Fresh & tasty. Ordered medium heat which was not spicy at all. Fries were good enough. Asked for hot sauce and got off brand packets that weren’t too hot or tasty. Waited about 15 minutes for our order and there were about 6 other people there. Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake was very good. Would go back again and try heat level Hot

Store was clean. Counter personal efficient and informative. Shared seasoning types and new menu before we placed our order. Food was fresh and delicious. Giant portions! Great experience for our first visit to Dave's Hot Chicken ever! Ocean township store is great!

Their chicken tenders are really good. The prices are a bit higher for fast food but the quality and uniqueness are very good. The coatings on the tenders are good and crunchy. The meat is very juicy but not overly tender. It still has some chew to it. The Dave's sauce is good but seemingly no different from any other place's secret sauce, which is just thousand island dressing. the fries are always perfectly cooked crinkle cut. Their dry rub spice blend is nice and kinda goes on everything. They use very good quality rolls, I think potato rolls, for their sandwiches. The pickle slices are a nice and needed touch since you can start to feel overly greased out from eating so much fried food.
