I drove by Dave's to get to Shannon View Inn many of times, and I was always intrigued by how packed the parking lot always was. So, one day my brother asked if I wanted to try it. Dave's has many beers on draft, which I love. The menu has so many choices that I find it hard to believe that they can cycle through everything and maintain freshness. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich. The chicken is grilled and cooked nicely with a coating of sauce. The fries were fresh of the potato and tasted great. On my second time here, I ordered the Jekyll and Hyde. It's a buffalo chic sandwich with sliced beef topped with BBQ sauce and onion rings. The sandwich would have been amazing, but the beef tasted reheated/microwaved. If it wasn't for that, I'd have completely loved this place, but I can't shake ruined BBQ. The setting is great. There is always a tv in view to watch your favorite sports no matter where you sit. They have random video game machines and 2-7ft pool tables. Overall, this place was great, plenty of drinks, good food, and lots to do with your friends. I'd come here again.

I am giving Dave's Bar and Grille five stars because I've been there many times and each time my meal was beyond delicious. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have ONLY had the lobster roll at Dave's Bar and Grille. Therefore, my review is based on one menu item l - the lobster roll. Dave's makes a lobster roll that I would want to dedicate a song to. It is chock full of huge chunks of lobster meat, served on a fabulous roll. These days, I just eat the lobster salad because I no longer eat wheat. Just the lobster salad on its own is a meal in itself. With a tad of mayonnaise, that's all you get - a pile of fresh lobster chunks. Sometimes I ask for extra mayo because they don't use much, since I guess they want you to appreciate the lobster in the roll And what's better than that? (Oh I also got french fries to round out my meal - also good!!). I took my mother there once and I think she ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with french fries and a Coke. She loved her lunch too. Dave's is mainly a sports bar with wide screen tv's and men shouting out at their teams - this is not a quiet place nor is it one to go to for a romantic dinner unless you like sitting on high stools at high top tables making googly eyes. I hear they have a huge selection of really good beers, too. That's all I got.: Dave's = delicious lobstah roll.

Been coming here for years. Good selection of beers for great prices! Food prices are great too (grilled cheese and fries $2.75, and it's good!). No frills atmosphere. Atmosphere kinda sucks actually. Food is hit or miss but when it's good, it's real good. Example: Stuffies are some of the best I've ever had, time after time; Clam Cakes are absolutely awful, time after time. Never had a clam cake I couldn't eat before. Sandwiches are good but nothing to write home about. I'm probably confusing you, I'm confused myself actually. Take it as you will. Like I said, still coming here for years.

I am not from the area but I am here for a job today. When I wrapped up my work, I asked where to get a good meal in a causal atmosphere. Dave's they said without hesitation. I am here and happy. The food is great was served up quick! Waiter is friendly and attentive without being overbearing and the prices are very reasonable. It's a win for me.

I had no problem eating there until today, I ordered what is normally called beer battered chicken tenders/fingers. Normally there golden brown light and crispy. I asked why they look bright yellow? They said (new oil) I said fine I will eat them. I asked for fries and was given no option. I got one lemonade to wash it down. I ate the food then got my bill..It was 17.27 which was crazy for a normal lunch for one person. I have been eating the same thing here for over 2 months and never paid 17 dollars. So I checked and the tenders were 8.99 and my side of fries was 4.99 and a two dollar drink. Conclusion specify what you order with the waiter!!! Based on this I will never eat there again. How am I feeling?? Like I got Ripper off!

Nice sports bar with lots of televisions, lots of beers and a good selection of beer grub. We stuck with beers (locally brewed Narraganset Lager!) and talked for a while without being disturbed by the locals or the noise of the televisions. Looking for beer and sports and grub? DAVE'S!

Shawn B.
Did not like the food. I ordered the special which was the chicken cordon bleu sandwich. The chicken was tough and over cooked with a thin piece of ham and cheese. But the staff was super nice and great beers on daft. I would just go back for the beer and not the food.

Food was really bad. Service wasn't too hot either. Don't get the steak sandwich, I am positive they microwave the meat. Couldn't finish my meal without running to bathroom. To their credit, the grilled cheese was good.

A Wednesday night. The place was pretty crowded. The service was bad and the food was worse. I had a steak - or so they said. About 3/8" thick. Hard and dry. The menu said it was "hand cut". Maybe the should use a machine next time. On of My friends had fish and chips and said that was ok. My other friend had baked stuffed shrimp. It looked so bad we actually laughed about it. I guess it is not smart to trust this place with more than a burger. We waited a long time just to order beers. And a long time in between visits.

So this review is pretty narrow and limited in scope. I only ever visit for lunch with the kids, usually with another mom with kids. We love it because we can always grab this long booth that is set off to the side of the restaurant between the restrooms and some arcade games. The kids stay occupied and relatively behaved playing with the games til the food comes. I think they've recently changed the menu because there aren't as many kid options as there used to be. This last visit my son had to order a burger off of the regular menu. I like that you can choose a vegetable instead of fries for sides but the broccoli, squash and asparagus we had were so overcooked they were virtually inedible. Based on this experience I probably won't bring the kids back but it seems like a good place for a business lunch or a drink after work.

I have been going to Dave's bar and grille for years and nothing has ever changed, in a good way! I quite the frequent flyer here, minimum once a week, it's about a 25 minute drive for me the stuffies are addicting! I've had stuffies all over Rhode Island and I truely believe that Dave's has one of the best, if that doesn't get you in the beer should! They have dozens of different beers available by draft or bottle. The service is outstanding, I haven't been here and ever had a complaint about any of the service, especially from mike he is excellent. Great for after work drinks, and a quick bite to eat, I love the brick oven pizza it's great. Try it out sometime and see what I'm talking about!

Andrea R.
Great place to get a drink, eat, and watch some sports! They also have a phenomenal brunch. Sadly, I believe the brunch is for banquets only, so the moral of that short sentence is: GO IF YOUR INVITED! They have a lot of beers on tap, full bar, you can sit in cozy booths or high top tables. It's not fancy but its a great place to grab a bite to eat if you're in the area, looking for a place to watch a game and eat, or just want good, cheap food! They are known for their infamous grilled cheese - you can't go wrong! I also, really love the chowder!

Meghan M.
This place has no ambiance and just seems like a room with tables. If you want a grilled cheese and a beer, than this is your place. The times I've been here I've almost felt like I was in someone's basement.

First off, I don't quite remember our waitresses name but she was awesome and friendly. We ordered three things to split. Lobster roll (never had one before), snail salad (never had that either), and New England clam chowder. The lobster roll was less than I expected...but hey, it's lobster, it was still tasty. We sent back the snail salad because it was very chewy. We switched it for a bacon cheeseburger (turned out to be good). The New England clam chowder was the highlight for me. Probably the best I've ever had. And the bowl is good as a meal or to split with someone. The service was very good! We had nice conversation with our waitress and she was very accommodating when we didn't like the snail salad. Not sure if I would return, but it was nice in the moment. Quick and easy.

Driving down Post Road this place just sneaks up on you. When you walk in you aren't quite sure what to expect but after coming here I was pleasantly surprised. Starting off with the beverage options. They have an unexpectedly large draft beer selections ranging from your normal large distributors to smaller brewers. They also make a strong mixed drink. There food is nothing out of the world but it is still quite good and has been consistent the 2 times I have went. They have pizza, a decent selection of appetizers and sandwiches, as well as a few dinners. I got pizza 1 time and a Rachel the other. Both of them were very enjoyable. I got the chili cheese fries with the Rachel and although their chili is good, I wasn't a fan of it on the fries but too each their own. A good food and drink selection coupled with very reasonable prices and a bunch of TVs to watch the games, Gregory's becomes a good place to hang out and grab some food and drinks to watch a game. I have been satisfied both times I have come and will most likely be back if I am down in the Warwick area.

If you find out your PVD flight is delayed or cancelled, Dave's is a great place to grab a bite and relax. They have a lot of great beers on draft and a grilled cheese with fries and pickles is only $2.75. What a deal! The Jekyll and Hyde is HUGE and delicious (buffalo chicken covered with thinly sliced prime rib, bacon and cheese)! The Ranchero Burger was fantastic as well. Mine was cooked perfectly (medium) and very tasty. Both entrees came with a side (he chose fries, I got potato salad) and pickles. Lots of TVs to catch sporting events, the news, etc. I'm sure this place is packed during football season!

Definite a great place to hang, eat and meet up with friends. TV galore and dinner specials are a plus. Did I mention the nachos? Awesome - need anything more? Get the Chix wings extra crispy with hot sauce on the side. Parking is easy....not the any really is too concerned but hey it's a plus.

Not bad at all. I enjoyed the sword fish and an ice cold beer. Good prices, nice people. Eliminate the 50 TVs playing different channels at the same time with the volume up, and it would be great.

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL? On most Sundays you will find me here watching my favorite team play football. Everyone in the family puts on their Jersey and heads over for a great time. This is the only bar that I have been to where we all the teams get along. There are too many TVs to count so everyone gets their way here. The food is your average bar fair and what the food lacks the beers makes up for. I usually will get a sampler so I don't have to choose just one.

I am somewhat reluctant to share this Warwick gem with the entire Yelp! RI community, but on the other hand I would be doing everyone a disservice not to! I have been going here since I was a kid (back when Dave's famous grilled cheese & fries was $1.50) and I never get sick of it. Dave's has come a looong way since then, yet remains very much intact with its original concept. The main difference these days is a massive (30+) selection of draft craft beer. I will not make any comparisons to any VERY nearby beer spots... but let's just say Dave's puts them to shame like it's nobody's business! The pour and the pricing is unbelievably reasonable! Although I am partial to Dave's Famous Grilled Cheese (memories), I must mention their massive menu of American Pub fare and AWESOME pizza. Overall, the scene here is casual. It's a great "after work" spot, and it's open late!

Daves is my Number 1 choice for sports bars. The food is good (not very healthy but tasty nonetheless) and Daves offers more beers on tap than any other bar or restaurant in the local Warwick area and the beers are fantastic. Whenever I'm itching to grab a quick drink with friends, Daves is always at the top of my list. Whenever work visitors are in town assisting my office, one of my first recommendations for food and drinks is Daves. This is a big establishment and can entertain large groups. There is a pool table and a few choice video games in the back room; my kids enjoy the video games while my wife and I enjoy watching sports. Speaking of sports, another excellent feature of Daves is that they have several flat screen TV's for easy viewing from any of the bar stools, tables, and booths. Additionally, Daves gets the NFL Ticket every season and you can typically find me, my wife, and kids here on NFL Sundays watching our beloved Redskins play every weekend. The environment at Daves is always vibrant for some reason. I'm not sure if it's because sports fans can be found here watching games together, or if it's the beer, food, or friendly staff members. It's just one of those establishments that you walk into and feel right at home and ready to have a good time. I'm a big fan!

Disgusting. We came in here for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. I ordered the garden salad while my guests ordered the burger and buffalo chicken sandwhich. Their meals looked ok, except that the fries were totally frozen before they were deep fried. How can you mess up a sald you ask? Well, just go to Daves and they will surely do this for you. So, from afar, my garden salad looked very delicious. The greens were piled high, there were sliced cumcumbers on the perimeter of the plate. There were plenty of alfalfa sprouts to top the salad as well. When the plate arrived in front of me...you can see that the cucumbers were wilted and dried. Once you dig into the pile of alfalfa sprouts, the lettuce was all soggy, spoiled and wet. There is abosultely no excuse for a restaurant to serve spoiled food. A person could become ill with the health hazard of a plate they call "lunch". I now know why the cook piled on the alfalfa sprouts to cover the spoiled and rotten lettuce. I returned my plate and the server took the meal off the check.

Bleh is all I can say. I work nearby and ordered takeout. I was told it would be 15 mins. So I got there in 15 mins and my food was cold. The restaurant is too crowded, you cannot walk through the tables without bumping into someone who is sitting. The servers and bartenders were all rushed and annoyed. Wouldn't even go here for a drink. I do not recommend!

Was looking for a place to watch the basketball games and have a drink. This place was great for that. They have a bunch of flat screens around the bar and through the restaurant. They had a huge selection of draft beers from all over. So that was nice. The food was pretty good. The chowder was not the best that I have had. But the chicken sandwich was good.

Great bar & grille. If I had to choose one casual, fun and fast place in the state of ri it is daves. My wife loves the bbq chicken sandwich, and I enjoy the grilled chicken sandwich. The service is usually fast and friendly. Our only issue are the new fries they are serving. Some might love them, we do not. We miss the steak fries. In fact we order our sandwiches without the regular fries and request the steak fries everytime, but they don't allow substitutes!! Daves is wayyyy better that most other bar and griles we have been to in the state.

Rick C.
Great place to watch Football. Lots of TVs, and a great selection of craft beers (including 5-7 very respectable IPAs) on tap. The menu offers a good selection of burgers and sandwiches. There are bars on the same road, but this place is the best on the strip outside if the airport.

Having lived in Warwick for several years, I have seen this place evolve from the one - room smoky bar to a decent place to casually dine out or grab a drink with friends. I also want to add that I would consider it kid-friendly during lunch and the early dinner hour. Lots of room and ample high chairs. The atmosphere does shift to the bar crowd after 6:30 or so. In short, the food is a good value - decent portions and a reasonable price. I went out last week for lunch with my husband and remarked that they actually put out some tasty food. The blood mary was one of the best I've had - outside of my own kitchen. The server mentioned that they actually make their own bloody mary mix. Spicy, not too salty. . .Yum! Dave, the owner, can usually be seen milling about. The place is always spotless and the service is typically top-notch. A good bet for drinks and a good bite to eat. . .

Left work at the same time as a coworker and we decided to head to Dave's for a quick bite to eat and "a beer". Three hours later we walked out, both happy with the place. My buddy is a simple man. With each beer selection he claimed that he was going to be adventurous and try something new. And each time the bartender came around he happily ordered his go-to, a Sam lager. He was also delighted with his steak and potato dinner. For a guy used to frozen dinners and tunafish sandwiches, he dined grinning from ear to ear. If I'm eating at a bar I'm not going to go for a steak, I'll go for some pub fare. So a burger was definitely in order. A couple strips of bacon topping a good sized beef pattie and I was a happy man. Blown away? Nah, but I gladly cleaned my plate. What I wasn't expecting when I walked into this place was the beer selection. A place where I can get beers from Stone, Southern Tier, and Victory on tap all in one night? Good times. For me, that alone turned an average meal with a lot of tvs into a good night. If there's a game on then this is the place you want to go. The place is decked out in tvs. From the bar area to the dining room you'll be able to watch as you eat. The timing of our visit was a little poor. With the NBA locked out and the Bruins off for the night there was nothing on tv worth watching.

Good quality and very generous portions for the price. I had the Fish-a-majig sandwich. It was a generous portion of deep fried cod on a bulkie roll with cheese, lettuce, tomato and a side of coleslaw and french fries. The cod was fresh, not the kind stuffed in the back of a freezer for months on end. The batter wasn't too thick, not thin either - it was what you would expect for fish and chips. The fries are steak cut and very good. I ate here at lunch time. I don't know what the dinner crowd is like. It seems like the type of place that could get pretty packed, which just isn't my style.

Holy beer taps, Batman! I think there's about 50 of them, not bad for a little bar in Warwick. Needless to say Dave's has got the beer department covered! They have a respectable line-up of craft brews and do a great job keeping up with the seasonal offerings. The food is pretty good. Typical pub grub. The pizzas are surprisingly delicious and the Kelly Burger is quite tasty. The appetizer sampler or the nachos make a good companion to your beer when watching the game. Speaking of watching the game... Dave's is perfect for that. They've got a ton of TVs and even two projection screens for Sunday football. If your team is playing, it'll be on one of the TVs here. The bar area tends to fill up quickly on game day so head in early if you want to grab a spot at the bar. I see a lot of complaints about the service. I've never had bad service while sitting at the bar. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive enough to keep the drinks flowing, even when it gets busy. With that being said, the service in the dining area is hit or miss. Sometimes it's OK, other times it's terrible. We've actually stopped sitting at the tables altogether because of this. It's bar or bust for us! So if you're looking to grab a pint and watch the game with friends, Dave's is perfect.

Hadn't been here for a couple years because I was living in Colorado. Walked in to watch a Bruins/Canucks game and WHOA! They went from having about 12 taps where I was usually drinking either the Sierra Nevada or Newport Storm Hurricane Ale, to 54 taps!!! I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. Lots of regional craft selections if you're into that (I sure am) and always great pub food. Can't find a better place to watch NE sports and now with the expanded beer menu, I will be coming back regularly. Update: I still enjoy coming here for games as the food is good, beer selection is nice, and prices are reasonable, but on more than one occasion we've ordered beer that is past it's prime. This is due to the large selection and customer base that is still stuck in domestic hell. Also the owner is a jerk.

Dot B.
Had the ranchero burger. It was ok. It was a little overcooked & the bun was a little more bun than needed, but all in all, tasty. The fries were hand cut & very good. We also had the homemade stuffies. Very tasty, but way over priced for what you got. I could get stuffies just as good at the local fish market for a lot less & they'd fill the shell more. If I'm ever in Warwick again and need a quick bite, I'd go back, but I wouldn't make a special trip

This is generally our place to go if the boy and i don't want to spend a ton of money and have a good burger or chicken sandwich and a good beer. The bar recently re-vamped itself and the change IMO was fantastic. Daves now sports a huge front bar, with tons of beers on tap (i think it's something like 50?) they have everything from your RI staple beers like Miller Lite and Narragansett, to more specialty craft beers. The selections are ever changing with the seasons. I'd suggest sitting at the front bar as the waiter service at the booths can be fairly slow when busy, and the high top tables are to squished together for my taste. The front bartenders are always friendly, prompt and attentive. Several flat big screens make anywhere a good TV viewing area and they have some video games spaced around as well as 2 pool tables, basketball game and an air hockey table. Not a lot of cash? Grab the $2.00 grilled cheese. Can't beat that.

Although I'm not a regular, this is a great place! Great bar food, great draught beer options--a great place for a sports bar atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Lets have a conversation about the BBQ Chicken nachos: AWESOME!! That's all I need to say about that, and the half order is usually plenty for 2 people too. I love bringing coworkers here after a crappy shift at work late at night and being able to just hang out and socialize with a drink til close. I've had excellent service experience as well. Perhaps I'll be there later this week! :)

I went to Dave's this past Saturday night for a Celtics road rally. I heard about it on the Celtics website. I showed up there and there were tons of celtics fans decked out in celtics gear, and the celtics mascot, dancers and a former player were all there. It started out great, until the Celtics game came on at 8. The owner refused to put the Celtics game on any of the tons of tvs that they have there. There were at least ten people complaining that we came for a Celtics game, but he would not switch the channel from the Jets game. He was so unbelievably rude to everyone there. I have never seen someone who works in customer service be that much of a jerk. There was a woman too, I think an Assistant Manager, and she was such a horrible person to all the customers wanting to watch the Cetlics game. There are tons of tvs at Daves and the Jets game was on side by side tvs. We asked the owner to put the Celtics game on one tv, and the leave the Jets on the other, but he refused and very rudely announced the tvs would stay as they were. I have never been so angry at a restaurant before. And this was for a Celtics event. The owner of Dave's is a very nasty nasty man and I will never go there again.

This place is a draw for a lot of scary locals form the area and a big draw on sports event nights. the spot is on a main road in a run down area not far from the airport and being a typical sports bar with no flair and really terrible food and service. It is a place that the decor inside is like you are in someones basement and its jsut an all around bad place to visit. Go down the street to the local Chelos if you want bad food and bad service. I would skip this place, you wont be sorry.

Dave's brings back memories... mainly memories of high school that I'd like to repress. But, I will try to be impartial here and judge it as a place where you, dear reader, won't run into half of your high school class. Generally, any bar with air hockey earns major brownie points in my book. Add two pool tables, foosball, Golden Tee, and even a basketball game, and you're a winner of a bar. Oh, they have beer, too. And it comes on the cheap. A Gansett tall boy is $2, and there's always some sort of beer special going on. The food is pretty good for pub grub, now that I've moved on from the $1 grilled cheese that used to be on the menu back in high school.

Great small time bar near the airport. Its kinda laid back and cool and a big hang out for the Harley types in the summer. I spent many an afternoon here when I was younger... but it can have a bit of an older crowd feel to it. Its dingy, but cool. And even has a pool table, or it did anyway.

Lots of open seats Perfect place for a Sox game A Rhody classic I have a lot of events at Crowne Plaza, and Dave's is the go to watering hole for an evening nightcap (or several.) They're not too swift with the table service, but on weeknights there's never a lack of seating, and I've always been able to score a high-top table for 8 or more no problem. The bread and butter of Dave's is the sports watching community, and they cater to those folks by placing a television in almost every visible corner of the room. On a summer afternoon it's the perfect place to go to take in a baseball game and grab a bite. They will NEVER be out of Narragansett, so you're safe ordering pitcher after pitcher. The food isn't the best, but I've never really come here for the food anyway. I just love being able to have a place to gather groups on weekday nights knowing the beer's relatively cheap and we'll be able to get seats.

Dave's Bar and Grille is a hidden gem in Warwick. A great sports pub type atmosphere, friendly service and awesome food. Every time we go we get their famous burgers with crispy fries, and one of their draft beers or pink lemonade. This is the place to watch a Patriots, Sox, Bruins, or Celtics game. Highly recommend.

Pretty good food, especially the chicken quesadilla. Huge portions, but not the finest-quality ingredients. It's a sports bar. The staff are compatible with the most decidedly sports-bar atmosphere of pop music, numerous flat-screen TVs, arcade games and a pool table. Though my experience involved a waitress who was fun and sassy at first, but then got kind of annoying towards the end of our meal because she wanted to leave and wanted us to cash out. It's a great local hangout, and a fantastic destination if you want to stuff and pickle yourself while catching that must-see game. Not fine dining by any measure, but it definitely hits the spot and will leave you stuffed.

I went to Dave's last weekend with some friends and we all had a really good time. It was a Sunday night so the place was not overly loud or busy and we were able to grab a table and sit down right away. Our server was really great and he put up with a lot of our nonsense; we moved tables changed orders and open and closed a tab throughout the night and he did not hesitate once. When I asked for a larger straw(I only had a mixing straw at the time) for my adult beverage he came right over and even called it a "big girl straw" that amused me. I only ordered drinks but they were made exactly as I like them and the price was fair. My friends ordered the nachos and although I did not have any they looked pretty good. What I can say for food at Dave's is that their grilled cheese and fries are pretty amazing and easy on the wallet if you are looking to spend more on the "Bar" part and less on the "Grille". The only downfall of the establishment is the parking lot. It is small and odd in shape and always super busy. Even on a Sunday the parking lot was pretty full so carpool with friends if you are going in a group and save yourself the headache of trying to find a spot for all of your cars.

The food is pretty decent for what it is. Big boy on bar has got to be the laziest worst bartender I've ever seen. Seriously a dead Tuesday night and this guy walked in circles avoiding customers and passing on requests for service to the other bartenders he should be fired. Thankfully his be speckled counter part Josh saved the day. Reminder table service stops about 915pm so make sure u beg for the food at the bar ;) chili and nachos very good

Wicked good food and service. Everytime I have been there the food has been very good and very plentiful and the service has been friendly and attentive. Dave's is a local institution and does what it does very well. Last time I was there I sat next to Gene Valicente from Channel 10 - c'mon, what else do you want?

I drove by Dave's to get to Shannon View Inn many of times, and I was always intrigued by how packed the parking lot always was. So, one day my brother asked if I wanted to try it. Dave's has many beers on draft, which I love. The menu has so many choices that I find it hard to believe that they can cycle through everything and maintain freshness. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich. The chicken is grilled and cooked nicely with a coating of sauce. The fries were fresh of the potato and tasted great. On my second time here, I ordered the Jekyll and Hyde. It's a buffalo chic sandwich with sliced beef topped with BBQ sauce and onion rings. The sandwich would have been amazing, but the beef tasted reheated/microwaved. If it wasn't for that, I'd have completely loved this place, but I can't shake ruined BBQ. The setting is great. There is always a tv in view to watch your favorite sports no matter where you sit. They have random video game machines and 2-7ft pool tables. Overall, this place was great, plenty of drinks, good food, and lots to do with your friends. I'd come here again.

I am giving Dave's Bar and Grille five stars because I've been there many times and each time my meal was beyond delicious. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have ONLY had the lobster roll at Dave's Bar and Grille. Therefore, my review is based on one menu item l - the lobster roll. Dave's makes a lobster roll that I would want to dedicate a song to. It is chock full of huge chunks of lobster meat, served on a fabulous roll. These days, I just eat the lobster salad because I no longer eat wheat. Just the lobster salad on its own is a meal in itself. With a tad of mayonnaise, that's all you get - a pile of fresh lobster chunks. Sometimes I ask for extra mayo because they don't use much, since I guess they want you to appreciate the lobster in the roll And what's better than that? (Oh I also got french fries to round out my meal - also good!!). I took my mother there once and I think she ordered a grilled cheese sandwich with french fries and a Coke. She loved her lunch too. Dave's is mainly a sports bar with wide screen tv's and men shouting out at their teams - this is not a quiet place nor is it one to go to for a romantic dinner unless you like sitting on high stools at high top tables making googly eyes. I hear they have a huge selection of really good beers, too. That's all I got.: Dave's = delicious lobstah roll.

The beers came fast and the food was better than expected. I enjoyed my visit.
(4)William L.
Jekyl and Hyde sandwich is good and beer selection is on point. Service is always solid as well.
(4)Jenn B.
Great atmosphere. Lot's of TV's for the kids and the food is pretty good reasonably priced.
(4)Tom Z.
Been coming here for years. Good selection of beers for great prices! Food prices are great too (grilled cheese and fries $2.75, and it's good!). No frills atmosphere. Atmosphere kinda sucks actually. Food is hit or miss but when it's good, it's real good. Example: Stuffies are some of the best I've ever had, time after time; Clam Cakes are absolutely awful, time after time. Never had a clam cake I couldn't eat before. Sandwiches are good but nothing to write home about. I'm probably confusing you, I'm confused myself actually. Take it as you will. Like I said, still coming here for years.

I am not from the area but I am here for a job today. When I wrapped up my work, I asked where to get a good meal in a causal atmosphere. Dave's they said without hesitation. I am here and happy. The food is great was served up quick! Waiter is friendly and attentive without being overbearing and the prices are very reasonable. It's a win for me.

Been going there 20 years. Never had a bad meal and never went home hungry

I had no problem eating there until today, I ordered what is normally called beer battered chicken tenders/fingers. Normally there golden brown light and crispy. I asked why they look bright yellow? They said (new oil) I said fine I will eat them. I asked for fries and was given no option. I got one lemonade to wash it down. I ate the food then got my bill..It was 17.27 which was crazy for a normal lunch for one person. I have been eating the same thing here for over 2 months and never paid 17 dollars. So I checked and the tenders were 8.99 and my side of fries was 4.99 and a two dollar drink. Conclusion specify what you order with the waiter!!! Based on this I will never eat there again. How am I feeling?? Like I got Ripper off!
(1)Bruce K.
Nice sports bar with lots of televisions, lots of beers and a good selection of beer grub. We stuck with beers (locally brewed Narraganset Lager!) and talked for a while without being disturbed by the locals or the noise of the televisions. Looking for beer and sports and grub? DAVE'S!
(4)Shawn B.
Did not like the food. I ordered the special which was the chicken cordon bleu sandwich. The chicken was tough and over cooked with a thin piece of ham and cheese. But the staff was super nice and great beers on daft. I would just go back for the beer and not the food.
(2)Joey B.
Food was really bad. Service wasn't too hot either. Don't get the steak sandwich, I am positive they microwave the meat. Couldn't finish my meal without running to bathroom. To their credit, the grilled cheese was good.
(1)Steve D.
A Wednesday night. The place was pretty crowded. The service was bad and the food was worse. I had a steak - or so they said. About 3/8" thick. Hard and dry. The menu said it was "hand cut". Maybe the should use a machine next time. On of My friends had fish and chips and said that was ok. My other friend had baked stuffed shrimp. It looked so bad we actually laughed about it. I guess it is not smart to trust this place with more than a burger. We waited a long time just to order beers. And a long time in between visits.
(2)Colleen M.
So this review is pretty narrow and limited in scope. I only ever visit for lunch with the kids, usually with another mom with kids. We love it because we can always grab this long booth that is set off to the side of the restaurant between the restrooms and some arcade games. The kids stay occupied and relatively behaved playing with the games til the food comes. I think they've recently changed the menu because there aren't as many kid options as there used to be. This last visit my son had to order a burger off of the regular menu. I like that you can choose a vegetable instead of fries for sides but the broccoli, squash and asparagus we had were so overcooked they were virtually inedible. Based on this experience I probably won't bring the kids back but it seems like a good place for a business lunch or a drink after work.

Friday night 10pm...where is the waitstaff?? Apparently not there! Sat for 10 minutes at a table and nobody came by.. Didn't even say they would be right with us. Just kept walking by. Nice way to keep customers!
(1)Kenny B.
Got food poisoning so bad from eating their buffalo fingers. Used to love going here. Great beers. Mediocre food. Loved the sampler for beers. I haven't been able to go back since I got so sick from eating here.
(2)Brian O.
I have been going to Dave's bar and grille for years and nothing has ever changed, in a good way! I quite the frequent flyer here, minimum once a week, it's about a 25 minute drive for me the stuffies are addicting! I've had stuffies all over Rhode Island and I truely believe that Dave's has one of the best, if that doesn't get you in the beer should! They have dozens of different beers available by draft or bottle. The service is outstanding, I haven't been here and ever had a complaint about any of the service, especially from mike he is excellent. Great for after work drinks, and a quick bite to eat, I love the brick oven pizza it's great. Try it out sometime and see what I'm talking about!
(5)Andrea R.
Great place to get a drink, eat, and watch some sports! They also have a phenomenal brunch. Sadly, I believe the brunch is for banquets only, so the moral of that short sentence is: GO IF YOUR INVITED! They have a lot of beers on tap, full bar, you can sit in cozy booths or high top tables. It's not fancy but its a great place to grab a bite to eat if you're in the area, looking for a place to watch a game and eat, or just want good, cheap food! They are known for their infamous grilled cheese - you can't go wrong! I also, really love the chowder!
(4)Meghan M.
This place has no ambiance and just seems like a room with tables. If you want a grilled cheese and a beer, than this is your place. The times I've been here I've almost felt like I was in someone's basement.
(1)Jacki A.
First off, I don't quite remember our waitresses name but she was awesome and friendly. We ordered three things to split. Lobster roll (never had one before), snail salad (never had that either), and New England clam chowder. The lobster roll was less than I expected...but hey, it's lobster, it was still tasty. We sent back the snail salad because it was very chewy. We switched it for a bacon cheeseburger (turned out to be good). The New England clam chowder was the highlight for me. Probably the best I've ever had. And the bowl is good as a meal or to split with someone. The service was very good! We had nice conversation with our waitress and she was very accommodating when we didn't like the snail salad. Not sure if I would return, but it was nice in the moment. Quick and easy.
(3)Tinasha P.
Great food. Try the black and sticky wings. I loved them the wife hated them...(They are great she is crazy) great drinks. And very friendly staff. Great prices too. Definitely recommend it!
(4)Scott C.
Driving down Post Road this place just sneaks up on you. When you walk in you aren't quite sure what to expect but after coming here I was pleasantly surprised. Starting off with the beverage options. They have an unexpectedly large draft beer selections ranging from your normal large distributors to smaller brewers. They also make a strong mixed drink. There food is nothing out of the world but it is still quite good and has been consistent the 2 times I have went. They have pizza, a decent selection of appetizers and sandwiches, as well as a few dinners. I got pizza 1 time and a Rachel the other. Both of them were very enjoyable. I got the chili cheese fries with the Rachel and although their chili is good, I wasn't a fan of it on the fries but too each their own. A good food and drink selection coupled with very reasonable prices and a bunch of TVs to watch the games, Gregory's becomes a good place to hang out and grab some food and drinks to watch a game. I have been satisfied both times I have come and will most likely be back if I am down in the Warwick area.
(4)Amy G.
If you find out your PVD flight is delayed or cancelled, Dave's is a great place to grab a bite and relax. They have a lot of great beers on draft and a grilled cheese with fries and pickles is only $2.75. What a deal! The Jekyll and Hyde is HUGE and delicious (buffalo chicken covered with thinly sliced prime rib, bacon and cheese)! The Ranchero Burger was fantastic as well. Mine was cooked perfectly (medium) and very tasty. Both entrees came with a side (he chose fries, I got potato salad) and pickles. Lots of TVs to catch sporting events, the news, etc. I'm sure this place is packed during football season!
(4)Nathan M.
Definite a great place to hang, eat and meet up with friends. TV galore and dinner specials are a plus. Did I mention the nachos? Awesome - need anything more? Get the Chix wings extra crispy with hot sauce on the side. Parking is easy....not the any really is too concerned but hey it's a plus.
(4)Tom T.
Not bad at all. I enjoyed the sword fish and an ice cold beer. Good prices, nice people. Eliminate the 50 TVs playing different channels at the same time with the volume up, and it would be great.
(3)Eric C.
Short and sweet review... good food at reasonable prices. They have a ton of beers on tap and the service is always excellent. Meet some buddies and watch a game or two. You won't be disappointed.
(4)Jen H.
Are you ready for some FOOTBALL? On most Sundays you will find me here watching my favorite team play football. Everyone in the family puts on their Jersey and heads over for a great time. This is the only bar that I have been to where we all the teams get along. There are too many TVs to count so everyone gets their way here. The food is your average bar fair and what the food lacks the beers makes up for. I usually will get a sampler so I don't have to choose just one.
(4)Kyle C.
I am somewhat reluctant to share this Warwick gem with the entire Yelp! RI community, but on the other hand I would be doing everyone a disservice not to! I have been going here since I was a kid (back when Dave's famous grilled cheese & fries was $1.50) and I never get sick of it. Dave's has come a looong way since then, yet remains very much intact with its original concept. The main difference these days is a massive (30+) selection of draft craft beer. I will not make any comparisons to any VERY nearby beer spots... but let's just say Dave's puts them to shame like it's nobody's business! The pour and the pricing is unbelievably reasonable! Although I am partial to Dave's Famous Grilled Cheese (memories), I must mention their massive menu of American Pub fare and AWESOME pizza. Overall, the scene here is casual. It's a great "after work" spot, and it's open late!
(4)Doug C.
Always a good option for a filling lunch! Strictly a steak sandwich guy when I come here but their salads are ready good too!

Daves is my Number 1 choice for sports bars. The food is good (not very healthy but tasty nonetheless) and Daves offers more beers on tap than any other bar or restaurant in the local Warwick area and the beers are fantastic. Whenever I'm itching to grab a quick drink with friends, Daves is always at the top of my list. Whenever work visitors are in town assisting my office, one of my first recommendations for food and drinks is Daves. This is a big establishment and can entertain large groups. There is a pool table and a few choice video games in the back room; my kids enjoy the video games while my wife and I enjoy watching sports. Speaking of sports, another excellent feature of Daves is that they have several flat screen TV's for easy viewing from any of the bar stools, tables, and booths. Additionally, Daves gets the NFL Ticket every season and you can typically find me, my wife, and kids here on NFL Sundays watching our beloved Redskins play every weekend. The environment at Daves is always vibrant for some reason. I'm not sure if it's because sports fans can be found here watching games together, or if it's the beer, food, or friendly staff members. It's just one of those establishments that you walk into and feel right at home and ready to have a good time. I'm a big fan!

Good bar food, crowded on a Saturday night. Lots of TVs for sports. Tried their barbecue chicken nachos... delicious!!!
(4)Loan L.
Disgusting. We came in here for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. I ordered the garden salad while my guests ordered the burger and buffalo chicken sandwhich. Their meals looked ok, except that the fries were totally frozen before they were deep fried. How can you mess up a sald you ask? Well, just go to Daves and they will surely do this for you. So, from afar, my garden salad looked very delicious. The greens were piled high, there were sliced cumcumbers on the perimeter of the plate. There were plenty of alfalfa sprouts to top the salad as well. When the plate arrived in front of me...you can see that the cucumbers were wilted and dried. Once you dig into the pile of alfalfa sprouts, the lettuce was all soggy, spoiled and wet. There is abosultely no excuse for a restaurant to serve spoiled food. A person could become ill with the health hazard of a plate they call "lunch". I now know why the cook piled on the alfalfa sprouts to cover the spoiled and rotten lettuce. I returned my plate and the server took the meal off the check.
(1)JP D.
Bleh is all I can say. I work nearby and ordered takeout. I was told it would be 15 mins. So I got there in 15 mins and my food was cold. The restaurant is too crowded, you cannot walk through the tables without bumping into someone who is sitting. The servers and bartenders were all rushed and annoyed. Wouldn't even go here for a drink. I do not recommend!
(2)David L.
Was looking for a place to watch the basketball games and have a drink. This place was great for that. They have a bunch of flat screens around the bar and through the restaurant. They had a huge selection of draft beers from all over. So that was nice. The food was pretty good. The chowder was not the best that I have had. But the chicken sandwich was good.
(4)Chris S.
Great bar & grille. If I had to choose one casual, fun and fast place in the state of ri it is daves. My wife loves the bbq chicken sandwich, and I enjoy the grilled chicken sandwich. The service is usually fast and friendly. Our only issue are the new fries they are serving. Some might love them, we do not. We miss the steak fries. In fact we order our sandwiches without the regular fries and request the steak fries everytime, but they don't allow substitutes!! Daves is wayyyy better that most other bar and griles we have been to in the state.
(4)Rick C.
Great place to watch Football. Lots of TVs, and a great selection of craft beers (including 5-7 very respectable IPAs) on tap. The menu offers a good selection of burgers and sandwiches. There are bars on the same road, but this place is the best on the strip outside if the airport.
(5)S Nicole M.
Having lived in Warwick for several years, I have seen this place evolve from the one - room smoky bar to a decent place to casually dine out or grab a drink with friends. I also want to add that I would consider it kid-friendly during lunch and the early dinner hour. Lots of room and ample high chairs. The atmosphere does shift to the bar crowd after 6:30 or so. In short, the food is a good value - decent portions and a reasonable price. I went out last week for lunch with my husband and remarked that they actually put out some tasty food. The blood mary was one of the best I've had - outside of my own kitchen. The server mentioned that they actually make their own bloody mary mix. Spicy, not too salty. . .Yum! Dave, the owner, can usually be seen milling about. The place is always spotless and the service is typically top-notch. A good bet for drinks and a good bite to eat. . .
(4)Brian M.
Left work at the same time as a coworker and we decided to head to Dave's for a quick bite to eat and "a beer". Three hours later we walked out, both happy with the place. My buddy is a simple man. With each beer selection he claimed that he was going to be adventurous and try something new. And each time the bartender came around he happily ordered his go-to, a Sam lager. He was also delighted with his steak and potato dinner. For a guy used to frozen dinners and tunafish sandwiches, he dined grinning from ear to ear. If I'm eating at a bar I'm not going to go for a steak, I'll go for some pub fare. So a burger was definitely in order. A couple strips of bacon topping a good sized beef pattie and I was a happy man. Blown away? Nah, but I gladly cleaned my plate. What I wasn't expecting when I walked into this place was the beer selection. A place where I can get beers from Stone, Southern Tier, and Victory on tap all in one night? Good times. For me, that alone turned an average meal with a lot of tvs into a good night. If there's a game on then this is the place you want to go. The place is decked out in tvs. From the bar area to the dining room you'll be able to watch as you eat. The timing of our visit was a little poor. With the NBA locked out and the Bruins off for the night there was nothing on tv worth watching.
(4)Nathan W.
Good quality and very generous portions for the price. I had the Fish-a-majig sandwich. It was a generous portion of deep fried cod on a bulkie roll with cheese, lettuce, tomato and a side of coleslaw and french fries. The cod was fresh, not the kind stuffed in the back of a freezer for months on end. The batter wasn't too thick, not thin either - it was what you would expect for fish and chips. The fries are steak cut and very good. I ate here at lunch time. I don't know what the dinner crowd is like. It seems like the type of place that could get pretty packed, which just isn't my style.
(4)Juli L.
Holy beer taps, Batman! I think there's about 50 of them, not bad for a little bar in Warwick. Needless to say Dave's has got the beer department covered! They have a respectable line-up of craft brews and do a great job keeping up with the seasonal offerings. The food is pretty good. Typical pub grub. The pizzas are surprisingly delicious and the Kelly Burger is quite tasty. The appetizer sampler or the nachos make a good companion to your beer when watching the game. Speaking of watching the game... Dave's is perfect for that. They've got a ton of TVs and even two projection screens for Sunday football. If your team is playing, it'll be on one of the TVs here. The bar area tends to fill up quickly on game day so head in early if you want to grab a spot at the bar. I see a lot of complaints about the service. I've never had bad service while sitting at the bar. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive enough to keep the drinks flowing, even when it gets busy. With that being said, the service in the dining area is hit or miss. Sometimes it's OK, other times it's terrible. We've actually stopped sitting at the tables altogether because of this. It's bar or bust for us! So if you're looking to grab a pint and watch the game with friends, Dave's is perfect.
(4)Kevin C.
Hadn't been here for a couple years because I was living in Colorado. Walked in to watch a Bruins/Canucks game and WHOA! They went from having about 12 taps where I was usually drinking either the Sierra Nevada or Newport Storm Hurricane Ale, to 54 taps!!! I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. Lots of regional craft selections if you're into that (I sure am) and always great pub food. Can't find a better place to watch NE sports and now with the expanded beer menu, I will be coming back regularly. Update: I still enjoy coming here for games as the food is good, beer selection is nice, and prices are reasonable, but on more than one occasion we've ordered beer that is past it's prime. This is due to the large selection and customer base that is still stuck in domestic hell. Also the owner is a jerk.
(4)Dot B.
Had the ranchero burger. It was ok. It was a little overcooked & the bun was a little more bun than needed, but all in all, tasty. The fries were hand cut & very good. We also had the homemade stuffies. Very tasty, but way over priced for what you got. I could get stuffies just as good at the local fish market for a lot less & they'd fill the shell more. If I'm ever in Warwick again and need a quick bite, I'd go back, but I wouldn't make a special trip
(3)Kristina R.
This is generally our place to go if the boy and i don't want to spend a ton of money and have a good burger or chicken sandwich and a good beer. The bar recently re-vamped itself and the change IMO was fantastic. Daves now sports a huge front bar, with tons of beers on tap (i think it's something like 50?) they have everything from your RI staple beers like Miller Lite and Narragansett, to more specialty craft beers. The selections are ever changing with the seasons. I'd suggest sitting at the front bar as the waiter service at the booths can be fairly slow when busy, and the high top tables are to squished together for my taste. The front bartenders are always friendly, prompt and attentive. Several flat big screens make anywhere a good TV viewing area and they have some video games spaced around as well as 2 pool tables, basketball game and an air hockey table. Not a lot of cash? Grab the $2.00 grilled cheese. Can't beat that.
(4)Jeanette G.
Although I'm not a regular, this is a great place! Great bar food, great draught beer options--a great place for a sports bar atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Lets have a conversation about the BBQ Chicken nachos: AWESOME!! That's all I need to say about that, and the half order is usually plenty for 2 people too. I love bringing coworkers here after a crappy shift at work late at night and being able to just hang out and socialize with a drink til close. I've had excellent service experience as well. Perhaps I'll be there later this week! :)
(4)Shar C.
Service was great, clam chowder was awesome, beer selection was huge, did the 5oz sampler of 4 kinds of beer for $6.50, tbone was good, stuffed clams were good, loved the sicillian scallop pasta Great if you're looking for a sports bar, not a bad seat in the house.

I went to Dave's this past Saturday night for a Celtics road rally. I heard about it on the Celtics website. I showed up there and there were tons of celtics fans decked out in celtics gear, and the celtics mascot, dancers and a former player were all there. It started out great, until the Celtics game came on at 8. The owner refused to put the Celtics game on any of the tons of tvs that they have there. There were at least ten people complaining that we came for a Celtics game, but he would not switch the channel from the Jets game. He was so unbelievably rude to everyone there. I have never seen someone who works in customer service be that much of a jerk. There was a woman too, I think an Assistant Manager, and she was such a horrible person to all the customers wanting to watch the Cetlics game. There are tons of tvs at Daves and the Jets game was on side by side tvs. We asked the owner to put the Celtics game on one tv, and the leave the Jets on the other, but he refused and very rudely announced the tvs would stay as they were. I have never been so angry at a restaurant before. And this was for a Celtics event. The owner of Dave's is a very nasty nasty man and I will never go there again.

Snail salad is excellent. Nice local place for food and drink.
(4)Matt L.
This place is a draw for a lot of scary locals form the area and a big draw on sports event nights. the spot is on a main road in a run down area not far from the airport and being a typical sports bar with no flair and really terrible food and service. It is a place that the decor inside is like you are in someones basement and its jsut an all around bad place to visit. Go down the street to the local Chelos if you want bad food and bad service. I would skip this place, you wont be sorry.
(1)Christopher O.
Dave's brings back memories... mainly memories of high school that I'd like to repress. But, I will try to be impartial here and judge it as a place where you, dear reader, won't run into half of your high school class. Generally, any bar with air hockey earns major brownie points in my book. Add two pool tables, foosball, Golden Tee, and even a basketball game, and you're a winner of a bar. Oh, they have beer, too. And it comes on the cheap. A Gansett tall boy is $2, and there's always some sort of beer special going on. The food is pretty good for pub grub, now that I've moved on from the $1 grilled cheese that used to be on the menu back in high school.
(4)Holly M.
Great small time bar near the airport. Its kinda laid back and cool and a big hang out for the Harley types in the summer. I spent many an afternoon here when I was younger... but it can have a bit of an older crowd feel to it. Its dingy, but cool. And even has a pool table, or it did anyway.
(3)Lou P.
Lots of open seats Perfect place for a Sox game A Rhody classic I have a lot of events at Crowne Plaza, and Dave's is the go to watering hole for an evening nightcap (or several.) They're not too swift with the table service, but on weeknights there's never a lack of seating, and I've always been able to score a high-top table for 8 or more no problem. The bread and butter of Dave's is the sports watching community, and they cater to those folks by placing a television in almost every visible corner of the room. On a summer afternoon it's the perfect place to go to take in a baseball game and grab a bite. They will NEVER be out of Narragansett, so you're safe ordering pitcher after pitcher. The food isn't the best, but I've never really come here for the food anyway. I just love being able to have a place to gather groups on weekday nights knowing the beer's relatively cheap and we'll be able to get seats.
(3)Jay E.
Dave's Bar and Grille is a hidden gem in Warwick. A great sports pub type atmosphere, friendly service and awesome food. Every time we go we get their famous burgers with crispy fries, and one of their draft beers or pink lemonade. This is the place to watch a Patriots, Sox, Bruins, or Celtics game. Highly recommend.
(4)M G.
Loved the beer menu. Food was pretty good too. Great atmosphere, we had a blast hanging at the bar even though we were out of towners. Would definitely go back.
(4)Ben D.
Pretty good food, especially the chicken quesadilla. Huge portions, but not the finest-quality ingredients. It's a sports bar. The staff are compatible with the most decidedly sports-bar atmosphere of pop music, numerous flat-screen TVs, arcade games and a pool table. Though my experience involved a waitress who was fun and sassy at first, but then got kind of annoying towards the end of our meal because she wanted to leave and wanted us to cash out. It's a great local hangout, and a fantastic destination if you want to stuff and pickle yourself while catching that must-see game. Not fine dining by any measure, but it definitely hits the spot and will leave you stuffed.
(4)Melissa S.
I went to Dave's last weekend with some friends and we all had a really good time. It was a Sunday night so the place was not overly loud or busy and we were able to grab a table and sit down right away. Our server was really great and he put up with a lot of our nonsense; we moved tables changed orders and open and closed a tab throughout the night and he did not hesitate once. When I asked for a larger straw(I only had a mixing straw at the time) for my adult beverage he came right over and even called it a "big girl straw" that amused me. I only ordered drinks but they were made exactly as I like them and the price was fair. My friends ordered the nachos and although I did not have any they looked pretty good. What I can say for food at Dave's is that their grilled cheese and fries are pretty amazing and easy on the wallet if you are looking to spend more on the "Bar" part and less on the "Grille". The only downfall of the establishment is the parking lot. It is small and odd in shape and always super busy. Even on a Sunday the parking lot was pretty full so carpool with friends if you are going in a group and save yourself the headache of trying to find a spot for all of your cars.
(4)Kyle G.
The food is pretty decent for what it is. Big boy on bar has got to be the laziest worst bartender I've ever seen. Seriously a dead Tuesday night and this guy walked in circles avoiding customers and passing on requests for service to the other bartenders he should be fired. Thankfully his be speckled counter part Josh saved the day. Reminder table service stops about 915pm so make sure u beg for the food at the bar ;) chili and nachos very good

The food is good and they have an outstanding craft beer selection on draught. Ambiance is like sitting in a Dennys, but that seems to make sense for a place that sits in the shadow of the airport.

Recently grabbed takeout here- turkey club and burgers...yum. It is pub food, nothing more nothing less

Wicked good food and service. Everytime I have been there the food has been very good and very plentiful and the service has been friendly and attentive. Dave's is a local institution and does what it does very well. Last time I was there I sat next to Gene Valicente from Channel 10 - c'mon, what else do you want?
