About this business

TO LIVE AND FRY IN L.A. In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept — take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw — they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long.

Dave’s Hot Chicken is a decent spot if you’re looking for Nashville-style hot chicken in Charlotte. The place has a fun, vibrant atmosphere, and the service was friendly and efficient. The chicken itself was crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned, with a range of spice levels to choose from. The sliders were generously portioned, and the crinkle-cut fries were solid. That said, for someone from South Asia like myself, layered flavors are the norm, the spice levels felt more about heat than depth of flavor. The seasoning was just ... read more

The first thing I noticed when we came through the door was the sanitary rating of 💯. The facility was clean and had a friendly personnel. My husband and I visited for the first time. He had the sandwich and fries, and I had Dave's Chicken Bites with fries. Their sauce that comes with each meal is delicious and not hot. My husband ordered a medium hot sauce. The chicken was tender and delicious 😋. We will definitely be returning. I also liked that they had fried cauliflower, and my granddaughter, who is vegan, will defini... read more

Came here for the first time the other day. Had heard really good things about it. The service was great. Our cashier was friendly and helpful. We were able to sit outside because the weather was nice enough. The food was a little disappointing. I found that the chicken was over seasoned with cumin. It was about all I could taste. The food definitely looked better than it tasted. I really liked the fries and the Dave’s sauce though.

Xio, Sean, and the staff were the best... this was my first experience at Dave's Hot chicken. The music was good, the food was AMAZING, it was hot and above all it was fresh, I started with the mild to see how it would be and it was off the charts good. I am going to recommend this place if you want some of the best chicken around!! Thanks to Woody & Wilcox for talking about them on the radio all the time... I had a little time today, so this is the day!!! Bring friends, get wild, and share different levels of heat!!! If ... read more
