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.

SO GOOD. I've seen Dave's Hot Chicken all over social media and was so stoked to try it when I heard Michigan opened a location. The line was pretty long when I arrived but it was very efficient and I did not have to wait long. The chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious. The crunch was perfect and not overly battered and the chicken was so juicy! The flavors were outstanding and it just made for a really good sandwich. Can't wait to come here again!

New in Dearborn so we decided to order lunch today. Did carry out and my order was ready when I got there. Got the hot tenders and they were great. Not too hot, very big and tasty. Fries were good and the dipping sauce was great. Only beef I have is there is no back entrance for the public where the parking lot is located.

Oh my goodness! My tummy is so happy right now. I got the slider, Mac and cheese, and strawberry milkshake. The Mac and cheese was super creamy. The slider was perfect and the sauce was delicious. I got lite mild and that was the perfect amount of spice for me. I'll definitely be going back!

Simple menu with really good chicken...the sandwich with the slaw is a great combination. The tenders are really good and the fries have just the right amount of seasoning. Online ordering was simple and fast.

My family and I are in love! Dave's Hot Chicken is simply amazing! Don't be discouraged if it's a bit crowded when you arrive. Order online and you'll be out in a flash. We love how the spice level can be adjusted to each of our individual liking. Whichever heat level you choose, the spice blend on their chicken is phenomenal ensuring delicious and flavorful chicken! The Dave's sauce is the perfect topping. I also loved that I could see the care and thought in how my food was packaged. This ensured that all components got to... read more

Placed my order online. It was easy to do. $12 was a bit expensive for this meal in my opinion, but all in all it was pretty good. The fries were perfect. I am not a fan of crinkle fries but when they are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, I'm a fan! The slices of bread was a new twist & I'm here for it. I will definitely come back again.

We got four orders of #1 - two Med and the other two we got hot. We placed our order online, then headed over. We would highly recommend that you order online for pickup, there was a long line of folks waiting for their order and the dining room was full. We were disappointed with their hot version as it was not hot as we expected. The tenders were fried well, but would not go out of my way to Dearborn to get the tenders. I wish they had more offering then just three items.

The chicken was good. We got the mild. We definitely want to try everything with NO spices. The fries were very salty. Plus it just opened in Dearborn and the lines were crazy. Will try again once the wait isn't so long.

service: 3 food quality: 5 drink quality: 5 order time: 3 aesthetics: 3 noise level: 3 menu selection: 2 overall experience: 3.42 Chose this restaurant because it was close to the museum and had good reviews. We arrived, and had to stand in a line that was out the door, and all the way to the street. We decided to wait since it was obvious that the chicken must be good after reading other reviews and they all said the line is always long. The menu is tenders or sliders. They have a couple sides, and 5 spice levels to choos... read more
