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 one of my favorite spots for fried chicken. The food is flavorful and makes you want to go back again. I typically dine at the Anaheim location, but I was pressed for time, and this one is closer to my house. I brought my husband for the first time, and he loved the food. He got mild tenders, and I got no spice. We shared cheese fries, and each had our own kale slaw. The food was good, but the ambiance was just okay. Our order was slightly wrong, but the staff was friendly and quickly fixed it. The tables were ... read more

Hey, NOT BAD! I cant take heat so I got the mild number two and it was tasty. Those pieces of chicken are nice and big and juicy, yum! Fries tasted delicious as well with or without the sauce. Personally I didn't even think the sauce was needed as it was that tasty. Menu is limited but what they do have is great. 

Business response:

Thanks for the tasty review Roland! We're glad you loved it!

Don't know where to start this location goes above and beyond to make sure you have an exceptional experience it's a hidden gem in Fullerton. The place is small but very welcoming and provides amazing guest service. They make sure to greet every single guest! Best chicken spot if you want juicy spicy chicken. My favorite is the cheese fries and extra hot #2. Music playing in the background is the ONLY thing I would change. 

Business response:

LOL our music is a little old school but it will grow on you! Thanks for the review Daniel!

We tried all the flavors and we were very into the lite mild and mild!!! If you like the SUPER SUPER SPICY get the extra hot or reaper!!! the kale slaw was lovely in the sandwich and the sides were amazing too! The mac and cheese was very cheesy and creamy! the worker in this location are very friendly and nice :) would come back again if I am craving for this (please don't mind my grammatical errors in this entire run on paragraph) 

Business response:

Pretty okay. I got 2 sliders and fries, after one slides and half the fries I was already full, I cant ever finish the whole thing. The pickles are my favorite pickles from any fast food place and I love how they give so much on the side!! BUT honestly at first I thought it was okay, after hearing all the hype and trying it out, I don't think it was worth the hype.

We'd really love a second chance to make this right. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie

Dave's is probably my favorite of all the hot chicken chains. Being hungry after work late one night I was pleased so see this Dave's location still open at 10pm. I ordered a single slider and a small chocolate milkshake. Dave's has several choices for spiciness and I chose "mild" and also added cheese to my sandwich. Even though they call them "sliders" the chicken & bun are good sized and plenty for a late night snack. The chicken was tender and moist, seasoned perfectly, and served piping hot. The slaw and pickles add ... read more
