    The #3
    Kezia W.

    I have to update my original review and am now giving 5 stars. I guess I just really like the hot seasoning a lot better than the not hot one. The food was delicious, filling, and fun. The person I ate with loved their food. It took 30 minutes to get our order, which is kind of a long wait for fast food, but it was worth. The ambiance is fine- nothing to get excited about. The covered outdoor seating area is a nice option.

    This is the larger Dave's Mac with chicken wtf is this bs 11 dollars for what dam near nothing

    Hair found in  Top-Loaded Spicy Buffalo Mac

    The Dave's #3
    Benjamin M.

    I like some heat with my food, but I don't seek it out intentionally, so that probably affected my experience here. This place was busy but service was very friendly and quick! It is decorated very brightly with cool lighting. The menu is simple, and I decided to try "Hot" as my spice level, and I went with one slider and one tender, otherwise known as the "Dave's #3." The food came out fast. The chicken was juicy, but the spice seemed just one note to me: heat. It didn't really have much in the way of flavor. The spice rub was almost bitter, if I had to say it had a flavor besides the heat. I liked the Dave's sauce, it was a nice counterpoint to the spice: rich and creamy. The bread that came with the tender was an afterthought. I don't know if it was supposed to be toasted, but mine wasn't. The slide bun was nice, if a little small in relation to the chicken. The slaw was okay, but there wasn't a lot of it. The pickles were fine. So, the chicken itself was nice, but I wasn't a huge fan of the spice coating. The fries were okay. I may come back and try a lower level of spiciness. I'm giving this place 4 stars because of the chicken itself and the very friendly service. Just heat with not a lot of other flavors just isn't my favorite thing.

    The slider and tender on side
    Terrence M.

    Order: Slider w/ 1 tender ad frys (medium) Pros: the food was decent but not amazing. The mild sauce isnt hot at all if you're trying to gauge the spice level. The manager was super nice. I ordered my food and paid. I asked if it came with a drink and she said no but she gave me a cup anyways and said it was on her! The decor inside is dope! I love graffiti! Cons: I'm not sure I understand the concept of the slider, and then the chicken tender on the side with a piece of bread. It doesnt make a lot of sense lol.

    Bun with "coleslaw"

    Not worth the $75 sliders. The spice was like eating a powder keg of cayenne. We like spicy but this just tasted cheap. The coleslaw was non existent, as you can see from the photo there are two strings of cabbage and that's it. Disappointing and shady that they advertise this coleslaw at all.

    Food was super hot and delicious! They loaded us up on fries too which was good. Server was polite and friendly the entire time.

    Two piece tenders medium spice
    Barbara C.

    Talk about an explosion of flavour! I had the two piece tenders, medium heat. Perfect amount of spice for me. The chicken was juicy, hot, fresh cooked and delicious! The fries were hot and crispy. So yum! I definitely recommend this restaurant.

    #Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries only $9.99!

    Well hot damn, I'm a fan! The first bite was a rush of paprika explosion followed by tangy sweetness with a tad of spice. The French fries were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of crunch on the outside. I loved how my Togo box was neatly packed with making it easy to not make a mess eating from the car. The slider came with a side of delicious pickle slices and an extra side of sauce. This was my first time to ever try this place and I will for sure be back to try more. They had a wide range of spice level to choose from, I went with medium but next time I'll get it even more spicy. Friendly and fast service with excellent food, 5 stars in my opinion. The outside has very neat art on the walls, I'll have to go inside next time.

    Sliders are more like full size sandos!!
    Ashley Rose S.

    Our whole family LOVEs Dave's hot chicken! The food is bomb, the environment is chill (indoor and outdoor seating, clean, lots of light, cool graffiti everywhere) and awesome service. They take care of their military service members and we appreciate them! Always a perfect lunch when out and shopping. It's always a win to find a place that the kids enjoy too!

    Good chicken and sides...as expected. The wait in the drive-thru was shorter than expected too. Watch your six Chick-fil-A

    Never disappoints. A must have if you've never tried it before. Different levels of spiciness for the chicken.

    Kelli H.

    Customer service was good but there were at least 4-5 people behind the counter waiting to do something. But the young lady did help with the differences in heat levels. Inside artwork was creative and eye catching. Food was cooked well. Spices were overpowering and unexpected especially on the fries. Be sure to ask for an additional house sauce as only one is added to meal. I was not wowed with the overall meal. May be a one and done type of experience.

    Juicy flavorful chicken and worth the price! The medium has a nice spicy dry rub and yet produces a moist chicken.

    Cashier, Francis was rude when we ask for extra sauce. Closing the window and trying to ignoring us. Try hiring people who want to work

    Driven past Alberto's for years and finally decided to stop in. After seeing it so many times…read morewithout trying it, I went in more curious than expectant. I left pleasantly surprised. My first impression was positive. The establishment was clean, brightly colored, and filled with natural light. The dining area is relatively small, with a modest number of tables and chairs, but it felt comfortable rather than cramped. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming. The employees were friendly, and the service was notably fast without feeling rushed. I ordered the chicken burrito for $8.99, genuinely unsure what that price point would translate to in size or quality. The answer was immediate. This was a substantial burrito, roughly 10 inches long, and packed from end to end with filling. Not one of those burritos that gives the illusion of size but turns out to be mostly tortilla. Once opened, the cross-section told the story clearly: generous meat, a good mix of fresh ingredients, and a burrito that looked thoughtfully assembled rather than carelessly thrown together. The flavor matched the appearance. It was hearty, satisfying, and exactly what one hopes for in a burrito. The chicken was flavorful, the ingredients worked well together, and nothing about it felt skimpy. The tortilla had a light browning to it, which added both texture and visual appeal. Just as important, it was wrapped exceptionally well. For a burrito this full, that matters. It held together while eating, keeping the filling where it belonged rather than turning into a mess halfway through. Another detail worth mentioning was the sauce selection. Having multiple options from mild to hot allowed for some customization, and they were worth sampling. They added another layer to the meal rather than feeling like an afterthought. What stood out most was the overall value. Quality, quantity, speed, and price do not always align this well, but here they did. For $8.99, the portion was generous, the food was flavorful, and the service was efficient. Add in the fact that Alberto's is open 24 hours a day, and it becomes even more appealing. In the end, what impressed me most was not simply the size of the burrito, but the fact that the entire experience felt solid across the board: clean setting, friendly staff, fast service, fair pricing, and food that delivered. After driving past this place for years, I can say it was worth finally stopping in. I would return.

    Stopped by here as a pit stop & a must by my friends as they road trip south on the 5 frequently!…read moreThe menu (so affordable too!) is such a delicious experience reading the menu options as well how you can have them prepared for you. We had the california and oregon burrito toasted, w the additional options to have the guac & sour cream within the burrito. It was so nicely prepared and dense! A huge portion - it looked like I barely made a dent in it, it was impressive! lol Service is great, the salsa bar was fun, especially a girl that likes things w spice. Restrooms are out back w a key. The vibe is vibrant and familiar which is always welcomed too :)

    The server was phenomenal, great attendance. She even offered extra ranch. However, man the food?…read moreNever get the chicken and waffles. That thing was horrific. One bite- all breading no chicken, and burnt up. One bite- the whole thing falls apart and you're left with chicken meat that's half the size of what you ordered. The waffles? Mixed with sawdust, that thing was dryer than the Gobi Dessert. Horrid food, would not reccomend at all. The fries were solid though, I just can't in good conscience rate it anymore than a 1 due to the horrid chicken and waffles.

    I tried this place at The Yard Food Park in Salem, Oregon. I was blown away by the flavor profile…read morein the sandwich I tried. It was the spicy chicken (don't quote me on the name). It showed 2 chili peppers beside it to show the strength of hotness. To me it was maybe 1 chili pepper. The size of the sandwich was amazing. I was truly expecting a smaller sandwich in comparison to most others but I was wrong. I gave this place 5 stars. The customer service was superb and the wait was well worth it for the flavor that came from the meal. The atmosphere and ambiance at the yard was a laid back and welcoming. I strongly advise trying out this place if your in the mood for some good wings or chicken sandwiches. Fries or tots as a choice for sides and what I would call smothered fries. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.
