Regular Top-Loaded Fries
A bed of seasoned crinkle-cut fries loaded with creamy cheese sauce, pickles, kale slaw, six Dave's Bites, and a Dave's Sauce drizzle. The middle size — twice the bites of the Small for a full, satisfying loaded-fry meal.
About the Regular Top-Loaded Fries
Regular Top-Loaded Fries are the sweet-spot size in the loaded-fry lineup: the same crispy crinkle-cut fries, warm cheese sauce, dill pickles, kale slaw, and Dave's Sauce drizzle as the Small, but with six Nashville-style Dave's Bites on top instead of three. That extra protein turns it from a loaded side into a genuine meal you can eat solo without feeling short-changed.
Six bites means a better chicken-to-fry ratio in every forkful, so the Nashville spice runs through more of the dish. The cheese sauce and kale slaw still keep the heat balanced, while the pickles and Dave's Sauce keep each bite bright. It's the most popular of the three sizes for one good reason — it's the most complete single-person loaded-fry experience without tipping into the heavier Large portion.
What's Included the Regular Top-Loaded Fries
Seasoned Crinkle-Cut Fries
A full bed of Dave's signature crinkle-cut fries — crisp, seasoned, and ridged to hold every topping and stay crunchy under the load.
Creamy Cheese Sauce
A generous pour of warm cheese sauce coating the fries. Its richness melts into the slaw and bites and buffers the spice on top.
Kale Slaw & Pickles
Cool, tangy kale slaw and crunchy dill pickles add freshness and acid contrast that cut through the cheese and fries in every forkful.
6 Dave's Bites
Six Nashville-style white-meat chicken bites at your chosen heat level — double the Small — for a meal-worthy chicken-to-fry ratio.
Dave's Sauce Drizzle
A finishing drizzle of the signature creamy Dave's Sauce across the top ties the whole loaded stack together.

How to Customize
Choose Your Bite Heat
The six Dave's Bites can be set to any of the seven spice levels at no extra cost — from No Spice to Reaper depending on how fiery you want the dish.
Add Extra Bites
Add more Dave's Bites on top for an even heartier portion, or to push toward a Large-style chicken-to-fry ratio.
Extra Cheese Sauce
Request extra cheese sauce for more richness and more spice relief — useful when you order the bites at Hot or above.
Extra Dave's Sauce (+$0.50)
Add another drizzle or a side of Dave's Sauce to boost the creamy signature flavor across the whole dish.
Go Small or Large
Drop to the Small (3 bites) for a lighter portion or step up to the Large (10 bites) when you want maximum chicken and fries.
Best Pairings
Kale Slaw
A dedicated side of kale slaw adds even more cool, tangy contrast to balance the rich cheese sauce.
Best Contrast
Single Tender
Add a Nashville-style tender on the side for extra protein and a chance to taste the spice on a full tender.
Add Protein
Dave's Sauce
Order extra on the side for dipping and drizzling — more sauce gives you more control over the heat in every forkful.
