“Very yummy 😋 I ‘m coming back !!!“

“We have never been and it was one of the best meals we have had! The chicken was so flavorful and wasn’t dry at all. The sandwiches were delicious and portion sizes are not for the faint of heart. We had leftovers for 2 meals! The staff was kind and patient with us as we had a few extra questions since we had never been before. There were lots of people enjoying their meals and it was very clear that this was a local favorite. We will definitely be back!“

“Dave's Hot Chicken is a fantastic spot for juicy, flavorful chicken. The ability to customize the heat level is a great touch. Their Dave's Sauce is a perfect complement, especially when dipped with fries or chicken. The Boston-inspired graffiti decor adds a cool, unique vibe to the restaurant. While the food is delicious, it's on the pricier side.“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken – Boston Visit (May 2025)

I recently had the pleasure of trying Dave’s Hot Chicken in Boston, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations!

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. A special mention to the lady who took our order, an absolute gem of a person, who set the perfect tone for what turned out to be a fantastic meal.

The chicken? Absolutely awesome. Juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. We sampled the full spice range—extra hot, hot, medium, and mild, and each one delivered. The extra hot was just right for me, with a bold kick that didn’t overwhelm. The spice blend was spot-on, adding a delicious complexity to every bite.

I had tried Dave’s once before in Dubai and wasn’t particularly impressed. But this Boston experience? A complete game-changer—and totally worth the extra heat.“
