What an amazing new restaurant in Newington! The food was unbelievably delicious. We got sliders, tenders, fries and the cauliflower tenders. Asides from the food being out of this world, the employees were super friendly! Can't wait to go back 

Business response:

5 stars back to you for being an amazing guest! Thanks for the love and see you next time!

Ok, I'll be the first to admit it. There are a million hot chicken places now. So will Dave's stand out in the crowd? Busy but not insane. Standing in the intimidating line it only took about 10 min to place my order then another 10 min or so to get my order - not bad for a fresh opening. Service - friendly. Picture Popeyes but w Chick-fil-A standards. Menu is limited to chicken or cauliflower. Not many variations. "Meals" do not include a drink but prices are steep - they really should include a drink. Flavor - ok thes... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken in Newington has officially opened, and I am beyond thrilled that I finally got to try their signature chicken sliders with fries and a Dave's Orange Creamsicle slusher. One of the highlights of my visit was the outstanding customer service--every staff member greeted guests warmly, creating a welcoming atmosphere for those patiently waiting in line. Everything ran smoothly, and I had no complaints. I'm not the best at remembering names, but I truly appreciated how the staff made me feel welcome and even ... read more

The first times I went to Dave's was in Queensbury after the grand opening. This one in Newington has smaller chicken, not as good taste and the place is not so clean. I also think the Dave's in Queensbury has declined. We wonder if the private equity acquisition has anything to do with it?? Regardless Haven Hot Chicken is So Much Better!

We had an issue with our order, specifically our $6 a piece slushees and expressed our concerns via email. They were not made correctly at all. We got a "thanks we'll pass the message along to help others in the future" kinda response and it left a bad taste in our mouth. We spent $60+ total and will not be returning or recommending as their customer service is actually horrible. The employees in the shop are nice. But good luck getting any issues resolved by higher management. Quality control matters. In this econom... read more

We've eaten there 3 times. The first two were great; the 3rd... Chicken tenders were supposed to be Mild (2); more like a 5 or 6 (Extra Hot or Reaper). The fries were as though they had been triply salted: crunchy with salt. Can't blame it on being busy; there were only two other small groups in the place.
