Dave's is tucked away in a little three-tenant building just south of Rt. 50. You can only turn into their parking lot coming southbound on Walney Rd. I've passed by and seen this place for the last 15-odd years but this my first try. There's not much ambiance. But the place is clean, well-lit, and there was some smooth jazz coming out of the speakers. There are about 6 tables inside. I ordered the fish sampler platter with mashed potatoes and gravy, and mac and cheese. I also ordered three jumbo chicken wings.The sampler platter came with three breaded and fried fillets. According to the menu, they were whiting, trout and "catfish (swai)". I couldn't definitively tell which was which, but I think the whiting and trout were the thinnest. One of those, perhaps the whiting, had a distinct fishy taste. What I assume to be the swai was thicker and quite mild and tasty. The batter on all three was crispy and had a bit of salt in it. I did find about three pin bones across all the pieces, so be careful. A note on swai: this is an Asian species completely different than any real catfish species. There is an FDA law that says it cannot be labeled as catfish. This is why I believe it's listed the way it is on the menu. Read up on swai and make your own determination. For me, it's tasty, and I'll probably return to Dave's in the future to get an order of just that. The fish came with a small container of tartar sauce. The mac and cheese was average. It's possibly from a box, but still good. The mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. Also possibly from a box. But, combined with the gravy (probably from a packet mix), it brought back to me fond memories of 1980s elementary school lunches. Those mashed potatoes and gravy were the bestest! (Pizza slices sucked, but pizza boats were great; hamburgers sucked, but Salisbury steak was great.)The jumbo chicken wings were huge! Each one is the uncut whole wing -- tip, flat, and drumette. So an order of three is like ordering six regular "wings". They included a small container of their special mombo sauce, and an even smaller container of hot sauce which was very close in flavor to Crystal hot sauce. The mombo sauce was fine. It was slightly sweet, slightly spicy, but not really mouth-poppingly fantastic. The wings were super crispy and meltingly hot -- so much so that the takeout container was a bit melted and warped in some spots.No one said this was healthy. But was it good? Yeah, it was good. Eat here when your better half (and likely better eater) is out of town. Also, call your order in ahead if you can because it took a good 15 minutes to prepare.

Another weekday solo lunch. Wife and I are both at work, so we don't have time to meet up for lunch. Time for me to go for fried seafood without veggies getting in the way!I went to my favorite place for fried wings, but this time I changed it up a bit to try their Fried Catfish. The fries are solidly crispy on the outside and fluffy and tasty on the inside. The Mac an Cheese is warm and tasty, but I prefer a drier mac and cheese, not the saucy style they serve here.Next time, I'll go for fried rice or coleslaw as a side.Staff is always friendly and the restaurant is clean and inviting. Other items I've had that are good are the fried shrimp and whiting.One day, I'll have to try breakfast here.VIDEO:https://youtu.be/X_5WxByltV8

It's an underrated hidden gem. It's a local neighborhood, hole in the wall. The interior is nothing special. But the folks at the front desk makes you feel warm. Food wise, everything we've ordered we liked and you definitely get your money's worth. Would recommend checking out.

Awesome fish. Can't go wrong with the catfish and the hush puppies! But any fish is great there. Also service with a smile.

came here on a whim with my mom & bebs! was not very busy when I arrived & ordered, but after, at least 4 more people came by to order. ordered a catfish sandwich for my mom & a fish sampler with mashed potatoes & gravy and mac & cheese for myself. the wait was about 20 minutes, but man, did it feel long because there's no air in this shop! they could've turned on the ceiling fans or AC as it was 100 degrees outside, but it was only barely cooler in there than outside. the food was good! the catfish was well seasoned, but not as good as the catfish at Johnny Ray's Sultry Soul Food in my opinion. the fish in my sampler had a lot of bones, so just be careful. the sandwich wasn't bad, but my mom wasn't very impressed. I pulled some fish meat for my baby & mixed it in with the mac & cheese which he seemed to love!it's in a small shopping center & the guy at the front has a very loud voice. it's such a great little find in a small, hidden area.

The fried shrimp here makes me experience what I imagine heaven to be like from the comfort of the earthly, mortal realm. It's a tiny little store tucked in a corner, with a plain sign and seemingly no real advertisement, as all the best small business food places are. It's a deli counter, and I've seen the people taking orders deal with horrific customers with nothing but a smile and gentle patience. Somehow, this makes hangry customers cool off a little. I admire their skill, and hope to emulate that kind of strength of will in my own life.I will NEVER stop talking about this place to everyone I know, along with random people on the street, and Facebook friends I haven't spoken to in years. 100000/10.

A simple yet great breakfast or lunch diner adjacent to an industrial park. I usually get the 3-piece fish sampler (trout, catfish, tilapia) with fries and hush puppies. Small dining room with friendly service. I could eat there at least once a week.

I had some really good chicken wings and fried from here. Everything was made fresh to order! I read the reviews before ordering and I could see what folks were talking about. The wings were huge. 3 wings feels like 6 wings.
