Tried this place opening weekend at the Chelmsford location. Not bad. Crinkle fries were pretty good. I opted for the "hot" level of spice. Not bad. I might go hotter next time. I'm not sure it's better than Popeye's, but I definitely plan on trying them again, I'll update my review if I do...
Won't go back from a while. Staff was great and the place was fun, but the chicken sandwiches were kind of tasteless, which is crazy since we're talking about hot chicken sandwiches... It lacked flavor, heat, the batter was thin, the frying was overdone. Shake was very good, and fries were okay.

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

YESS!!! We're so glad you loved it and that you tried the honey on your tender because it's awesome! Thanks for the love!
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

Ehh, it was alright but not as good as I expected. The place is pretty small and plain, you can eat there but there aren't many tables. It took a while to get our order, I'm hoping that they prepared it to order. Our chicken was very spicy but seemed kind of stringy, I thought it was the spinach my wife prepared with it but we had just chicken the next day and it was the chicken that was stringy.

Wow, you just made our day! Thanks a bunch for the stellar review. We’re super happy you had such a great time with us!
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!!!
