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.

Their chicken is tender , my kids love it. All locations are nice and one in Union city has ample parking and nearby biz that you can utilize. The staff is friendly and I love their patios seating a lot. I am not a fan of fast food in general but their chicken tastes real and yummy. I wouldn't date anything beyond lite mild. Not much options for veggies or fruits. Their sauce is dangerously delish ! But I don't indulge much in it. I am often there because of my kids.

first time i went wasn't good and I actually thought that this chicken chain was bad. But my friends invited me and i thought to try it again and it was sooo worth it. The chicken is so flavorful and the fries are crispy! Great!

I've not had a single bad experience at Dave's after ordering for the better part of a year now. The chicken is great, the sauce is great, and so are the shakes. Love extra hot :)

They have very solid hot chicken sandwiches for a franchise. I got the #4 combo, which includes a slider (I got the extra hot) and fries. I also got a mac and cheese on the side. The spice level was enjoyable for me. I think I could've gone a level up if I really wanted a little more kick. Chicken was big and juicy, fries were well seasoned, and the mac and cheese was standard. They don't charge for their house sauce, which is a plus! Their house sauce was also good, but nothing out of this world. Definitely one of the bette... read more

Completely forgot to take a picture. FAIL! Either way, 4.5 out of 5 Wife wanted to come here since we were at Lowe's and wanted to try this joint. We got two sliders (Hot) + fries. The seating situation wasn't too bad. Plenty of seats, plus some seating outside, so technically you can bring your dog with you. It was also bright and clean inside. The wait was average, can't complain. Staff was friendly and understanding when I didn't read the menu right and had to change which combo I wanted. Got home to devour it. Was ... read more

I was pretty skeptical it's going to be as boring and bland as Raising Canes but I was pleasantly surprised. The seasoning is kind of Cajun spice and I can taste and smell the cumin. It doesn't bother me, I love it! The kale slaw is good as well, should have ordered extra. Even the chicken bites are juicy and tender, my son loves those. We are going back definitely

This is my first time eating at Dave's hot chicken and the chicken was amazing! I wanted to personally thank the manager for coming out and speaking with us. I ended up ordering the mild sliders with cheese, and my wife ended up ordering one slider and one tender. The chicken is juicy, the spice was just right. The fries are amazing and the bread is out of this world!
