Good place for chicken lovers. Potions are huge for one meal. Chicken is tender and juicy. Taste is superb. Spicy level is adjustable as per needs.

First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken, and I was immediately impressed with the friendly, helpful customer service/cashier who instinctively recognized I was a first-timer as I perused the menu. Dave's is a lot like Raising Cane's, but with the ability to customize the spice level of the chicken. I opted for Dave's #3 ($13.99) so I could try both a slider and a solo tender. The pieces of chicken were very good. They had a nice exterior crisp covered in a flavorful heat, with a juicy, tender, pull apart inside. While I preferred the sandwich, it definitely could have used more slaw. As far as portions...for me, two sliders is likely too much, but I think I'd be unsatisfied with one, so the #3 was a good option. Similar to Cane's, the fries are crinkle cut. I prefer the dusting of seasoning on the Dave's fries, as I find Cane's to be overly salty. I do wish they had more options for sides...for instance, a nice refreshing cucumber salad, potato salad, cold bean salad, etc. would be great with that chicken. I happily dipped my extra tender and fries in the Dave's side sauce...no need for ketchup, though they do offer it. Interestingly, a new Raising Cane's is scheduled to open right around the corner from Dave's...bring on the chicken wars...I'm rooting for you Dave!

Delicious! This is a hot chicken place, but don't let that mislead you - the star of the show is the delicious fried chicken, and the level of heat can be controlled to your taste. The medium level is pretty low spice, so don't be shy to go hotter. Note that the tenders here are huge (basically the size of a regular chicken breast), so the meal with two tenders is perfectly filling. In terms of service and ambiance, this place is basically like a fast food restaurant - simple, clean, friendly, but unassuming.

This is the best hot crispy chicken chain! I've been to the one in Newton and now the one in Natick, both places are consistently good! The decor is similar between the locations. The staff are friendly and helpful (they were telling another customer to drench your chicken with honey packs). The only thing about the Natick location is that its slow service. For the food, its so fresh and delicious! You can order different spice levels for each chicken or tender you order. My order had 2 chicken sandwiches of differing heat levels and it was impossible to figure it out without tasting each one. I saw that they had spice level stickers but none of that was found to help us. I can take spicy food but the HOT level chicken here is definitely HOT. It makes you sweat and your tongue a little numb. Add to the temperature of the chicken and it will make you feel like a volcano has erupted in your mouth! I thoroughly expected this and enjoyed it though. The crinkle fries are really good, as they are served fresh. There is a fountain machine so if you get a soda, you can get refills. 90% of the dining hall was comfortable and inviting. There are a couple of tables on the OTHER side of the front desk and its really dimly lit. There were some kids sitting there and I definitely would not have wanted my family to sit there. They should make it brighter over there...you can't see anything. I can't wait to go back and eat this again!

I've never been to a Dave's Hot Chicken before so I got a combo that included a tender and a slider. The temperature I selected was medium which was extremely mild and I'm pretty delicate when it comes to seasoning lol. Next time I'll step it up heat wise. I preferred the slider because it had a great tasting sauce on it and you could add pickles. I just enjoyed that mix of flavors. It was a very casual fast food experience, not a restaurant dine in experience and it looked like 90% of everything was takeout FYI. If that's what you're looking for then I absolutely recommend. Great pickup for football watching at home!

It almost seems like Dave's is popping in every corner of MA now. But I can't complain because they're pretty good. This location is located in Framingham nearby Tennessee bbq place is. Ive had much better Nashville hot chicken before but Dave suffices for being local. They serve really simple Nashville style chicken tendies or sliders. Pics do not show justice--they are fairly large tendies. Every time I've ordered here I always order 3 tendie meal and always regret getting the third lol. The slider is not really a slider... it's about a size of a quarter pounder at McDonald's...seriously. Don't get the hottest level of spice--it's spicy. Appreciate the flavor and get medium or hot. Also check in on Yelp and get a free soft drink or milkshake according to the side shown in store.

If you like chicken sandwiches & spice, Dave's is a must try spot!! Checked out the new location in Framingham on opening night. The staff did seem slightly overwhelmed at the grand opening numbers, but they did a great job weathering the storm. They had food coming out fast & fresh. And they had plenty of workers checking on everyone and ensuring them the long lines would go fast (which they ultimately did). I went with 2 sliders - 1 "Hot" & 1 "Extra Hot". I've gotten "Reaper" a few times at other locations. IMO Reaper is just too hot to fully enjoy, so I stepped down since I was starving and wanted to enjoy my dinner - fresh & delicious... and that Dave's Sauce. So good!! It is a little bit smaller inside than I anticipated... but overall once the grand opening waves die down, I'm sure it will feel a bit more open. I'm glad there's now a Dave's Hot Chicken closer to me... I'll be making this a regular visit!!

The food is good and service is really good and Isaac my server was the best ! And store ambiance is awesome.

Sometimes I waver on the .5's Yelp doesn't offer. Not up in here! Rock solid 4. Upon entry the vibe is super chill, yet still has a precise attention to detail. Example: some tool videoing his experience near us used his drink to prop his phone. The drink collapsed bc it's not a phone holder...clearly. He left and the mess remained. Within 2 minutes tops an employee was cleaning up the disaster left behind. I digress. The menu is simple and clearly explained for ordering chicken to your delight. I opted for the medium heat on a number 3 (one tender one slider). Chicken is VERY clearly the star of every dish. However, the fries are not overlooked!! So perfectly cooked and seasoned. Mwuh chefs kiss aha the service was quick as well. Overall, a total pleasure. Highest recommendation. Bon appetite!

Walking in here... it feels like you're stepping onto the set of that movie, Idiocracy. Zero organization. Graffiti type of art all over the walls... BLASTING insanely loud oldies music. Who thought of this concept? And why? What is this place supposed to be? What's the theme they're goin for here? I got two sliders: one hot, one medium. I couldn't tell the difference. Both were extremely underwhelming and thrown together. The sliders don't even make sense. One massively thick and long chicken tender smooshed into a bun. It's like putting a banana between two ritz crackers. The takeout container it came in had greasy fingerprints all over the outside of it. Every trash can was overflowing. Open wet floor signs in the middle of the floor that every third person trips on... set on a clearly dry floor. This place is sheer chaos. I'd skip it. UPDATE: Wow! So the Customer Service team reached out (as you can see here) and asked that I follow up with them. But then just try and find the Framingham location via that link. Nope. The location has been open for 3 months but does not appear on their "Contact Us" site. What a joke!

Had to see what all the hype was about. 16 minutes for one sandwich with no drink is a lot, particularly at 2 PM on a weekday. The signage is good, and the music is cool. I found the chicken to be as advertised, medium was damn spicy. The cheese and the sauce are good, the fries were excellent. Didn't think I would like the pickles, but they fit. Feel sad for people who eat this more than once a month, but I understand there is a place for this in this crazy world. May return to try the shake.
