Bartender is talented and quick. He knows his customers and his attention is always focused on the drink he's making and the next customer. Great service and he has a great memory too. Pizza is decent here, I'd come back again. Fries are good and chicken tenders/wings are typical bar grub. Beers are relatively low priced, I think it was about $4 for a draft coors light. The bar feels like someone's backyard garage, kind of a small space but also kinda "homey". read more

I want to be clear that this is coming from a place of honesty, not hostility. My wife and I were genuinely looking forward to the experience. I ordered the $21 meat lovers omelette, and I was honestly surprised by what was served. For that price point, I expected a substantial, well executed dish. Instead, the omelette was relatively small, the sausage and ham inside were cold, and the eggs were cooked to the point that they resembled an overdone scramble more than a folded omelette. At that price, that felt difficult to justify. Additionally, there was no pricing listed on the menu for a side of bacon. Being charged $7 for 4 pieces of thin bacon without any prior indication of cost felt uncomfortable and unexpected. Transparency in pricing matters, especially at those rates. My wife ordered a scramble, and unfortunately, it was presented as an open faced mound of eggs placed on top of meat, cheese, and what were labeled as home fries. The potatoes were deep fried and did not resemble home fries in texture or preparation. Presentation aside, the overall execution did not reflect the quality we anticipated. I say all of this respectfully, but firmly: based on this experience, there is not a realistic possibility that we would return. When a restaurant displays a food rating publicly, customers naturally assume a certain standard. After our breakfast this morning, I can understand how that rating may have been earned. I hope this feedback is received in the constructive spirit it's intended. We believe restaurants deserve the opportunity to hear honest experiences directly. Wishing you the best moving forward. read more

This is a classic old school diner and we love them so I was excited to order chicken fried steak. What I got was a steak cooked on the grill with onions piled on top. It was just ok and the service was good but NOT what I ordered. Minor issue. Hahaha. We were guests of a relative so I didn't make a fuss. They should Google chicken fried steak. Below is what I expected from their menu..... read more

On occasion, I get attitude from some saying my reviews are too harsh. What they are is honest and to quote an adage. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen and that is fitting since at least 95% of my reviews are food based. I was headed to Tacoma and decided to give these guys a second chance as I do with many spots. I was nervous and anxious at the same time. Nervous because I was hungry and didn't want to be disappointed and anxious for the same reason. That place was fairly empty as you would expect for a Wednesday morning. I knew I would be critical of this place, but they earned that skepticism from my initial encounter. Service was pretty quick this time and my server was accommodating as I took elements from two menu items to craft my own. This time I had the Southern Breakfast, but instead of grits, I had hash-browns. The core of the meal is two hot links and two eggs. I was impressed, many places make a mess of hotlinks, they either split them in half, which I hate, if they were intended to be split, the maker would make them that way. Also, many pass off a spicy hotdog as a hot link and that is like passing off Dijon as Chinese mustard. Just not the same thing. The hotlinks had a crust on them, that was good, I assumed they deep fry them to get that texture. It's odd, but it worked. The hash-browns were not as good as last time, but again, the service was flawless and the food overall was good. After my last experience , I can't go any higher than 3 stars, today overall was about 3.5 star, which I might have normally tipped to 4, but based on history and the fact that I think prices are about 10%-15% too high for this location, 3 stars is generous and they should seriously be grateful that anyone would return after the initial experience I had. Can't say I'm in a rush to return, but I wouldn't steer anyone away from here. You kinda have to be a local, because it's 10 minutes from the freeway, but you most likely won't regret the trip. read more

Dave's is a great spot loved by all the locals! Everything I've eaten, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, is delicious and they serve some hefty portions! Family friendly environment with a bar in the back for those who need a little extra something! Drinks are always to my liking (strong) and the staff is always friendly and accommodating! If you're a local, you'll more than likely see someone you know every time you visit! It just goes to show that Dave's is a valued spot in Milton that does an amazing job of serving their community! read more

Weird experience. Had heard good things about their pizza so gave it a try today. Ordered our pizza and the waiter came back twice to reassure our pizza would be ready soon because it was taking a long time. The third time he came to our table he said "You're not going to like what I'm going to tell you. They messed up your pizza and have to start over, do you want to wait". The cook then yelled something from the kitchen, so the waiter leaves and comes back with our pizza. "Guess its okay" making us wonder what happened in the kitchen. Pizza looks fine except for one slice missing all its toppings and dents in the cheese where the toppings once were. No explanation and no discount. The undamaged pizza was good but fearing the empty slice was rescued from the floor we avoided it. We're not coming back Dave. read more

I'm glad I decided to explore my town more, stumbled upon this this! I decided to go in the morning so the place was a little empty but I could still hear laughter from the regulars which was nice. My partner ordered a seafood pasta which was okay in my opinion, the portion was there and the presentation but was definitely missing flavors. The burgers on the other hand was amazing, they were huge and wasn't dry to taste. Definitely a must check out place and hopefully I can try their other menus read more

The service here is terrible. And not just a one time experience, which is always forgivable. The issues range from...LONG waits for breakfast. The toast you ordered with your meal comes when you are done and ready to pay. Last night, my husband wanted to go there for a burger dip. We showed up around 5 pm. There was a large party in the back- some kind of celebration. No problem! They had already received their food. We ordered and proceeded to wait for our dinner. After about 25minutes, the waitress came over and said the chef was running behind because of a big party. No problem! It will be soon tho, right? She assured us it would be. 25 minutes later, I look over at the kitchen and the chef is NOT there. It looked like the kitchen was closed. My husband walked up and asked the waitress if he had even started to cook our meal/ she said no. We left. We will not be back. Which is a shame, because the place has potential to be great! But, don't bother- you will be greatly disappointed as we were. Again. read more

Dave's has gone downhill. Ridiculous you have to pay $2.00 extra for try tots instead of fries when they are the same price on the menu. I asked for mayo on my italian sub instead of italian dressing but got it anyway and no mayo. Not worth it to send it back MY husband got fish and chips. He liked his lunch. He had 2 beers and I had iced tea and it was $50.00 before tip. read more

I have been a regular here since 2014. Lots has changed over the years. This place survived the pandemic and used the opportunity to make some upgrades to the bar and restaurant. It's a little classier now but hasn't lost that dive appeal. No more live music, the stage is gone. Karaoke is now on Saturday nights from 9pm to 1am. read more

Sign outside says diner! There is nothing diner about this place, showed up at 8:50 pm was told the kitchen was closed but i could order a calzone. For 18 dollars i got a pre-made calzone that was cold. I am used to better quality from restaurants no more matter where they are. I will cross daves restaurant off my list. I do not like restaurants where the chef is a microwave. Owner should feel very embarassed!! read more

There pizza here are very good. I also really enjoyed my Ruben sandwich. The bartender was very friendly. I was very surprised she didn't have a Attitude when a couple of guys came in and started Demanding Demanding they get their stuff now and didn't have time to wait for anybody else. She was very calm and told them that she with them. When she was done with the customer she was waiting on. That she would be right there. When she got to them. They were loud and she got them to lower their voices. read more

My wife and I stopped into Dave's for breakfast on our way to Long Beach. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Dave's is a diner so expectations should be as such. One seats themselves here. My wife and I opted to sit in the lounge. The atmosphere is casual and laid back. Dave's offers a full bar. There are TVs scattered throughout. My wife and I slurped on a couple Red Beers with Coors Light for $3.50 while looking over the menu. Dave's offered a few different choices for the "red" in our beers. I chose Bloody Mary mix while my wife chose tomato juice. I love options. For our breakfast, we shared the Country Fried Chicken and Eggs for $10.99: Breaded and battered chicken breast covered in sausage gravy, eggs (we chose scrambled), hash-browns and toast (we chose an English muffin). Our breakfast meal was hearty and tasty. Ketchup and Tabasco were delivered to our table without having to be requested. We both left satisfied and ready to take on the day. Dave's offers an impressive selection of breakfast choices, large portions and inexpensive prices. Dave's knows how to do breakfast. Our server was friendly and efficient. Thank you Dave's for fueling us up with a stick-to-your-ribs breakfast. read more

Best crispy chicken sandwich ever. Just enough heat to bring out the flavors, thick slice of fresh onion, thick slices of fresh, firm, ripe tomatoes and the cherry cream cheese added subtle sweetness. Brilliant! My husband had the jalapeño dog with fries. He enjoyed the good heat and we both enjoyed the crispy hot fries. I love this old place! Very clean and the waitresses were both super nice. A great find!
