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.

Dave's is located on a busy street. Good Luck with parking. The inside is decorated as a ski theme and even has a mannequin sitting in a lift chair suspended in the air. The food is pretty good. Food Review: Dave's #3 Extra Hot with Cheese, was enough to feed two or for another meal. It came with a slider ~ ha! This was a full size chicken sandwich, fries, chicken strip, bread and pickles. Chicken Sandwich - thick chicken breast, fried dark and crispy, with juiciness underneath the bold spicy seasonings. Chicken Strip -... read more

I order from Grubhub and the hot chicken slider (I always get extra hot) figuratively and literally blows my mind. The dumb meaningless war between chik-fil-a and Popeyes is child's play. They cannot even compare to Dave's. Thank you for bringing this most delicious dish into my life. I hope others can experience this most amazing sandwich. Side note: the fries are chef's kiss.

Was looking for a quicker place to eat for my birthday yesterday, went to this place on a whim. To put things short, all staff was wonderful. Our two meals came out in about 6 minutes, and were unbelievably delicious and flavorful. The fries are to die for. The place has a hip and almost sarcastic ambiance, but it's also wonderful. I will be recommending and going here for as long as I can. P.S: I can handle HOT foods and their hot flavor had me sweating and my nose dripping.

Just visiting the Denver area, if you want or like spicy chicken then come here. Very clean, simple menu, and extremely friendly staff. Retro feel the the area and restaurant. Ordered the #2, two sliders with fries(hot), slider was a big strip and cooked perfect. Fresh Pickles and homemade sauce on a fresh bun. Ugh, I can't express the flavor profile this put out. Crinkle Fries had season salt and complimented the sliders. They put a mayo base sauce on the side that is tasty as well. Highly recommend to anyone in the ar... read more

We needed a place to eat before heading to the airport, so we stopped through here for an early dinner. It was around 4:30 and not busy at all. The only options were tenders or sliders, so I shared with my boyfriend and surprisingly it kept us both satisfied! I got medium and it was the right amount of kick for me. Boyfriend also enjoyed the hot chicken! Loved the pickles too though it was a little too spicy for me. Would go again!

First time having Dave's in Colorado. My youngest & I have been to the Artesia CA location previously and loved it. This time it was my oldest son's first ever experience with Dave's. Dave's in Highland definitely came through...it was really good!! We ordered the 2 slider combo...both hot, and 2 Al's carte tenders, 1 medium & 1 hot. The hot had a good amount of spice for sure, but wasn't so much so that it overpowered or distracted from the overall taste/flavor experience. Or at least that's what my boys told me...I was th... read more

This is probably the best Nashville hot chicken I've had outside of the south. In fact, I would even say it's better than Hattie B's if you're familiar with them. We ordered the extra hot level for both our entrees (the tenders and a sandwich) and I would say that level feels true to Nashville hot levels. The flavors were great and the chicken is juicy, and it doesn't hurt that the service is friendly and fast. I also appreciate that their menu is simple, so it makes ordering easy. Pro tip: order extra pickles if you get the... read more

Was craving some hot chicken and Dave's was open late and surely satisfied that craving! Got the sandwich, tender, and fry combo at hot level heat. Food tasted fresh and order was quick to pick up.
