Jay made my experience a 10/10 would highly recommend to come in! I wish I could give more than 5 stars for the exceptional one of a kind customer service.
The food was really good. It's pretty expensive but their slides are basically full sandwiches. there's nothing mini about 'em. I got one spicy and one mild, both very good! I'll probably stick with mild next time tho. I am picky about my fries and they had amazing fries. they were good even without the sauce. I love the extra pickles they added on the side too. I'll be back again and I'll probably bring ppl with me, it's so much food.
I drive out of my way to this location because of how great the service is. Nancy was my server last time I went and she made sure my order was perfect and was so kind throughout taking my order. Amazing service overall and the food is always the best quality and comes out fast. I can feel myself slowly becoming a regular lol.
Regina was amazing! Super energetic and provided excellent customer service. She made the whole experience even better. Definitely appreciate her positive vibe and helpful attitude!
Angie is honestly amazing at what she does. She’s super good at her job and always makes sure customers are taken care of. Anytime I’ve needed help, she’s been quick, friendly, and actually listens instead of just brushing things off. You can tell she really cares about people and takes pride in her work. Definitely the kind of leader you feel good dealing with.
The workers are great, friendly, and always very communicative with the customers. I’ve been coming here for almost a year now and i’ve never had a bad experience at all.
Came in as a new customer was helped by eddy and honestly his customer service was absolutely amazing definitely guided me through and made my experience a great one
We stopped by on a weekday afternoon. Service was quick and friendly. I ordered the Cauliflower slider with fries. Everything was delicious, I loved the kale slaw and Dave's sauce was amazing. We will definitely be coming back
Came here on a Sunday. Not a great deal of parking but people are moving in and out quickly. There’s a lot of space inside and outside to eat. It’s clean inside and quiet. Their bathrooms are clean too. Service was great 😊. They have a screen that lets you know when your food is ready, pretty helpful. I ordered 2 meals with 2 sliders, fries and mac, hot and medium in heat level. I also ordered the mini sliders in reaper 🔥 . Food was hot, chicken was delicious as always. Hot is pretty hot, but not unbearable, medium is just right for me. The reaper on the other hand, you better have some ice/milk on hand, because it’s NO JOKE. I love spicy and hot food, but it’ll make you cry. Only down side is the meals don’t come with a drink. I absolutely love their chicken and would recommend to everyone.
First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken. FANTASTIC! It quickly became my favorite chicken sandwich. It's pricey. It was $38 for 2 combos that each had 2 sliders. We should have gotten 1 and split it. What they call a slider is a full on chicken sandwich and too much to finish. The restaurant itself was clean but it's small inside and people kept rubbing past our table to get drinks. Worth it for that chicken, though!
