Strawberry Oreo Shake
Shawn P.

Take a tums and enjoy the best chicken sandwich of your life! This meal was amazing. The strawberry oreo shake was to die for. I scarfed almost all of it down before I remembered to get a pic of it! Yum!!

Easily the best fast food fried chicken! I've had KFC, Popeye's, and Chick-fil-A, and I think Dave's Hot Chicken is way better than any of them simply for the quality of the fried chicken (which is what it's all about, after all!). Dave's has a small menu - you basically choose between combinations of chicken tenders and sliders, with 7 levels of spiciness (HOT was just right for me). There's a bit more variety in the sides (fries, cheese fries, mac & cheese, and kale slaw). The fried chicken is exquisite! It comes out hot, juicy, and very crispy. The breading is very crunchy without being too thick and greasy. The fries were also wonderfully crispy and nicely seasoned. You get a side of Dave's Sauce, which is great for dipping both tenders and fries. They may have a small menu, but that have absolutely mastered their offerings. Can not recommend enough! Dave's is my new go-to place for fried chicken.

My husband and I dined at Dave's not knowing what to expect and we were very pleasantly surprised!! We ordered the 2 mild sliders with fries. The sliders had their special sauce, pickles, kaleslaw and we added cheese. The chicken was so flavorful and extremely crispy without being overly greasy. The pickles, slaw, and sauce really complimented the flavor of the mild chicken. The inside we super cool. There was graffiti on some accent walls, colorful, hanging lights, and some Madison decor. I noticed the inside was clean and workers were frequently going around sanitizing tables. Unless you're super hungry, you could definitely split the slider meal with another person, the portions are huge! I will definitely be back for some more delicious sliders!

5 stars because these sandwiches were stellar…read more I had the classic 2.0 with the addition of sweet pickled peppers and my SO had the turkey sandwich and we loved them both. The turkey was a hot sandwich while the classic was a cold. The location itself is small, feels like a hole in the wall bar with great cozy vibes. We were lucky enough to bike over on a nice day and so we sat in the outdoor space which is also small but got the job done before we were back on our bikes with happy bellies. We will definitely be revisiting so we can try more of the menu!

I thoroughly enjoyed myself here, that being said, on par with some of the lower reviews - they did…read morerun out of the pork belly sando, they charge for everything extra, and service was pretty slow. But if you were open to just having a nice casual dinner in a retro easy place, this is it. My fiance and I went to meet up with some friends from out of town and from a list of places I wanted to try, they chose this one. Between the two of us, we spent about $60 for this meal, which I suppose now adays is on par with what you can get away with. We also left with half a sandwich because honestly, these guys are huge! -Hot Beef Sando with Cheese (extra): this was a massive sandwich, packed with flavor. The ah jus was on the side and needed for dunking. It hit the spot, was a messy affair, but was very good. The meat wasn't melt in your mouth, it was actually quite dry, but the mix of everything together and the dip made it good overall. - Chili Cup: well spiced, super small cup and charging a dollar for each addition of onion, cheese, and sour cream is murder. Pass on the fixings, the soup doesn't need it, but it's not something i'd get again as it wasn't knock out of the park good. -Homemade Orange Soda: this was great. I love the nostalgia of using Tang and it was more earthy because they put some spices in it. Overall, would get again. -Coleslaw was asian inspired and made well, especially with the mint on top. Be warned though, its the same slaw on the pulled chicken...which speaking of: -Pulled chicken sandwich: It's their meat americanized fusion version of a banh mi. I know they have a vegan one on their menu, but this one felt less like a sandwich. The spices weren't quite asian tho and was interesting with the slaw. I wouldn't say it was my favorite but I did eat a whole half. Happy nomming!

It had been so long since I went to Crostini, and it's still a lovely little local spot that now…read moreseems to have more seating (yay!). We were having a work "philly cheesesteak" dinner but needed a good spot to get takeout. We came to Crostini - ordering was super easy and our food was ready and waiting for us upon arrival. Staff was very friendly in our limited interaction. I don't love steak, so I got the philly chicken cheesesteak, and holy moly was this sandwich massive. I could barely even hold it together there was so much chicken going on there!! I ended up keeping all the chicken that naturally fell out of the sandwich as leftovers and put it over rice for a meal the next day. I loved that the sandwich had mushroom and peppers on it, having some veggie interaction made it feel healthy :) Especially considering I got a small french fry with it too (which was actually somewhat large). Ketchup was extra so I went without it and was perfectly happy eating my french fries without condiments. This place definitely still fills a void in the area and I highly recommend checking them out!

We placed an order for pickup including a sub sandwich, a panini, and fries. Everything was ready…read morein advance of our pickup time which worked out great for us. The online ordering system is a little clunky but they were able to handle our requests (no tomato). And the ability to see your order status was very nice. Our food was still hot (that should be) when we picked up. The actual restaurant is a little awkward when you get inside. There's a small alcove to the left where you place your order. And you have to ring the bell for service. Everyone was super nice and the place looked vibey from what I could see. Not a ton to say since I just picked up. The food was excellent. The sub sandwich comes rolled kind of like a wrap which I wasn't expecting but didn't impact the flavor of experience. The panini was huge and easily 2 meals. Fries were soooo good. Like stadium quality. And don't skip the nacho cheese if you like a classic cheese fry. Overall I'm sad we haven't tried them sooner!
