About this business

TO LIVE AND FRY IN L.A. In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept — take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw — they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken is to die for. I was so excited to see they opened in Newton and couldn't wait to try it. I hardly ever eat food like this so I went when I was having a bad day to treat myself, and It was so worth it. I got a single hot tender which was pretty big and filling. It was served on a piece of toast with a side of sauce and pickles. The crunch and flavor was perfect and it totally hit the spot. You have to try it!

Dave's Hot Chicken is Newton is a solid 12/10. First off, the chicken sandwiches are out of this world. The slider bread, kale slaw, and pickles in addition to the chicken make this the perfect sandwich! The spice levels are perfect for anyone-from those who don't want any spice all the way to the more daring spice fanatics. Honestly, skip any other eatery like Chick-Fil-A, Wendy's, etc. Dave's gives you QUALITY chicken and ingredients so you don't feel disgusting after you eat it. And for the prices they offer the food, i... read more

Solid chicken sandwich a bit outside of Boston in Newton! One mix up people may have is to mistake a slider for a small chicken sandwich but it is a decent size for 1 person! We got their slider, some fries, and a strawberry milkshake. To my surprise, since I am not a huge sandwich fan, I was pleasantly surprised by how filling and yummy everything was! And the strawberry milkshake had a pretty good consistency and taste too. The only thing was that the chicken sandwich tasted more spicy rather than flavorful the higher the... read more

Tried Dave's for the first time recently (ordered delivery) and was shocked by how SALTY everything was. So salty both my boyfriend and I couldn't finish it. I don't know if this was maybe a fluke, but because of how overwhelmingly salty everything was, I don't know that I'd eat here again. 3 stars because the sauce was delicious and the fries and chicken were good, but the seasoning was way too much. We also got medium spice and didn't feel it was spicy at all.
