    Taking out for my nephew who lives Daves. The bites and slider and a wait. Interesting shake menu. The place has a crowd. The decor is cool. The chicken can be mild or spicy and it's pretty good for a fat food type of place.

    2 sliders combo

    Another hot chicken place in NJ. This is one of the better ones that I've tried. I Chicken was very juicy. I ordered hot, which was just perfect. Not overly spicy. The rub they used was great too.... really flavorful. All of the combos seems to consist of 2 items + fries, which is actually too much food. I got the 2 sliders ($15), and struggled to finish. 2 sliders + fries is probably better for 2 people (may add a tender or two). Next time I may just get 2 tenders. Fries are crinkle cut, and cooked well. Again, I enjoyed the seasoning that they used. Its in the same plaza as best buy, k pot, etc, so its a huge lot but can get busy, And of course you need to deal with the idiotic driving on the 22.

    Chocolate Shake

    Went here again after having bad experience my first time here. I got their # 3 Combo which includes hot chicken slider, chicken tender and fries and a chocolate shake. They give you a sliding scale choice of how hot you want it. I ordered hot. Slider was good, but still think too much batter on chicken. Tender was huge. Fries are crinkle cut , similar to store bought and average at best. Heat was nice on chicken. Chocolate shake was very good.

    Chicken sandwich and Cheese Fries

    A delicious hot chicken sandwich. I'd add some hot honey on top. Tasty fries and I had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake. I like that it's extremely convenient right off 22. Plenty of parking. Place is always busy probably order online or over the phone so you don't have to wait for long. I think this is one of my top 5 chicken sandwiches. I like the hip hop graffiti decor they have in the restaurant. Plenty of seating just gets crowded when the lines are long.

    We got 2 sliders and fries to share. It was good size slider for a lunch. I think 2 would have been too much for me. We got mild and it was perfect. I cannot imagine what would be like if it was extreme. I would definitely return. I recommend this place for good juicy chicken sandwich. It's comparable to chick-o-filet. Good to addition to our town. Service was good, it took about 5 minutes to get food, so I guess they make it as it ordered. Place was interestingly painted and decorated with modern craziness.

    Nuggets

    Dave's Hot Chicken just opened near my job, so I had to check it out for lunch. I went with the hot nuggets--not realizing they come coated in a dry rub. Heads up: they can be a little dry on their own, so dipping sauce is a must. Heat level was mild for me, but I've heard the top-tier spice is no joke. Fries were golden and crispy, no complaints there.

    From ordering, to pick up, to eating, this was a real treat. We ordered online very late morning and it was ready within a few minutes. Tried a variety of things, including the "not chicken" cauliflower bites, which were amazing. Went with medium-heat tenders and slider, and then ordered a couple of hot tenders to share among us. Great heat, not too overpowering for most of us, and the Dave's sauce was great.

The kind of confidence that doesn't announce itself, it just delivers. Then there's the crema de cilantro and aji, which basically tag team your taste buds and ask, "You good?" Yes. I'm great. Mind your business. This is not a, "Instagram made me do it" sandwich. This is a composed, disciplined, shut up and eat sandwich. Every ingredient is there on purpose. No freeloaders. The owner is a Peruvian chef who lived in Canada and now cooks in New Jersey, which explains why this sandwich has flavor, restraint, and zero patience for mediocrity. This isn't fusion, it's life experience on bread. Fair warning: eating this will ruin weaker sandwiches for you. You'll start asking questions. You'll judge more. You'll be disappointed elsewhere.

Chicken was good, gave me KFC feels. Temperature was super hot. We had to wait a bit for it to cool done. The spaghetti was so good. I like the lil hot dogs or whatever is really in it. I grew up like that. The sauce though was really good. Like a sweet BBQ almost. They topped it with cheese which of course was all too good. I also got the Aloha burger. I think I will always get that there. It is so tasty! The sauces and angus burger just tasted sooo good! I also got the bacon chicken sandwich, the mayo was sooo good on that. I think it was an umami mayo or something. I got both pies and both did not disappoint! We got there right on time too because there was only two other people and as we sat down to wait for our food, a huge rush came in. Good to know the people like it! Also, this location, they need to check on bathrooms because it was no bueno... *NEXT DAY ORDERED FOR DELIVERY I wanted to try the angus deluxe since it seems to be the popular burger... It was okay. I will stand by that Aloha burger though. Too good! I did try the fries this time and meh... I think they were undercooked... wasn't a fan. Note on pics: I took more pictures through the app but looks like they didn't all take. I did have a nice pic of the burger and a better pic of the chicken sandwich.

I ordered a ala carte cheeseburger in the drive thru. I paid 6.85 for the burger and asked to pull ahead and bring it out to me. And so I pulled ahead and waited, and waited, and waited. I finally got my "burger" at 12:40 pm, after I went inside to get what the holdup was. Went back to my car, and it was a spicy chicken sandwich, not the burger I ordered. Unacceptable. When I told the women who brought me the chicken sandwich I questioned her on the time and she said they are understaffed. Do Better Jollibee.

She was patient, kind, and genuinely attentive -- especially as she helped me navigate my birthday points. She never rushed me, never made me feel like a burden, and walked me through everything with a smile. And let me say this: people underestimate the gift it takes to make a perfect sandwich. I watched her work, and the precision, care, and pride she put into every step was beautiful. She made my sandwich flawlessly.
