Dave's Hot Chicken

The chicken was surprisingly crispy, on top of being just straight up delicious. I went shortly after their grand opening, while the line was out the door, I had my food in hand in about 20 minutes. The menu is fairly straightforward, how spicy do you want your chicken? And do you want it on a bun? I tried an medium and mild. I thought the medium was perfect as it was spicy enough without ruining the flavor of the chicken or Dave's Sauce. Also had the fries and a strawberry shake. The shake was solid, not super thick, whic... read more

I was so looking forward to this place opening. I went opening day and once since. It was ok. Definitely tastier than, say, B.Good but not good enough to justify the price. It's not bad but the tastiest part is the kale slaw. The Mac n cheese is skippable. I like the sliders and the cost makes sense given the size. But there's just something missing for me. The dry seasoning on the fries just washes out the balance they might offer. I might go again if I'm craving a chicken slider but it won't be a go-to spot for me.

IDK I can't find out their hours because they don't answer phones. Would like to try going late but Yelp is notoriously inaccurate when listing hours of operation. Says open til 11:00 but I don't want to drive there & find out they close @ 9 or 10. BTW I haven't tried yet but would like to. What are their hours?

Came here with my sister when we were driving by and saw a giant line out the door and decided we had to try. Line moved pretty fast and service was super friendly which is always very appreciated when places are super busy! We got a mix of tenders and sliders and really enjoyed, chicken was perfectly juicy and well spiced according to the levels we had chosen. The portions and quality are really great for the price IMO. I would recommend getting the combo tender and slider just to experience everything. Hoping they turn on ... read more

There was no line when I arrived on Sunday night around 10pm. Although, I did noticed that they closed after taking our order and it was not 12am yet. I really liked the decor here and it was very appealing to the eyes. I ordered the meal with the 2 sliders. I was expecting the sliders to be much smaller but they are basically the size of a sandwich. Definitely too much for me to eat by myself and for the price, it is pretty cheap. The chicken was extremely juicy and the flavors were amazing. It was seasoned very well. I... read more

Solid option for some nash hot chicken in MA. During the first weekend of opening, we paid a visit to Newton and stopped in to get the chicken goodness. Lines were long but it moved fairly quick--they had all registers open and some folks on iPads also checking people in with their orders. The chicken was moist and they have a wide variety of spice levels. I went all in on the reaper and it had good heat and great flavor to it. Might not be for the faint of heart of course. Fries I thought were average. Pickles that come... read more

This just opened in Newton! The line was out the door but surprisingly it moved fairly quick. 30-45 minute wait I would say. The place smaller than I thought tbh. Went up and ordered (2) #3 where we get fries, chicken tender, and a chicken sandwich. One medium and hot. It's nice that you're able to swap fries for another side for no extra price so we did mac n cheese Medium plate: not spicy at level, very mild if even. Personally would've preferred a little more heat on the sand which. I really liked their cold slaw. Thei... read more

For a place that just opened up, Dave's really has their sh*t together. The line was out the door but it moved very quickly with the staff being knowledgeable and having two registers open. The food also came out very fast, I think my two combos took about 10 mins. The chicken itself was amazing, super flavorful, "hot" was pretty spicy as well. The white bread, chicken, Dave's sauce, and honey make for the perfect bite. The only con is probably that it's on the pricier side but overall fantastic and would definitely come b... read more
