    Visited my hometown this summer and noticed this restaurant were another one used to be. Let's just say I had this almost everyday I was there! And just found out there's one here in Omaha too, which both good and dangerous for me!! Can quite remember which order this is but it was delicious. Hence why I had it almost everyday I was there!

    First time and I Ordered through Mobile App- food was prepped and packaged tightly and was ready by the time I got there. Quick pick up. Food was still fresh and sandwiches were juicy. We got the mild chicken sandwiches, Mac n cheese and side of fries with Dave's sauce. Gotta say 8/10, will come back!

    Actually a new and big fan of Dave's Hot Chicken! I went back twice in one week! As someone who absolutely HATES coleslaw I was scared to order the sliders as is. SO GLAD I did! It's just different. The first time I went I got the slider and tender combo (both spice level hot). The slider was SO GOOD that I was bummed I didn't get a second. The solo tender was good, but after the amazing slider, it felt like it was lacking. It was good...but boring in comparison (especially because I did NOT love the house sauce - I also absolutely hate thousand island dressing so...). The chicken was hot and juicy! The second time I went, I split the sliders (spice level hot) and a side of Mac and Cheese with my bf. The sandwich was delicious again. It's fresh, tangy, almost reminds me of like Asian-fusion chicken sandwich. The crisp cabbage, the sweeter sauce, and the spicy chicken. It was delicioussss again. The inside was clean, complete with colorful "graffiti" walls. The service was mediocre the first time I went - the cashier was semi-distracted with a friend. But the second time I went it was as expected. Nothing out of this world, nothing terrible. I wouldn't have mentioned anything about it because of how average it was, but that's what makes a well-rounded review, so I am :)

    I'm grateful that we have Nashville hot chicken, and I have eaten Dave's many times throughout the years, even back when they were getting there start in East Hollywood. This location is super clean, the food is always great, and I plan on eating here many times every year. Their staff is always great too!

    Tastes like FALAFEL! Tried this place today. Parking was tough, but I found a spot. Cashier was friendly, courteous, nice. Placed my order of a slider medium heat level, and a drink. In a bout 4 minutes, they called my number! First impression: the buns were cold and damp! Why do you do this, Dave's? These should be warm and toasted. The breading on the chicken is the dominant aspect, not the chicken. It tasted of cumin and moreover, like a falafel if you've had that. If you've had a falafel sandwich at King Falafel, it's a lot like that! The heat level (I chose medium) was ok. Kinda like Popeye's hot but slightly less. The drinks: They have that awesome ice! Loved it! They also have sweet green tea! Whoa! I tried it. Pretty good! Given the choice, I choose this place over Raising Cane's which has zero flavor.

    First and foremost, this is a new place. Give it a few weeks to work out the kinks. That said, I have tried the one in SLO and the new one in santa maria and the food is great. The big difference is that the SLO location has it down and consistent while SM still has work to do. The building itself is nice, no real complaints but parking in that whole area is a pain. Servers were friendly and they have a solid system going for orders. They did forget the sauce i paid for but small mistake. The fries are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and actually have flavor. Some other places have the blandest fries, non issue here. The chicken is cooked to temp and is juicy and tender, good size as well. The problem comes with the spice level. The medium in SLO is perfect, good kick but not burn your mouth hot. The one here is not spicy at all. Not sure what the issue is but the next step up (hot) is on the opposite spectrum. Hopefully they figure it out because it goes from nothing to really hot in one step. That said, the flavor is good. A little more slaw and daves sauce would be nice as well but overall it's good chicken. I highly recommend you trying but just know that there will be some things that are a work in progress. Also, the pricing is actually pretty good for the portion and flavor, there's another local place that is bland and tenders small as a pencil.

    The prices are amazing for how lovely and filling this burger alone was. I love that there is many spice levels for both those who are non and lovers to spice. The works were kind and they seemed to be all be friends so it gave a very friendly social environment.

But as of recently the drive thru window service is lacking. I have had a few times when I get home and all my items are not there but that happens in a few different restaurants. This particular time I returned to get the two brownies I paid for on the last trip, but did not get. I placed my order which was sent in wrong but the employee at the payment kiosk called in to correct it from spicy to not spicy chicken. She even had to explain to whomever "the same sandwich, just not spicy". Well, by the time I got to the window, the matter was still getting sorted out. So I sat there for about 4 minutes watching a lot of horsing around. One girl fixing her braid and applying lip gloss, two girls dressing one of the young men with a salty vest to go out to drive thru, another girl completely combing her fingers through another girl's hair to put it up in a clip. YOUR IN A KITCHEN FOR GOD SAKES. Finally they sent me to park because they were still sorting out my sandwich issue. WHERE IS THE MANAGER. These girls need to be trained better. There were a total of 5 employees in that area and just one focused on the job. I will be taking a break from them for a long while until they can get it together. At Jack in the box only one person is at the window and they get it all done without sending me parking.

Because of his surgery, he needed some help walking in and finding a seat. I wish I knew her name, but on 2/12/26 around 2:30 p.m., there was an incredible young woman working who went completely out of her way to show Oliver such kindness and support. She gifted him a box with a limited-edition cup and plushie. That small act of kindness meant more than she probably knows. It put the biggest smile on my sweet boy's face after a hard day. Moments like this are why we will always support this establishment. Going above and beyond for customers especially a child recovering from surgery is something you just don't see often anymore. We are so grateful.

I just love it when small businesses create something unique to stand out. Staff were friendly. They have seating both indoors and outdoors. Of course, you can also order take-out. We got our pizza with their "famous Twisted Sesame Crust" and did 1/2 (Chicken shawarma) & 1/2 Bravo Special. I am glad they allow halfsies on their gourmet pizza flavors. 1. Chicken Shawarma Pizza (4/5) The base sauce is a white garlic herb sauce that's herbally, savory, and light. It complimented the curry-shawarma seasoned chicken flavor well. The diced red onions and fresh tomatoes brings out a refreshing touch. 2. Bravo Special (4.5/5) Also has a white garlic herb base sauce, which reminds me of Greek Yogurt. It is topped with a decent amount of mozzarella, which made it super "cheesy" and packed with flavor from the Canadian bacon, Italian sausage, artichokes, chopped garlic & roma tomatoes. Overall, their pizzas were very enjoyable - not too oily, nicely baked and the pretzel twisted crust with sesame seeds was just toasted, doughy delightness. Check it out if you're in the area!!!!

I chose & went with "The Arugula Pizza" & WOW needless to say... it's worth writing a review about. The Arugula Pizza is my new fave pizza! If you're a foodie? Who also loves healthy organic options? This is the one for you! The first crust ever in my life to have sesame seeds sprinkled around the crust (not inside it tho so if no go 4 you no problem. Can order without) the arugula was fresh & beautiful, the fresh Roma tomatoes were amazing, everything was SO fresh. I can't tell you the last time I had more than 1 slice of pizza. Until I tried this one. Hahaha I think it must've been backwards day for me as I ate all but 1 slice Instead of the other way around. Definitely a MUST try! Beautiful presentation and extremely happy tastebuds! (Definitely go w the hot honey drizzle. Pairs SO well with this!)
