Went back to Dave's in Newton again...this time to target their new Mozzarella sticks! I love Chili's hot honey mozzarella sticks and I'm glad I can find them easier now at Dave's. Chili's is hard to find around me. This time I ordered from their new kiosks....and it didn't even print my receipt out, but whatever my order was in on the screen. None of hte workers knew what to do about the machine and lack of a receipt but it didn't bother my order. This location also has a new tv screen with order status based on the platf... read more

The chicken is definitely hot. The menu features chicken strips - all fried. Because each order is custom made, it takes time to prepare the food. I think I waited 10 minutes to be served. I think the thing to do is call in your order rather than waiting for the chicken tenders to be prepared. They have high ceilings with lots of windows so the place is really bright. There is plenty of of seating. The shape of the restaurant is such that there is seating separated from the main dining area so there is more seating... read more

Love Dave's hot chicken as they always have the tastiest and tender chicken tenders. I got the Dave's #1 and #2. Basically the sliders and the tenders with fries and order a side of drinks. The portions are generous and I got mild which was a good balance. I love their sauce (Dave's sauce) and the staff are efficient and location is easy to find parking. I love the graffiti design on the walls and it's kept clean and neat! Highly recommend them!

Dave's Hot Chicken delivers exactly what it promises: a straightforward, satisfying meal centered around seriously crispy Nashville-style hot chicken. The real standout, as you noted, is the seven-level spice system, which ranges from "No Spice" to the infamous "Reaper". The progression isn't linear, there's a significant jump in heat starting at the "Medium" level, where you begin to feel a distinct tingle and burn. A few practical tips: each tender order comes with bread, pickles, and Dave's Sauce . For groups, they offe... read more

All the Dave's Hot Chicken never disappoint. Service at this location was fast and friendly. Ordered the #3 with an extra hot and a reaper chicken tender. I think this location has had the most spicy chicken tender from any restaurant I've tried. I was actually surprised how much my mouth was burning. Besides that, the chicken was super tender and fresh. The pickles and crunchy fries tasted amazing. Was hooked up with some extra Dave's sauce which was plus. Dave's capped off the night when everything else was closed.

Mmmm. SO GOOD. For once, those commercials with the people dramatically freaking out over how good the chicken is, are not false advertising! I stopped in for lunch and ordered the meal with two chicken sliders, thinking they were actual (small) sliders but to my surprise, they were normal sized sandwiches! I don't know how Dave did it, but he managed to make the chicken AND fries taste very unique/different from other fried chicken joints. It was a fantastic experience I was not expecting. Definitely check this place out!... read more
