    All of my wings had feathers
    Dexter R.

    This was one of the worst experiences I've had in a long time. So bad that I have to write a review. I placed an online order and arrived during the pick up time. The woman working said 10 more minutes, almost 20 minutes later my food was finally finished. Got home only to find that all of my chicken wings still had feathers on it. I've eaten wings with feathers before, one here two there but not my entire damn order. I ordered lemon pepper and spicy wings and what I got was all plain. At least she got the dipping sauces right. On top of that I also found HAIR on my fries. Maybe if the woman wasn't on FACETIME the entire time she was making my order this wouldn't have happened. But I doubt it, this level of unprofessionalism happens daily. Also didn't see her wash her hands every time she repositioned her oily phone so they can see her on face time.

    6 piece wing basket. My fave!

    This was my first time walking in a couple of days ago. I'm so blessed that my wife usually picks up their chicken for me. I decided to bless a brother with this wonderful lunch. It was fantastic as always. The service was very friendly and fast. It has the requisite plastic screen to keep customers' cooties to themselves. No marks on the floor, but the customers were smart enough to keep social distancing. The parking is usually pretty good. Otherwise, you can swing around the corner and park on Washington Street with no problems. Very clean. If you're in West Roxbury, make sure to stop by.

    Lemon and pepper wing dinner with mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese..

    The owner is friendly and omg the lemon and pepper fried chicken is delicious.. Bird nest is onion rings, fries and sweet potato fries in a form of a bird nest .. The corn bread is a hit. I never share the corn bread lol Can't wait to go back and try other things in the menu

    I ordered the spicy chicken tenders with fries and lemon pepper wings with garlic sauce and it was awesome. Flavor was definitely there and chicken was not over cooked - still crispy on the outside and juicy in the inside. One star off was because like some of the reviews said I noticed there were these little hairs on some of my wings from the chicken which I thought should have been removed better before frying..

    Outstanding sandwich of chicken and medium hot. The sides are also great. Fresh and abundant…read more Service was great and would rate cleanliness high.

    Stopped by here yesterday, and honestly, I should've kept driving…read more Before I get into the negatives, I do want to shout out Kimani and Lisa , they were amazing, friendly, and super helpful. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. The restaurant itself looks clean, has plenty of space to dine in, and parking is easy, no complaints there. Now, the food... I should've known something was off when I had to drive with the windows down because of the smell. It was an overwhelming mix of vinegar and hot sauce. My boyfriend ordered sliders with cheese fries. The tenders were completely overloaded with seasoning -- to the point where it was excessive and unpleasant. He chose the "mild" spice level, and there was no heat at all. I ordered the chicken sandwich (medium) with cheese fries. The sandwich itself had potential, but the single tender packed with heavy, overpowering seasoning ruined it. It honestly ended up being some of the worst chicken I've ever had. I also ordered a reaper tender (which requires signing a waiver), and I regret it. Yes, it's hot, but beyond that, it's just not good. It tastes like the chicken was rolled in every spice possible without any balance. I love spicy food and was excited to try it, but this was just unpleasant. The portions, especially the cheese fries, were small for the price. I spent about $50 for two meals, two drinks, and one extra tender, which didn't feel worth it at all. The slush drinks (similar to Minute Maid) were also disappointing -- they tasted sour, almost like the machine hadn't been properly cleaned. Overall, I'd rate this a 3/10, and those points are entirely for the customer service from Kimani and Lisa. If I could get a refund, I would.

    I recently tried Dave's Hot Chicken, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The chicken was crispy…read moreon 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.

    Went back to Dave's in Newton again...this time to target their new Mozzarella sticks! I love…read moreChili'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.

    I've wanted to try this place for a while and it was a great opportunity this week when I went into…read morethe office. This place is right in the Kendall Square area, an easy walk from all of the tech companies. 10 piece fried chicken - Chicken was decent sized and definitely not bulk ordered chicken. This was marinated and spiced in-house. It had good strong flavor, with a hint of ginger that stood out. I think it's ginger, at least. Enjoyable, not dry at all. I would get it again. Chicken cheese patties - they were dry and not that cheesy at all. This saddens me as the place prior to them opening served the best chicken cheese patties in the area. Chicharron - Kind of over cooked and dry. The skin is definitely crispy - almost to a fault as most were too hard to enjoyably bite into. The dryness was the worse. Plaintains were okay, tasted more like potatoes but I think thats how they are supposed to taste anyways. Service was good. Checkout was easy with tap-to-pay. The place looks clean and had 2 or 3 small tables inside.

    I discovered this place in February and it has been become my favorite spot for Dominican food…read more This beats traveling all the way to JP for a fix. I ordered many things off their menu from their stewed beef, stewed chicken, the empanadas, etc. The staff there are really nice and the space is always clean. Every time I am pleased with their food. Recently I tried their oxtail and my only critique is that they need to let them cook longer to get tender. Some pieces were a bit tough but there was one piece I had to throw away because it was extremely tough. Once they make the oxtail more tender? GAME OVER! Overall I love this place!
