No shade or tea, but shade and tea, i really don't get the hype of this place. It took over 30 minutes for my meal to come back and there were only 5-6 tables. That wasn't even my problem though - I had ordered a mild slider and many chicken spots offer mild where you get a nice kick. their tender had not an ounce of spice and it was lacking flavor. Maybe I need to go to medium but they also offer a "no spice" tender and I'm confused where that one and mild differ. I also got the loaded fires with mild and they were very und... 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.

I'm so disappointed, I traveled 40 mins here after my oven broke at my house to get a meal with my bf. Woke up this morning to him puking his brains out, not too much later I was doing the same and had to call off my first day of a new job. Not only did we feel sickness from this food it kept us up all night with pain. When arriving at this spot in Newington the girls behind the counter play dumb and don't do their job. I had orders a big amount of food up to 60$ worth of food. Got a 2 sandwich's with no cheese after reques... read more

Went there at 8:20 on a Thursday night and waited there for 53 minutes. They took my order within 5 minutes of me getting there as there was a small line of 3 people and it still took them 53 minutes to bring out my food to go. When i asked the manager what's taking so long he blamed the big online orders and was talking down on me. One of the employees behind the register kept rolling eyes at customers and there was staff just filling up drinks instead of cooking. 2/5 just because food was decent.

Food 8/10. Atmosphere 2/10 (and that's being generous). Service 5/10. Ok, to start off with, as this is a food establishment, I would say it was quite tasty and the side sauce was pretty good as well. I went for a medium heat and it was what I would expect. The food descriptions on the menu are deceiving as they call the sandwich a "slider," but it's a full on chicken sandwich. I got the combo which includes a "slider" and a tender, but these were both full slabs of chicken. No complaints per se, but when you are l... read more
