It's seasoned well and crispy but fresh tasting and so good. It's not spicy, just has a great flavor. The tartar sauce is a bit sweet and I like it! The surprising star is the FRIES - they are crispy and tasty - some of the best around!!! LOVE THEM. The Chicken Wings are also tasty - so much meat on them. They rival most wing places around here and are so good. You can dip them in the sauces they provide - mild or hot - or ask for something else. They are very accommodating. I also like how they do NOT use styrofoam containers for their food - they put it in bags which helps keep it hot still and crispy!!! Nothing gets soggy. There was a Groupon deal online recently and I tried that and used it and it was easy. So TRY THEM OUT!!!!!!! Oh - the shrimp weren't my favorite. I've had much better. Even at fast food joints. But the other food makes up for it. I would also like to just grab some fries next time. I wish they would have fried okra - feel like that would go well there. OH - and the service has been wonderful! A small place - near the Antique Mall Shopping Area. It's a bit hidden, but if you are at the Antique Mall - just look across the parking lot and you will find it!

There were a lot of staff there, so it was so annoying that they were just finding ways to stall until the shift change at 4... it was just a tiny bag with 2 chicken tenders in it! The ladies in front of me also had problems with their order and were still waiting when I left. :(

The chicken pieces were large, and the meal was definitely filling. The chicken had a thick, crispy coating that gave it a really satisfying crunch without completely overwhelming the meat. The seasoning was probably my favorite part. It had that Nashville hot chicken-style combination of savory, smoky, salty, and spicy flavors. The spice wasn't just sitting on top of the chicken either--it was incorporated into the overall flavor. Dave's offers several heat levels, so you can choose how adventurous you want to be.

She bagged up my food and I look in the kitchen. The cook still had his blue gloves on and stuffed some French fries into his mouth then proceeded to make an order. Oh my God!
