    Dave's #3 1 Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries
    Arthur S.

    Finally found fried chicken that saves me a trip to Nashville. I ordered the HOT and my son ordered the medium. The spice was perfect for me, but my son could only handle the medium. I ordered a sandwich and a chicken tender and wish that I got two sliders, it was so good! The chicken is super tender and juicy, it comes with a sauce and slaw that is fantastic and the pickles cool down the heat balancing everything out. My son ordered the mini sliders and he got jealous when he saw my regular sandwich. The slider is a full size sandwich and the mini's are bite size.

    I stopped by during lunch and while they had a promotion, so the line was out of the door. This was my first time trying Dave's and dare I say, it was one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! I love the juiciness of chic-fil-a and this sandwich was even better, and came with 3 pickles! I got it extra hot and added honey to each bite! 10/10! If the line wasn't out the door, and I didn't have to sign a waiver, I would have tried the reaper. I'll definitely be having Dave's again!

    This Dave's Hot Chicken location near Fenway definitely lives up to the chain's reputation for serious Nashville-style heat. Being in such a busy area means it can get really crowded, and parking around Fenway is famously tough, so planning for takeout or delivery through their app might save you some hassle. The core of the meal is the crispy chicken tenders or sliders with that signature spicy rub. It starts mild at the lower levels but has a significant ramp. Starting at "Medium" is where you really begin to feel the tingling burn, and it jumps dramatically from there to the "Extra Hot" and "Reaper" levels. The Dave's Sauce is the perfect creamy, cooling companion to cut through that heat The chicken can sometimes be on the drier side, though the generous sauce helps. The crinkle-cut fries are a solid side, and their thick milkshakes are a popular choice for putting out the fire if you overestimate your spice tolerance. It's a solid, no-frills spot for a crave-worthy spicy chicken fix. Just know your spice level, expect a crowd (especially around game time), and have a plan for parking.

    Tried out the newest food spot in Fenway -- Dave's Hot Chicken! Just a short walk from Fenway Park, it's a great, casual spot for a quick bite. The restaurant seemed clean, with an employee cleaning the dining area. The bathroom was also clean and requires a code to access. Ordering was quick and easy! I got the #3, which comes with a slider and a tender. Since it was my first time, I tried the slider in medium and the tender in hot (you can definitely taste the heat after a few bites). Both were very juicy and crispy. It comes with fries coated in a yummy seasoning, which have a great crunch! It's a dry rub, so the chicken itself isn't quite my usual style (I prefer sauce). So, although the food wasn't my favorite (due to personal preference), I still think it's a great fast-food spot!

The service was nice and she didn't look at me like a weirdo when I ordered my kid's meal (I am only greedy in moderation....lol). The chicken tastes like nothing and its fried. The sauce tastes like what, why and how much sodium is in this shyt! The fries were pretty salty too, so dipping the fries in the sauce was an absolute NO for me.

This popular…read morechain has built a cult following around a very focused menu: perfectly crispy chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw, buttery Texas toast, and their legendary Cane's sauce. The box combos are where the value really shines. You get a great deal on a satisfying meal where everything works together. The chicken is always reliably good, and that signature sauce, a creamy, tangy, slightly peppery blend is what ties it all together. It's delicious for dipping not just the chicken, but also the fries and that excellent, soft Texas toast. The fries themselves hit that sweet spot of being crispy without being greasy. A word to the wise: the lines can get seriously long, as it's a hugely popular spot. The absolute best move is to order ahead through their app to skip the wait, which makes grabbing a quick and easy meal a total breeze. Overall, it's a consistently good, decently-priced meal for when a fried chicken craving strikes. Just a heads-up that all that fried goodness, while tasty, can sometimes feel a bit heavy on the stomach, but for most it's a small price to pay for that specific comfort food fix.

    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 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!

This is how fast food needs to be done. Some chains, like Shake Shack and Chipotle, barely notice I'm in the store. Cane's does customer service right. Love the fries so much.

It's easy to see why it's become such a popular chain across the country.

Oddly, some of the best sandwiches we had in Italy came from a gas station travel plaza on the way from Rome to Florence. We haven't found a similar sandwich in the US ... until here. The meats are sliced fresh and all the sandwiches are made by hand. You have a lot of choices ... and the menu is odd. It stretches from one end of the ordering counter to the other ... it's so long that it's difficult to read the choices at the beginning of the sign. We got the Paradiso, which is made with Mortadella (imagine a thin-sliced bologna) with pistachio cream. Thoughts on the sandwich: Size: - This is one of those places which gives you too much sandwich. I'd come back more often if the sandwiches were $10 - $12 for a single portion. Honestly, the sandwiches here could probably feed two people ... which is fine because it allowed us to split it. However, if I am getting lunch for myself, I don't want to pay double and take a half home. Ingredients: - The best part of the sandwich was the foccacia bread. It was crisp but light ... had a little bit of oil on it and it was dense enough to fill you up. Slightly salty. - The mortadella was high quality ... but at the end of the day, $20 for a bologna sandwich is tough. Also, I was a little surprised at how thin of a layer they put on for the price. - Pistachio/Cream ... Very sweet, I felt like I would have liked a little more savory to balance it out. The sandwich was very pistachio forward and that was the predominant taste. I'd have liked the mortadella to stand out more. Overall, you won't find a sandwich as similar to what you'd get in Italy anywhere else. This place is a bit over hyped in my opinion but the sandwiches are pretty authentic to what you'd find in Italy. Unique combinations and high quality ingredients but the prices are just so fucking sky high here. - The bread is the best part

    Incredible - just about identical to what I had at the Florence location. It might be sad, but my…read moreday trip from Providence RI to Boston was centered around getting a sandwich here. I got the La Paradiso which has Mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio cream and pistachio ($19). The focaccia bread is out of this world, and I absolutely love the combination of creamy stracciatella with pistachio cream and mortadella. Their sandwiches are massive, and while I am able to finish one no problem, the average appetite would have two meals out of one sandwich. La Paradiso was the same sandwich I got in Italy so I gotta mix it up next time. The service is quick and friendly.
