I recently tried Dave's Hot Chicken, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. I ordered the sliders with fries, and everything came out fresh and hot. The spice levels are customizable, which is great whether you like mild flavors or extra heat. The fries were well-seasoned and paired perfectly with the signature Dave's sauce. The portions were generous, making it a good value for the price. The restaurant had a fun atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and efficient. Overall, Dave's Hot Chicken delivers delicious food, bold flavors, and satisfying portions. If you're a fan of spicy chicken sandwiches or tenders, it's definitely worth a visit. I would give it a 5 out of 5 stars. read more

Went back to Dave's in Newton again...this time to target their new Mozzarella sticks! I love Chili's hot honey mozzarella sticks and I'm glad I can find them easier now at Dave's. Chili's is hard to find around me. This time I ordered from their new kiosks....and it didn't even print my receipt out, but whatever my order was in on the screen. None of hte workers knew what to do about the machine and lack of a receipt but it didn't bother my order. This location also has a new tv screen with order status based on the platform you ordered from. Helpful. We got the usual, a couple of #2 combos. One of them I got one sandiwch mild and the other spicy but both of them tasted mild or something...it had zero heat at all. Funny thing is, the color of the sandwiches looked normal from all of my many previous orders, but flavor wise, they tasted the same. Weird. Still enjoyed them. The mozzarella sticks - I ordered a 5 pack. I can tell you size wise, they are very similar to the Chili's sticks. The crunch on these from Dave's was crunchier IMHO. However, the cheese is packed less densely here vs Chilis. The cheese pull is just as good on this first try, despite less cheese inside. When I ordered the 5 pack, it allowed only ONE spice level option. I wish I could've gotten some medium and some spicy etc. Not very sharing friendly. The staff was super friendly as usual. No problem getting my order and extra sauce packets etc. The place continues to look clean and well maintained. This location and framingham are my 2 fave locations for Dave's. read more

The chicken is definitely hot. The menu features chicken strips - all fried. Because each order is custom made, it takes time to prepare the food. I think I waited 10 minutes to be served. I think the thing to do is call in your order rather than waiting for the chicken tenders to be prepared. They have high ceilings with lots of windows so the place is really bright. There is plenty of of seating. The shape of the restaurant is such that there is seating separated from the main dining area so there is more seating than meats the eye. I would return. read more

All the Dave's Hot Chicken never disappoint. Service at this location was fast and friendly. Ordered the #3 with an extra hot and a reaper chicken tender. I think this location has had the most spicy chicken tender from any restaurant I've tried. I was actually surprised how much my mouth was burning. Besides that, the chicken was super tender and fresh. The pickles and crunchy fries tasted amazing. Was hooked up with some extra Dave's sauce which was plus. Dave's capped off the night when everything else was closed. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - #Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Love Dave's hot chicken as they always have the tastiest and tender chicken tenders. I got the Dave's #1 and #2. Basically the sliders and the tenders with fries and order a side of drinks. The portions are generous and I got mild which was a good balance. I love their sauce (Dave's sauce) and the staff are efficient and location is easy to find parking. I love the graffiti design on the walls and it's kept clean and neat! Highly recommend them! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken delivers exactly what it promises: a straightforward, satisfying meal centered around seriously crispy Nashville-style hot chicken. The real standout, as you noted, is the seven-level spice system, which ranges from "No Spice" to the infamous "Reaper". The progression isn't linear, there's a significant jump in heat starting at the "Medium" level, where you begin to feel a distinct tingle and burn. A few practical tips: each tender order comes with bread, pickles, and Dave's Sauce . For groups, they offer larger combo meals. It's also good to know that their chicken is Halal-certified. Overall, Dave's Hot Chicken is a fantastic spot for a crave-worthy, spicy fried chicken fix. The quality of the crispy chicken and that addictive sauce makes it a consistently good choice. read more

Mmmm. SO GOOD. For once, those commercials with the people dramatically freaking out over how good the chicken is, are not false advertising! I stopped in for lunch and ordered the meal with two chicken sliders, thinking they were actual (small) sliders but to my surprise, they were normal sized sandwiches! I don't know how Dave did it, but he managed to make the chicken AND fries taste very unique/different from other fried chicken joints. It was a fantastic experience I was not expecting. Definitely check this place out! :) read more

I liked it, got the #4 hot for $11 and ate it while mom was shopping. Hot definitely had a kick with no water but it was tasty, didn't get a chance to use the sauce but the rest was good. Flavorful, nice, slightly sweet, spice to it because I don't like the straight up sour buffalo spice type. Four not five star because they skimped on the slaw in the sandwich, I didn't even realize it was supposed to be in the sando until the last bite which had one bite of slaw. read more

Wow Dave's Hot Chicken is so good!! The chicken is always fresh, fries are well seasoned and I love how the pickles are dill. I ordered a Dave's #3 which came with 1 tender, slider, and fries.

Sandwich was excellent. Pretty high quality chicken. I got medium heat. Could have had more slaw. I should have specified. Bun is nothing special. It was small and basic. I really.like that you get a side of pickle slices . Fries were good with some seasoning. A bit bland bit I dipped them in the container of sauce that came with the sandwich. I liked the food here. It's counter service. Fast food. read more

I have to say, Dave's Chicken has been a huge disappointment. The texture of the chicken is terrible. It's so tough to pull apart, almost as if it hasn't been cooked properly. Are we talking medium-well chicken here? This is the second time I've eaten chicken from this place, and both times it's left me with excruciating stomach pain. I'm actually concerned it might be causing some sort of foodborne illness because the pain is so severe I feel like I should go to urgent care. I don't know what's going on in their kitchen, but this level of quality is unacceptable. Definitely not going back. read more

Let me preface by saying that I'm someone who thinks Buffalo chicken wings are hot. I ordered the medium spice (the middle option out of their scale of 7 possible heat levels ranging from No Spice to Reaper) and it was HOT. So much so that my mouth was on fire and couldn't exactly enjoy the rest of my meal because I was too focused on getting the heat out of my mouth. That being said, if you're someone who loves a chicken sandwich/tender with HEAT, Dave's Hot Chicken will certainly be your place. They do not play games with their heat levels. It's also not a patty in the slider, it's a tender which can be messy, but that makes it different than your average chicken sandwich! The fries were SO GOOD and as always, I love me a good special sauce. Their sauce is deeeeeelicious. The sauce pairs perfectly with the fries, bun, bread, chicken, just about everything... The service was normal (nothing super quick but I wasn't waiting for 20 mins either), staff is super friendly, and there's a parking lot in the little plaza within Needham Street but it can be packed depending on the time of day. All in all, a great spot if you're looking for a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich!! read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Combo meal #Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries (medium heat) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Dave's Hot Chicken... another chain that does chicken sandwiches! I love me a good chicken sandwich, especially spicy, so you know I had to give Dave's Hot Chicken a try. I've gotten their sandwich before, however, I first tried it from the Braintree location via Ubereats takeout. Didn't find it to be that good or spicy. Thought maybe it was because I got it takeout + had to heat it back up, that it wasn't that good. Figured trying it fresh in person, I would get a better feel & more fair opinion of their food. I ordered just a spicy chicken sandwich with fries + drink. I didn't find it to be that spicy to be honest but I will note that I eat spicy food pretty often. I would've also liked it more if it was more flavorful; felt it was bland every time I've gotten it. Nothing to really write home about when it comes to Dave's Hot Chicken + disappointed... overhyped. Not bad though just expected more. I tried it two more times after this experience and my thoughts have remained unchanged. read more

Would've gone 3 1/2 stars if available. First time trying - and really didn't live up to the hype for me. Thought it was just okay. Customer service was fantastic however if it is your thing. read more

A terrific fast-casual fried chicken spot! I have heard a co-worker rave about this place, and one Sunday decided to venture out. While it may not be worth a frequent half-hour drive, they are doing their thing right. The menu is kept simple, and the focus is on expertly preparing chicken (well, and fries too). I ordered a single slider, "hot," and a side of fries. A slider is filled with a single tender. As such, it fills just about 75% of the sandwich. Reason enough to get a #3 next time! (#3 = one slider + one tender + a slice of bread) The chicken is hot (temp), fresh, crisp, and breaded perfectly! I always appreciate it when fried chicken isn't mostly breading! The meat was tender and cooked nicely. While not the most succulent chicken I'd had, it still retained ample moisture. The "Hot" loses a bit of heat in sandwich form, but a bit I tried on its own was perfect for my taste. All the more reason to get a #3 next time! While executed with care, I didn't find the chicken mind-blowing. As far as tenders go, it was great. However, as they use a tender, even inside of a slider, it loses some of the moisture a proper (and thicker) fried chicken sandwich would have. The veggies gave a lovely freshness and contrast, and the pickles were great! Finally, the bun seemed fresh and was toasted/griddled to a perfect golden brown! The fries were hot, fresh, crisp, and seasoned perfectly. This can be hard to accomplish with crinkle cut, but they have it down pat. When it came to their special sauce, while it was sweeter than I'd prefer, I found myself ignoring the ketchup and dipping my fries into it instead. The staff here were not just professional but kind and welcoming. I may be primarily coming here to eat, but excellent service is still appreciated. I found the music rather loud. If there were many people, and it should have been audible, no problem. If this were a bar, also, no problem. However, considering this is a fast-casual fried chicken shop, consider turning it a few notches down. Then again, maybe I was just hangry. By the time I devoured the food, I either didn't notice or didn't care. And there's something music volume preferences don't tie into cleanliness. I understand this isn't a sit-down restaurant where tables are wiped down between customers. Yet, I still hope for clean tables upon entering. I did mention this to the staff, who promptly wiped all the tables. The chemical they use did leave the table a bit sticky, but at least I knew it was sanitized. I can safely say my co-worker did not steer me wrong. While Dave's did not land in my hall of fame, it was a great way to satiate a fried chicken craving. read more

Solid chicken sandwich a bit outside of Boston in Newton! One mix up people may have is to mistake a slider for a small chicken sandwich but it is a decent size for 1 person! We got their slider, some fries, and a strawberry milkshake. To my surprise, since I am not a huge sandwich fan, I was pleasantly surprised by how filling and yummy everything was! And the strawberry milkshake had a pretty good consistency and taste too. The only thing was that the chicken sandwich tasted more spicy rather than flavorful the higher the spice level (but I've tried other spots where you can taste both the flavor and the spice and so it is doable!) Regardless, it's a pretty solid chicken sandwich and shop! What we ordered: - Sliders - Side of Fries - Strawberry Milkshake + my friend's fountain drink read more

Pros: -Crispy chicken -Good amount of food $16.69 via Grubhub Very happy with this combo (1 tender, 1 slider, fries)! Maybe not my top fried chicken, but I'd definitely come back.

Also ordered a side of Mac and cheese which was extremely creamy, but the cup was barely filled half way.

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries and a side of Mac and cheese - Chicken Shop Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Exactly what I needed, and what this neighborhood needs. No frills: fried, Nashville style hot chicken. No, I won't be coming here every week and it won't be part of my diet staple, but guess what: if it comes down to driving a couple miles or going to Nashville, thank you Dave! My order was prepared promptly and ready for me when I dropped by. The chicken was prepared well and juicy. The sauce is similar to what you'd find at Raising Cane's. Creamy, caloric, unhealthy tangy mayo. I subbed out fries for cole slaw to be healthy (get out of here) and that was tasty too. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Coming in HOT! Dave's Hot Chicken has been a monthly recurrence for me. It just checks all the boxes when it comes to Nashville style hot chicken... trust me on this! I onlllyy get the sliders here (combo #2) and I always get my order "hot" level. Any higher than that and I honestly just lose sense of taste and can only feel a burning sensation lol (and I have a pretty good tolerance for spicy food)! For the reaper level you'll need to sign a waiver for that- it's no JOKE! Be warned! Their fries are crinkle cut like Shake Shack fries but better! It's way more flavorful and with their Dave's sauce it's addicting af! The vibe in here is casual and the food comes out quick. A lot of high schoolers frequent this location so it's busy and can get rowdy (but honestly I don't mind at all). It's clean and there are tons of tables to sit down. I've only ever eaten here so I can't attest to how good their chicken is to-go. It was Drake's birthday back in October and we were here, regretfully, waiting almost 1.5hrs for a free slider. Would not do that again but on the plus side I finally downloaded the app (to redeem Drakes bday free slider gift) and to finally start collecting points on each visit. I don't usually download apps for restaurants unless I know I'm going to be a regular. Def recommend checking Dave's out! read more

Had one of the best chicken sandwiches from here! This spot is a small but roomy fast food restaurant that has an adequate amount of seating. Theres only four combos on their menu so it wasn't hard to choose what I wanted (only sandwiches and tenders). However, there are multiple spice levels you can choose for your chicken, from no spice to reaper (which according to my brother, a hot sauce lover, is pretty good) I got mild, which wasn't spicy at all but had a great amount of flavor. Both the chicken and fries were very crispy. Although the wait for our sandwiches was long, they were so tasty and I'd definitely come back. read more

Recently filled our chicken craving at Dave's, which has a range of heat levels to choose from! My partner and I ordered the reaper chicken tenders and extra hot chicken sliders, both of which came w fries - TASTE: 4/5 - we love spiciness and we weren't sure how hot this would actually be, but Dave's isn't kidding w the reaper heat! Definitely tingles and I needed to use the Dave's sauce generously to help me get through my chicken tenders. The kale slaw in the extra hot chicken sliders provided a great balance of spice and taste too TEXTURE: 4/5 - the chicken and fries were crispy, and the pickles had a good bite PRICE: 4/5 - pricing was solid SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - portions were decent too SERVICE: 4/5 - we got in right before the lunch rush on a Sunday afternoon and waited around 10min for our food ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - the murals inside are awesome and Dave's has outdoor seating options too PARKING: 4/5 - plenty of free parking within the Newton Nexus plaza read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - Dave's #4 1 Slider with Fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Dave's Hot Chicken... my question dear Dave, Arman, Tommy, and Gary, is... was it your intention to fill my $3.49 8 ounce paper bowl only about halfway with your decently tasting, sufficiently creamy, side order of mac & cheese? Cause, if it was, you've succeeded. However, according to the one in the blue box, 1 cup prepared = 350 calories. Your menu board states that your side rings up at 290 calories. So the bowl ought to have been over 80% full at that rate to rack up that calorie count. But taking math out of the equation, a small cup with a lot of air space hints at a job half done and a certain lack of generosity, especially in comparison to how overfloweth stands the picture of the sample cup on your online menu. I'd have given you the chance to make things right in real time if I had dined in, but I didn't, as my order was placed enroute and picked up to go. If, however, you want to make things right, please start filling your side cups sufficiently for your customers going forward, as each order placed, is indeed a chance to make things right. For this customer and her family, we have tried two flavors of your chicken - no spice and lite mild... and no spice is a better match for our taste buds. We find your chicken thick cut and tender, and pleasantly under-processed. It was juicy enough though the meat is white meat. One of your sliders with the soft potato roll well filled makes for a decent me-sized lunch with the side of fries, though the fries themselves have been unfortunately soft each time we have ordered thus far. Service has ranged in our experience. One visit, our order was delayed, and so the packer asked for it to be expedited. In so doing, the extras were missed (aka no ketchup, honey, utensils... though we did get napkins). We received plenty of ketchup and honey along with the utensils and napkins another time, which more than made up for that previous time. By the way, what's the proper way to handle a pick up here? There are no signs, so I've been stepping to the left after making sure the folks ahead of me were waiting to order, and then made attempts to catch the attention of that bagger fella. That worked once. However, on my most recent visit, he was busy chatting with a coworker inside the kitchen when there were no prepared orders awaiting his attention, and he didn't hear me. Fortunately, when the staffer manning the register finished taking orders, he checked in with me and found our orders bagged, one on the shelf and the other by the window. 4 stars for the sliders 3 stars averaged for service 2 stars for the mac and cheese I'll be happy to update to 4 stars if things look up my next visit. read more

Pretty impressed with Dave's Hot chicken... It's not without it's cons but certainly would go back. First, the staff was so friendly. They seemed to be having fun without it impacting the flow of customers and their job. That's the perfect scenario. They were really nice and cool, and still cranking out orders so quickly. There aren't many menu options at Dave's. You get a choice between 3 combo meals. And they're pretty much variations of the same thing. No matter what, it's 2 meaty tenders. Either it's on a dull slice of white bread or a nice pillowy potato roll with pickles and slaw. The choice is clear. Get the #2 combo ALWAYS. 2 chicken sliders sandwiches. You can pick your heat level. I think there's like 7 or 8, so hopefully you find the one that's right for you There are some extra sides like Mac and cheese that I didn't try. The combos seem expensive at $15 per pop without drink. But I will say I was full after downing a side of fries and 2 slider sandwiches. The sliders are like full sized chicken sandwiches. I would wager that their meaty tender is more chicken than the thin patty at Wendy's or McDonald's. Dave's Hot chicken is definitely worth going to. I feel like it's drawing a big crowd there, just like Raising Canes on BU campus. So happy to have a chicken joint in the local Newton area. read more

Worth a try! We got two #3s, one medium and one mild. I didn't really think medium was spicy at all so I might level up next time. The chicken is on the darker crispy side which isn't my preference but it was still tender. If you want the best value, I highly recommend getting #2 instead with the two sliders. I think their sauce has a bit too much mayo and needs some acidity to balance. Their fries however were phenomenal and seasoned well. Also bonus points for their tasty pickles! We also got a Mac and cheese for fun - it was only ok. It definitely tasted better before the meal but after eating the chicken, the Mac became flavorless. Their line is always long but it does move fast. Waiting however took roughly 25 minutes - not something I mind if it is good food but worth nothing if you don't have a lot of time. I would definitely come here again but I don't think I'd specifically choose it over other places like Underdog in Allston. read more

Solid option for some nash hot chicken in MA. During the first weekend of opening, we paid a visit to Newton and stopped in to get the chicken goodness. Lines were long but it moved fairly quick--they had all registers open and some folks on iPads also checking people in with their orders. The chicken was moist and they have a wide variety of spice levels. I went all in on the reaper and it had good heat and great flavor to it. Might not be for the faint of heart of course. Fries I thought were average. Pickles that come with it I thought the same. What's a bit confusing is when you order a combo, each item you can choose diff level of spice. Overall, level of service was great on the high amount of crowds and food was solid. Get your spice on folks. read more

I wanted to try this place for so long now since I saw it on Instagram. Finally took the time out to make the drive and go. It was well worth it! The menu is pretty basic and simple. There's three combos to choose from. I got the combo 3 which comes with a sandwich, tender, and fries. I opted to get the hot only because I actually wanted to enjoy the sandwich. The next level up and is extra hot and THE REAPER. Next time I go, I will definitely try the Reaper. (They make you sign a waiver lol). Their Dave's sauce is so damn good. It makes the sandwich 10x better. The chicken itself was also good. Not dry,it was moist and so juicy. Their slaw is definitely great too. Overall I loved their sandwich. Tip - not sure if it was a bad day or not, but my Mac and cheese was HORRIBLE. I didn't want to complain but maybe I should've. It was such a waste of $5. Legit probably only 6-7 noodles. Wasn't even filled to the top. It was watery and plain. This definitely would've been an amazing experience but the mac and cheese ruined it for me lol left a sour taste leaving haha read more

For a place that just opened up, Dave's really has their sh*t together. The line was out the door but it moved very quickly with the staff being knowledgeable and having two registers open. The food also came out very fast, I think my two combos took about 10 mins. The chicken itself was amazing, super flavorful, "hot" was pretty spicy as well. The white bread, chicken, Dave's sauce, and honey make for the perfect bite. The only con is probably that it's on the pricier side but overall fantastic and would definitely come back. read more

Dave's Hot Chicken - #1 Hot - Chicken Shop Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

I love that the menu here is really simple! You basically choose from three options - sliders, tenders, or a combo. I ordered a combo - extra hot slider and reaper tender because I was skeptical about whether the reaper would actually be too spicy to handle. I do enjoy spicy food (for reference, I enjoy buldak hot chicken ramen...) so I decided to give it a shot. The extra hot chicken slider was delicious! Perfect spicy but not burning hot for me. The reaper on the other hand... it was quite spicy after a couple bites. As you can see from the photo, the tender is doused with the reaper spice powder. I ended up only eating a few bites because my mouth was on fire! Downed a few cups of ice water to cool down. Oh also, I swapped out my fries for Mac and cheese - best decision! I highly recommend it! read more

This just opened in Newton! The line was out the door but surprisingly it moved fairly quick. 30-45 minute wait I would say. The place smaller than I thought tbh. Went up and ordered (2) #3 where we get fries, chicken tender, and a chicken sandwich. One medium and hot. It's nice that you're able to swap fries for another side for no extra price so we did mac n cheese Medium plate: not spicy at level, very mild if even. Personally would've preferred a little more heat on the sand which. I really liked their cold slaw. Their fries were really good too. Hot plate: my bf said the spice level on the sandwich was good, little bit of heat. He also like the cold slaw. Both of us weren't a fan of the hot level chicken tender. It was just too powdery of a spice that it was not good. For this meal, we subbed in Mac n cheese and I wouldn't recommend. Taste like watery box mac n cheese. In addition, their speciality sauce was pretty meh. A lot of Mayo flavor so nothing special. read more

The sauce also helped with easing the spiciness. For $30 for two, it was a decent meal and very filling. I cannot decide between 3 or 4 stars because the food was definitely good. It was just a little bit more than one meal but not enough to save as a leftover for the next meal. If I were to return, I'd definitely stick with the sliders. I prefer that over the tenders.
