The girl upfront taking orders this afternoon was AMAZING. She listened so carefully and explained everything so clearly. Super sweet, gorgeous, and even hyped me up telling me how beautiful I was, love her energy! 🥰 10/10 experience. The food always hits, but it tastes even better when the staff is just as good ! 💕

We visited Dave’s Hot Chicken and had a fantastic experience! The restaurant was very clean and had a fun, open vibe with lots of graffiti-style designs and creative wall art. The space feels lively and welcoming. The staff was super friendly, patient, and very helpful, especially when we had questions about vegetarian options—even though there aren’t many yet, they guided us kindly and clearly. We ordered Dave’s #2 and #3 combos, along with the cheese fries, and everything came out hot, fresh, and really tasty. One small suggestion: it would be great if they offered a few more vegetarian options. I understand it’s “Dave’s Hot Chicken,” but adding a couple more choices could make it appealing to a wider range of people. Bonus: The location is conveniently close to major highways, making

Dave's Hot Saugus is the BEST - something about their chicken...it's a tiny bit more moist and tender than other Dave's Hots. Can't explain why, but this is the best. The crew is fun too!

I stopped by Dave’s Hot Chicken - Saugus and had a great experience thanks to Dave and Annie at the register. They were friendly, patient, and made the ordering process smooth. He helped me choose the right spice level and made sure my order was perfect. The food was fresh and excellent, but Dave’s customer service really made the visit stand out.
