    Chicken
    Loren D.

    Forgot to leave a review in the moment, but this was a great post-concert spot. We rolled in at about midnight after seeing a concert nearby. Even though it was super late, they were super busy, but we still got our food out pretty fast. I will say, I'm not a personal fan of the loud and crazy decor, but they know their audience. The chicken was also super moist and juicy, which is a must, but sometimes hard to come by.

    Clean dining room. Sticky floors.

    This is the late night hangout spot. I'm so glad that they're open so late. I have come a few times in groups around 10 or 11 and we stay a while. There is also lots of parking. The food is great! I can smash a whole plate by myself, and you get a lot of food. I like the mild and medium spices.

    The loaded Mac and cheese was quite good. Great balance of Mac, fries, and chicken bites. Chicken slider was solid. Loved the bun but not the biggest overall fan of Nashville style chicken.

    Service is always excellent through drive through! Haven't ordered or eaten inside yet! Also food is always hot and delicious!

    It's been a little while since I stopped by here again. We ordered the Dave's #2 which comes with two sliders, and fries. We subbed the fries for Mac & cheese since we also ordered a regular size Dave's loaded fries. Food came out quickly, hot and fresh. Flavors were good like usual. Big piece of juicy chicken with the slider.

    It's a good place to get a quick bite to eat. We came to her as my friend hasn't tried them out yet. He ordered the 2 piece tender meal, and I had the tender and slider meal. The person working the counter was nice to us while we figured out what we wanted. The food came out pretty quick, which was nice.

    Awesome place. Consistently amazing every single time. I'm not sure what kind of ingredients they use but this place is highly addicting and I cannot get enough!

    easily the best fast food spot in portland. this location is extra special bc: a drive thru ;) best late night snack: fries and a large vanilla shake open til 1am! 2am fri/sat! unheard of in pdx chicken sliders = perfect comfort meal literally BEST MILKSHAKE EVER folks who work here = always friendly. their prices are soo reasonable. go here!

    We decided to order the reaper sliders. We thought they would be much spicier than they were. The chicken overall was really tasty and we would totally return. The service was probably the best part of our experience...we wanted to change the order after it had already been placed and the staff was more than happy to help. The location is also convenient since there's parking.

    Nothing , really

    Chicken tenders 6 ways . But with thigh meat . That's why it's so juicy . My order of two tenders , fries , and a slice of bread was spendy . The ghetto art work inside is kinda a turn off. To me , there is better chicken elsewhere in PDX.

    The #Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries had little man setup right...
    Terrance S.

    My son is a huge fan. I'm basing this off of his experience. Portions look healthy and very well seasoned. He went with Medium spice and seemed to truly enjoy it. The slider is much more than a slider as the strip looked more the size of pelican than chicken. You won't go hungry stopping by here. He also wanted a chocolate shake as well. Dave's seems like an overall crowd pleaser.

    Hands down. Best chicken sandwich I've had in a while! The chicken is crispy and fresh! I love how the meals are packed uppp in the box. The seating area outside is amazing! I ordered the slider, but received the single tender by accident. I had to go back in to get that slider that I ordered and the service was okay. It wasn't welcoming and they told me that'll work on my slider and to keep the single tender & to sit down; they'll let me know once it's finished. I waited for a longg time & went up to find out it was already finished with no announcement of it being ready. I guess they forgot, which was a bit frustrating but despite that, FOOD WAS GREAT.

Pictured is a "half pound of brisket" for $23.00 and 60%-70% of it is just inedible fat! What was edible (3.4 ounces), was honestly disgusting and looks nothing like the photos they show online, as you can see for yourself. $11.00 for a cup of sour smelling banana pudding that was immediately tossed in the trash. $4.00 for a "chicken breast" that was literally 2 bites... This is the second and last time we will ever order from them again. I have never been more disappointed in an order of food in my entire life. We spent over $70 for the brisket as shown, a small salad with 2 bites of chicken, soggy coleslaw and sour banana pudding. Beyond unacceptable! Never again and truly hope this saves someone else from the disappointment that Reverend's BBQ truly is. Complete waste of money! Edit: It has been about 45 minutes since I ate what little of the brisket that was actually meat and not just fat, and I am extremely nauseous. Not worth the money, disappointment or naseau. Just looking at the photo alone, I wonder why I even tried eating it. Absolutely disgusting.

You can find parking on the street or there's a lot to the left of the restaurant just across the street. Side note, if you're wanting to go on Juneteenth, make a reservation! It fills up quickly.

    BEST MEAL IN PORTLAND!!!!!…read more Saw this place randomly while looking for a place to eat after a long flight. It was late and not many places were open. This place was closed but a middle eastern place that serves cheesecake was soo intriguing that i knew i needed to come back. Came back Saturday night and they had no tables and was packed. However, they tried to accommodate us so much. However, the night was in our favor. As we started to order take out, a lady was kind enough to give up her table since she was eating alone. It was a small table for 3 people but the staff was sooo accommodating i have no words. They even gave free dessert to the lady who was kind. Then luck would have it, the table next to us never showed up for their reservation so they gave us that table. Finally, we ordered. Turned out, i also got the last shawarma too. Everything happens for a reason! We also got the Saudi chicken kabsa and cheesecakes. The biggest compliment i can give is when the food came, none of us talked for a good 5-7 mins and just sat there in heaven eating. The flavors were soo unique but yet so familiar. If this is Saudi food, i have been missing out. I need to explore more sub categories of middle eastern cuisine. Best bites in Portland for us and that's all i have to describe our experience. Finally, got the Nutella cheesecake and almond caramel cheesecake. I have to say, Nutella was good but easily a skip compared to almond and caramel. Just get 2 of those and you'll be happy. The cakes itself are light and not heavy. They were great end to a great meal. This is a family owned but family loved business. You can see the love as they serve their guests but you can taste the love too. The people are soo sweet and kind and just want to serve you. Please give your love here, because if i lived in Portland, this would my weekly spot.

The atmosphere was lively and I loved the industrial, modern decor. I went on a busy Friday night and was sat right at my reservation time. Our server was personable and friendly. They had a small mocktail selection with creative options. I went with the "worth a chai", which was spicy, sweet, and tangy. The tasting menu was $75 each for two people and we got a total of 9 dishes and left full and with leftovers. Not one dish wasn't delicious and I enjoyed how each dish had an unexpected flavor or textural element to keep things interesting. All the ingredients felt fresh and the dishes were bright in color and taste. Despite the larger quantity of food, the meal overall felt well- balanced, healthy, and not too heavy or decadent. I keep thinking about the hamachi crudo that came with this amazing smoky eggplant that complemented the vinaigrette on the fish perfectly. The radicchio salad was addictingly good with the fruity burst of sweetness from the cherries. The hummus is insanely rich and pairs well with the thick, fluffy pita. I could keep going on about each dish, but these were my absolute standouts. I especially appreciated the timing of the dishes. New dishes came out right as we were finishing the last.

We started with the Labneh & Confit Butternut Squash. It was fine, but not my favorite dish of the night. The labneh was more like Greek yogurt than cheese, which isn't a bad thing, but I would have liked a little more saltiness. The Harissa Spice Shrimp, on the other hand, was fantastic. Definitely the standout item we actually ordered. The Baked Eggplant was good too, although it didn't quite wow me. I think there was some mix up, as we were first served the Roasted Eggplant Dip. We flagged the server down to say it wasn't what we ordered, but they let us keep it. Boy were we happy about this! It was the best dish of the night (and a must reorder). The pita to go with the Labneh and the Dip was excellent too. Piping hot and just right.

The hummus tasted incredibly fresh, the tzatziki had a nice tangy kick, and the falafel balls were perfectly crispy and flavorful. For my main, I ordered the chicken breast kabob plate, which came with two skewers, rice, tzatziki, and garlic sauce. The chicken was incredibly tender and cooked just right. Overall, a great meal with fresh, flavorful food and a relaxed atmosphere. I can definitely see why my family keeps coming back--this spot is well worth a visit.
