I meant to leave this review while I was in town a week or so ago but better late than never in some cases. This was my second stop at Dave’s and I didn’t leave a review that time either – the burger was stellar that time as well, which speaks to product consistency.
The burger here is in my mind what the solid, basic burger used to be at 5Guys years ago before all the expansion and crazy price increases killed them for me. An added bonus that I think a lot of places are switching to, fries in beef tallow.
I’m debating where I want to live and Dave’s will definitely be a check in the affirmative column for Cookeville.

They have a delicious Hamburger and sidewinder fries make sure You stop by and get You a burger the next time You go through there. #greatbugers #dontmissthis
Update I tried the mozzarella sticks, they are delicious & I will post a picture of couple of them below but just a side note make sure you get your burger orders in before Travis leaves because he makes a better burger then his old man.
Yeah go by and put yours orders in with Brian & Travis they are some great guys.

Great burger. The sauce was good, but it was messy to eat (not a con, just an fyi.) I should have asked if they had pickles, as that was the only thing missing for me. Our party also got sidewinder fries and onion rings. Both were good. They overspent on packaging, with boxed food inside of a branded, sturdy paper bag that went directly in the trash 10 ft away. I’d love to pay a dollar less and minimize the trash generated. Speaking of price, these burgers were not cheap, but I’m not saying they weren’t worth it. At this price point you can get just about any burger in town, so they better be the best. When I come back, I’m confident I’ll get a great burger, but the next time it’s burger night I may keep my options open.

Definitely one of best burgers I had in Cookeville! I not a big onion person but a must have on these burgers! They are hot and fresh off the grill. I had someone pick up my order and by time they brought it back to me it was still hot. Every bite was juicy and melty.

Food was absolutely delicious, everyone was very respectful, and the food was very affordable. If you haven’t already put Dave’s old fashion burger on your list for the best burger in Tennessee and maybe the south you need too , don’t tell my mom.

I ordered the double with sidewinder fries. The fries are so greasy, dirty oil tasting. I threw them away. The double burger paddies are swallowed by the bun. A gob of goop called Dave’s sauce just made it messy. There was no tomato, but a tomato peal. One piece of a leaf of lettuce. The absolute worst burger and fries. Do not go here.
Dear Dave, Replying to your response. I drove across town to try you burger because of the rave reviews. This is an honest analysis, not a bashing. I would have told you to you face, but I didn’t start to eat until I arrived back across town at my residence. It’s not about the money, i.e. refund. I’m not a keyboard warrior either. It’s about helping ppl not make the same mistake I did. My fault for not checking the box to make sure it was as ordered. Your fault for serving it. Your product is inferior. You had to know that what you served was as I described it. You prepared it and served it. Good Luck.
