get again.

    This is a great place for a great chicken sandwich! A casual eatery, but pretty busy most of the times I've gone. Expect to wait at least 10-15 minutes on a weekend day, especially a Sunday. The staff are friendly and quick to take your order and get it out as soon as they're able to. The heat is actually spicy, too! I usually get mild but yesterday got hot and it was indeed hot. The sliders are much more like a full sandwich and the tenders are more like 2 than 1, which is a great thing. My husband and I split a #3 which is a slider, tender, and fries, and both of us were full after the meal. The pricing is pretty average to other casual eateries. I don't love eating in, there's usually minimal tables available and it's so cold inside.

    Tried Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time! We don't have this in Tulsa, OK so I was so excited to try it since moving to Omaha. I was underwhelmed. I think I'm just not a Nashville spice type of gal. I can see why it is so popular though. I got the Dave's #1 mild which came with two tenders and fries. I loved how huge the tenders were. I also loved the batter and how crispy it was. I would've liked the fries to have some other type of seasoning on them instead of the Nashville spice it came with. Wasn't a huge fan of the dipping sauce. The pickles were a great addition. It was quite expensive for fast food. Our total was $30 for the #1 and #4.

    I finally made it to Dave's Hot Chicken for lunch today and now I see what the hype has been about. Huge chicken portions, delicious seasoning, customizable spice levels and sides too! I did a to go order online so it was ready when I arrived. By the time I got back to work, everything was still hot and fresh! I went with the #3 to try one of each: A tender and a slider with fries and bread. As others have said, the slider is more like a whole piece of chicken! The kale slaw is a great concept and unique flavor compared to traditional coleslaw. Not as runny as other slaws I've had which I preferred. Pro tip, add the side of honey to boost the flavor of this sandwich! The strip is just that, a plain chicken strip. Utilize their homemade dipping sauce with this one. Think chipotle mayo with a sweeter aftertaste. It was really good! I will definitely be back to try more of Dave's Chicken as soon as I can!

    Great flavorful sandwiches, where you can customize the heat level. If you're not a heat lover don't worry, you can get chicken without any hot spice. Also, don't be fooled by the word "slider" on their menu, they are a generous size! I usually opt for the one slider combo, but tried their two finger meal recently and again has plentiful amounts. I really like their kale slaw as a side! Overall, a great addition to the Saddle Creek corridor.

    I unfortunately forgot to take pics of my actual food. I ordered the 2 slider combo. Now just fyi, they use the term slider very loosely. This "slider" was a whole regular sized chicken sandwich. Wasn't nothing slider about it. And I had two of them I'm not sure who was supposed to eat all of that. Lol Service was decent. Everyone was friendly. Sandwiches were really good. I'd definitely try them again

    Good was very yummy. A bit overpriced, but very yummy. I do not like their signature sauce as much as Chick Fil A or Cane's. I got the medium, but I found that to be pretty mild. I don't have incredible tolerance for spice nor am I a wuss, so I would err on the side of "get spicier." The freshness of the food is comparable to the aforementioned chicken spots though. And it's a dry rub so it is a bit different! Also, for veg-heads, the cauliflower is really good! I swear at first I thought I accidentally was served chicken. The space is a little small for how popular it is. Also, the combo has no drink so watch out.

    Best darn hot chicken in all the land. I was happy with every bite. The drive thru was busy at it was 3pm if that says how sought after this chicken is! Get it!

    Dave's Hot Chicken ( Omaha, NE ) I got the medium spice, and I thought it was pretty good, but the spice is more of a rub than a sauce which, in my opinion, would be better as a sauce. I didn't think mine was too spicy, but my boyfriend got hot, and his meal was very spicy. A little pricy, but overall probably a 7.5 for me! The signature sauce reminds me of in-n-out a little and was so good. The space is also painted super cool which I loved! Would recommend trying! I just didn't think it was anything over the top, good if you like chicken with a dry rub but not my favorite. The workers were super nice and we had good service!

    Finally got a chance to try Dave's hot chicken late one weeknight and I was thoroughly impressed! I was afraid it was going to be insanely hot to I downgraded and only got my chicken medium and in the future I will be getting the hot. Their seasoning almost has a little sweetness to it. It's very good! The chicken was very juicy and tender! Next time I will be getting the sandwich though. I was aware the bread that came with the tenders was just plain white bread. Not toasted or anything. Very good pickles and solid fries. Their dipping sauce is alright. I already want to give it a second try!

They're perfectly cooked, with the char giving a nice Smokey flavor with the spicy and flavorful buffalo works; they work in harmony. Their ranch is nothing special but good, although the wings carry the weight on their own. They have a nice patio area right off of 60th and can hold a larger group of 10 or so. The inside is a bit small, still being able to sit groups of 6-8. They have TVs both inside and out, so you can watch sports and eat some great wings.

And if you know, you know--you have to order them charred. The extra flavor and texture take them to another level. I usually stick with the classic medium buffalo sauce, which has just the right amount of heat without overpowering the wing itself. One thing that surprised me the first time I visited was how good the cocktails are. Most people come for the wings, but don't sleep on the bar program. It's a great spot to grab a drink, catch a game, and enjoy some seriously solid food. Tracks has been an Omaha favorite for years, and after countless wing cravings, I can see why.

I noticed a lot of newer eateries and businesses in Aksarben since the last time I was there, so hopefully some of them stick around a while. Anyhoo, on to Crispy Burger! First off, the interior is bright and colorful, with a lot of orange, red, and then an accent wall of black and white geometric shapes. It's a super welcoming vibe! One thing that's kind of weird is that the building (and Yelp and Google) says Crispy Chicken, but all the wrappers and signs say "Crispy Burger" which was confusing. The smells inside when you walk in make your mouth water, so get ready to over order if it's your first time here (we definitely did!) They have a LOT of fried things, like fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, popcorn chicken, etc. So this definitely is not an every day place if you are looking for health food. We ordered the cheese sticks to start and they were enormous. Definitely shareable between a few people, as each cheese stick is like an appetizer in itself! I ordered the nuggets and fries, and they were really well breaded and pretty large. You can choose from about 1500 sauces for dipping (ok, maybe more like ten, but that's still a lot!) The fries were great too, that come as a side in your box. My husband had the bone in chicken wings combo, and he was very pleased with his choice. Gigantic wings, with fries, a biscuit, and mashed potatoes and gravy on the side. Now is Crispy Burger fine dining or somewhere you'd go on a date night? Definitely not. But it's nice, tasty food, for a pretty inexpensive price. So I would definitely recommend trying it out next time you're in the Aksarben area!

The nuggets reminded me of a similar fast food location with the Golden Arches logo. I honestly didn't mind because these had more flavor and seasonings within; same consistency of chicken within though. I can see myself coming back here to try some of their boba and rolled ice cream!

There seems to be a consistent communication problem when ordering, and it has resulted in repeated mistakes with my orders. Yesterday was by far the worst experience.

Although he removed the items, the total did not change, and my card was still charged the incorrect amount. He then closed the window and would not come back until I knocked on it again. When I tried to calmly explain that the total was still wrong, I was met with a very rude attitude. I told him I wanted to return the overpriced wings but keep the rest of my order. At that point, he began speaking negatively about me in Spanish to another employee. When I responded in Spanish, letting him know I understood what he was saying, he demanded that I return all of the food, saying it was "all or nothing." As I handed the food back, I accidentally bumped the bag on the counter. His behavior escalated. He threw my credit card back at me, hitting me and then it landed somewhere inside my car. It took a while for me to actually find my card. He continued yelling and cursing in Spanish and refused to process my refund, despite having part of my order back behind the window. He also threatened to call the police. I pulled forward to allow the drive through line to continue and went inside. At that point, he was actively calling the police and misrepresenting the situation by lying to dispatch. I told the staff that they either needed to give me my food back or process my refund since they had part of the order being held behind the counter. Eventually, he refunded my money, but continued throwing insults ant me in Spanish and stating that the police were coming "to take me away".
