This was my first time visiting Dave's Hot Chicken. Chicken is my weakest link and as a healthy eater I sometimes go off base as I did on Monday. The crew couldn't be more friendly and helpful. I'm a spicy kinda girl and tried their Medium and hot heat level. the chicken tenders were cooked to perfection and coated well. It was the perfect bite of the bread sauce a pickle and tender on top. Add honey to add even more flavor. I'm kinda sad that they are located on route 4 in Paramus, a place I visit often. Now I'll need more... read more

It was solid. We read about the long wait times so we ordered ahead. Got there right when order was up. Super juicy, tender and flavorful chicken the hot has a nice kick. I didn't go all the way for Max heat. Maybe next time. The wife got the cheese fries with chicken nuggets on top. A little chintzy w the cheese so I asked for some extra. 2 piece chicken w fries is more than enough for lunch. Solid portions. Someone else mentioned they tell you to download the app and you'll get a free soda, but that is not the case. You... read more

Very good I got the Dave's number 4 and I got hot for my spice level and it was excellent and I absolutely drenched it in Dave's sauce. Service was good but when I asked for a cup of pickles (it is on the menu) they looked at me like they didn't know it was on the menu. Ambiance was great love the red chairs and the art. Overall this place is very good

Really great. My first visit was this weekend. Driving down from Western CT back home to watch our beloved NY Jets (I know), my younger son begged/demanded I try it. He has many times with friends, he promised it would not disappoint. I told him he was taking a big gamble. Going to a chain Resto on a trip back to our home state where food is religion. He was right on for this type of food. Simply the best chicken I've ever imagined in a fast/fast casual setting. Literally so juicy. So fresh and hot and crispy and flavo... read more

They need to fix the app. Downloaded and signed up but the staff said the soda coupon wouldn't work. That was it. No explanation. The chicken and fries were really good as well as the Dave's sauce. They seem to be improving the wait time issues, but still about 20-25min. Not sure if I will be back. I already submitted feedback through the receipt QR code.

Waited over 1/2 hour for order even though we were the only ones on line, but the counter people were awesome and really worked hard. Didn't figure in Grub Hub and Door Dash and App orders. If you are in a hurry you should order ahead. Chicken was great and they don't charge extra for extra sauce like that " other " place.

Dave's Hot Chicken was fantastic. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. I got the medium spice level and it had just the right amount of heat without overpowering the taste. Others in my party got the mild and they enjoyed it. The sliders were a good size, the pickles, slaw and sauce complemented everything perfectly, and the fries were hot and seasoned just right. The place was very clean. The staff were super friendly, and the food came out pretty fast and very fresh... read more
