    Dave's #1 with 2 Tenders and Fries
    Ron R.

    Not bad, not bad at all. I've gone to this Dave's location at least four times now, and I'd say things are pretty consistent. Here's what's hot about Dave's: * Parking * If you're familiar with this shopping area, you'll know that this parking lot can be a nightmare at times. During lunch, not so bad. Luckily they are right next to an open lot, so parking shouldn't be an issue. * Ordering, Service, and Dining-in * Only one time out of the four visits have I had a bad experience while ordering. But the last time was with Ash, who identified himself, and helped out while placing my order. He also buzzed the pager and asked if I needed anything else. Thanks Ash! The tables appear to be cleaned off as well. So no issues with service or dine-in. * Tenders, Bites, and Fries * I've tried the following: ~ Dave's #3, with 1 Hot Chicken Tender and a Chicken Slider w/ Fries ($13.99) ordered medium and it was pretty tasty. I didn't care much for the slider, as the little toasted bread didn't make a difference. I guess you can say I didn't notice it. ~ Dave's #1 with 2 Hot Chicken Tenders and Fries ($12.99), this I liked! Even just two tenders still filled me up. The fries are just OK. I don't mind crinkle-cut fries. ~ 10 pc. Dave's Bites w/ Fries ($9.99), now I wasn't sure if there actually were ten bites, but I had these HOT and boy were they HOT. A nice but manageable heat indeed. Overall, I like this Dave's location. It's in a popular eating area so just be aware of the possible parking madness. Service is fine, dining-in is fine. Their cuts of chicken breast are satisfying, and you can adjust the heat level to your liking. Knowing me, I'll be back.

    This location gets pretty busy and even with a large parking lot, it can be hard to find parking at times. Order ahead and save yourself from having to wait. We like to order the chicken sliders and fries with extra sauce on the side. Always fresh and hot.

    So nice I had to have it twice, in one week! My first visit was during the lunch hour with a coworker on a Monday afternoon. It was busy but not overcrowded with plenty of places to sit both inside and out. Staff were friendly, ordering was easy and the food came out quickly. I got a slider and fries and wow, the chicken and fries were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Seriously so good. I cannot believe I'm only having this now. I loved everything about the slider including the slaw and pickles. I think this is a much better value and quality than other chicken places. Because I loved it so much, I came back the following weekend with my husband so that he could try it for the first time and we had another great experience. Staff were consistently attentive and helpful. Food was great. Thank you!

    These guys are always super friendly, no matter how busy or what time of the day! Their food is pretty great and they are open super late. This is one of those super late hangout spots these days so the parking lot can be a bit full - seriously, be careful...I had a younger girl falling over drunk right as I was trying to exit the parking lot. She was pretty small and hard to see. Cramped parking lots can be a bit tricky - especially since a lot of vehicles are huge oversized trucks. But this is where everyone goes to get some hangover cure.

    What a cool little chicken spot. Stopped by for a quick lunch. The food came out quick and tasted great. The decor really pops. It's located in a cute outdoor shopping center. If you're in the area, it's a nice place to grab a bite.

    If you want to burn your butthole this place don't mess around. Their spicy had me gasping more than when i see margot robbie in wolf of wallstreet. Honestly doe the chicken is as juicy as me right after the shower. And their sauce is the best fried chicken spot hands down fite me otherwise. Bulk approved bootyhole burned!

    I knew about Dave's chicken for a really long time but never tried it. Apparently, we have been missing out because the chicken sliders were really tasty. It was quite late at night (like 11 ish) and we were hungry after going to a concert. Desperate to eat anything, we quickly googled a place to go and Dave's chicken was the closest to our location. Let me tell you, it was a relief when we saw the shop was well lit and still filled with customers. We quickly ordered a meal and the food came quickly. I got a mild chicken slider and my fiancé got the medium spicy one. The sliders were big, made fresh and the chicken was hot and tender. After a long night, it was heavenly. We also appreciated the fries and pickles as they completed the meal. The chocolate milk shake was delicious as well as it wasn't overly sweet and had a nice chocolate flavor. Would we come back very often? Probably not as fried chicken isn't the healthiest option. However, if we ever crave fried chicken and/or need some good late-night food, we will definitely return to Dave's chicken.

    Tried out this location for the first time and was pleased. Clean dining area and friendly staff. Ordered the medium heat chicken tenders which were juicy but not too spicy. I would definitely go with the hot next time! Fries are nicely seasoned and liked that it came with Pickles! Sauce was ok, not overly flavorful but chicken had enough seasoning. Yummy! Will come again!

    I'm a sucker for fried chicken, and I loved this place. The spicy seasoning and special cheese sauce hit the spot. I do wish they added more sauce to the fries, but I guess that's how they get you with the extra charge.

    #2 (two sliders) mild with added cheese

    Great to have such an accessible fast food halal option nearby! Service can be super quick, but definitely recommend being willing to wait as during busy times it can significantly slow down. Good news is they also have an order ahead option via the app to bypass the rush of ordering in person. Another reason to consider ordering through the app for pickup is the noise level can get really loud when dining in. The music is loud, and the din from other diners seems to echo. Not exactlythe right place for dates or to bring young children, but if the weather is nice they do have outdoor seating options!

    Friendliest manager (gal with strawberry blondish hair and glasses) that seems to treat her team with fun and respect every time I've seen her interact with them. This location is always efficient and clean. Food is consistently amazing for what it is. Moist chicken tenders, great sauce , even better pickles. The pieces of chicken are always a decent size. It's not the cheapest lunch option, but the quality is this definitely there.

    Another Dave's, another delicious lunch! I got there around 1:30pm but it wasn't busy, only 1 person in front of me. Like I said in a review of a different location, Dave's continually impresses me with the streamlined consistency of their food regardless of which location I eat at, and this spot checks all the boxes as well. The chicken was perfectly seasoned with my favorite "medium" spice. They were thick, juicy, and moist, having the same high quality I've come to love. The fries are insanely good too by the way. They always come out pipping hot, cooked perfectly with such a satisfying crunch to them. Plus the seasoning they use on the fries is great too. Staff was friendly, happy to accommodate us when we asked for more of Dave's delicious sauce. Fantastic and filling lunch as always. If you haven't eaten as Dave's before you really need too. And if you have, it's time to go back.

    #2 Sliders and Fries
    Cesar D.

    I have been looking forward to tasting Dave's Hot Chicken. I had not realized that they are large chicken tenders but don't let this turn you off the sandwiches are great. I tried the #2 combo, 2 sliders with fries, pickles and fries sauce. The chicken has a lot of flavor, you can also add your spice level, I chose the medium level it was perfect. Plenty of fries with a tasty dipping sauce. I could only finish one of the sliders, they are huge, I saved the other one for later. They also have Cauliflower sliders that are served on a potato bun with a kale slaw. I will need to try them next time. For shake lovers they have your favorites. I love pickles so I ordered an extra side, worth the cost. The inside of the location had plenty of seating. It was very busy mid day but you can also place an order for pickup, they have a pick up window for to go order which is very convenient. The staff were friendly. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu.

Not "tacky" as others mentioned but the corners need a good deep clean. I only noticed because I dropped silverware while dumping my plate so got a closer look when I picked it up. To be fair it was only next to the trash can. Otherwise nothing stood out as anything of concern.

It also has very thin gyro meat you can see in the photos that are like slices you can buy at the store vs the thick electric serrated knife cut chunks I prefer. The thicker meat gives more flavor of the herbs when you bite in, but this has way Too much veg. The bread should also be toasted or grilled. It was soft so likely warmed. I will try the other gyro cart next time. If you want the best gyro in Portland (though their hours are horrible) make the effort to go to Cedos on MLK. It will change your life. Would I order a gyro here again? Probably not, whip is why I gave it two stars. I figure other items here are likely better. And the improvements would be pretty simple. Nice service.
