This is a new establishment in East Brunswick and it was my first time going. We waited on line about 20 minutes to order as the place was packed. We ordered the slider box. Which comes with 10 sliders and ordered half mild and half hot. What they call a slider a call an entire sandwich so be warned . We also ordered a box of fries which are seasoned, kale slaw, pickles and the Mac and cheese. The chicken sliders were good. I'm not one for spice and the spicy option was just hot enough, but I was able to soldier through with... read more

My new go to spot on rt 18 for a quick bite! I came a day after opening and it was so busy and for good reason! The tenders are massive yet still juicy. I got the hot & extra hot tenders and will for sure try the reaper next! The hot was a good heat but the extra hot didn't seem that much hotter. I upgraded and got the cheese fries. They were a bit skimp on the cheese but I'll give them another chance when it isn't so busy.

I went to check out the opening of the new Dave's Hot Chicken in East Brunswick, and it was a pretty good experience. I love the bright, colorful, graffiti art inside and outside the restaurant. The staff were friendly and the food came out quick. I got a Dave's #4, medium heat, with cheese. It came with a chicken slider, fries, pickles, and extra sauce. I've never had Dave's Hot Chicken before, but I thought the chicken was good. Medium looked more intimidating than it actually tasted, and the chicken was cooked well. I wou... read more

Food was pretty mediocre, and the chicken itself is bland without the hotness. The spice level thing is a cool gimmick, but the chicken itself is very plain. With a side they give plain white bread that is super lightly toasted and French fries that are hot oil tasteless strips. Atmosphere is nice with the graffiti art and popular in 60s/70s rock and roll. Service is good and fairly fast like a 15 min wait. Overall, not worth it.

Not a fan. This is a Cane's chicken "wannabe ". We were there at 4:30, the only customers at the time. I ordered 10 tenders, cashier heard me wrong and gave me 10 sliders. In fairness, she offered to change them ( and the music was so loud she probably had trouble hearing me). Unfortunately, we were getting pretty impatient, and just couldn't wait for her to change it. There were 7 employees working (i use that term lightly), yet it took 20 minutes to get the food as most of them were just standing around talking. The c... read more

The chicken was really bad ! my spicy chicken tasted sweet/ over seasoned in the wrong ways. The restaurant was absolutely disgusting. All the tables still had food on them from previous customers.
