Man. I'm really let down by this one. I have a friend in Colorado who swore by this place, would beg me to find the nearest and try it. When I told him one was opening he asked me everyday if I had it yet. Finally tried it and I was pretty let down. We ordered 4 sliders and 2 tenders with fries and a side of Mac N cheese. We only received 3 sliders and 1 tender. Not a huge deal, a bummer but not a deal breaker. Food was hot and fresh.... The chicken looked promising....... It was not ⁔ it was like gnawing on breading and try... read more

I was fortunate to be able to visit when there wasn't a crazy wait. I ordered online and everything was available when I arrived. The food quality was awesome, the buns were my favorite haha. The chicken was huge and great quality, I just didn't love the seasoning they used. Not sure if it was the heat level I ordered or if all of their seasonings are this way, but it was just kind of a salty dry rub. there are so many chicken places around now, I think this was stands out as different than other hot chicken places, but it's... read more

The chicken was amazing. The hot sauce went from sweet to nose clearing hot depending on the bite. Only complaint is that for what is essentially fast food, I'm paying a premium price. Almost $20 with tip for the combo and a drink.

This place is a hip new joint off of Mass Ave. There is tons of metered street parking available in front of the restaurant and within walking distance. There are colorful murals all along the walls and music playing throughout the joint. This place has a lot going on here. It was very loud in there. How loud you ask? Loud enough that they need a PA system to announce orders ready for pick up. The place was packed during my visit. I got the 2 slider with fries meal and opted for the hot sauce with cheese. The staff there are... read more

I decided to visit while I was already on Mass Ave and saw there was no line. The place was clean and the staff were super friendly and informed about the menu. We ordered the 2 tenders and fries and added a slider and extra tender. I'm a spicy girl, but was warned against getting hot, so I went with medium and I'm glad I did because it did have some kick to it. The fries were well seasoned and the chicken was hot and fresh. Overall, the food was good and I would visit again. We ended up spending almost $30, including the ... read more

Really great chicken, definitely messy to eat though. Mac n cheese was average, but fries and chicken were both spot on.

Dave's, although a little on the pricier side for a chicken sandwich, hits all the check marks. The chicken is succulent and juicy, the fries are some of the best crinkle cut fries out there, and the pickles add a much needed crunch and dill contrast to the heat of the chicken. Would i come here daily or weekly like i do with Chick Fil A? Probably not. But it's good enough that you will definitely come here once a month! Also halal, which is a huge bonus for all the Muslim folks out there.
