Very good chicken - nice crisp with varying spice levels and moist inside. Had a hot slider and a medium tender. Hot was enough to make my nose run and I don't think I'd take it hotter but if you're a spice demon there are 2 levels hotter. Slider was nice because it added slaw and sauce along with big, crunchy pickles (I'm usually not a pickle on sandwich guy but these are good). Medium spice level seemed much milder than hot. Tender was good but needed some Dave's sauce or honey to top it - both come free. Place just opene... read more

This Dave's location just opened on 6/9/23 and I had seen advertisements on my Instagram for it and went to try it out today. It is just off the highway, and is located right next to the Boston Market location in Chelmsford. It is also nearby the shopping plaza so plenty of parking. Funky exterior/interior which was commissioned by @dehmq on Instagram gives the space a kind of modern feel too. Wife and I ordered the Dave's combo #3 today as takeout. Really juicy delicious chicken with a nice spice rub on it, a great slaw to... read more

Business response:

Glad that you and your wife loved it! And yes we def encourage you to try something a little spicier if it's what you're thinking! We can't wait to have you back!

OK so it's been about a year plus since my last review. Late last spring my wife and I both got food poisoning after eating there and I swore never again. My son and his friend wanted DHC this past weekend so I said fine, it's been awhile - one more shot. Ordered 3 dave's bites meals on the app and got there before the food was ready. My name comes up and they give me our food. Chicken was barely lukewarm and mushy, not hot and crispy as in the past. Fries were ICE COLD. The app asked me to review them and I shared what ... read more

i gave them a couple tries, each time i was on the toilet right after i ate the sliders with diarrhea, the chicken tastes like its smothered in chili powder and must either be under cooked or sitting out too long gaining bacteria! all set with this place NEVER AGAIN!!!

I call this Dave's Bubblegut Chicken now. Don't eat it unless you want an upset stomach and plenty of time on the toilet.
