Chicken is very moist and tasty and if you like spicy and get the reaper, you better be ready. Service was very efficient the day I went even though they had just opened. Pretty good. To me a lot better taste and how moist their chicken is than the place with the long lines and un flavorful chicken. Great addition to that spot.

5 stars back to you for being an amazing guest! Thanks for the love and see you next time!

The screaming chicken logo suits this brand perfectly! The Hot & the Reaper are two of my favorites. I love the simplicity of their menu and the vibe of the place. If you can't get to check out the OG of Nashville, Prince's Hot Chicken and live in NJ- definitely go try Dave's Hot Chicken. Once you get a little taste of it.. I'm sure you'll agree with me, its worth the wait even during their busy time. 

Business response:

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!

I visited Dave's Hot Chicken on Saturday which was their 2nd day being open. The service was great, the restaurant was very clean, although it was very crowded, the wait time was short. The amount of food for the money was great. I will visit again. 

Business response:

We aim to impress! Thank you! Come back again soon!

I've always wanted to try this from seeing it on the internet and it finally opened up nearby. The place was packed, they gave out buzzers to wait for the food to be ready. It took a little awhile but once it was done it was so good. I got the hot level which wasn't hot to me, chicken was so good. Even with the honey and Dave's sauce. Fries as well were delicious. Definitely will come back again soon! 

Business response:

Aww we are so glad that you enjoyed your meal and that we were able to create a memorable experience for you. We hope that you come back again soon!

I am a huge fan of DHC and this location did not disappoint. I have been waiting for DHC to open a location in Monmouth County for years, and I am so glad it is finally here!! I ordered the #3 (1 tender, 1 slider with fries). I ordered my tender mild, and my slider medium. Both were absolutely incredible. The fries were also seasoned so incredibly well. Everyone should visit and taste Dave's Hot Chicken. Their chicken is some of the juiciest chicken I have ever had in a chicken chain! Congrats DHC team! 

Business response:

People like you are what keep us going. We appreciate the love and support. Hope to have you back soon!

The Chicken is perfectly Crispy. The Service is amazing.They severe you Your food Really fast.The relaxed ambiance OF The Paintings ON The wall was great. I had a great time. It was delicious. The food was hot and ready when it came out and it was crispy and the sauce was like a less zesty canes sauce. 

Business response:

Wow! Thank you so much for the 5-star review. We're delighted to know you enjoyed your experience with us. Do come back soon

The food was only okay. There's nothing special about their flavor or seasoning. They're also stingy with ketchup packets. We ordered three meals to dine in and I was given two packets of ketchup. The second time we tried the food wasn't much better.

Dave's new deal of 20 mini sliders for $40 is a complete rip-off. Overpriced new deal. It says it serves 5 people, but honestly it only serves 2 people. They cut one regular slider into 4 mini sliders and 20 mini from 5 regular sliders, completely ripped off. Shame on you, Dave's chicken, for introducing this cheap and completely unfair deal.it should not be more than $20 for this deal. 

Business response:

We're very sorry for letting you down. We will look to improve so that we can provide a better experience for you the next time. Please connect with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc for a second chance to hopefully WOW you

So...thought I'd enjoy this place, but a complete letdown. First, after waiting for the order which came out wrong and confirmed by dumb and dumber at the counter the French fries were cold, the white bread disintegrated, and the chicken was salty beyond salty. I'll never be coming back. 

Business response:

I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience. This isn’t the standard we strive for, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. We would appreciate the opportunity to make things right. Please contact us directly at tellusdirect.com/dhc so we can address your concerns.
