It was good but not great. Sliders are full size burger bun with a larger tender, slaw and pickles. Hot level is not hot at all. Cauliflower was good, it was good, but probably will not for somewhere else in the future.Vegetarian options: Fried cauliflower, not sure if it is fried separately.

Good hot chicken. The hot level spice is hot but didn't overtake the rest of the flavors.

Love the chicken. So good. The mild is not hot at all but if you get the hot. It's super spicy. Beware.

This is one place I end up craving almost every day, each time it hits the spot, they have about 8 different spice levels to chose from, I normally stick with medium, pricing is great, people there are really nice, and i’m never left hungry.Vegetarian options: They have impossible tenders, made from cauliflower, haven’t tried it yet but still looks good.

Good food, the person at the register named Alex was super helpful, and the inside of the store was really clean!

I'm not joking , this was so good, we didn't take a picture. But as a vegetarian, it's hard to find things I am able to eat with my family... i ordered the Cauliflower slider from here..... I'm not joking!! My meat eater carnivore husband said he is gonna start ordering this on his own! The cauliflower, like others... wasn't soggy... didn't taste like breading and oil.... It legit tasted light &' airy &' flavorful! We fully enjoyed this .. we got the slider and bites.. will order again definitely! Don't change the recipe! This location has got it together! Bravo!

The outside seating area is filthy, condoms laying out and tables gross. The inside wasn't great wait her with pickles on floor and grease all over tables and chairs. Sucks because the food was delicious.

The lady was super nice. Food was really good. That being said the reaper is a little excessive. Pure spice no flavor. The extra hot was really good. The mac and cheese was really cheesy and thick. 10/10Vegetarian options: They have cauliflower chicken

If you are epileptic do not go here. There is a flashing yellow and red light going 50 beats per minute. I could not even enter the store and there is no phone being answered. I could not order the food. Please fix or unplug your light so I can take this bad review down.

Tried Dave's at the suggestion of friends who said it was better than another favorites local chicken spot. My son had the slider/chicken tender combo #3 and I just had a single slider. You can get it with or without cheese so we went with cheese at the suggestion of the cashier. We ordered it medium spice and it was perfect. Not scorching by any means but a good heat if you like spicy. The fries have a Cajun seasoning and were a nice change. The chicken tender has a LOT of Cajun seasoning and by itself was a bit overwhelming. It was much better on the slider with the kale slaw. The bun was also delicious and soft. The sauce that comes with it was rather bland and just tasted like mayo, we didn't eat it. The inside of the restaurant is small and brightly painted which is cute. Several teens were there hanging out after school. Overall it was good, and I'm glad we tried it, but I'm not eager to return and will still frequent my other favorite chicken strip spot. Also, prompting for a tip when checking out at a fully self service restaurant is a major negative in my book.
