I really like Daves because of how juicy the chicken is but i chose the slider this time and I was kinda taken back on how raw the whole bread feels. It could be more toasted or toasted to order because otherwise it just kills the whole flavor of chicken. Great service and patio seating with a chill ambiance .

HOT CHICKEN HAVEN I try to avoid fast food, but Dave's Hot Chicken was offering a free chicken slider if you downloaded their app. Since I had heard a lot about this place, I was curious to try it. The Fairfax location was hopping when I arrived. As I was ordering at their counter, I noticed that they also offered a free milkshake if you checked in on Yelp. Being a YEE, you know I couldn't resist. You can choose your spice level, so I went with "hot." While I was waiting for them to freshly cook my slider, I read the encour... read more

Fresh and tasty but way too salty. Service was courteous. Plenty of seating outside. I recommend.

As a person who enjoys eating at Dave's Hot chicken this location is decent. They have a really cool interior, but the staff are meh. I came in with my cousin and we both ordered our food right after each other, so I was very confused as to why her order took longer to come out when we ordered the same thing. This wasn't just for her order, but seemed to be the case for other customers as well. Hence, why I took off a star because it make's absolutely no sense and was a bit annoying. On the bright side, a good perk about com... read more

WOW. JUST WOW. Dave's Hot Chicken is the BEST Nashville Hot Chicken in Los Angeles. Trust ME! I have had it all and if you don't believe me just look at my waistline!! I am getting husky from all these delicious spices. I have had all the LA hot spots for Hot Chicken: Howlin Rays is too salty and too spicy for me and there is a 2 hour wait in line. Dave's Hot Chicken is flavorful, colorful, great portion size and spicy as heck! I usually get the MEDIUM Heat for a flavorful sandwich but when I am feeling kind of crazy or if... read more

I have to say that I didn't have high expectations for this place and truly only ordered here because I convinced myself it was better than ordering from McDonalds or any other fast food joint. But oh my! How surprised I was by how amazing the chicken slider and fries were! Since I door dashed to my job I can only comment on the food. Food: 9/10 The slider was packed with flavor and was definitely generous in its size (in my opinion because I can't eat as much food as others before getting full). The bread flattened out qu... read more

Accessibility: small parking lot behind the building, but what I did not like about this is that not only is the parking lot for customers, it's also for ANYONE who wants to pay 20 bucks for all day parking, to walk around LA and not worry about their car. So ultimately, the Dave's Hot Chicken parking lot is being filled up by non-Dave's people who just pay to park there. The restaurant is hustling people, making extra money, and creating no space for their actual customers to park for free in their parking lot. Gross. But b... read more

I've been to this Dave's twice now an both times it was because it was open late and I needed something to eat after having had a drink or two nearby. Both times I've gotten the #2 combo because I just wanted some sliders and gotten it 'hot.' I think previous time I tried DHC at another location the heat level eventually grew to be too much a few hours later. I don't know if it's the insulating/numbing power of alcohol or maybe they've toned down the heat but I've found the Dave's here to be not so turbulent on my system. ... read more

So pleasantly surprised by the food here! The chicken is super tender and PACKED with flavor. The mild spice had more flavor than the medium spice for me, but I recommend mixing and matching spice levels to try more flavors. This place reminds me of a better Raisin Canes
