    Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries
    Tracy B.

    My son was turning 22 and chose Dave's for his birthday dinner. We all enjoyed the sliders or strips, and I love that you can choose the spice levels. Our group ranges from mild to hot, so it's nice to have that option. The crunchy pickles are really delicious, and the coleslaw pairs perfectly with the crunchy chicken. The service was excellent, and since the food is made to order, there's a little wait, but it's totally worth it!

    This was my first time trying this and I've always wanted to try so when I was test driving a Tesla model Y I decided to try it since it was nearby. I ordered I think mild cause I thought it was gonna be super spicy and it was crispy, but it didn't really have much flavor. The fries were OK. The ranch wasn't as good as Wingstop. Also the staff here was not as organized as I would like for them to be. It took about 30 minutes for the chicken to come out and for it not to be that tasty. I was a little disappointed. The next day I ordered from another retailer and it was delicious as always it's called urban hot chicken I believe.

    Beyond overpriced Dave's #1: 2 Tenders w/ Fries

    $14 for TWO sweetish tenders that I expected to be hot and a handful of fries that weren't even cooked fully. You gotta be kidding. Ended up paying almost $20 for a full meal because of course a drink isnt included in your $14 combo of 2 tenders and fries lol.

    Two sliders and two tenders more than enough food for the 3 of us!

    Second time here and it's pretty good! My kids and I enjoy the no spice slider and tenders! It's like Cane but with flavor and spice. I add honey to my slider with extra pickles. Location is pretty new and clean. The service is pretty nice too, Elijah was behind the counter and was super helpful

    Super delicious! I highly recommend it. It's my first time trying it, and it tastes great and was warm and fresh. The service was very friendly.

    Tried this place for the first time today. The food was great. Chicken was moist and flavorful! Service was great. Loved the local art on the walls. Will come back!

    Awesome wall art & aesthetic!

    Besides the AMAZING friendly service, this place knows how to do HOT Chirken!!! YUM-O!! These kids are awesome and are so welcoming and quick to serve up your order. It is always fresh and HOT and the most crispy chirken and fries!! I do wish the side mac n cheese was a larger size for what you pay but otherwise have no complaints. And really, is that a complaint or wishful thinking? Lol Thanks y'all. See you next date night!

    Chicken Tender - Medium Heat - Great Flavor with a subtle kick of spice - Delicious

    The place was clean, and the staff was super friendly. The food was fresh, delicious, and cooked to perfection. I had the hot spice chicken slider and it was delicious !!! Great flavor with just a little kick.

    This place never disappoints. We have been coming here since it opened and always satisfying. The flavor is always on point.

    Nice, clean restaurant. Yocelyn had great customer service, and helped us out with the menu. Food was pretty good. Not the best hot chicken I've had, but it was good. I got the Dave's single, Extra Hot, and I didn't think it was that hot, will try the Reaper next time. Got the Dave's Bites for my kids and it was enough for them to share, about 10 bites, and they enjoyed them!

    Chocolate milkshake

    Presentation was good. Mac and cheese was watery cheesy. Chicken overall was tasty but dry. And the milkshake was 10/10 my favorite thing. The pickles were also very very good. Price was a little steep. $38 for 2 meals and a side with 2 drinks. Service was okay. The girl in the front didn't seem to have patience and we were the only people there.

    I'm gunna start with the food I know some people don't want to read the whole story. Lol But it is…read morean interesting one for those who do. My order: 5 piece spicy with Laynes sauce and ranch it ran about $14 for the meal. Chicken- very fresh they were definitely made to order for us. Very crunchy and juicy. Seasoning/Spice level- wasn't too spicy. More on the mild heat. I'm very sensitive to salty food these were highly salty. That was my only critique bc other than that they were delicious. They are also real tenders unlike canes which seem to be strips of chicken breast. Laynes sauce was decent. I tasted the black pepper. Paprika and definitely celery salt in there. Those note were very up front. The ranch was just ranch lol. The meal came with fries and some Texas toast. They also have shakes that's looked good but didn't try one this time. Now the story: Ok wow this place was an eye opener and had me highly curious my friend said u got to try Layne's chicken I'm like I had canes before. He said no Laynes. I'm like I never heard of that before. So we went since it sparked my interest we went and on the ride there I was wondering what came first? A new "chicken or the egg?" Thing. Lol. So I looked it up on AI and sure enough Laynes was in 94 and originated in college station TX. And canes. In 96 in NOLA. As we pull up to this location on 132 E Airtex Dr. you would never believe what was right next to this place. Yessss A Mother flipping Canes lol. I'm like are we on a batttle ground right now. lol. They literally have the same menu. And are neighbors. So now it was even more of a question which one is better? So it you are trying to decide: LAYNES - actual chicken tenters. Crunchy. Juicy. Way more flavor. Even though highly salty. Maybe it was just the spicy ones. I don't try the regular tenders. The do offer shakes here as well looked good but didn't try them. Always a plus for some shakes. Laynes is definitely a place to go to. Canes, Who's ur daddy? The answer to that is Laynes lol

    Let me start off by saying I use to go to the original Layne's in College Station a few years back…read morewhen my daughter was at Texas A&M and it was one block from her apt. The chicken fingers were a lot larger and I think hand battered, but definitely made to order. With that said all chicken finger/tender places (Cane's and Zaxby's) all went to way smaller size fingers/tenders around Covid time. That is my only complaint is the size of the fingers/tenders. Not sure if Layne's still hand batters or if they now use pre battered frozen product. Couldn't tell by looks. Size went down and price went up lol...3 piece spicy is what I ordered and $9.49 Hot and tasted great, good spice and I got the jalapeño ranch sauce..nice kick and sauce was great. Place is brand new and looks fresh and modern and clean. I will return but on a day that I am really hungry I'll have to order the 4 piece but at $11.40 it's pretty high.
