Wanted to try Dave's for a while so we stopped in Saturday night just after 11pm. I was bummed there was no drive thru. Went in and ordered #1 2 tenders and fries medium heat. Got the food super fast. While there was nothing wrong with the chicken, I found it was very underwhelming. For a place that only does chicken, I thought it would be some really good stuff. It reminded me of the tenders you can get at the Market Basket grill. The chicken seemed a little rubbery and the coating close to the meat was like paste. ... read more

We order from Dave's once or twice per week. We always get the hot tenders, fries, and coleslaw. Often, we get the chicken sandwiches. Our favorite item was the "not chicken", cauliflower. Unfortunately, in the recent weeks this item was replaced by the chicken bites. We will miss it!! As previously mentioned, we have been going here once a week since opening in Saugus. Not anymore. We were served raw chicken tonight. Deeply disappointed and concerned over food safety and our health after eating this. Photo attached.

I like daves hot chicken it's just the mild chicken isn't spicy enough it tastes more sweet but I don't know and I asked for no pickles and they threw them at my face and said eat them which is extremely rude but over all I did not like the service but the food is to die for

This place is ridiculous. I needed to place a large order for a catering didn't care if I had to purchase 30 diffrent orders. And spoke to Sammy told him I was driving I knew what I wanted I also could pay over the phone and they refused to take my order. Pretty rude and just said nothing he could do. They are not allowed to take food orders over the phone . Honestly I can see why this is one of the lowest ranking daves hot chicken: I ended up ordering from somewhere else where humans can actually speak to you . Such a sha... read more

Way too expensive for the portions, chicken is over seasoned while simultaneously having no flavor

I should have known better soon as I walked out with the bag of food I knew it was light. A chicken tender with a french fry for $10.69? Come on I can do better at a handful of places around in that price range. 

Business response:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It’s clear we need to do better. If you could get in touch with us at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc, we'd welcome the chance to make it up to you.

Sam was great taking our order answering questions. However the chicken was loaded with seasoning. At this point we couldnt even eat it. The sauces were blah. How do you not have dipping sauces especially honey mustard?! Very pricey for what you get. 

Business response:

Hey, thanks for giving us a shot even though we didn’t quite make the cut. Two stars means we've got room to grow, and we're keen on doing just that. Could you help us out and let us know what we can improve at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc? We're all about getting better!

Consistently inconsistent. Wait times range from 10-30 minutes even online orders. On this day people ordered and received their order before my online order. My other visit took 20 mins to get the order in person. Can't waste this time going there for lunch anymore. Has been better the last few times

We're pretty bummed to see your 2-star review—it's not the experience we strive to provide. We're here to listen and make it better. Drop us a line at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc and help us step up our game.
