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.

It's quick and the service was on point. It's no where close to the flavor of Nashville hot chicken but it's a good and huge sandwich, the fries were plentiful and seasoned well too. It's a better value to get 2 sliders versus just one so make sure you have someone to eat it with! The space is clean and there's good amount of parking available.

Wow! Honestly, there's so much to say about this place, but words can only do so much. This place is built like a canes; you have very limited options, but that's ok! They stick straight to the point and that's what I like. Now the difference is the tenders are ridiculously massive and they have a low heat to extreme heat of hotness you can get on your tenders. They also have different sides you can sub out which is great too! I tried the Mac n cheese with the tender sliders (hot level) and lemme tell ya, it was spicy! It wa... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken is probably my favorite fast-casual, new Hot Chicken place in Houston that I have tried so far. The Sandwich has a fantastic, zesty slaw with crispy pickles. This time I got the Hot and the Medium and both were pretty good levels of spice for the sandwich. Next time I go, I would recommend getting the order with the two sandwiches and fries, because I thought that was stellar. I really like that they give you an extra Dave's Hot Chicken Sauce, Ketchup and Honey on the side. The tender on its own is goo... read more

We have been waiting for this to open! We finally tried it today, and glad we did! We walked in and greeted with a big smile from one of the staff named Sierra. She walked us through the menu options, spice levels etc. She was darling, and so nice! The manager was super nice too! And, the food was yum yum! First of all, it is a lot of food! I ordered a hot and a medium. Hot is HOT, medium was a good heat for me. Delicious tender, and flavorful chicken with yummy slaw and pickles. I have a lot leftover for tomorrow.

My parents always get this place to go and I'm back from college so I was finally able to try it. They got the medium spicy chicken sandwiches and they were really good. The medium was a bit to spicy for me so I was chugging milk throughout it but I still highly recommend.

Excellent hot chicken. Newly opened in Rice Village. Staff is very friendly and best part is that it is halal!
