    Daves Slider with fried and tender (Medium heat)
    Matthew E.

    We were in New Jersey visiting our son, so we stopped by Dave' s Hot Chicken. Neither one of us really eat " hot or spicy" food but decided to give the resturant a try. The cashier was very helpful explaining the different levels of heat that comes with each level. My wife ordered the basic and I ordered Medium heat. It took a while but the food arrived fresh and hot. We both enjoyed the meal.

    Yes, I loved it! Yes, you should try it! Okay, now that we have that out of the way: I had no idea what to expect when we went to Dave's Hot Chicken the other week (March 7, 2025). How exciting to try a new place! The menu is limited to - you guessed it: chicken! You can get a tender meal or a slider meal and they come with fries. Let's talk about the chicken "tender" for a minute. It isn't your classic frozen, processed, over-breaded, commercially produced tender. It's actual white-meat chicken, not of the "ground-up mystery meat" variety. This is very important: they are as big as a toddler's arm LOL! For real: I didn't think the tender + slider meal was going to be enough for me so I added an additional slider to my order. Narrator's Voice: In fact, that would have been plenty of food for him. I did not need that extra slider - the huge tender plus the slider and fries was enough. I was skeptical because the slider is also made with a chicken tender - but it didn't matter - it was still oh so good! White-meat chicken is traditionally easy to overcook and dry out. Well, Dave and his staff have it all figured out because the chicken we ate was succulent, moist (sorry ladies), and perfectly cooked. A word about the heat (spiciness): you can select how hot (spicy) you want your chicken, anything from plain to reaper. I chose hot. The young man behind the register politely double-checked with me, because, "Dave's "hot" is much hotter than most restaurant's idea of hot." No, I stuck to my guns and ordered it hot. Guess what? HOLY CRAP WAS IT HOT LOL! Not a deal-breaker, I enjoyed sweating while I ate it. And let me add: their hot is not all about spice and heat. There are a ton of great seasonings accompanying the heat. For sure, paprika. I don't know what the rest is, I just know I loved it! The interior of the restaurant was clean and well-lit. They have very interesting art work all over the walls. The service was fantastic. The gentleman who took our order came over to our table later on to see how everything was. For a fast-foody-type establishment, this was refreshing. So: life is short - just go try Dave's Hot Chicken at least once in your life!

    Popped in the drive thru and got thru pretty quickly. However, once we arrived at the window we were not acknowledged by staff for what seemed like an eternity. It was seriously about a 15 minute wait which I assume because the food was fresh. It would've just been nice if the person at the window had opened it to say something lol. 1st time there so not the best impression, but the food was pretty good, so that helps a LOT ! After pulling off realized we didn't have any napkins so had to go inside where we saw a sign that napkins/cutlery only available by request. So now I know for my next visit where I'll try another level of spicy.

    I have now tried Dave's, and Asads hot Chicken and now I can compare the two. I went there on the day of the grand opening, and I was there at 10:30. The whole crew there was helpful, attentive and accommodating. The one guy even tried talking me into getting the Ghost pepper, hard pass for me. Dave's, the chicken was very good. Spicy without being greasy, or too dry. The Dave's sauce added a cooling mouth feel and was delicious. The spices used here , I felt had more Cumin than Asads, and am not the biggest fan of Cumin so I was able to notice it more. The fries were a little less crispy than Asads, and you got less fries. They both were excellent. If I had both on an unbranded plate I felt that I would have trouble telling them apart. The fries were a little less seasoned at Dave's. Daves has an interior dining room, so for me, I prefer to sit down in the resturaunt then eat outside in my car. Overall, I loved both. I would recommend them both, but Daves has a place to sit.

    Honestly disgusted I was two bites in.. the wait was one thing that's no big deal.. 1st time trying it out definitely won't be going back.

    Food was good here. There chicken is really juicy . I don't recommend the reaper. Just not enjoyable with all that heat. But everything else was good. Bridgette was incredible, say hi to her while ypu are there. A MUST HAVE is the Lucky Charms milkshake. This milkshake was a straight Fire on another level. Try it you won't be disappointed.

    Basic chicken, got a slider and a tender and they were ok, too much breading on the outside, but the spice was decent for medium. The soda machine was broke and only had a few flavors, the hand dryer was also broken in the men's room, So it doesn't look like this place is off to a good start. The guy at the register was very helpful and friendly and the place looked clean besides the above mentioned.

    amazing

    Dave's hot chicken platter are really good. All thanks to one of the best and kindest worker Marie! Marie has gave be the best experience for my first time eating at dave's hot chicken!

    Slider with fries. Pickles came with the sandwich. They also give honey and ketchup as well.

    The fries are way to season and the sauce is basically raisin Cain sauce and it's just a little to much over all it's pretty okay.

Immediately greeted when walking in. I ordered one of the specials of the day. Cheesesteak, fries and a drink. Husband ordered an Italian hoagie, fries and a drink. $34 for both. A great price. Everything is cooked to order. Took about 10-15 minutes. The sandwiches were huge. We should have flipped a coin and shared. We didn't need two orders of fries and both of us had half of our sandwiches left. My cheesesteak had a mountain of grilled, chopped onions and lots of melted Cooper Sharp cheese. The Liscio's roll was perfect. I thought my roll would get soggy but it held up the the mountain of fillings. My husband's hoagie on a seeded roll loaded with thinly sliced cold cuts. It was very good but didn't compare to the cheesesteak. He said my cheesesteak was probably the best he's ever had. When in the area again we will definitely stop. Everyone was friendly and pleasant and food was awesome.

    Tried this place for the first time a few weeks ago after many recommendations. Tinier place, but…read morecute! The decor was cool and eye catching. I placed my order online and only had to wait a few minutes when I was there. One thing I wasn't nuts about was seeing a bunch of fries already packed sitting under a heat lamp when I got there. A young gentleman was packing the to go orders who seemed a little flustered which made sense cause it seemed there was a rush happening, but wound up forgetting to give me the side of cheese sauce I ordered. I should have checked myself so it's a little on me, but I did make it a point to ask him if it was in the bag and he said yes. When I tried the fries at first, they were actually excellent. Perfectly warm, crispy, and salty however after sitting out only for about 5-10 minutes, they took on a texture of staleness which was disappointing but I suppose it's from already sitting out under the lamp. I feel like if they were made to order, they'd probably stay fresher a bit longer. I got the roast pork sandwich with provolone and roasted red peppers which was very good! The pork was seasoned well, a little peppery which I love. Roasted red peppers were good too! As much as I loved it, it was absolutely swimming in juice or oil from the peppers so it was extremely messy, but again, delicious! We also ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich called the hoagie which was great. They make a wonderful cutlet! I'd for sure come back, but maybe skip the fries next time.
