I have had Daves Hot Chicken once before when they first opened in Laveen and I thought it was…read moregood, but I am not a huge chicken sandwich fan. I never got the allure or cult status of places like Chik Fil A, Popeyes, or Raising Canes. Canes sauce is good but it kinda overwhelms the ok chicken. What I do like about Daves is that it is actually Hot chicken. Their reaper sauce which deserves a receipt signed waiver is crazy hot. One of my kids got it and he said "its ok, not super hot" cause he is nuts and doesn't recognize you can't eat lava which would be the only hotter option. He also practically drinks Da Bomb from Hot Ones and that is just Cray Cray. I opted for the Extra Hot on my sandwitch endeavor and did the same for a the Chicken bites which was $8 for a 10 Piece with bread, pickles and sauce. Not to shabby for the quality of the food. The Daves sauce is great and their ranch is so so, something about packaged ranch is never great compared to a pub ho made ranch. The chicken is crispy when fresh and has a slight sweet flavor with some good heat that adds up the more you eat. I will regret it later. The pickles are crisp and tangy and add a good means to cut the fat, especially when added to the bread with a chicken bit dipped in Daves sauce. The Service has been great both times an they really make it feel like more of a sit down experience than brushing you off as some fast foodie. I really like the way they decorate the building with some interesting art and the inside carries that over with an inviting seating area for great fast food ambiance if you are going to eat in, which I likely wont do as it is generally busy and close quarters for my claustraphobic brain. I would recommend the reaper sauce if you want an adventure as it is tasty but deadly . I dont like fast food in general as I get older, but this is a great option to feed some fried hot chicken craving even if you have to deal with some self loathing on the toilet later.

It is honestly really hot chicken so you've got to know that going in we have gotten it medium in the past and that was too hot for our liking, mild still has all the flavor but minimal heat!!

I ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Veggie bowl, and my husband ordered the Chicken and Steak bowl. Both were really good. You can choose white or brown rice or a mixture of both and can customize your bowl by adding or taking out ingredients. We also tried their regular dumplings and the new Chili crunch ones. Both were so good! We also ordered the kimchi edamame, and it was good, but you don't get much for the price, and it's just the edamame. There's no actual kimchi in it, just a kimchi sauce. The store looked super clean, and the service was great! We will definitely be back.

WABA Grill was a nice little stop when I was craving something flavorful. I ordered the five-piece…read moredumplings, which came with a side of salsa, and that salsa definitely had a kick! It had a slightly sweet flavor, but the heat really followed through. The dumplings themselves were surprisingly good--plump, juicy, and nicely seasoned with plenty of flavor in every bite. I also ordered the steak bowl with WABA sauce, and flavor-wise, it was really good. The sauce paired nicely with the steak and the rest of the bowl, and there's definitely a lot to like about the overall combination. My only real issue was the texture of the steak. There were quite a few large pieces of gristle, nerves, and tendon throughout, and having to chew through that in several bites took away from the experience. The flavor is there, but the steak could definitely benefit from being trimmed better. Overall, the flavors were solid, the dumplings were a standout.

This is the second Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shop location I've tried in Arizona. The other was in Scottsdale, where they have two locations. They are growing in the Phoenix area and this seems to be a fairly new location. I tried the Cali Tuna sandwich. I decided to pick and choose my toppings, since I did not want onions or tomatoes. They do have a garlic sauce option, which sounds intriguing. I might try that on the side next time. Their friendly and knowledgeable staff made sure to describe all of the available options for toppings and cheeses. I knew that I wanted the Dutch Crunch bread. It's a standard for me whenever I go to a Mr. Pickle's. I would recommend that anyone give it a try, unless you're not a fan of crusty bread. My sandwich was huge! I took half home to eat for dinner. I really liked the strawberry watermelon lemonade. It was flavorful and refreshing. I'm told that they have a new app coming out soon!

On previous occasions like I've spoken to them and I'm like hey if I replace an ingredient, what can I replace it for and they told me if you replace cheese you can replace it for a premium ingredient, which is avocado, if you replaced tortilla strips you can replace tortilla strips for a vegetable (cucumber) because tortilla strips is not a premium ingredient. I am very disappointed . They need to repeat the order back to us and make it clear if they are charging for extra ingredients. They did not give me the correct order.

Unfortunately, this visit was a bit of a mixed bag. The orange chicken and pork egg roll were the misses for me. Both lacked the flavor I was hoping for, and the orange chicken especially felt like it needed a little more seasoning and that sweet, tangy punch that makes it so craveable. The egg roll was also pretty underwhelming. The fried rice and egg drop soup were definitely the highlights! The fried rice had a nice savory flavor and paired well with the meal, while the egg drop soup was warm, comforting, and hit the spot. Overall, I appreciate the quick takeout service, but this particular order was a little hit-or-miss. I'd come back and give them another try, especially for the fried rice and soup, but I'd probably skip the orange chicken and egg roll next time.

The only thing negative I have to say about the In-N-Out chain is to how they prepare their Animal style fries... fresh potatoes fried, but then microwaved to melt the cheese is the reason why the potatoes immediately lose their crunch. So do yourself a favor and order normal fries and just get an extra side of spread because it's not worth it to lose out on the quality french fry. Order the onions EVERY WAY and you'll have three different types and put that extra cheese on there for a patty melt like type dream. Go big or go home, add those chopped chilies. Glory be to God, follow the yellow brick arrow and click your red heels three times.. while the line may be long, it is no different than the time you waste at Chick-fil-A or standing in line at the grocery store while you have to watch everyone else ring up their own groceries before you have an opportunity to play cashier yourself. Stop complaining, eat the bread and order the 3x3. If you are not burning carbs, order it protein style. The staff is usually pretty well put together, and that line never stops moving. You will never change my mind about the subject. Stay healthy kids.

Double lane drive through. Double the fun.

According to her, the pajamas I was wearing were not considered "real pajamas," even though I had read the posted dress code guidelines and my outfit clearly met the requirements. Was I going to argue with her in front of families and children over four dollars? Of course not. But I do hope she is spoken to about customer service. This place promotes itself as a neighborly, community-focused establishment, and unfortunately, her behavior completely removed the sense of community from this Zoyo experience. I do want to highlight that the employee helping us was absolutely amazing kind, welcoming, and a sweetheart. She was willing to apply the discount until the manager stepped in and made her remove it. There were other children wearing pajamas very similar to mine, and I sincerely hope their fun wasn't taken away as well, because Pajama Night is supposed to be a fun Wednesday evening event for families and kids. If you look at my Yelp history, I'm not someone who enjoys leaving negative reviews. I'm a very understanding person. However, when I feel that a company or someone representing it creates a genuine concern in terms of customer experience, I believe it's important to bring it to light
