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.

I love a good spicy chicken sandwich and have had many from different shops through Massachusetts. None of them left me in tears like the reaper at Dave's. 10/10 will not try that level of spice again but it was a fun adventure.
I know they just opened so I am trying to keep an open mind to this specific location, however the Woburn location is far better. I don't know what it is about the chicken here but it's way to thick and tough. Maybe they use a different vendor but the chicken quality is subpar to Woburn. Something to consider, management.

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.

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
