The sliders are super yummy. We had two Dave's #2, one hot and one mild. The hot didn't really bring the heat, but still a good sandwich. Strawberry milkshake was also solid.

The stuff showed halal certification. I searched and found that one of the suppliers is Crescent chicken. Also manager verbally stated hand slaughter. The manager was non Muslim. So, seems like they were trained.
