Fast Service... ordered online and the food was ready much faster than anticipated. Staff was friendly and helpful checking on my order, and the sliders were phenomenal worth the stop in!! Keep up the great work!!

I got a mild single slider and thought the fried chicken was great. The chicken was juicy and the honey made it a great sandwich. One thing to note is the spice levels here are muted - the mild was not spicy at all and I tried a bite of my friends Hot and it was still not very spicy. If you're looking for spicy hot, go for the highest option.

This restaurant started out great when they first opened, but the service and quality have slipped a bit since the opening. I ordered a slider and a side of fries. I placed the order at 6:15 PM and was told the order would be ready at 6:45 PM. I arrived at 6:35 PM and the food was already done. I ate out front outside and the food was already cold, especially the fries. Additionally, I asked for ketchup on the order and got honey instead. I also asked for cutlery and none was included. Lastly, the box was covered in s... read more

This is fast food, don't expect a Bertuccis, but for what this is, it is great quick tasty food when you want some chicken, fries and maybe some spice, depending what you order. I got Dave's #1 (2 tenders w/fries and I was pleasantly satisfied with my choice. Chicken was crispy, fries were not soggy and the sauce had some nice kick to it. I would not eat at Dave's every day/week, but it is a good faster food option in Newton, which needed this.

Well.. after waiting for the initial wave of new opening to blow over, I finally go to Dave's to give this Hot chicken a try. The Newton location was easy to find and parking at the location is busy. Since this was my first visit I figured I'd rate them on my hot and spicy scale. Ordered the number 1 with two tenders and added a extra tender. I also put in a order for a number 2 with two chicken sliders. Both with the Hot spice. My impressions were that the chicken was really good. The dry spices are simply great. No ... read more

3.5 stars? I got 1 x Dave's #1: 2 Tenders w/ Fries (1 x $11.99) = $11.99 Extra Hot 1 x Dave's #2: 2 Sliders w/ Fries (1 x $13.99) = $13.99 Hot SUBTOTAL $25.98 TAX $1.81 TOTAL $27.79 The extra hot was definitely spicy and I had to drink lots of water. The sauce also helped with easing the spiciness. For $30 for two, it was a decent meal and very filling. I cannot decide between 3 or 4 stars because the food was definitely good. It was just a little bit more than one meal but not enough to save as a leftover for the next me... read more

Decent/good place for chicken! I was very happy when I saw Dave's open on one of my favorite plazas, and I was happy to try it out. I ordered the Dave's #1 with medium spice level. The quality of the food was very good, and the chicken was prepared perfectly (no rough spots at all)- it was very juicy and tender. The fries were crinkle cut, and had a tasty bit of seasoning on them. The meal also came with pickles, which is always a plus. The food was good, very filling. I couldn't finish the meal. The service was decent, i ha... read more

The food was delicious. I got the sliders and I thought they were gonna be these tiny little chicken sandwiches. I ate one for lunch and had the other one later in the day. I'll be returning again
