    Boxs for mozzarella sticks
    Leticia S.

    As a disclaimer, this was my first time trying Dave's hot chicken. The chicken was good but salty. The mozzarella sticks were nasty and salty. Overall that was my first and last time eating there. The service was amazing. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. They answered all my questions. They should have told me not to get the mozzarella sticks. The ambiance was nice.

    I usually always stop at this location when in sparks, it's always delicious. When i went just a few days ago i was disappointed, the chicken was very very flavorless and i ordered hot, the fries were overcooked, and the cauliflower (that they forgot at first) was really hard. The staff was super nice and helpful, they took care of the missing cauliflower and gave us a discount on our purchase. I'm not sure what was going on the day i visited but i would usually recommend this place!

    Chicken was amazing! The flavor is incredible, the spice actually has a real kick to it, and the fries are seasoned perfectly. The restaurant is huge inside with amazing artwork throughout, which gives it a really cool atmosphere. The staff was also super nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend!

    I came here for the first time with my son. I didn't know what to expect as I have never been here. I let the girl at the counter know it was my first time and she wasn't helpful at all. No suggestions. Didn't explain anything so I just ordered. I got a chicken sandwich and my son got tenders. We felt like we didn't get the right experience because they give you honey and their signature sauce which I didn't know came with the meal. She asked me if I wanted a side of ranch so I said yes because I didn't know it came with sauces on the side already. The ranch was extra and I didn't end up using it. I ended up eating the sandwich as it was until my son saw the honey and told me to try it with it. The honey made the whole thing come together. I wish the girl at the counter was more informative. She could have explained that most people eat it with honey. She could have explained they come with a signature sauce so ranch wasn't needed. Overall the food was ok. Service was ok. The place itself is spacious and clean. It's located in the legend outlet mall.

    I've been struggling with this place I've gone there three times already and the first time i went everything was delicious it was so good the amount of ingredients was perfect. But unfortunately the past two times I've gone my order was incorrect had to go back and tell them what was wrong then my husband came back home with an order and it still just wasn't the same as to what I was wanting/asking for. And again we went this past weekend on Sunday and I asked for extra sauce we took a look at it before we left and i was like perfect i got the correct order but didn't realize I didn't get my extra sauce that I paid extra for. I'm highly disappointed with this place and I honestly don't think I would go back anymore. To make things worse i saw a few pieces of coleslaw on my plate and the extra dave's sauce you do see is from me putting it on there but I asked for both extra nacho cheese and extra dave's.

    Tried today 2/28/26. It was ok. Wasn't bad. Mac n cheese was a bit watery. Fries were ok. Sauce was good. Not sure I'll come back

    Their slushies are good and the chicken had a nice flavor. Will be back to try the mozz sticks!

    Dave's Hot Chicken in Sparks is easy to find, tucked in the Legends shopping area with plenty of parking. It's right off the main road, so getting there is quick and straightforward. Inside, the vibe is fun and colorful with bold murals on the walls and a casual, open layout. It's bright, a little loud in a good way, and feels like the kind of place you can just hang out without worrying about being too formal. We all went for the sliders. The chicken had a dry rub that gave it a nice kick, but even the "hot" level wasn't too hot, just enough spice to keep things interesting without making you sweat. The meat stayed juicy inside with a perfect crispy coating, and the soft buns, crunchy slaw, and pickles balanced it out perfectly. The crinkle-cut fries were seasoned just right and paired well with the sliders. Service was fast and friendly from the moment we walked in. Our food came out hot and fresh in what felt like just a few minutes, and everyone we interacted with was upbeat and welcoming. It made the whole meal even better.

    CRAZY DS IS BETTER Now listen folks, Dave's has the image and branding down. However the flavor tastes as good as fast food. It's nothing special etc. The customer service was amazing. However if i'm in the scheels shopping center I think chick fil a is my go to chicken place for price and flavor. As far as our local chain crazy ds is so much better. The flavor isn't comparable, crazy ds marinates their chicken and they make their pickles homemade as well as most other things. THE GOD DAMN SAUCE. I'd legitimately replace all my white blood cells with crazy ds sauce so when i tried dave's sauce i was ready for nothing. It was whatever. Chick fila is better and Crazy ds is so much better for similar style and location. Response: You're a big corporate chain, you can't do much about flavor. I rather just go to my local Nashville style chicken. The customer service and setup was great. I'm definitely feeling that chat gbt wrote your response adding to the flavorless corporate chain narrative. It wasn't bad but it's being placed against way better options like Crazy Ds and chick fil a. I don't see myself wanting this again.

    Really enjoyed Dave's Hot Chicken in Sparks. Loved the space and vibe, and the service was super fast. The chicken was good, and I appreciated the honey on the side to balance the heat. Solid spot when you're in the mood for hot chicken and want something quick and easy and affordable.

    Cup of Pickles and Side of Dave's Sauce

    As a vegetarian, I will admit to being curious about all these delicious chicken sandwiches that are out these days. Well, Dave's got us veggie people covered. The breaded part of the cauliflower sandwich is so crispy and not at all greasy. I got the mild sauce. The bun? So darn good. Soft, tasty and literally hugs the contents when you squish it a little to take that first bite. The dipping sauce for the fries has a little spicy-sour kick to it and the fries are somewhere close to crispy, but still soft. The extra cup of pickles is surprisingly zingy--spicy, salty, so delish. While I tend to get this to go more often than not, I have sat inside twice. And the atmosphere is clean and has plenty of tables and chairs. The bathrooms are also very clean.

    I was heading to Popeyes ( their wings) but thought I'd check these guys out. First time ... we'll see .... Cashier welcoming and I asked how "hot" was their "hot" chicken and she stated HOT. So I didn't want to tempt faith; although I like a little heat wanted to try and enjoy their chicken for the first time. Chicken bites (nuggets) - no spice - tasty considering no sauce and very moist ! - rate a 5 (five) They look "burnt" or overcooked ?!? but they're not. Very thin or minimal batter which I prefer. When ordering asked what other sides I could get besides regular fries and was told cheese fries, mac & cheese etc., however I wasn't told about the up-charge. (Counter Rate 2) Bites (Nuggets) $7.99 with fries $10.99 (not worth $3) with cheese another $1.50 (not informed about) (Pricing rate 1) Ordered a shake - very small for $5.49; although cup was coldish - shake (itself) the temp to me was room temp. It wasn't one of those that you take your first sip and it's so cold you have to wait. (Shake rate 1) Waiting by the pick up counter and thought I would ask worker - "since I ordered no spice could I get a little of the hot sauce on the side so I could try it (heat)?" She handed me Dave's sauce which I believe is the dipping sauce. Although I wanted to try the "hot" sauce; maybe the batter is where the heat is. Overall experience wasn't great but will try again with someone who can eat "hot" just incase it's too hot for me the food doesn't go to waste. (Overall rating 3)

    If you like hot fried chicken this is a must try! First time trying Dave's hot chicken and was really impressed! The chicken is perfectly seasoned and has really good flavor. I ordered hot and it was perfect not too spicy where it was overbearing but overall excellent! The service was pretty quick, even with them being very busy. I would say the inside of the location was very clean the restrooms not so much so but that's a given for how busy they were. I will definitely be back because how good the food tasted!

    Greetings my little festerlings!…read more When Jersey Mike's was first introduced into my area, years back, I wasn't really too excited. Figured it to be another fad restaurant that would slowly fade away (like 5 guys should..yuk!). Not really a big sandwich person most of the tme. But I still remember my first time walking into one. It was my first visit where I knew I had it all wrong! I ate there a bunch of times after, because I worked in the same strip mall. Next to Hello Deli which is located in Vista California, and Quiznos, Jersey Mike's is the best sub shop out there! So first I'll say, I haven't had Jersey Mike's in a couple of years at least, and I was delighted to realize that my points have never expired! Matter of fact, after my purchase today, I already have an upcoming reward. So let's get to the review of this particular location by Scheels. I came in on a Sunday around 2 O'Clock or so, and they were pretty busy. Most of the tables taken by eager patrons. Two girls behind the counter and one guy behind the flat top. After using the restroom to wash my hands because I've been working with chemicals (which was clean for the most part) I got in line to make my order. I only had one girl in front of me and then two more customers behind me. I don't understand everyone's angst with the amount of time that it takes. I mean they have to slice the meat and cheese, it's not like walking into 7-Eleven and grabbing one of those rat sandwiches from the bunker fridge. So yeah it took a little bit of time, But I'm not in a hurry, not like I have an appointment with the president or something today. The first girl got my order started. I ordered a giant number 13 with roast beef. She started on two customers sandwiches that were in line behind me. Yes, efficient for them, and no I didn't mind. Now I've been told I have sort of an intimidating presence. The next girl who finished assembling my sandwich was either slightly disorganized, new or maybe nervous. I had to ask her a few times for the same things on my sandwich, and it seemed like she was trying to rush me through because she got immediately to the juice and was about to button my sandwich up when I had to ask her for mayonnaise and relish. But she pulled it through and got it done, got my sandwich, took it home and ate half, and willl probably eat the other half today. I think my total time in line was maybe 10 minutes? Anyhow, the sandwich was great, I got a freebie coming up, and it was nice to have a Jersey Mike's sub after all these years. I'm sure I'll be back again sometime! ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

    When visiting Reno, I highly encourage anyone that is looking for a delightful and relaxing lunch…read morespot to definitely check out "Süp". Located directly on S. Virginia St and adjacent to St. Lawrence Ave in the heart of the Midtown neighborhood of Reno, Süp has served up delicious and healthy sandwiches, salads, and soups dating back to 2007. This place has been on my radar for quite some time and I finally got to experience what it was all about. Since this is in a fairly busy commercial part of town, it can be a bit tricky to find parking. However, we were able to park only a block away and this was during the afternoon on Thursday 7/2/2026 at around 12:15pm. After making the short way to the business, I absolutely loved the exterior aesthetics and layout were represented. The business itself mimics a house complete with a large front patio area that actually snakes around to the side of the house for the more comfortable Reno days. The wooden tables with plastic chairs and covered tents to shield off the sun were a very nice touch. The inside also offers very generous indoor seating complete with ample space for a single person, a couple, or a family. Their menu are digitally presented on LED TVs complete with some of their specials that are handwritten on a chalkboard. My lady and I both decided to order sandwiches to get our fuel and energy for the day. I went with their "Char-Grilled Steak Baguette"; this came complete with their bistro steak drizzled with chimichurri sauce and topped with caramelized onions, New York white cheddar & sharp cheddar cheese and served on a cheddar poppy seed baguette. My lady went with their "Reno Deli"; this offered salami, pepperoncini & pesto layered with spinach, tomatoes, provolone cheese, and aioli on toasted sourdough bread. Both of our sandwiches came with a side house salad. Once given our number (we got Tahoe St), we decided to sit outside and take full advantage of the weather (as it was a perfect 78°F). What I particularly like is that the ambiance is the perfect vibe for daydreaming, people watching, and enjoying the simplicity that a city like Reno offers. Both our sandwiches arrived in roughly 10 minutes and were presented on white porcelain plates. My sandwich was made to perfection as the cheddar baguette securely held the fillings quite nicely. There was a lot of seasoned steak as the other sauces were not too overpowering. And considering the size of this, it got me quite full as I wasn't hungry until much later in the day. I will say that if you're looking for a reputable small business that offers healthy fresh ingredients, excellent customer service, amazing ambiance in a very desirable area of Reno, I highly recommend giving "Süp" a try. Their selection of salads, sandwiches, bowls, and soups are all wonderful choices as they focus on farm-fresh ingredients. And if time allows, I highly encourage everyone to eat here as I felt right at home during my 45-minute stay. Keep in mind that they are closed on Sunday but are open Monday through Saturday from 11am-9pm. With that said and done, I am giving Süp a perfect five-star review.

    It had been WAY too long since I'd been to Sup when a friend and I stopped in for a bite the other…read morenight. Holy WOW, it was so nice to be reminded what good, clean, locally produced food really tastes like. With all our chains becoming "Syscoized" and all tasting the same now, local flavor is so critical. Owners Casey & Christian have NEVER abandoned their mission, vision, values, or promise to this community and I, for one, appreciate it now more than ever. I had the reuben with side salad and cup of broccoli cheese soup. All so fresh, flavorful, and high quality. I'm planning to go back again this week and can't wait! Hope to see ya there!

We had time since we were just running errands to have a quick bite so we walked in. We were greeted upon entering. It's a cute little space and I looked over and saw two men working very hard and quickly in the kitchen. The gentleman that took our order was friendly enough. I ordered a Korean cheese corn dog with ketchup, mustard and sugar, an order of dumplings, pickled radishes, a plain croffle, and two drinks. That ran us about $24 with tax, it was a very affordable meal. I didn't want to push it and over order. I did want to try their popcorn chicken and wings. I ordered based solely on my cravings today and I was not disappointed. The food was delicious. I loved being able to order pickled radishes, that was a refreshing addition to my meal. I can't wait to come back. My son enjoyed his croffle and asked if when I bring him to get his haircut if we could stop by more often. We are already looking forward to our next meal!

    Sorry late review (2 weeks ago 1/14/26)…read more First time trying this place--such a cute little restaurant with about 4-5 tables. There was only one other couple dining in, and it was their first time as well. The owner was very pleasant, and it seems he and his brother also do the cooking, which gave the place a nice family-run feel. I ordered the 16-piece combo ($30) with two sides, which allowed me to try four different flavors. I went with two of their more popular options--Soy Garlic and Sweet & Spicy--along with K-Soy and Galbi. I really enjoyed the two sides; I chose the potato salad and mandu (dumplings). I definitely want to go back to try their popcorn chicken, popcorn tofu, and the croffle dessert. They also have a cute self-serve station with water, wipes, and utensils, which was a nice touch.
