    Huge portions
    Kerri C.

    Well I was so excited for Dave's hot chicken in Springfield, Oregon to finally open. It felt like forever, watching the building being built. Then it took forever for the concrete to be poured. Then the parking stripes. We would drive by every day just to see if there was a sign saying open. By now you've already figured out, that me and my husband love chicken! I would say we are chicken connoisseurs. I felt the ambience there was super upbeat and friendly. It was bright and energetic. The staff was outgoing and made sure they came to our table to check on us not once, but twice. I loved their Customer Service. Very on top of every detail. I did find the chicken not as I expected. It was far spicier than I anticipated. Now that might be my fault. I should've probably read the reviews about the spice level. Be careful when you order or you will burn your lips off. The fries were the best fries I've had in ages! I try not to have fries too often because I used to have an addiction to them. I gave them up for almost 2 years, but at Dave's, I found myself ordering fries with my chicken tenders. I wish I wouldn't have done that because now I think about those fries every day! Please try Dave's Hot Chicken in Springfield, Oregon but I'm warning you to possibly look into the spice level and where you'd like to be. Probably might be more on the mild side. I'm never into dipping sauces. I like my chicken just simply chicken. But for some reason, I tested out the chicken sauce that comes with every chicken order. That was superb! I don't even want to know what the calorie range was for something so creamy and delicious. I can't figure out what it was made of, but it definitely was worth it for whatever calories it is. I wish I would've taken a picture for you, but I was so hungry. We ate it way too fast. After we were cleaning up, I thought boy that Chicken was so pretty. I should've taken a picture. Enjoy the Dave's Hot Chicken in Springfield, Oregon. Springfield, definitely needed a new fresh vibrant restaurant in this town.

    The tenders are crunchy, meaty, and delicious-medium spice is nice. Good service. Ambiance-it's a chicken restaurant, so don't expect a lot of it. Fries-yum! Mac & cheese is creamy-another place to get Mac and cheese. Pickles aren't bad. But there's one thing I love with tenders-where is the ranch? I love my ranch dressing! We need a ranch dressing that is savory! The Dave's sauce isn't bad, but it's not ranch.

    The drive through was... is so slow I'm writing this in the line. I have never been through a line this slow. I sure hope the food makes up for it. I would have just gone inside.

    Single Slider - Hot

    Got the hot single slider and it was so good we ate it in the parking lot and pulled straight through the drive thru to get another one. Was helped by Lucas originally and he was exceptionally nice and helped us with deciding what we wanted. Military discount is 50% off so that means order more! It's well worth it. When we went back through the drive thru was helped by Bree and Vincent and they were very nice helpful and funny. Great experience overall, I live 2 hours away and it's so good I'm willing to make the drive once a week just to get this chicken. Amazing seasoning and great spice level if you're a spicy food connoisseur.

    The service was absolutely phenomenal! The first time my boyfriend and I visited this location we ordered through the mobile app. I was planning on making a Pickup order and simply going through the drive-thru to pick it up... (Similar to McDonalds and how their app works) Shoutout to Venus for giving us a wonderful experience during the order process! She was AMAZING!!

    Customer Service was great! Front counter employee was very kind and came around and asked how our food was. The food was delicious. Thanks Dave's Hot Chicken. I'll be back!

    First time at Dave's. I'm a believer! Great food and great value. A single slider was more than enough food for a quick lunch.

    We had heard about this Syrian restaurant in Corvallis (we live in Eugene) and had been meaning to…read morego there for dinner with friends, but it just never seemed to gel. Then, on a trip to the Oregon coast, we happened to be going through Corvallis at lunchtime and decided to stop. We are SO glad we did. All of the other Yelp reviews said it was really good, but few mentioned any specific dish. Except for the hummus, which received off-the-chart good reviews. So we tried the Lamb Hummus dish as well as the Musakhan Rolls, which is a chicken with caramelized onions wrapped in fresh grilled bread. Both were excellent with some notes. The Musakhan Rolls said they come with a garlic sauce. The sauce was excellent, but tasted more like a tart yogurt/sour cream sauce to us. Not a strong garlic flavor. The lamb in the hummus was also very good, but kind of bland. We love lamb when it is prepared well (we usually only order from a Middle Eastern restaurant) and this was prepared perfectly. We just felt it could stand a little more flavor or spice. However, the hummus. Oh. My. Word. The hummus. All of those off-the-chart reviews were spot on. The hummus had to be the best hummus we have ever had in our lives. And we eat a variety of foods from a variety of places. It was the perfect amount of garlic and so creamy, we actually used our fingers to wipe the bowl and get that last remaining bits of the hummus. Our service was excellent. It is family-owned and our server was very pleasant and hospitable. The inside is decorated in what appears to be Syrian decor and is nicely done. Now we have to connect with our friends and go back sometime soon for dinner. Yumm!

    If you ever find yourself in Eugene with a rumbling stomach, do yourself a favor and stop by Ta Ra…read moreRin. I went in expecting a quick bite and left wondering if I should cancel my flight and commit to a long-term relationship with their menu. The service was the kind that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit: attentive without hovering, friendly without forcing it. You know, the sweet spot most places miss by a mile. The ambiance strikes that rare balance: polished enough to feel like you made a good decision, but relaxed enough that no one's judging you for aggressively enjoying your curry. Now, the portions. Let's just say I arrived hungry and quickly realized I had made a tactical error by also having a flight to catch. The plates are generous. Borderline ambitious. Under different circumstances I would've happily taken half of it home. And the price? Genuinely refreshing. You get high-quality food, generous portions, and excellent service without that subtle sting of regret when the bill arrives. It feels almost suspiciously reasonable. I walked in trying to kill time before a flight and walked out wondering if I should start scheduling layovers in Eugene on purpose.

    I had high expectations at this restaurant because the reviews on Yelp and local people raved how…read moreamazing this place is. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and the restaurant was bustling. We got seated right away at a booth with a window view. My waitress was an older Asian lady. She was very nice, not too talkative, but she was on top of her things. I was craving soup and decided on the highly recommended tom kha with tofu. To start, we had thai tea, thai coffee and the shrimp triangle. For our entrees, we decided on the pad see eu (they spell it pad se eu here), panang curry. The shrimp triangles were very yummy. Definitely get those. The thai tea and coffee was good, but just a little watered. I expected the taste to last in my mouth for a little bit. But it didn't. For the soup, I was excited to taste the soup! It smelled really good and it was boiling hot. My thought after my first sip of Tom Kha was, ok, this is good, they got it, but it just wasn't quite there. I couldn't pinpoint what was missing. Then I figured out that they didn't use full coconut milk. It was just a little bit and it was the lighter version. How disappointing! I wanted the robust tang, spice and coconut like how I have at home. The entrees made me sad. I really, really wanted to love it. The panang curry should be rich, thick and creamy. Instead it was soupy. I was really expecting and wanting the curry to stick to my rice, but instead it made soupy curry rice. My daughter pointed out that the curry and the tom kha soup was the same color and consistency. I didn't want to believe, but I think they used the same base and added the appropriate toppingss and seasonings to make a soup and a curry. My saddest dish was my last one that came out. It was the pad se eu. The wide rice noodles was wet and in broken pieces. I'm Asian and I'm from Vegas via Hawaii which means we have a lot of Asian cuisines, we know our food and have friends who work in high end Thai restaurants. (Think Lotus of Siam) When rice noodles break into smaller pieces, it means the noodles are probably not fresh and got hard. To soften, the cook used extra water and the heat was not high enough to cook, so it stuck to pan, making the cook mix it around more...broken wet noodles that doesn't brown. Overall, I really wanted to love this place. It has potential. Maybe it was an off day but on that day I went, it didn't give me the wow I expected. Most of the items has the taste on point. Please don't water down the curry or use lower fat coconut cream. I'm not used to having regular brocolli in thai food either, but I guess this is what Eugene likes or what we can get. And people, share your food! Thai food is family style! Share it! Put it in the middle of the table and let the other person have some! I was people watching around my table and my table was the only one that didn't have our own entree per person. lol
