    Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries
    Tanisha H.

    Been wanting to try this place! It was well worth the wait. I went for the "Hot" spice level and did have some lip tingling! The slider was good and even the fries were seasoned well. The Dave's sauce is flavorful and their ranch was tasty as well.

    Before I begin let me start off by saying that this review is based solely upon my personal experiences and my personal experiences alone, so with that being said let's begin!!!... I decided to stop in and check things out, I walked in and was NOT greeted when I walked in, there was only one employee working the register and there was at least 7 or 8 customers in front of me!. I studied the menu and I didn't see anything that I was interested in eating, the menu was limited in my opinion. There WASN'T even a kids menu option!!!.. unless you had to ask about a kids menu at the register? How can you open up a restaurant and not cater to little ones? Maybe I missed something, who knows!. In any event I was not pleased by what I experienced and I won't be back anytime soon!!!...

    I've been a few times and my food has always come out hot and tasty. The hot spice is my favorite level of heat. The loaded fries and the nuggets are probably my favorite so far. I do want to try the lucky charms milkshake! lol the staff member who waited on me this afternoon was awesome. Very knowledgeable and constantly working. Very attentive and helpful, as well. I do believe the menu is expensive. However, the portions are big (too big for me alone) so if you split it with someone it cuts the cost down and you both leave full! In the area, Check Them Out!

    Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries
    Zarielle A.

    Went here for lunch around 12 pm. Decided to just use the drive-through rather than going inside. No difficulties occurred when ordering today. Did have a little wait on my food though, but nothing crazy. The staff working today were friendly and nice. I ordered the Dave's #2: 2 sliders with slaw, fries, and pickles (9/10) I got mild spice and I honestly could've gotten it more spicy. Everything tasted fresh and my fries were extra crispy and seasoned. I liked the flavor of the chicken, so I really have no complaints with the meal. I did ask for ranch to go with my meal, but was informed that they only have Dave's sauce available so that kind of sucked, but I get it lol. I also got a cup of mac & cheese on the side (10/10). They did forget to initially give me my mac & cheese, so I did have to ask them for it along with some utensils, which also weren't included initially in my bag either. I totally see myself going back, I think next time I'll do just the tenders rather than the sliders and also get a spicier heat level than I did today. They also have popping bubbles drinks that I saw on the menu that I'd like to try in the future. $23 for my #2 meal, soda, and mac and cheese. My overall rate of experience : 9/10

    Dave's is a fun and spicy experience where you can enjoy a variety of chicken and non-chicken dishes. I was captivated by the wild exterior colors emblazoned on the outside so I was naturally curious to try the food. The service was friendly and the cashier did a great job walking through the dishes. I opted for a medium heat sheet they said you'll get a bit of kick- more on that in a bit. The combo included a slider and a chicken strip and fries. I ordered a strawberry lemonade minute maid slush to pair with my meal. The wait time was about 8 minutes and the packaging for the food was well laid out on the platter. The food was really good with extra thick pickles with a good crunch not soggy or drenched in pickle juice. The fries had a nice dusting of cajun like seasoning. The slush wasn't too sweet. The slider had a good amount of spice to it without being too much on the heat. The restaurant also has fountain beverages and there is a drive through with ample parking. It is a bit cramped in the lot as they are situated next to another fast food restaurant. I would definitely come back and try more. The combo was about $20.

    First of all - the food was on point and what I expect from Daves after visiting other locations. So Why three stars you might ask? The staff was pleasant but they were either understaffed when we visited or something because the place was filthy. Dining area was trashed and the restroom as well, we had to clean up our own table to sit and eat. Granted it was a Saturday after typical dinner hours so maybe it was a fluke. I will say the Food wait wasn't long at all.

    Number Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries. Order a side of Mac & Cheese
    Mari F.

    The chicken is very seasoned which is good but there wasn't a kick to the seasoning. I ordered mild for the number 2. The meal comes with fries but no drink. The number 4 was seasoned medium but there was no kick. I did enjoy the amount of pickles that comes with the meal. The person who took my order was just there to be there. Nothing good or bad to say. We sat inside and the art is nice to look at but the drive thru was faster than what it was inside. We waited 20ish minutes for our food while the drive thru was going faster. The Mac and cheese was paste tasting. I would never order it again. I'm happy I finally got to try this place but I don't care if I ever ate here again. This place is like 3-4 stars. They definitely need to speed it up inside. There were so many people waiting inside for their food. My tip: go through the drive thru.

    Tried Dave's today because I saw a video on it and their chicken looked good! I got the medium (I love spicy) this wasn't spicy at all. It was more seasoning then anything. Not horrible but not at all hot. The sauce was also ok but nothing to drive 30 mins for. Over all food was ok the place was clean the staff was pleasant. Definitely try it.

    First time trying this today.... It was actually 10/10 from customer service to the freshness of the food. I got the loaded fries and the slider. Lite mild seasoning on both. The building was cute. I'm glad they had zero coke! I can't wait for the one in Richmond to open now that I've had it!!! Idk what that slaw mixture is on there but that, with the Dave sauce, the pickles and some honey... SO GOOD!!! Needless to say, i will be back... The only reason they got 4 stars instead of 5 is because they are pricy... one sliced meal was like $13. I mean it's good and I'm going back... but it is pricy.

    I've been waiting to check out this new restaurant. I did think it was the dipped hot chicken. We arrived with with about 30 minutes before our Bible Study. Ugh service was slow. Not to complain since the food is freshly cooked to order. Truly not an issue. Our order taker was not really helpful with explaining the items on the short menu. What was included and al la carte. Any hoo we had to eat and run. The hot chicken was packed with spices and really too spicy for me even. Fries were hot n crispy. Fountain drinks..yep that's it. Sure I'll give them another go but not go out of my way to eat here.

    Kristina C.

    We went in after they had been open for over a month. We had heard rave reviews from family out of state that love Dave's. First off, they are very disorganized. It seems like they want you to order online and those were priority over in person. No fountain drinks and bottles were super expensive. We waited 30 minutes for our food. That being said, it was very good. The portions were massive and the chicken was good and spicy. The place looked a little in need of cleaning in the dining area. Would be willing to give them another try to see if the service is better

    Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries
    Dominique M.

    I want start by saying I enjoyed my food but I think that at 15 dollars all in my meal should have come with a drink. It also took almost 15 minutes to get my food. I ordered a Dave's #3 which comes with 1 tender and 1 slider and French fries. Everything I had was delicious. I really enjoyed the kale slaw on the slider it was my something sweet to a lil heat. I got the medium sauce cause heat is subjective with that being said in my opinion that's not really spicy at all. I really enjoyed my side of pickles too.

    Kristin W.

    The service was fine but it wasn't busy at the time I went so I cant speak to their service during a rush. I don't think this is a restaurant i would have a desire to go to again it's just disappointing. The "toast" isn't toasted, the chicken was bland, the mac and cheese was bland, they only offer honey, ketchup and Dave's sauce and it's on the pricier side. The chicken i got that was the hot flavor was heavily dusted with very spicy seasonings, so although it's spicy it isnt a great flavor. The ambiance can be compared to a 5 guys: Small tables, you can see through to the kitchen and self-serve drinks.

    The restaurant was clean and I was greeted when I walked in. The lady who helped me was very nice…read more She took her time and didn't rush me, which I appreciated. I got a grain and greens bowl. They had a lot of good options for toppings, like eggplant, cucumbers and tomatoes, couscous, lentils, onions, and more. I also paid an upcharge and added falafel. The falafel and the bowl were both good. I do wish you could get more than 2 sauces for free, because even with the sauce it was dry. It's $.98 per additional sauce which is too much in my eyes. After I refrigerated it, the sauce disappeared altogether.. The lemon garlic sauce and cilantro sauces are tasty. I also enjoyed their pita chips. You definitely should try those. I tried the red velvet cookie, which was just ok. It was too hard. I've had their chocolate chip cookies in the past which are delicious, but the same vibe wasn't there with the red velvet. The food is pretty healthy with decent options. They also have a few agua frescas to choose from, which are refreshing. Check them out!!

You can tell it was is new and clean and has a cool vibe. For a chain restaurant it is a cool spot for healthy food. I ordered a make tour own bowl and was quite satisfied. They also have fountain juices. The only thing I found odd, was it is a Mediterranean restaurant, but all the workers were Hispanic. I know because there was me and one other patron and while I was enjoying my food, all I heard was Spanish. I would recommend trying this spot. The food is quite good.

I've eaten my fair…read moreshare of Indian food in several states and Canada and this was the best, most authentic food I've had. We arrived around 8pm and were seated immediately. The restaurant wasn't completely full but that soon changed with several families coming in right after us. The restaurant is on the smaller side, clean and decorated well. We went on a Saturday night and ordered off of their special weekend menu. We definitely over ordered. There were 3 of us and we had enough leftovers for a full meal the next day. We ordered the masala cheese dosai, butter chicken, nalli gosht biryani and malai lamb chops. The nalli gosht is the goat shank biryani, we got the order for 2 people, it comes with 2 goat shanks on a mountain of fluffy fragrant basmati rice. The goat was tender falling off the bone, seasoned to perfection in a spicy masala paste/sauce. We got it at level one spice but it tasted spicer. We didn't mind because the spice just added to the flavor. It was so good! We also got the usual butter chicken which turned out to be not so usual because like everything else we tried, the spice combo and depth of flavor just turned it up several notches. The masala cheese dosai was a great start to the meal and was fun to eat with our hands. The lamb chops were a last minute addition and so worth it. The chops were cooked perfectly in a flavorful sauce and served with a veggie slaw. Overall, we LOVED everything we tried and would definitely recommend Biryani Hub. The only suggestion we have would be to serve cold water or offer ice. Our waiter brought a bottle of water to the table with glasses but the water was more room temp. Other than that, it was a great experience.
