There was really no chicken in the dish. It was just a bunch of fried crispy things. I kept trying to find chicken and what I did chew on was not chicken. I truly tried to bite into something with chicken. But I had to spit it back out because I couldn't chew it up. I called the restaurant and spoke to the owner about it. She told me they used white chicken, I told her there was no chicken in this dish. She hung up on me.

I really wanted to love this place but it was a big let down…read more First, we were there on a Friday, just before what is likely a very busy time. We sat at the bar. The servers were there, obviously waiting for customers to start arriving, and they were all congregating at the end of the bar, chatting it up. It was super unprofessional and pretty annoying. We were glad when the food came out quickly so we could just eat and leave. To be honest, I don't recall what my husband ordered. I got the pork tenderloin. The tenderloin was very tough and had zero flavor. Like, I don't think they even put salt in the coating, let alone any other seasonings. This is Iowa, if you can't make anything else at all, you should at least have a decent pork tenderloin. This was our second time trying the place. Both instances were equally underwhelming. I wanted this to be our "go to" place but sadly we won't return.

Every single time we've been there, we wait a minimum of 10 minutes before we are offered drinks. Today we had to actually get up to find someone to give our drink order to! We are left waiting Every. Single. Time. Food is mediocre. The breakfast buffet is equal to the free continental breakfast at a hotel... You know the stuff that is microwaved & processed, not homemade. We are very forgiving on service as nobody is perfect & everyone has a bad day. The restaurant is clean. Today was the breaking point for us. We will go to Floyd or New Hampton for breakfast from now on. Dave's is definitely not worth my time or money.

Both of the waitresses were excellent and made in-depth conversation with each member of our large party. The pricing was fantastic and I had plenty of leftover funding for a massive tip. Jazzy was a loving soul who took care of each of us. Cindy indulged each of us with plenty of witty banter and left us all with a smile on our face. While my first trip to Dave's was very short, the memories I made will last a lifetime. Rest in peace Dave, we'll be back soon.

Sad considering it was a Friday night and they stay open till 2am. We wanted a snack after having a late lunch that day and struck out. The drinks were not bad. They do not have a full bar, drinks are limited to what sells. It was also very quiet. We were the biggest group with only 2 other groups there. Had a bunch of pool tables, darts, and a few arcade games. But no one was using any of them. Bartender was very attentive and helpful and even did table service.

Stopped into this small town BBQ restaurant/bar for a quick lunch. The menu was simple but covered…read moreeverything a place like this should have. The BBQ choice was brisket, pulled pork and ham. They were out of ham which was one of the two I wanted to try. I got the brisket sandwich with coleslaw instead of a combo plate. It was good meat on a toasted bun and the slaw was fresh. I tried the BBQ sauces provided, one spicy and one not and I didn't like either one. Not sure if they were homemade or just modified but I didn't care for them. The beef was very good though, tender and nicely smoked. With a good sauce choice it would get another star. Overall it was a good meal, nice waitstaff.

We were instantly greated with a friendly hello and smile. Service was fast as we were seated in a booth and were given our menus right away. Fresh salsa and hot chips came soon after as a complimentary side. I decided on a express chicken burrito and my other half decided on a chicken quesidilla. It seemed like it only took 5 min and our food was already served. Hot and fresh. My burrito was big. It was stuffed with chicken and rice and topped with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. There was a layer of sauce on top with a slight cumin flavor. The shredded chicken was moist and had a wonderful Mexican seasoning that enhanced every bite. It was perfect. My other half loved his quesidilla. It was simple but very tasty. No complaints. Again, service was super fast and friendly. I would definitely visit here again If I were passing through.
