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

I loved all of my food. I usually don't like pickles but there was something perfect about the combo of the seasoning, breading, sauce, and the pickles all together. I had a great time with my friends, and everything was wonderful.

Dave's Hot Chicken in Naperville was one of my favorite chicken sandwiches to date! It was crispy and juicy. The chicken tenders were amazing too. I love that you can customize the spice level for each individual entree. We also tried the new chicken bites, mac and cheese, and oreo milkshake You can find other Dave's locations across the Chicagoland area and the US.

"Submit" your order 2 minutes before pick up if your paranoid about not getting your meal while it's still warm. Love the service at night. Very seamless, especially if you have the app! Get the reaper tenders with fries meal try substituting the fries for the mac & cheese. If you're doing keto, this will ruin it. Stop worrying about gaining weight and feel good. Ask for honey packs. Oh. If your into spicy food, reaper isn't that spicy.

Nice diner vibe. I love their sliders and their fries are perfect- stopped by several times already and will continue to when I'm around the area.

The food is fresh, well cooked, crunchy and delicious! The fries were phenomenal, and the staff was very helpful and kind! I even give them an B for cleanliness, considering they work a bit crowded. I can't wait to try them again. I'm hoping that they are consistent in their food and service.

Came on a weeknight and dined in. I ordered the 2 tender meal with the "hot" spicy level. The portions were big and the tenders had a lot of meat, they weren't all breading like some places (Canes). The seasoning was good, but the chicken was just a little dry. I also liked that it came with fries, 3 Dave's sauces, pickles, and two pieces of toast. The only downside was that the "toast" was actually just a piece of un buttered un toasted white bread. Not sure if you can ask them to toast or butter it but will try next ... read more

I've been coming here since they opened and each time it's been a great experience, both for carry-out and dine-in. Staff is always friendly, food is always the same great quality! I do wish their dining area was a bit larger but otherwise I can't find anything to complain about. I would highly recommend it!
