Dave's Hot Chicken

The service from the cashier Josh was incredible. He greeted every guest with kindness, patience, and clear communication. I watched him handle pickups, discounts, and even a last-minute order change with total professionalism. For a fast-casual spot, the level of training and hospitality here is always impressive. Great staff and great experience every visit.

The food was also on point!!

Came here as I was passing by on a roadtrip. Got my typical two sliders with fries and in typical Dave's Fashion, it was delicious. What I appreciate is that despite the sandwiches itself being sliders and thus a little on the smaller side, the chicken itself is huge compared to the bread and filled with flavor/seasoning. I got both sandwiches hot but you can actually mix and match different spice levels which I think is a really cool option. Only thing is that I ordered a chocolate milkshake with oreos and they gave me a vanilla with Oreos but I didn't care enough to confront them about it as the milkshake was still great. We were lucky to get a parking spot but I imagine that parking can be a little annoying at this spot with the spaces constantly being filled up. On the bright side, the bathroom was pretty clean.

If you love spicy, crispy, flavorful chicken, this is your place. The chicken has a perfectly crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat inside, served with their signature Dave's sauce. They offer seven heat levels, from "No Spice" all the way up to "Reaper," so there's a level for everyone!
I highly recommend the Sliders or the Tenders alongside their crinkle-cut fries. And don't forget the shakes—they are SO good and absolutely electric ⚡! Just be sure to watch out for the sugar. The staff is warm and attentive, and the value is fantastic. A definite must-try in Newton Nexus!

Went to Dave’s Hot Chicken recently, and overall, it was a mixed experience. The staff at the front were hustling, clearly under a lot of pressure, but they still managed to get the food out quickly, so props to them. It did seem like they could’ve used a bit more help though. Dining in wasn’t great—couldn’t find a clean table. As for the food, it was delicious but definitely on the pricey side for what you get (chicken, bread, and fries—pretty typical nowadays). If I went again, I’d definitely go for a spicier option because the “hot” wasn’t hot/spicy.

DO NOT ORDER ONLINE FROM THIS PLACE. I placed online order but ended up receiving someone else's order. I tried calling them but they never pick up the phone. I had to drive back again to get the correct order and there was no apology from the staff. This is the second time it happened in 2 years.
