Paper thin chicken I've never received it like this from Dave's and they said this is always how it is
Javier S.

BEGINNING of the END: I received paper thin chicken and asked politely if Dave's is changing their chicken and how they do things. The person said this is always how their chicken has been. I asked if I can get a thicker piece of chicken because I have NEVER gotten chicken like this from Dave's ever. They said they would and then came back with a receipt for a refund and said the manager told them on the phone not to make my order. I am Muslim and have eaten at Dave's for years because it is halal but I can happily choose another restaurant. UPDATE same day: about 10 min later the shift lead arrives after I asked if I could speak with the manager that told them not to serve me. The shift lead was quite rude but I was extra polite and telling her I just wanted my food not a refund! So she then said I'll see what I can do, so I was hopeful. Then a couple minutes later the general manager of the location came in and walked up to me aggressively acting like she wanted to address it but wanted to tell me what happened and not listen to what happened. And I tried to say the same thing to her and she literally just wanted to kick me out of the restaurant.. I've never dealt with such rude behavior and hateful tone at a restaurant I swear to the man upstairs. The GM solidified that I am now done with Dave's hot chicken and will not spend my money here. All because I asked has the chicken got smaller? Lol

Yummy tenders meal
Vanessa G.

This was one of the few places open at night on the 4th of July, so thank you Dave's. It was just my husband and I, and we had the tenders meals. One with cheese fries, one with kale slaw. They originally gave us Mac and cheese. This location always gets orders wrong. Oh well, easy fix. It was packed but we managed to get a dirty table that we had to clean oursleves. I can't be picky, since it was the only place open near by. The food was at least pretty good.

Reaper tender

My mouth is full of ice cubes and yogurt right now from just 1 bite of this. FML The sliders are superb though

Daaaavvveeee let me in.

Dave, I know how great your sandwiches are. I wasn't planning on eating at your place today but my temptations got the best of me and I ended up having your mini sliders. It was good. Really good. The perfect amount for someone who didn't want to eat too much while maintaining the same great taste as a normal sandwich. The honey and the sauce paired with the fries? Fuhgetaboutit. But what I can't forget is how sticky my fingers got after going through your meals. How could I open the bathroom doors without getting honey and crumbs all over the handles? Look like a dinosaur by opening it with my elbows? Which I didn't even have the option to since the bathroom was in use during the duration of my dinner. I had to resort to getting the water from the dispenser and having my wife pour it over my hands outside. Your food is great. Your staff's service is cool. But you could really use some hand wipes to go with your dishes. Just my 2 cents. See you soon again. Xoxo Daniel

I had amazing service from Kaylee!! She's so kind and truly excels at customer service, my food was great and she was serving amazingly!

I was served by Kylee! She is amazing at gathering orders and attending us! She had a smile on her face that set the atmosphere in the restaurant!

The wait was long but the food came out hot and was worth it. Despite the wait being long, the cashier, Kayleigh, was an absolute beast and kept the line moving. She constantly helped pack orders, confirmed door dash order, Uber Eats orders, and took orders at the same time. I also overheard other patrons saying this was the best and preferred location in the area.

Cheese fries

Wtf cheese fries?! Reg fries $3.99 vs cheese fries $5.79 I paid $1.20 more for this? Do better

The chiiicken lmao

They have unique decorations and all around fun environment. The service was quick and polite. The food was better than I anticipated. The chicken had a lot of flavor. And I loved the sauce they have!

Courtney T.

I ubered the food and it was delicious 8.3/10! Spice level for mild and medium wasn't spicy! Add honey to the chicken solid 9/10! Mac and cheese it was okay 6.5/10. Sauce 9/10! Pickles 7/10 nice crunch! Fries have to eat right away for crispiness 8.5/10.

My order with the Dave bites and sauce dipper ordered 2x

Nothing special. Basic fried chicken, but paying $20 for 2 sliders. Inflation is crazy. Not worth it at all!

Went on a Saturday evening & although the parking lot was pretty full, there was plenty of free…read moreparking on the street just behind the lot. Our server was quick & friendly. It helped that it wasn't crowded. The outdoor seating is nice. My friend and I shared the vegan BFF board. You get to select two cheeses. I highly recommend the brie. We thought we might also order a sandwich, but everything on the board along with a glass of wine for each of us was just the right amount of food for the 2 of us. I'm so glad this place has vegan options. I'm looking forward to trying their other cheeses, vegan meats, and their sandwiches.

Absolutely love their charcuterie boards and paninis! They have both diary and vegan boards…read moreavailable, which is very rare to find. They also have happy hour Tuesdays-Thursday from 2:00-5:30pm, where they offer house wines for $5 and personal cheese board for $10. For boards, I usually get the Goldilocks specialty board, which comes with 3 cheeses ranging in texture from soft to hard. For an additional cost, you can add meat: prosciutto, salami, Spanish chorizo, or half & half of any two. For paninis, everything I've tried was very good. I've had the Signature which has a double-cream brie, pear slices, mixed greens, and fig jam. Lib Grilled Cheese comes with three premium cheese blend, grilled with olive oil, and minced garlic. All paninis are on their sourdough bread and served with their signature side salad. The decor here is very cute - showcasing their cheese fridge and shelves lined with wines and jams available for purchase. There are some tables both indoors and outside. I recently saw that they host events, offer quick same-day catering within 2-3 hours of ordering, and deliver for orders up to 50 people! Always coming back for their cheese boards and great happy hour!

We found Habibi's Cafe through TikTok, and after seeing all the photos and hearing good things…read morethrough word of mouth, we decided to check it out. I've also been wanting to explore more local café spots, and this ended up being a very solid find. The zaatar cheese manakish was easily one of the highlights. It was warm and cheesy without being overly oily, while the zaatar added a crisp, earthy flavor that balanced everything really well. The basterma manakish was good, but it was probably my least favorite of what we ordered. There was nothing necessarily wrong with it, but it did not stand out as much as the other items. Still, anyone who already prefers basterma would probably enjoy it. The pistachio honey labneh was also really good. The labneh itself was clearly well made, and the pistachio paired beautifully with it. However, I felt that those two flavors overpowered the honey, so the honey did not add anything particularly noticeable. I think hot honey would have made the dish more interesting by adding some contrast and bringing all the flavors together. The zaatar grilled cheese was another great choice. Overall, the manakish here is excellent and seems to be one of the café's strongest offerings. We also ordered matcha and a few other drinks, which rounded out the meal nicely. The café is spacious, with seating in the front, an outdoor area in the back, and around four or five indoor tables. The staff was friendly, helpful, and especially good at explaining the menu. For anyone unfamiliar with Lebanese or Middle Eastern flavors, they make it easy to understand the different ingredients and decide what to order.
