chicken sandwich
Kyna V.

Their chicken is great, sometimes the spicier you go though, the saltier it gets. Their service is quick even if there's a line. Lots of kids hanging out here. I love how easy it is to find in downtown dearborn.

10 pc. Dave's Bites w/Mac & Cheese
Angela W.

Hubby ordered a 10 pc. Dave's Bites with Mac instead of fries for me to grab on his way home from work. The small mac and cheese container wasn't even 1/3 of the way full, there were only 8 pieces instead of 10, and no pickles. He wrote them after getting their survey and there was no apology or offer to make it right. Just thanks for the feedback and basically oh well. While it was my new favorite chicken place, the attitude towards their error makes me feel like I need to have the husband go back to chick fil a or Popeyes on the way home from work.

Okay so I know we hype a lot of things up. Especially when it comes to food but. Dave's you did something my guy. The chicken is seasoned and flavored very well. 2 tenders and a half a fry is all I need, those pickles are to die for! those crispy strips and fries lord just make sure whatever you do try them out before you give em a thumbs down. This location on Michigan Ave in Dearborn is very nice professional and quick I walked in and waited maybe 3 mins . I like it a lot shout out to Dave's in Dearborn. Oh and it was hot for my ride. Oh btw I went 2 days in a row day 1 Southfield who was also fast and good

I have to give this Dave's Hot Chicken 4 stars due to the fact that, yes, it is a satisfying meal in which you can enjoy. The meal is filling depending on what you get. Although, the flavor of the chicken can get a tad tiring. Most of the flavor you would taste is from the sauce as well as the honey which enhances the meal itself. The service was exceptionally well, I got my food within 7 minutes. Although on a busy day possibly 10-15 minutes. I have been here a few times in order to perceive an understandable review. The workers are easy going and helpful. As for the overall atmosphere of the place, it is clean. There are tables with four seats to each one, they also have men and women's restrooms. Four stars would be my final review.

Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Mac & Cheese
Lauren D.

I was really excited to try DHC but was thoroughly disappointed. The dry rub on the chicken was flavorless and the Mac and cheese was so cheap tasting. You have to drown the chicken in Dave's sauce for it to actually have some flavor. I hope that it gets better

I live in Kentucky pretty close to Nashville, so I have extremely high standards for fried chicken, especially Nashville hot chicken. I was up in the area for work meeting up with a friend and we decided to give Dave's Hot Chicken a try. I ordered a couple of tenders. I did enjoy them! One thing I thought that was missing is the tenders weren't drenched in that spicy oil that then seeps into the bread. But given how far we are from the Mecca of hot chicken, it's definitely not bad and it'll satisfy a craving. The service was pretty efficient. The locale is conveniently located in downtown Dearborn with fun murals. Pretty good! Would recommend.

Chicken 10 pc. Dave's Bites w/ Fries

The menu is simple... chicken. They have a couple sides. The chicken sandwich was delicious. Hot was hot and had good flavor. It's not slathered with sauce as they use some seasonings. The fries have seasoning as well. The Mac n cheese was solid. Of course remember you are at a fast food place. The staff was quick and friendly. Plenty of seating for four people to a table. Overall a great stop for some chicken sandwiches!!

Chicke Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries
Rob K.

My youngest son and I stopped at Dave's on a Wednesday night around 7 for a small bite. Dave's was about a block away from our hotel and I was quite intrigued. I ordered the two fingers and fries (hot) and my youngest son went for two sliders. Two sliders was a better portion! The Dave's sauce is really good. The service was good. I ordered the hot which had a pretty good kick to it. My only drawback was the size. 13 bucks I should get at least three tenders. For a quick bite with a lot of flavor I'd definitely recommend going!

Dave's #2 2 Hot Sliders w/ Cheese Fries
Sandra P.

We definitely will be back . Excellent customer service. Loved the atmosphere with great music. Ordered the 2 piece Chicken Strip Meal with cheese fries. Ordered it Hot and it delivered, but it was too hot For me. I usually can handle spice, but next time I will get medium. My husband and I split a large MnM shake. The shake and the Dave sauce helped cool it down. The strips were massive and juicy. The only thing I suggest is get some salt for your fries.

I can't believe the place is still here after all of these years. There are 2 types of subs here: Italian, and "Other Subs", so you know that this shop sprang from the vibrant Italian community that once populated Detroit. The Italian Subs at Gonella's are ordered according to how many layers it builds up (which I think is a unique concept). These layered Gonella Italian Subs are layered with a variety of Italian meats (Hard Salami, Salami Cotto, Mortadella, Smoked Ham and Capicola), provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions & Gonella's homemade dressing. Soft or hard roll. Extras: Peppers (+.50) Cheese (+.50) - (Turkey is reserved for the "Other Subs). 6 Layers Meat, 1 Layer Cheese --- $8 8 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $9 12 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $12 14 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $13 18 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $14 The subs are heavy and delicious.

Soft sub buns, tons of stacks of meat, lettuce and tomato or not. No one goes hungry after a sub here. Some deli spots tend to skimp on the protein, but not this place. My team members favorite is the Italian, 6 stacks. I usually will go for a turkey or chicken stack. They offer up to 18 stacks, haven't tried that yet.

Sammich is a term reserved for only the holiest and mightiest of all sandwiches. Sandwiches make a good snack, but sammiches are forever. Sums it up perfectly. The Ontario sandwich is quite possibly the best sandwich I've ever had (in recent memory)! I am so glad I accidentally wandered into this spot. I was visiting the Arab American National Museum down the street and wanted to grab a quick bite and I didn't want McDonald's or Burger King. I thought...hmm a sandwich shop. Let's just grab a quick bite. I didn't know what to order so I ordered the Ontario and an iced caramel latte. Once the sandwich came out I thought," Hmm looks good." Then I took a single bite and OMG. The toasted crunch, the chipotle sauce, the perfectly sou vided chicken breast, and melted cheese...it was just an explosion of favor! The French fries were perfectly done and had a good crisp. The spot is quiet and comfortable. I could see myself coming back to enjoy a slow afternoon while eating a godly sandwich.

Their sandwiches are crazy-expensive, especially for the quality of the turkey. It was the slimy, smooth kind, not the more dry, you-can-see-the-grain-and-taste-the-quality kind. I got turkey and cheddar and it was $15, plus adding a drink and chips was $3 more. Hubband got the turkey and ham sandwich and said the ham was excellent but had the same gripe about the low quality turkey as me. Are they big, yes? Would I rather have less meat but it be much higher quality for the same price? Also yes. Decor hasn't changed in the almost 15 years since I visited. It's clean enough but still incredibly over-crowded with too many tables and chairs. Service was friendly. Honestly, this is just so underwhelming that I'm incredibly surprised that people are excited to drop $15 on a mediocre sandwich. I'm missing something (it must be nostalgia because I didn't grow up here.)

Been wanting to try this place out for a while…read more Overheard this place will be closed for 4 weeks or so starting next week. Grabbed some lunch for my team: Chicken bacon ranch no lettuce or tomato, a large Lebanese salad (no pita), Turkey Reuben sandwich, Chicken melt, Bronx and a can of Mountain Dew and one can of Coke. Oh my. Their Chicken melt menu that someone posted on here changed from what someone else had posted a while back. Their current chicken melt is essentially a chicken Philly. It wasn't what my team member wanted, had to give it to someone else, since it had mushrooms in it. The Lebanese salad was good, the large is a good size. Loaded with tomatoes and cukes. Ended up with bits of pita at the bottom of my salad, had to pick them out. :/ The chicken bacon ranch was nicely packed with meat in a sub bun. The Bronx was good as well. The turkey Rueben was okay. Light on the kraut and sauce. The turkey meat was deli slices though. The bread was maybe separately toasted. It was pan or cook top cooked. The rye was a bit too hard as I tried to get a bite in. I ended up having to gut it and eat the inside goods separately. Oven roasted turkey would have been fantastic, more kraut or add slaw too. Salad was good and fresh. The sandwiches look picture worthy.
