i know this had a 5-star review, but i don't know what the hell happened here. usually they had both in person and online orders on point so i dont know if this was just an off day or someone in the kitchen cobbled my order together without caring. i ordered a regular loaded mac & cheese and one of the new fried mozz sliders off their app and i got a loaded fry with a little bit of macaroni (no cheese) and a bare mozarella stick, both with barely ANY sauce. i appreciate the service, but whoever in the back did me dirty, you gotta go man

The food’s great! I think its best hot chicken sandwich we’ve tried in the area. We tried it for the first time last Saturday and went back today again, within a week! Only disappointment today was that the slider’s cole slaw was so little on our to-go order.. it wasnt like this last week when we tried it at the restaurant. Still willing to go back though!

My first time at this (Fairfax) Dave's HC. The Dave's Bites had very little flavor, but I did ask for no spice, perfect for kids. As for my Chicken Slider, this sandwich was amazing; chicken was juicy, soon the saltiness and the spices hit my tongue, with a hint of curry, followed by a little heat. The crinkle fries were crispy on the outside and soft in the center, very satisfying. Our plates also came with stacks of crunchy pickle slices and a dipping sauce.

Flavorful juicy and tender pieces of chicken. We often don't eat fast foods but we thought we would give this place a try. We tried the sliders and the tenders. When you think of sliders you assume it's a small size. It's not! So glad we ordered 1 each and the tenders. It was still filling. The tenders are still pretty big as well. You have your choice of heat. We opted for the medium sliders and hot tenders. I was ok with it but not my husband. We would definitely return but next time come hungry. It's a lot of food. Service is so friendly and helpful too!

Had seen a short on them on a FB group- and then my daughter wanted to try them. We ordered take away and after our 35 min commute home, the food was still good!! Very impressed! 🇦🇲
