Dave’s Hot Chicken

Patio has ceiling speakers that are difficult to find a quieter spot away from. The staff kindly turned the music down upon request and even came out to check if the new volume was good. (The new level was the volume measured for this sound check.) The patio is built on a side street far away from the main road, so minimal traffic noise with the occasional slow car or motorcycle driving by.

Metal and wood on the inside walls & counters plus a concrete floor make for lots of sound bouncing around (even usually-quiet things like a plastic cup dropping on the floor). Semi-open kitchen (3/4 enclosed), so that sound contributes a bit as well. The employees announce over a speaker when your food is ready. Music was playing loudly over the speakers, even louder out on the patio (though they kindly turned it down on request). Great food though - I’ll be getting some via takeout next time. They have a handy pickup window by the entrance, so you can walk up to get meals to-go without having to enter.
