"I finally moved back to cali and the first thing i had to do was door dash some Dave's. Can NEVERRR go wrong with these meals, they are so bombbbb!!!!"
"My only complaints are how "meals" don't include a drink and the high price. It seems like everything is expensive these days so at least you get a decent amount for what you pay. No charge to change fries in the "meal" to Mac and cheese, great option because fries are always cold and soggy by the time they are delivered. My 10 year old is obsessed with this place, he needs at least medium level spice on his sandwich to taste, hot is sometimes a little too much but he still eats it. I get the mild 10 piece bites with Mac, usally have a little bit left over for later."

"The Family Pack is a great value! The smashburgers are always flavorful and tasty. The crinkle fries aren't anything special in my opinion (the container can make them a bit soggy), but we add a little seasoning and throw them in our air fryer to get them just right. With burgers + fries + a drink, the Family Pack comes with just enough food to satisfy our small family!"
"Chubzies is the BEST. The texture and salt levels of the beef is perfect. The way they grill their onions rivals In N Out, though I will take Chubzies over In N Out any day. The family pack is a great deal! Feeding a family of 4 under $40 isn't easy these days, but their large fries there are enough salty, crispy fries for everyone. We regularly eat here and you should too."

They do not put nearly enough chocolate chips inside to considered it "filled" in my opinion. I only received one of the two I ordered so I cannot compare the two to see if maybe the one I had was a dud."

Last time the -go to- French dip was not as great as it used to be but must've had an off day because today its delicious and I would like some more. Asap. I ordered it for takeout but inside Carolyns is like cheers the tv show in a way. Its where everybody knows your name. The staff is awesome and quick, the chefs are quick and make insanely yummy everything on the menu. Just pl try it. I put on extra stuff from home on my food, ALWAYS, andfrom everywhere so dont let my photos be your guide. Just showing the yumminess. "
"The French dip is not only a must have but a beautiful rainbow of deliciousness on your tastebud's! Take my advice and order extra Au Jus to dip your fries in. You won't be disappointed. You could also thicken the Au Jus using flour/starch or whatever you're supposed to use. Don't thicken much as you want the savory OG Au Jus to taste perfect. Then add the shreds of roast beef that fall off and maybe some cheese and dip em in the Jus. Invention is superb !!! Thanks Carolyn's. You've outdone yourselves. "
