    First visit here. With so many chicken places, we wanted to see what Dave's was all about. Walking in the door, you are in the dining room. A brightly colored space painted with murals. Noon on a Saturday, most tables were full. With the tables that were open, they had crumbs or sauce smeared on the top. Chair look Industrial (uncomfortable for big butts and wide hips, yeah!) and painted bright red. **By the time we were almost done eating, lots of people had left and it quieted down. And then staff came out to clean and reorganize the tables and chairs. Walking up to the counter, the menu was very clear. Minimal meal options (only 4, similar to Cane's) as ordering chicken doesn't need to be fancy. And they also have vegetarian options by offering a cauliflower version. Meals don't come with a beverage included but there were alternatives to the soda fountain, like slushies or shakes. Staff was friendly and helpful with questions. We were given buzzers while our meals were being prepared. But orders were up within 5 minutes. I ordered a single slider (Mild). It came with an extra cup of Dave's sauce and a bunch of pickles. I had to ask for ketchup packets for my fries. Sis ordered 2 sliders (extra mild). It can't with the same sides but also a piece of plain white bread (no butter??). She also ordered a strawberry slushy. I sampled a taste. Very good for a hit summer day. It's hard to explain the taste of the chicken. I don't do well with Nashville HOT chicken. My throat revolts and I can't breathe, causing a coughing fit with tears. So I was nervous what I'd get with MILD. No heat at all. It was covered in red seasoning (cayenne pepper??) but it actually tasted sweet, which was weird. The chicken was crispy on the outside, nice and juicy on the inside. I liked the soft slider bun, and the Kale slaw gave a nice crunch. I liked the Dave's sauce at first but didn't stand out my the end of the meal. I used it to add some sauce to the sandwich, since there was no other mayo or ketchup on it. The fries were fresh, hot. All soft potatoes, no crunchy outside. Served with sweet, red seasoning again. What is this? Why is it sweet? I would have preferred no seasoning. The best part was the pickles. I got 6 off them! And they were a perfect juicy, sour dill. For me, it's a one and done. But sis said she'd come back here again. So we'll see....I'd maybe try the loaded fries and a slushy.

    Have been wanting to try Dave's hot chicken since they opened. Finally got the opportunity to do so and it was good. Got the two sliders one hot and the other extra hot with fries. Having grown up eating spicy food didn't think the hot was very hot. Next time will have to try the reaper. The sandwiches were tasty regardless of how I felt about the spice level. Service was quick and friendly. The spice levels were explained to me well since it was my first time there.

    I'm not crazy about chicken strips but these are pretty good. The spice makes it taste better. The fries that come with it have a nice seasoning on them.

    Colorful murals on the walls. This restaurant just opened and wasn't too busy. My daughter ordered the slider and tender combo with fries. You can choose your level of spice, she chose hot. Flavorful tenders. Don't let the red color fool you, even if you choose no spice the color is still red. It's the batter they use. There's a drive thru option as well.

    Food 5/5 - The chicken was hot, fresh and flavorful. We got our food within a timely manner. Looking forward to coming back! Service/ Ambiance 5/5 - Restaurant was clean and well maintained. Staff was inviting and very informative with any questions you have.

    I'd recommend if you don't like spicy get Mild or lite mild.

I think the wings come with white rice. The staff was friendly. They gave me a free plain mochi donut that was from Te'Amo. I am very particular about my Japchae, and this was delicious. I literally ate everything that was in the Japchae. The sauce was good. The fried chicken was juicy. I had sauce on the side. You can pick 2 sauces. The options were plain, soy, spicy, and danmae. Despite the sauces, I liked it plain--is that crazy of me? Anyway, I definitely will be coming back.

    We've been here several times and have never been disappointed. Just a note, they are now named…read moreChingu (the signage did not reflect the name change). They are the same as the Burnsville Center location and the Maplewood location that is still under construction (as of 12/6/25). The staff is very friendly and attentive which makes it a welcoming experience. We always go for the soy garlic sauce on the KFC, it is by far our favorite. The chicken is always good sized, juicy, and the sauce blends perfectly. Just an FYI, the wings are split into two pieces, the flat and the drummie. That will count as two pieces when calculating the piece count. We have not tried any other dishes because we love the chicken so much! You can't go wrong with Korean Fried Chicken!

The food was fresh and delicious. Their lemon pepper wings were spot on, as well as their original hot wings. This one of favorite wing chains because the pricing undercuts most of the "sit down" chains and the wing quality is great. I'm surprised at the low rating for this location. The dining room was filled with patrons raving about their food and the delivery orders were flying out the door. Just proves that those star ratings are highly subjective and research shows people with bad experiences are more likely to leave reviews than people who had good experiences.

Went back inside to see what they could do for me. The girl straight up was like, "nope, can't help you. Sorry. There's nothing we can do" ummmm what? I understand if I ordered through the app it's separate from ordering at the store, but she wouldn't even give me a phone number or check to see where I could resolve this issue. Didn't care at all. All I wanted was the managers number to call later or some sort of contact number. She refused and was having the worst attitude with me. I mean, I get it, it was only $6 ($1.49 ranch, $4.49 fries) that I was overcharged, but seriously, make it right. She ended up calling the store manager and gave me the $6 back, but then she kept rolling her eyes and treated me like trash. She didn't' have to be rude. I wasn't asking for a refund from the store, I just wanted to speak with a manager or their customer service line so I can resolve it elsewhere because there was clearly an issue with the online ordering that should probably be fixed for other customers as well. And if you can't do anything about the issue because its an online order, I get it, but don't be rude af. I've worked in customer service for 20 years and have never treated a customer like she treated me. I will not be returning.

    So this place is a cool find in Anoka. I don't know how long this has been and let alone a chain…read moresandwich shop, but hurray for me. Ordered delivery from this Capriotti's because I very much had a hankering for a sandwich. Perusing the menu showed it could be difficult to make a selection. I would eat any of their sandwiches except the tuna. I could not make up my mind, so I ordered the Capastrami and the Bobbi. First, I will upon receiving these two sandwiches - they are large! I mean, really large. I ordered a small Bobbi, a medium Capastrami, and a regular order of fries (there were a ton of fries too). A small was almost too much for me, and the medium was certainly a shareable, or an eat half now, and eat the other half later in the week situation. The Sandwiches themselves were good. The Bobbi with the turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce was excellent. More importantly, they offered a side of gravy. That really put it over the top for me. Who doesn't like gravy, right? I dipped everything, including the mountain of fries, into the gravy (everybody in the pool!). Definitely ordering this one again if available. The Capastrami would have been amazing if I had been able to eat some of that from my delivery. Even the following day, it was terrific. For a chain deli, it is much better than the usual suspects we have for chain sandwich shops, and this one will be first on the list when I want a sandwich.

    They were very quick with my order, and the food was well made. (Wasn't really my taste, but I…read morethink I just ordered wrong personally.) the restaurant itself feels very nice. I'm glad they finally did something productive with that old bank building.
