  • "Great place to get a bite on a nice summer day!! The staff were friendly and very helpful. They didn’t rush through taking our big order and they got everything right the first time. Plenty of parking and places to eat outside. There is seating inside, but we chose to eat outside under the canopy at a picnic table area."

    —Jacob J.

  • "In my season-long quest for outdoor roadside eateries, today I landed at Dave's Place. Delicious 1/4 lb hamburger and fries served with a large soft drink for $13 and some change. Good portions, friendly service, good price. I definitely recommend!"

    —Scott P.

  • "I was on the road at lunch time and stopped in. I love local independent places and David's was great. A lot of reasonably priced choices so I hope I have a chance to go back. I had the steak bomb sandwich which was really good. I didn't have to wait but I bet it gets busy."

    —Andrew D.

  • "Brought my nephew for Lobster Rolls, he ate two, said they were a 10 on scale of 1 to 10, they were heaping with lobster. he got an order of fries, was a plate full of fries, which were excellent. cole slaw was excellent too. followed it up with ice cream, with sprinkles, two big scoops, he said it was excellent."

    —C. Bart

  • "I’m honestly surprised this place isn’t rated higher. We stopped in after visiting the Dinosaur Place across the street and had a great experience. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. I had the lobster roll, my husband got a burger, and our son had a hot dog — all of it hit the spot. The menu has a nice variety, and there’s plenty of outdoor seating, which made it perfect for a casual, family-friendly meal."

    —Heather B.

  • "Second time I have been here. First was with my daughters 15th birthday last year. Took her to deprivation tank therapy. This year for her 16th I took her for her first tattoo! David's it is again for birthday lunch! Great food, fast service! Thank you!"

    —Amber L.
