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. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and op... read more

Dave's is delicious, affordable, and perfectly customizable. Feed two adults for under $15 or splurge on extra chicken and cauliflower. This new veggie treat is fantastic! Toss with greens at home for a terrific fried chicken salad. Order online for pickup In ten minutes. Plenty of parking. Easy in and out. Don't forget to try the cauliflower!!!

8/31 Ambulance Anthology #10 Taste - 8.5 Value - 8 Portability - 8 Craved a hot chicken sandwich and have heard from friends that Dave's is a fairly dependable spot, so decided to check it out. Ordered the 1 slider and fries combo for just under $11. Super spacious with indoor and outdoor seating, with maybe a couple people in line by the time we got there and a good majority of the seats empty. Cashier seemed a bit annoyed to be taking our order but no big deal. Took a staggering half hour for my one sandwich to come out, ... read more

Good but not the best service. Been to a couple other dave's locations and the fountain valley location is just not as good as the rest of them. My order took awhile to get cooked and when I got home, I realized that they forgot to give the dave's sauce in the box. Also very stingy with their fries portions. Would recommend going to the costa mesa location.

My husband has always been raving about Dave's Hot Chicken and we decided to give it a try together when I was in OC. It was phenomenal. The chicken is crispy, perfectly spicy, sweet and salty, and so juicy. I got the sandwich and fries and I really appreciate the sauce on the side. My perfect bite was chicken + sauce + extra honey packets. Make sure you ask for extra honey it makes it so much better. Employees there were kind and efficient. The store was very clean and had a contemporary vibe. Overall a stellar experience ... read more

I love Dave's Hot Chicken. I used to wait hours in LA for this place but now it's right around the corner with convenient app ordering. There's fast casual seating inside and out! They're really nice here and the potions are generous. I never finish a whole chicken sandwich! I typically get mild or medium depending on my mood but it's this perfect amount of sauce but still dry. I love the sauce they give you (like a spicy mayo) and always get extra for my fries. The sauce come sauce comes in packets now! The fries are crin... read more

It was so good!!! The chicken tenders were perfectly cooked and it tasted even better with their signature sauce. I had my order be delivered and the only problem was that it was missing the three extra sauce packets that I payed for. But other then that, it was good. Definitely ordering again!!
