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.

Service was very good. Ambiance is standard fast food but clean. Food is really good but I think locally based Fry the Coop is a bit better.

I have always been such a Dave's fan! This particular location is incredible, the customer service is amazing, and the people who work behind the desk one of the kindest and helpful people who've ever served me!! I always get Dave number two because it's so affordable to split with a friend for a little snack! The inside is so Vibey and I love how there's always energy going on there! Shout out to the two VIPs at the front last night

It's been a couple of years since we visited David's Hot Kitchen. My newest review is the same as my last, with one new addition: the noisy chairs and the loud music; upon entering, I asked the cashier to lower the music, and he lowered it right away. The restaurant is very clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful with the menu. I will go back again, and I hope they get the message about the "crazy loud music." The manager was very friendly and asked us if we needed anything. I happened to need a carry-out container and... read more

This was a fun one! We stopped here for a quick dinner after hearing that they serve great chicken finger sliders. Had to try them. The place looks different. It felt like it was more geared to highschoolers and kids. That's not to say that it wasn't nice and clean. It was, but the graffiti artwork was more on the boys, bathroom tagging, then than on serious graffiti side. Putting aside, there was art to be found in that place. The artistry of their chicken tender sandwiches is beautiful. These sandwiches were huge! And wit... read more

Go for the hottest flavor. It was amazing. Amazing flavor and texture. Fries are good too. I judge a place on its fries. It surprised me when I had some.

Dave's is BY FAR the best chicken fast casual/food restaurant chain in Chicago! I love the flavors of all the items on the menu. The chicken is incredible as well as the fries. Mac and Cheese was great, wasn't the best I've ever had but was still up there. I expect Dave's to expand to more locations soon. 

Business response:

We're thrilled to see our efforts reflected in your feedback. It's customers like you that make our job wonderful. Always count on us!

Not better than Harold's but it's up there. Sliders are the bomb.com, 8/10 would risk my life again. I recommend the extra hot for my ice spicey lovers
