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.

Ok chicken place.. it is like a canes chicken if you have heard of that. Pros: you can pick the spice of your chicken, I prefer the chicken over canes chicken. The slider comes with coleslaw on the bun which gives it a nice crunch. Cons- the sauce is flavorless. The fries overpower the sauce when eaten together. The fries are okay. The white bread that comes with a tender is not toasted. It's just a cold slice of bread they grabbed out of a bread bag.

What a great addition to the Lakewood food scene! The restaurant has vibrant pictures all around the store. I went with my two sons who are 1 and 5. It wasn't too busy during lunch on a Friday so the service was quick and efficient. I ordered the 2 chicken sliders lite mild and an additional slider with no spice and fries. My son said the lite mild was a little spicy for his liking. I enjoyed the mild slider it was very flavorful and the Dave's sauce was a great addition as well. I even dipped my fries in it. This portion si... read more

Had this place after the Browns game and it was delicious. This was my 2nd time trying Dave's and I look forward to the Columbus Grand Opening! Chicken Sammies 1-5=5. Fries 1-5=5.

A bit of a wait but didn't live up to the hype for me. This was slightly different than other hot chicken places I've tried. You get a lot of food though.

Went here to try their hottest chicken. They make you sign a waiver prior to trying. I thought it was a nice level of spice but nothing worth signing a waiver over. The sandwich overall is a Nashville style sandwich. Will go back and maybe get the hot sauce on the side also to add some more gear to the sandwich.

This place let me say that the staff is super nice and helpful. The establishment itself has cool decor and nice patio with plenty of seating. The seasoning is good , and the breading is consistent. If it had the option to get a thigh or a leg it would be 5 stars . But if you like chicken breast your gonna love it . I ordered 3 two slider meals with fries and cheese sauce, with two extra sides , and 3 cokes came to 61 dollars. Just let you know if the cost .

Hands down the best chicken I have ever had. I got the mild sauce and it wasn't too spicy at all. Will be coming back soon. :)

Daves hot chicken is exactly that. It's large portion spicy. hot chicken . Order the mild or 1 only and its good. Their employees say the same things... the portions are too big so you will be taking some home.. the price is about 15 and worth it because it's a lot of food.but my price point is around ten bucks.. they made their bed so their stuck.. next point they were open late which is why i went. Next night I went to Canes and ain't looking back price right and one person portions. I went 5 days in a row.. And not s... read more
