I came on opening weekend. The line was outside but moved quickly. The manager came out and explained the menu and let's in groups of people at a time. It was very organized. I ordered the two sliders, mild. With fries and a side of Mac and cheese. The mild was still pretty spicy as it made my nose bridge sweat LOL. The sliders were HUGE, so don't get hung up on the word "slider". I could only eat one of mine before becoming full. The tenders were big and juicy. Not dry at all. But lacked flavor other than just the SPICINESS... read more

Deliciously scrumptious selections to indulge the taste buds, while the atmosphere is illuminating with lots of colorful energy!!! Situated in a fun, up and coming, hip neighborhood with lots of new shops. Food selections are perfectly minimal, yet quantity is more than enough. Chicken, milkshakes, sides, and beer what more does one want for a fast casual delectable meal. Having a goal to eat all on my plate, I was totally stuffed for the rest of the day. Spices, heat levels and juicy meat were a rollercoaster of excite... read more

Wow! So excited to have this place on Mass Ave! My roommate and I went the grand opening and we loved it! The line moved quickly and the food was hot and fresh! I had had their tenders before at another location so I knew Medium was the heat level for me. It's spicy but not fire spicy or unbearable. I really enjoy that their menu only has 3 entree options. It's simple and it's good. I will be back frequently. I love the pickles and bread included as well. My roommate loved putting the honey on her tenders too!

They didn't have shakes. Paying $14 for two chicken tenders (decent sized, juicy) is crazy even with pandemic prices. There's only two items on the menu, tenders and sliders, which makes it easier to order. Just know your spice level. Mine is medium

Our group came on grand opening day and we loved it. Staff super friendly and very cheerful. We got goodies for coming on grand opening. I got the hot spice level. Definitely more spicier than I expected but it was good. I added cheese on everything. Everything came out fast and fresh for how busy they were. Cant wait to come back!

I've been to several Dave's Hot Chicken spots and this one lived up to my memories. The thing I forgot though is just how much food you get! I did combo 3, which is a slider and a tender with fries. I did the slider with the hot spice level and the tender with the medium spice level. Love the level of spice from both of these. Hot is hot while not being too overpowering, they have 2 hotter flavors for that, and the medium lets you enjoy that phenomenal Nashville hot taste without packing too much heat. The crinkle cut fri... read more

Pros: Food was pretty good, the chicken tastes very juicy and the spice blend is nice. One of the managers claimed this is the "best chicken I'll ever eat". I've been to Nashville enough times to know that's not the case :) The staff is super friendly however and I was warned in advance about the heat levels. I've tried both hot and medium. There wasn't much difference but the hot is bearable. I'll probably try one level higher next time. Cons: The wait time is very long and they don't have online ordering. I'm sure this... read more
