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.

I love their hot sandwiches, anything past hot is just so hot that the flavor is only spice. If thats your thing cool for you, and if you love hot chicken you gotta try it. Also their fries are amazing. Sliders come with pickles and cole slaw and its SO GOOOOOOD!

We came into Daves after things had died down a bit. The lines were insanely long when they first opened but it seems like they've found their groove. This place is basically a Raising Canes but with hot chicken, but their Daves sauce is no canes sauce!. There are three menu options, a couple sides, and heat options. We went with the medium but would probably go hot next time. The meal was fulfilling and the chicken was flavorful and tender. A bit greasy but it is fried chicken after all. All in all, solid chicken

Had to check out the hot chicken, a big fan since a visit to Nashville. At noon on Saturday it was certainly busy but orders were coming out quickly. The menu is very basic with three options, tenderloin, sliders or one of each. I ordered my sliders HOT, very tasty but I must admit by towards the end I was getting some head sweat, a sign of good heat! Somewhat pricey but good, all options were for two pieces or sandwiches so you could always split an order if you weren't that hungry.

First and last visit. Ordered 2 sliders expecting slider sized sandwiches. They are not, would easily qualify for an almost full sized sandwich. Obviously, 2 were too much lunch for me. Ordered "lite mild" seasoning which was plenty of heat. Sandwich is kind of messy due to pickle, coleslaw, and sauce. Definitely need multiple napkins. The star of the show is supposed to be the chicken, it wasn't. Filet was a little on the tough side, I've had better elsewhere. Whether by design or by accident, filet was oblong and ... read more

Always wanted to try this chain. They do a great job. Order was prompt and correct. Flavor was great. Had other hot chicken that has been hotter per level but really no complaints on how they do their thing here. Would recommend!

Initial thoughts were positive, good flavor, good spiciness, quality meat and hefty portions, but I had gut-rot for like 3 days after, hence the only 3 stars. Negative 1 star for the severe gut-rot. I've been avoiding fast food for a while, but had to try, that may have played a role in the extended gut-rot.

When Dave's Hot Chicken first opened, I was surprised because for some reason I had always associated it with the West Coast...to think that such a place as Menomonee Falls would be graced with its presence? However, I never made my way over to try it out because it's a bit out of the way unless you're in the area, and there were stories of long lines during their early days. After finally giving it a try, I can safely say...I wish I'd gone sooner! The restaurant is located just across the street from the Menomonee Falls C... read more

Extremely long line, but it goes by fast. Menu very simple chicken tenders or chicken tender sandwich. Nashville hot is not my favorite but not a bad sandwich at all
