The chicken tenders came out of this world ! A+ ! Today I…read moremade an online order and after submitting the order I realized that nowhere I was asked what level of Spiciness I want and when tried calling them on the phone multiple times no one answered and there was no way to contact them online either . However when I arrived to pick up my order , I told them and they said they made it " No spice" I said I want it medium Spicey and I believe the manager immediately told me " no problem "! He brought another box with medium Spicey chicken tenders within 2 minutes . So cudos to the manager or whoever the nice fellow was that fixed the problem immediately, without any argument. THANK YOU !! I would suggest that there will be an option to specify spiciness level and not allow to send the order until one makes a choice so this issue won't repeat . EXCELLENT JOB!!!

Oh well. Third time was NOT the charm. If you saw my previous review of Dave's, you know I had a…read morebit of a love affair going on with this place. So, love woke me up today, and I decided that, despite changing my eating habits prior to my summer beach trip... I had to go to Dave's. Beach be damned. I needed Dave's. I mean, if you're going to break your diet, this is the only place to do it. I decided to go off script and try something different. Those little chicken bites looked appetizing and the new giant mozzarella stick was interesting. I ordered the chicken bites with the hot honey sauce... And one mozzarella thing with the very spicy sauce/flavor... The first thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that, right as I was starting to pay, the cashier decided to hit me with a 30 second diatribe about the tip button on the POS system. I just read an article about how tipping has gotten out of control in America. We used to tip for exceptional service. Now we tip because we breathe. I always overtip for exceptional service. Believe it or not, I am hypersensitive about being an African-American and how the entire race might be viewed if I don't tip well. So I tip well. But I don't like having to tip for a fast food meal. It's the same thing at Starbucks. If I pay $10 for a cup of coffee, I shouldn't have to pay another two dollars to the person who just happened to take my order. Let's be real, they don't even take our credit cards and swipe them anymore. We are doing all the work at the counter, so why tip them. When the guy at the counter told me that there was a tip option, and then explained in detail who the tip went to at Dave's.... I felt like I was being forced to throw extra money on what was already a $21 meal. I bought what amounted to some chicken nuggets, with a handful of fries, and a giant mozzarella stick. And a Coke. It was almost $22. That same meal would've cost 11 not too long ago. And now, you're trying to guilt me into adding a tip of 20%. That would take the bill up to $26 for some fricking chicken nuggets. Insane. So, I only gave a dollar as a tip, which only seemed to irritate the cashier. Now, on to the food. In my previous two trips, the chicken seemed premium. It was great quality, and the meals were wonderful. Today, those chicken nuggets seemed like second rate chicken. I had to spit one of them out because inside was fatty. The rest of them were stringy. I was five nuggets in before I found one that actually had the type of consistency that I would expect from eating chicken. It was pretty gross. My fries were not hot. I was honestly sitting there, wondering if they served me tepid fries because I did not tip big. The mozzarella stick was delicious though. I am admitting that I will go back just for that in the future. And the drinks are always good. They have the perfect ratio of syrup to carbonation. So, to sum it up. I got accosted by the tip police for a take out meal...the meal itself looked great when they handed it to me, but it was bad in two of three areas....bad chicken consistency and fries that died in the window. Thank goodness this was my third trip, so I will try them again. I just won't be getting those second rate chicken bites. And next time I'm not tipping a penny. Come on, Dave.

Please Ignore The Following Reviews:…read more 1. People who have not tried the food. The chicken is not dried out, it is crispy, savory, and delicious. The sides are all excellent. If you arrived late or near closing time, I suggest you come around lunch time. Leaving a negative review because you couldn't or wouldn't eat here is problematic to places that work hard to put out a quality product. 2. People who don't enjoy chicken. Yes, people have told me they don't like Brown's because they don't eat meat. Great. 3. People disgusted with its location. Yes, it's in a gas station. That is part of this location's appeal; it's a genuine hole in the wall. The food tastes great and they wouldn't be allowed to operate if they were dirty, which, in my opinion, they aren't. 4. People irritated at how a manager is speaking to a customer. I get it, this can irritate me, too. But 1 star? Get out of town. I've been going here for years, and the old and new management has been nothing but kind to the people I've seen order. This, along with Wayside Chicken and Mel's Cafe, is some of the absolute best fried chicken in Charlottesville. Best of all, it's affordable! Please support this place, spread the word, and learn what the hype it all about.

Hands down, the best I've ever had. Everything was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and had that homemade touch that you just don't get everywhere. I told the owner right then and there I'd leave a review because the service was just as good as the food. We ended up talking for close to an hour -- he was genuinely kind, super humble, and clearly cares about both the food he makes and the people who walk through his door. It felt less like a restaurant visit and more like catching up with an old friend. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. This place is the real deal -- good people, great food, and an experience worth sharing.

First timer and was neither impressed nor disappointed…read more I ordered by drive thru as I was in a rush. I wasn't familiar with the menu so I ordered a basic 6 piece chicken nugget/tender box with fries and a biscuit. The chicken was ok. It seemed overcooked. The fries were surprisingly fresh. The biscuit still lags behind Popeyes or McDonald's - gold standards for tasty but extremely unhealthy biscuits. Overall a meh fast food stop. I didn't get sick so that's a plus.

The batter really didnt have much personality and the bread was dry. I did actually enjoy the greens so that was probably the only saving grace.

If you are expecting something special or legit southern fried chicken, this aint it.

I didn't realize how hungry I was until I found myself in this area. My body was screaming for protein and I thought chicken tenders would hit the spot. I'm really happy I found Deen's Bistro. I came around 4pm so was the only customer there at the time. It was nice to see that it was a halal spot. I was immediately welcomed and was able to place my order quickly with the cashier. It took about a little over 10 minutes for my chicken tenders to come out. It was nice to learn that they were fresh and made from scratch. There was seating inside, but I opted for take out. I had to wait a bit to eat since they were freshly made and hot. The spices were pretty nice on the tenders. Overall, I'd give the tenders a 3.5, could be because I went during an off hour. They also gave me a huge generous serving of some sauce. Glad I could grab some protein.
