Small Small Top Loaded Fries
Melody D.

Dave's is awesome!! Great place to have a quick lunch or order catering for a large staff. Their sandwiches with the Medium to Hot spices are always a hit! Staff are always super friendly and will usually load your to go bags with a bunch of their signature sauce packets. Their Dave's sauce is definitely one of the better ones out of all of the hot chicken establishments.

Dave's hot chicken is pretty decent. This is the second location I have been to-and the chicken and flavor is pretty consistent between the two chains I have visited. I came here for a class group dinner, and I ordered the 2 slider combo- one medium and one mild. The sliders come with a huge tender that is extremely juicy and well flavored. There are a few slices of thick juicy pickles on each slider that help to cut against the oil and heaviness of the meal. Honestly, the spice level could have been kicked up a notch, but maybe that was my fault for being afraid to go higher than a medium. The crinkle fries that pair with each meal are perfectly crisped and dip well in the signature Dave's sauce. I really like how you can also ask for extra Dave's sauce at the front and they give you this big packet of the delicious condiment. This location had a very clean interior and the service was friendly and nice.

Well having tried hot chicken in Nashville, I was looking for a hot chicken fix and Dave's came up on the Yelp radar. It is located in a relatively new strip with plenty of parking. We were greeted cheerfully by January. It is a walk up counter. The menu is small but it is great that they focus on their primary item Hot Chicken. So there are strip baskets, slider strip sandwiches and fries topped with Dave's hot chicken and their signature sauce. I went with the strip combo which consisted of two enormous hot chicken strips that brought the heat. There are different heat scales and the hot was the 3rd hottest you can get. The tender is rub centric and is not saucy. It does come with 2 slices of bread and pickles. I added cheese to the crinkle cut fries. Everything was delicious! My only complaint keeping Dave's from 5 stars is you are prompted to tip at the transaction. Sorry cashiers and kitchen staff are paid by the hour and not at a waitstaff wage so they are doing their job and no tip is needed lol. Overall would I come here again? By all means Yes, the food is pretty darn good. And the atmosphere is great and clean.

Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries

Why 3 stars? Because the fries were good, but the chicken was just fine. --- --- --- I headed down to League City to hang out with some family for an afternoon and asked my brother to choose a place where I should pick up food from. He mentioned Dave's, but I was skeptical given the 3.2 star rating. I sent him a couple of local alternative places I'd wanted to try, but let the decision ultimately in his hands. He said Dave's, final answer. So it was on. I ordered a chicken tender basket with the most mild spice. The result? To be really honest, it was not a very memorable meal. I would say that I easily prefer the chicken from Cane's to Dave's. I really thought the fries were well done, but the chicken was a disappointment. They even have a similar sauce to Cane's, but I think Cane's is better there too. My brother insisted the chicken sandwich is the better way to go, so I was offered a bite of that. Was it better? Yes. Was it good enough for me to feel the need to go back to Dave's? No. I did enjoy my slushie drink, though!

More Foodah!

Once again, if you haven't tried this joint yet well you're missing out. Service is always so friendly, they always ask if this is your first time here and the walls at graffitied to the max. A small business who went mainstream with their generous portions and tasty grub. Get the works, add the honey and you got yourself a cheesy and sticky smile. Refillable sodas which you'll need because it can get spicy. But don't worry, there's weanie options. Tried the loaded fries today, glad I got the small. The large at 15.99 would suffice as a meal for two. Bathrooms were clean, which you will need to use because this is not a knife and fork place, they have them but trust me you'll want to lick those fingers.

The wait was long to order, and they don't really have many options. The food is okay, but I don't think it's worth the hype. The ambience of the place is nice, I just wish the food was a bit better.

Lite Mild and hot chicken sandwich, loaded fries, mac and cheese, strawberry lemonade slush, coke, honey sauce, dave's sauce

I got the mild chicken sandwich, mac and cheese, and loaded fries. The Dave's sauce was a cherry on top, complimenting the food very well along with the strawberry lemonade slushy. The strawberry lemonade slushy was a good balance of sweet and sour. The location is a tad bit better than the one downtown, with spacious dining and lots of parking. Overall a good experience.

My sister and I treated our mom here for mother's day. We knew the wait would be long so we were…read moreprepared. I joined the wait line at 9:15 and we didn't get seated till 11. I called a few days before to ask and the lady was nice enough to let me know when to get on the wait list for the best possible outcome of being seated when we got there. We got there about 30 minutes before we were seated so it wasn't too bad. Remember it was a holiday and brunch is popular for mother's day. The inside is so cute and the bakery food looked so good. The hostess and server we got were so nice. I got the Brisket Benny with a side of fruit. The brisket was sooo tender and flavorful. The biscuit it was on was yummy too. My mom got the Italian Omelet with a side of cheese grits. She didn't like that the spinach still had the stems but other than that it was very good and the cheese grits were seasoned nicely. We brought them home and my 10 month old LOVED them. My sister had the bacon egg and cheese croissant with a side of potatoes and we all shared the waffle. My sister doesn't drink but she got a sprite with pineapple juice and she loved it. My mom got the bloody marry. She loved it. I'm not a fan of tomato juice BUT I'd definitely get one next time I go. I got an iced latte and added caramel sauce and it was perfect. It was definitely a good experience and I am looking forward to going again but on a non holiday this time.

Service was attentive. There are plenty of tables. The restaurant was clean…read more This is my type of breakfast. Bonus points if I can get French fries instead of breakfast potatoes. The whole meal was solid. The biscuit wasn't too dry and the bacon was thick and crispy. Would come back!

Been a long time customer of the Texas City location near my house. Found myself in the Webster…read morearea for work, and figured I'd give this location a shot. Sub was good, not as great as the Texas city location, but still a quality sub. The issue was the service. Never have I ever experienced such rudeness from staff. Walking in (again, for the first time) I am greeted with a "what do you want" yell. I thought he was joking or messing around at first, but no, dude was serious. I give my order and try to pay. Another yell from him "you pay after you eat" ok, that works, too. All the while, the two other guys on duty are groaning about not having enough time to prepare for the day, complaining about customers on Saturdays, and more. I'm all for hole in the wall, simple no frills dining, but this place had an overall terrible, terrible vibe. I finish eating and go to pay. Guy barks orders at me on how to tap my card. I try different attempts, finally the card reader shows an error. Dude yells at me "LISTEN, OR THAT WILL HAPPEN". Turns out, his WiFi network wasn't on the whole time. Upon discovering this, in his defense he did apologize - but cmon dude. Shouldn't ever treat a customer like that. I slide my card and it works first try, after he turned the WiFi network on. I bumped my tip down from 22% to 18% and walked out. As I exit, I hear grumbles of complaints coming from the dude. Serious disappointment here. Never returning. I hate for one location to taint the other, but I can't say this makes me want to revisit my beloved Texas city location by my house any more, either.

This was our first time visiting this establishment. 10 out of a 10 highly recommend! When you walk…read morein you order at the counter and pay at the register when you are finished eating like a normal restaurant. Anyhow, we walked in and were warmly greeted by the guys behind the counter. You can dine in or carry out, we dined in. I told them it was our first time there and he recommended my husband or I get the Italian sub. I had already decided that was the one I was going to get before entering anyways so that's what I went with & my husband got the cheese steak. After ordering we picked out drinks out of the cooler and a bag of chips to split. They offer Snapple, Gatorade, water, and a variety of sodas. Our sandwiches were delivered to our table within about 2-3 minutes of ordering. They were so good, I didn't think to take pictures but would highly recommend both. The entire vibe in the store feels like you're at a family members house. If you enjoy a good sub or sandwich give this place a shot, they are affordable and welcoming but most importantly delicious!
