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.

Love it ! I'd wanted to go the Dallas location months ago and never got the chance when I realised their was one in Fort Worth - way more accessible for me, I was straight over!! My husband was concerned about the portion sizes as it's a slider and tender combo - but it was enough food, the slider isn't that small, tbh it's about the size of a Shake Shack burger. We went for hot and we both enjoy spicy food but wouldn't go hotter than hot, it has a nice kick to it and I like the crunch of the batter on the tenders. The buns ... read more

The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. I can't wait to go back. I got the #2 with cheese fries and is worth every bite. I choose extra hot as my heat level but they do have Reaperfor all of you brave people.

Oh my goodness gracious! This place is da bomb! Plenty of parking and tables inside plus a warm greeting from behind the counter. But most importantly.... the food. The menu is small which is probably why they are so good at what they do. The chicken is brined (in pickle juice) and breaded in house. No frozen tenders here fellow yelpers! You choose your spice level and your tender or slider (a rather large slider in my opinion) is made to order. Not alot of breading either which i prefer. I tried a medium tender and hot ... read more

I ordered delivery from Yelp and the food was great. First, they called me to make sure I made the right choices. Second, they delivered very fast. Last, the food was good. I got the two chicken sliders (mild) with fries and just like the other reviews one slider is a lot! But I got through half of the fries and almost finished the second slider. I'm a huge fan of thousand island and they gave me plenty for my entire meal. Yes it's a little pricey, but you're paying for what you get. Good service and good food!

A bit pricey for what it is. The chicken was extremely salty, so it was hard to taste much else. The fries were okay. They did not have sauces.

The chicken was good and also the fries. The only reason why I gave this place only three stars is because of the prices. I only got two sandwiches and a tender plus cheese fries and paid a little over $40. This was way to high when I could go to Rule the Roster and pay way less and still eat a very good Nashville chicken sandwich.

Highly recommend Dave's Hot Chicken. A lot of places in the DFW are attempting the Nashville hot chicken (I've had Hattie B's, Prince Hot Chicken, Howlin Ray's, Ricky's Hot Chicken, and more). So far in Fort Worth this is the best! They offer sliders and tenders. Spice level goes from no spice to reaper. I played it safe and went for hot. You can mix and match as well!

So excited to try this place because I'm a big fan of Nashville hot chicken! The menu is very simple - only sliders and tenders. The slider is the size of a regular sandwich. However, the prices are quite high. Big pieces of chicken that were very juicy. Hot spice level was just right for me. Had a good heat and kick but wasn't unbearable. Tried the extra hot too, and it ruined the flavor. Love adding the honey for a sweet and spicy balance. The fries were so crispy and light too! I really dunked them in the Dave's sauce l... read more
