First time ever stopping in. Definitely was not disappointed. Decided to try one of their tenderloins that they're supposed to be famous for. It was humongous and delicious. Had those old school crinkle cut fries. Has indoor and outdoor seating and to go. If you're in the area it's definitely worth a stop.

We frequent here about once a week. Love the sausage sandwich, burgers and grilled tenderloins. The cheese curds and veggie basket is our go to sides. Usually we get carry out because the dining room needs updated. The chairs are very wobbly and the booths are very small. Also, need to focus on someone to sanitize and wash tables between guests. Other than that, staff is friendly and service is fast.

Mr Dave's, what a wonderful local place. I found this while driving a wrestling team to Manchester University. I had the fish and chips, only the second time my fish stayed crispy. First were hit and crispy outside tender inside. The staff were very sweet and handled the lunch rush I walked into like champs. I will definitely come back next time I'm in town!!

Classic restaurant, good country cooking too. “Broasted” stuff and deep fried, big menu selection, fairly good kids selection (kids meals come with a sucker), and coke products. Good seating but maybe not too much room for crowded times. Food for 5 came out in a timely manner (minus a food star for greasy fries, not all but at least half)

It's hard to find a good deep fried corn dog outside of county fairs and Culvers. Mr Dave's has a great kids meal deal that also includes sm fries and sm drink. Perfect for kids, and for adults who crave fair season food throughout the year.I'm told the tenderloins are worth a try as well.

Have very good large burgers and famous pork tenderloins as well as pulled pork bbq. Food is always good here. A bit on the pricey side however I feel it is worth the spend once in a while. A nice place to try out if you are in the neighborhood.

Tenderloin was huge and absolutely delicious. Chicken strips were also very good. Fries were Ok. They are crinkle cut and weren't very crispy so not my favorite. Ice cream was delicious. The hot fudge sundae and Strawberry sundae were both very good. The hot fudge is very good.It only has 7 booths, 1 table that seats 6 and 1 table that seats 4. So not alot of seating and the chairs at the tables are a little rickety but they are cute :).Overall a great place to stop and eat. We will definitely stop again when in this area.
