    I was so excited to see a Dave's. I tried previously in Massachusetts where it was awesome. I love their colors on the surrounding walls. First thing I see a tip jar? What? I'm old school. Taking order is part of your job. Did you bring food to table? Refill our drinks? Come check we didn't need anything else? I'm sorry I don't get it. I got the mild chicken; it was hotter than expected. I could barely eat. I didn't take my leftovers home with me as I normally do.

    Food is pretty good. I like that you can choose the heat level of the chicken from zero all the way up to reaper. They put it in a box at this one regardless if you are eating in or not, and comically only give you one napkin. I asked for more, they gave me one more. I used those two to clean off the table because they dont clean the tables off at this location so I had to go back up and ask for another lol it was comical to me at that point. Its a shame because ive been to other locations and have had great service. This place was not it. Servers were mean and I heard the manager yelling. Cutting corners everywhere at this location. If you can go to a different one, I would.

    Love the artwork

    Ok so i forgot food pica bc I mayyyy have been hungover oops Parking: easy to park since it is in a plaza Staff: super nice and helpful in picking out what we wanted on the menu Food: Chicken snadwich: got ours hot and was perfect and tender, juicy. Pickles with it are perfect. Didnt need the extra sauce it came with Chicken bites: also really tender. Flavors: not spicy, spicy, and honey hot. Not spicy was good for the kiddos and wasn't greasy tasting Spicy was maybe little toooo spicy where it stings your tongue but if you like that Hot honey: while good it lost its spicy due to the amount of honey on it. Prob would just stick to hot. Mac n cheese: creamy but has some type of smoky seasoning so if you arent into that just fyi Slaw really good and would get again! Fries right amount of crisp and seasoning All in all a good experience and great for my hangover

    First time trying this place. Got the mild and medium sliders and they tasted the same. They do have an interesting taste not sure what it is the burnt flavor or the burnt spice flavor, not sure. The fries were good and the Dave's sauce. I would try it again. Different spice levels. It was a long wait. About 15 mins. I guess not too bad.

    Let me start by saying I'm a HUGE fan of Dave's Hot Chicken--I've been to the Vegas locations many times and always had a great experience. This was my first time visiting a Phoenix location, and I could definitely tell a difference. The customer service was just okay. The cashier wasn't rude, but also didn't seem very welcoming or friendly. The restaurant was very clean! As always, the chicken itself was delicious. I order the Hot level, and the flavor never disappoints. The chicken portion was generous, but the fries seemed smaller than what I've received at other locations. The chicken slider also felt a bit rushed, with barely any coleslaw and not put together as neatly as I'm used to. Overall, I still love Dave's and will keep coming back for the flavor. I just wish this Phoenix spot kept up the same level of consistency and quality I've come to expect from the Vegas locations.

    I liked the food here! We got Dave's 3 which has both a chicken tender and slider with fries. I appreciate that they have an extensive scale for spice. I got the lite mild which was flavorful but not spicy and my dad got hot which he thought was fairly spicy so it's good for people with different tastes. The chicken tender is crispy and flavorful. I also liked the sauce that came with it. The slider was good- it has slaw, pickles, and sauce on it too. Fries are good and have a little seasoning on them. Portion size is generous. Service was good, they got everything right and the food was warm. A solid halal option.

    I've seen so many people post on social media about how great this place is, blah blah blah. So I finally took the time to come check it out and I've never been more disappointed. One star is for the friendly service. The girl who helped me was super friendly and asked if I had ever been here before and I said no, so she did a little explanation and highlighted some things about Dave's. I placed my order and had a seat. There was a family sitting and a few other people that were waiting. They were relatively quick. When my number was up, the girl (different from the one who took my order) was also friendly and she asked if I wanted any additional sauce and anything else I needed. I ordered the #4 which is just one slider with fries for $9.99. I ordered my chicken in 'Hot' with no slaw. The second star is for the fact that it was hot. It had a nice kick to it, definitely not mild/medium like how some places tone it down. I enjoyed the flavor/spice. But that's where it ends. I waited and for my food supposedly being fresh, why was it soo LUKEWARM?!?! The fries and sandwich despite tasting fresh, had the warmth of sitting there for awhile. Both items were so small too! Like it wasn't a piece of chicken, it was basically a tender that had more bun than chicken. The fries were such a small portion! The fries would have been good if they were at a better temperature. They had a nice seasoning and crisp but were barely warm. Overall, not impressed. I really don't see why I would ever come back for mediocre lukewarm food.

    Came in for lunch on Friday afternoon. It wasn't busy which is good. We did have to wait some time for our food to come out but luckily for me, I had great company. The food was good . The restaurant was clean . You do need a code for the bathroom so make sure to ask the cashier before you head that way.

    I stopped by today with my son to pick up some dinner for the family and we love this place! We were immediately greeted by the employees and the ambiance in here is awesome and colorful! The staff were very friendly! They have a good choice of options. I got the Daves #4 mild with mac and cheese and their mac is pretty darn good! It's very creamy and saucy which I love! My man got Daves #1 Hot with fries - my son got the Dave #1 as well he got mild with fries. We all ate all of ours and left no crumbs! It was sooo good! I ordered it togo and I totally forgot to take pictures before we all started eating when I got home. It smelt sooo good in the truck that I just had to eat it immediately when I got home! Next time I'll take pictures of the food!

    This was my second time eating here. The food was good, but finding a hair in my food completely ruined the experience. It was really disappointing and made me lose my appetite. I understand mistakes can happen, but this is something that should never happen. The restaurant needs to pay much closer attention to cleanliness and food preparation because this was unacceptable.literally disgusting

    Dave's #1 2 Tenders w/ Fries (extra hot and hot)

    I was in the area and decided to try this spot for dinner. I'd heard good things and wasn't sure where the closest location is to me, but since I was across the street I stopped by. It didn't seem too busy with people but there were online orders being prepared as well. Spacious restaurant with lots of seating including outdoors and neat artwork/murals on the walls. I ordered at the counter with the cashier and was given a buzzer. It took about 15 minutes for my food to be ready and I was offered extra Dave's sauce and ketchup at the counter. I grabbed some ketchup packets and was on my way. The chicken tenders were delicious, the extra hot wasn't as spicy as I anticipated but still had good heat to it. The sliced bread was okay, I prefer no bread but it was good after I toasted it. Always enjoy having pickles and there were plentiful. I'm not a fan of the typical hot chicken sauce (usually some sort of aioli, thousand island) so I'll try some but it's not for me. I upgraded to cheese fries ($1.50) and they were good, but not worth the extra cost lol. Overall it was great! I like that they have small chicken bites as well as sliders, nice to have options.

    This place is always good when it comes to a quick chicken craving, whether you'd like to eat sliders or tenders or even the loaded fries, right after ordering once food is ready. The fries are so crispy with the chicken being so juicy and well seasoned. Their shakes are always great. And they're always very efficient when it comes to placing order and getting it almost instantly even when the location is pretty busy orders tend to come out really quick. Today we were helped by Michael and he was a very kind guy very helpful as well as always asking to make sure we had everything we needed. Energy in this place is always a chill hangout spot with music playing and good energy between friends. Always a recommendation here, especially if you're looking for a late night eating.

    My family love this place and has been coming here to eat for a while. My daughter finally convinced me to try it and we went for dinner. I had the fried Cauliflower burger and added cheese. It was sooo delicious. I was very happy. It had cheese, slaw and pickles. I ordered it with no spice as I don't like spicy food. It was so good. The cauliflower had a nice crunch to it. I will definitely be back.

    We were seated right away on a Tuesday afternoon…read more Our server, Livier, and had excellent service! She gave us water and we got to try a couple of the beers before deciding what to order. She further gave us advice on what they are known for, which is pizza and their rotisserie chicken. We ordered the Teuffle cheese bread to start. OMG YUM YUM YUM! We decided to share our entrees. So we ordered the Aviator and black truffle mushroom pizza, a well as the Spicy rigatoni pasta. Holy cows... hold da brakes.... it was all so good. Honestly, everything we experienced today was so excellent from the service to the ambiance to the food. Holy moly, definitely coming back again! Totally recommend this place to anyone who wants excellent service and good quality food. Only thing that could make it better is to give a pie serving utensil to serve the pizza slices on the bread items, but really that ain't going keep me back from returning! It would just be a nice touch since the slices are larger than our knife.

Awesome, except it appears a table spoon and a half of gravy is the Thursday Evening ration. The potstickers? Absolutely rushed. Only one had been browned. More like ordering dumplings from Tevu. Lastly, the truffle pizza. Was eventually delicious. ( thank goodness for air fryers) . Take out. I live 2 minutes away. Pizza soup. Raw dough. Doughbird has not lost my business, but come on. $50.00 for take out dissapointment. Do better!!

    I was absolutely delighted to find this place so close to home! Can't believe I hadn't noticed it…read morebefore. I was browsing Uber Eats for Mediterranean food when I found Golden and realized they had something that looks an awful lot like Khachapuri (here it's on the menu as Aldo). So I abandoned my plans of delivery food and promptly made my way in to eat. We got a solid sampling of the menu: - hummus/foul - Aldo with cheese and an over easy egg (I think their default may be scrambled but they do over easy if you ask!) - stuffed grape leaves - labani + black olive flatbread - kufta with tomato sauce - shawarma chicken wrap Lord above, my heart was so happy. The foul is exceptionally garlicky. Perfectly so. My partner said the hummus was his favorite thing we ordered, and he's a pretty discerning dude! The Aldo was excellent. The grape leaves came out hot, which surprised me, but again - solid! Flatbread? Stellar. Maybe even better the next day. The kufta didn't particularly excite me, but I wasn't the one who ordered it, and my partner was happy. My shawarma wrap? Oh boy, that garlic sauce. They even perfectly portion the innards so your pickles aren't all stuck to one side and the fries to the other. You can have pickles in almost every bite! We also got several desserts to take home. I haven't sampled them yet, but the hazelnut baklava in particular intrigues me. Casual ambiance. Options for booths or tables, inside or outside. I am so thrilled to have found Golden - they'll be a regular spot for me!
