Look... is it hot? I'd say it's mildly attractive. If it was on a scale from 1-me, it would fall at a good 5'8" guy that gives too many hugs. Is the chicken crispy? Yes. Is it greasy? Yes. Does it taste like anything? Not really. If this was $5 I'd say it's not bad, but I got a free slider, fries, and a small shake and it was $10. If the slider wasn't free it's $18. My friend got a slice of white bread with a chicken tender on top. Look... compared to other places, really not that amazing. Compared to college dining hall foo... read more

After a long day of baseball, the kid wanted to go to Dave's Hot Chicken. We ordered there opposed to ordering online. Inside was very clean and well organized. Very wide open and plenty of seating inside if you wanted to eat in. We all got the chicken sandwich. My son and I got our chicken with medium sauce and my wife got mild. Medium had a slight kick. Nothing crazy. Chicken itself was tender and freshly made. I think there was just a little too much breading on it for me I also got an order of Mac and Cheese wh... read more

A five star chicken spot. Almost unheard of in my book. This place was packed and the flow of customers was very consistent. As soon as someone got up from a table we grabbed it. Very clean, very vibrant space. Menu is simple, does not over complicate things. Sliders and tenders. Even a vegan option called Dave's Not Chicken which is a cauliflower sub. The heat ranges from none to sign a waiver if you want to try it.(!) I love the option that allows you to get a tender and a slider because why not? I did. I punked out a bit... read more

Honestly, I came into this establishment at 10 pm not expecting much because it was late and it is fast food. But I was so pleasantly surprised The wait wasn't that long and the cashier had a very great attitude. The fries and chicken were super crispy which I loved. It's more of a dry rub, rather than sauce on the chicken but it's a game changer if you put the honey on the sandwich!!!

TLDR: great food, great value. Eat the chicken tender/sliders with honey and Dave's sauce. New establishment in Kearny and it certainly did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and helpful, food was amazing and worth its price. A lot of seating in very busy environment. Looking at the menu, you would think it is pricy just for some chicken. But it's not. It's worth is value and the flavors you get to experience are priceless. Chicken tenders are HUGE, fries are nice and crisp, Dave's sauce is perfect and when paired to... read more
