Over the weekend, I stopped in at the new Dave's Hot Chicken on Boylston Street near Fenway Park, which is located next to Halal Guys. From time to time, I will enjoy some Dave's Hot Chicken for late night eats and I usually go to the Manchester NH and Woburn locations.
After a concert nearby, a lot of attendees headed over to Dave's Hot Chicken. The place got so busy that online ordering & app ordering was shut off at this particular Boston location, but the other area locations including Stuart Street had online ordering still enabled.
There was about a 5 minute wait at the counter to place my order since the staff was working hard to get numerous placed orders completed and served. I ordered my favorite #2 Combo, 2 Sliders (Mild spiciness this time) & a side of Mac & Cheese ($14.99 plus tax). They call your number when your order is ready. It took 8 minutes after ordering for my order to be packed and ready to go and I was offered and given extra Dave's sauces for the chicken too.
The cozy space is smaller than a typical standalone Dave's and has several tables inside to enjoy your food, drinks, and shakes and a self serve Coke fountain drink station & Gold Peak ice tea. There are also a few red tables and seats outside in front of the business.
The sliders had very crisp thick chicken tenders, slaw, pickles & orange sauce on soft buns were very good. The chicken tenders were crispy outside which had a sweet flavor, and minimal spicy taste! Dill pickle chips and tangy orange dipping Dave's sauce was included with the box of food. The Mac & Cheese had soft macaroni and orange cheese sauce, which I actually cut up some of the huge tenders and mix with the mac & cheese.
This place still lives up to the hype IMO and more locations are opening up around the country.
