    First time trying this place. Got the mild and medium sliders and they tasted the same. They do have an interesting taste not sure what it is the burnt flavor or the burnt spice flavor, not sure. The fries were good and the Dave's sauce. I would try it again. Different spice levels. It was a long wait. About 15 mins. I guess not too bad.

    Love the artwork

    Ok so i forgot food pica bc I mayyyy have been hungover oops Parking: easy to park since it is in a plaza Staff: super nice and helpful in picking out what we wanted on the menu Food: Chicken snadwich: got ours hot and was perfect and tender, juicy. Pickles with it are perfect. Didnt need the extra sauce it came with Chicken bites: also really tender. Flavors: not spicy, spicy, and honey hot. Not spicy was good for the kiddos and wasn't greasy tasting Spicy was maybe little toooo spicy where it stings your tongue but if you like that Hot honey: while good it lost its spicy due to the amount of honey on it. Prob would just stick to hot. Mac n cheese: creamy but has some type of smoky seasoning so if you arent into that just fyi Slaw really good and would get again! Fries right amount of crisp and seasoning All in all a good experience and great for my hangover

    I liked the food here! We got Dave's 3 which has both a chicken tender and slider with fries. I appreciate that they have an extensive scale for spice. I got the lite mild which was flavorful but not spicy and my dad got hot which he thought was fairly spicy so it's good for people with different tastes. The chicken tender is crispy and flavorful. I also liked the sauce that came with it. The slider was good- it has slaw, pickles, and sauce on it too. Fries are good and have a little seasoning on them. Portion size is generous. Service was good, they got everything right and the food was warm. A solid halal option.

    Let me start by saying I'm a HUGE fan of Dave's Hot Chicken--I've been to the Vegas locations many times and always had a great experience. This was my first time visiting a Phoenix location, and I could definitely tell a difference. The customer service was just okay. The cashier wasn't rude, but also didn't seem very welcoming or friendly. The restaurant was very clean! As always, the chicken itself was delicious. I order the Hot level, and the flavor never disappoints. The chicken portion was generous, but the fries seemed smaller than what I've received at other locations. The chicken slider also felt a bit rushed, with barely any coleslaw and not put together as neatly as I'm used to. Overall, I still love Dave's and will keep coming back for the flavor. I just wish this Phoenix spot kept up the same level of consistency and quality I've come to expect from the Vegas locations.

    I've seen so many people post on social media about how great this place is, blah blah blah. So I finally took the time to come check it out and I've never been more disappointed. One star is for the friendly service. The girl who helped me was super friendly and asked if I had ever been here before and I said no, so she did a little explanation and highlighted some things about Dave's. I placed my order and had a seat. There was a family sitting and a few other people that were waiting. They were relatively quick. When my number was up, the girl (different from the one who took my order) was also friendly and she asked if I wanted any additional sauce and anything else I needed. I ordered the #4 which is just one slider with fries for $9.99. I ordered my chicken in 'Hot' with no slaw. The second star is for the fact that it was hot. It had a nice kick to it, definitely not mild/medium like how some places tone it down. I enjoyed the flavor/spice. But that's where it ends. I waited and for my food supposedly being fresh, why was it soo LUKEWARM?!?! The fries and sandwich despite tasting fresh, had the warmth of sitting there for awhile. Both items were so small too! Like it wasn't a piece of chicken, it was basically a tender that had more bun than chicken. The fries were such a small portion! The fries would have been good if they were at a better temperature. They had a nice seasoning and crisp but were barely warm. Overall, not impressed. I really don't see why I would ever come back for mediocre lukewarm food.

    Came in for lunch on Friday afternoon. It wasn't busy which is good. We did have to wait some time for our food to come out but luckily for me, I had great company. The food was good . The restaurant was clean . You do need a code for the bathroom so make sure to ask the cashier before you head that way.

    This place is always good when it comes to a quick chicken craving, whether you'd like to eat sliders or tenders or even the loaded fries, right after ordering once food is ready. The fries are so crispy with the chicken being so juicy and well seasoned. Their shakes are always great. And they're always very efficient when it comes to placing order and getting it almost instantly even when the location is pretty busy orders tend to come out really quick. Today we were helped by Michael and he was a very kind guy very helpful as well as always asking to make sure we had everything we needed. Energy in this place is always a chill hangout spot with music playing and good energy between friends. Always a recommendation here, especially if you're looking for a late night eating.

    I stopped by today with my son to pick up some dinner for the family and we love this place! We were immediately greeted by the employees and the ambiance in here is awesome and colorful! The staff were very friendly! They have a good choice of options. I got the Daves #4 mild with mac and cheese and their mac is pretty darn good! It's very creamy and saucy which I love! My man got Daves #1 Hot with fries - my son got the Dave #1 as well he got mild with fries. We all ate all of ours and left no crumbs! It was sooo good! I ordered it togo and I totally forgot to take pictures before we all started eating when I got home. It smelt sooo good in the truck that I just had to eat it immediately when I got home! Next time I'll take pictures of the food!

    I was in the area and decided to try this spot for dinner. I'd heard good things and wasn't sure where the closest location is to me, but since I was across the street I stopped by. It didn't seem too busy with people but there were online orders being prepared as well. Spacious restaurant with lots of seating including outdoors and neat artwork/murals on the walls. I ordered at the counter with the cashier and was given a buzzer. It took about 15 minutes for my food to be ready and I was offered extra Dave's sauce and ketchup at the counter. I grabbed some ketchup packets and was on my way. The chicken tenders were delicious, the extra hot wasn't as spicy as I anticipated but still had good heat to it. The sliced bread was okay, I prefer no bread but it was good after I toasted it. Always enjoy having pickles and there were plentiful. I'm not a fan of the typical hot chicken sauce (usually some sort of aioli, thousand island) so I'll try some but it's not for me. I upgraded to cheese fries ($1.50) and they were good, but not worth the extra cost lol. Overall it was great! I like that they have small chicken bites as well as sliders, nice to have options.

    My family love this place and has been coming here to eat for a while. My daughter finally convinced me to try it and we went for dinner. I had the fried Cauliflower burger and added cheese. It was sooo delicious. I was very happy. It had cheese, slaw and pickles. I ordered it with no spice as I don't like spicy food. It was so good. The cauliflower had a nice crunch to it. I will definitely be back.

    I put in an order online for pickup. Ordering was easy and painless and the menu is simple. We ordered some sliders and Dave's bites to go. It was busy and chaotic during pickup. There is a sign that guides you where to stand for pickup orders but there was a huge line and no one checking in to see who was picking up for quite a bit. They seemed to be super short staffed but the employees were working really quickly and were friendly. Pickup was almost 30 minutes after stated time but the food was served hot. I would say the food was okay but nothing stood out as far as taste. I'd like to stop in again and try dining in next stop.

    Not bad taste at all. Tried the mild flavored bites for the first time. They do have a spicy kick to them but overall, flavors were quite nice. They are served with a slice of bread and pickles and there signature sauce on the side.

    We are fans. Enjoyed the tenders, chicken sandwiches, and fully loaded fries. They also do shakes. Late night hours too! On heat level, go higher than your usual.

I didn't even need hot sauce... although obviously I still used hot sauce because I believe in excess and poor decision making. The greens surprised me... sweeter and somehow creamier than what I'm used to, but honestly not creamy and decent. The slaw was solid too, also leaning a little sweet for my taste. The potato salad was decent too, just a smaller portion than I was expecting. Flavor-wise it was different from how I make mine since I lean more savory with mayo and onion, but clearly it wasn't a problem because I devoured the entire meal. Now for the comedy portion of the evening: delivery. I ordered through Yelp, which directed me to Gus's site, which routes through a third-party delivery service. I won't actually use delivery apps that require signups and accounts and seventeen forms of human surrender, so I felt like I was doing the "direct" route even though I know better. The ENTIRE reason I ordered delivery was because I wanted a drink that wasn't water from my sink. Driver arrives. Hands me one bag. Me: "And the drink?" Driver to passenger: "Babe, they didn't give you a drink?" And in that moment, as a former delivery driver myself, my soul briefly left my body because... ma'am... the order is literally visible to you. The drink is WRITTEN ON THE BAG. I almost gave an extra $5 cash tip too. Almost. BUT! and this is why Gus's still gets 5 stars, I called the restaurant and the guy who handled the situation was awesome. Kind, attentive, apologetic, immediately refunded the drink, and handled it professionally. Then I took my first bite of chicken and literally interrupted myself to say, "Okay but the food is phenomenal though." Because it was. He laughed, apologized again for the delivery issue, and said, "Hope to see you in." Yes. YES you will. Because from now on I will absolutely be eating this food the correct way: by going there myself like the universe intended. Third-party delivery chaos remains undefeated. I would absolutely destroy another plate while angrily sipping water, 1000%.

    Tried Fly Bye on Camelback and I'll just say it: this was a classic "great deal, a couple tweaks…read moreaway from greatness" situation. I called in my order at 11:20am and got quoted 25-30 minutes for the lunch special. It was ready right around that window, which immediately put me in a good mood because nothing ruins lunch faster than staring at a pickup counter like it owes you money. The guy behind the counter was friendly and even tossed in a sample of 'copy cane' sauce for me to try on my sandwich. I ordered the lunch special (pepperoni pizza slice + Caesar salad, no drink) and added the chicken sandwich with fries. (Fries were only $1 add on!) Starting with the chicken, flavor was solid. Chicken was seasoned and the hoagie was legit. But the lettuce comes ranch-tossed like it's training for a swimming event. It tastes good but if you wait too long to eat it, the bread starts turning into a sponge and the sandwich becomes more "salad in loaf form." The Cane's-clone sauce was 100% needed--once I added it, everything clicked. Now the fries were cooked well done, crispy, and exactly the texture I like. They were just a touch dry, so ketchup wasn't a suggestion--it was a requirement. With ketchup, they're great. The real value winner was the pizza + ceasar. The slice is big and absolutely worth the $10 on size alone. Also: A+ pepperoni choice. They use those small cupping pepperonis (Grimaldi's style) instead of the big greasy ones, and I respect that decision deeply. Only downside: the center was slightly undercooked--that gooey middle happened on a few bites, and I'm not a "wet pizza" person. The salad was fresh and the dressing had great flavor and depth, the croutons felt home made and the whole situation, even portion size, was enjoyable. Would I come back? Yeah. I'd give it another shot because the bones are good and the price is right. Next time I'm ordering the sandwich no tomato and no ranch-tossed lettuce, so I can control the sauce per bite instead of letting it control me. Also worth noting: I signed up for their rewards program and got $10 off, bringing my total to $15--which made this whole lunch feel like a small financial victory with gas at $5 a gallon!
