First time trying here. Staff were friendly.and courteous. Took the order quickly, a small buffalo chicken, Mac and cheese.
Took somewhere between 5-10 minutes to be made. There was nothing wrong with the flavor of the food, but I didn’t like the texture of the chicken itself, kind of gritty texture, not pleasant. Was good value, $7.50 including taxes.

We were looking for a bite after Thunder Over New Hampshire, and decided to try this place it. Prices seemed a little high, $12-$15 for the combo, but it does NOT come with a drink. Ended up being $22, for only tenders and fries. However, they are BIG tenders, so the price seemed more reasonable. Then I bit into it, and wow! These are delicious! I went for mild, but there was still tons a flavor. Cheese fries were good. The sauce is really tasty. Pickles were nice and crunchy. I appreciated how nice and tidy the food was arranged in the container as well.
Overall, I felt it was worth the price. Only nitpick air the experience was that the floors were kinda dirty, but it was also really busy. I’d definitely go to to one of these restaurants again.

Dave’s Hot Chicken in Portsmouth, NH, is an absolute gem. The chicken here is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Each bite offers a delightful contrast—juicy on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside. The flavor is out of this world, and the special sauce adds an extra layer of deliciousness. The fries complement the chicken wonderfully, making for a satisfying meal. Though the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality and taste make it worth every penny. Be prepared for a long wait time, but trust me, it’s worth it. The cool atmosphere adds to the overall great experience. Highly recommend! Staff was very friendly also!

No seating, the mac n cheese is justclike KFC, the chicken was moist but sprinkled with something powdery. Very busy place expect to wait. And bring sanitizer!!!!

First time at Dave’s and it was a great all around experience. Met cashier Jay and she was so helpful to a couple out of the ordinary requests for the kids. She made sure that they got everything the needed to make sure they liked their food. She was so gracious and let my daughter try before we bought and she went out of her way during busy time to do this. Thank you so much Jay!

First time to Dave’s Hot Chicken in Portsmouth NH. I drove up from Atlanta and saw the colorful building and gave it a shot. I had my doctor’s bts that they could do a decent hot chicken above the mason Dixon line but I was pleasantly surprised! I got the Reaper slider and expected it to be “white people hot” but it was genuinely spicy, to the point where I had to take a break halfway through to have “breather”. Beyond the food, the service was excellent as well. Ben took my order and was very attentive and helpful, answering all my questions. When I informed him of the issue with the cherry coke, he *immediately* addressed the issue and checked in on me to make sure everything was ok with my food. A++ service. If I could lodge any complaint it would be with the temperature inside the dining room, it was a bit on the warm side for me. It was probably hovering in the 75-76° range.

Literally, one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever eaten. The service was out of this world too. Atmosphere is amazing. If you love chicken and have not tried this place yet, you’re totally missing out. As of 10/24/24 I will give Daves Hot Chicken the trophy Best chicken sandwich I ever had to date. Kudos to you and especially your staff!

Logan took my order – super pleasant & helpful. 1st time I’ve been at a Dave’s. It was good. I liked the slider better than the tender (even though they were the same, the tender on its own was a bit much. The slider was perfect! The sauce is great for fries too.
