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. THE JOURNEY After 6 months of running the pop-up with long lines, the team took the plunge and opene... read more

I am a big fan of hot chicken in whatever form I can get it. Dave's is a chain that specializes in hot chicken tenders that you can either get by themselves or on a bun with some slaw and house sauce. I went at just after the lunch rush and with only a couple people in front of me it took over 25 minutes to receive my order which I found pretty high for a fast-casual restaurant. The chicken itself was cooked well and was tender and juicy. The slider portion of my order was a bit disappointing, since they use the same cut... read more

Best chicken sandwich I've ever had perfectly fried crispy on the outside juicy and tender on the inside. Seasoned well. Great quick friendly service. Ordering online was so easy and the place looks great inside!!

Got the hottest chicken in the Carolina's. The flavor was amazing and the heat was a beast that kept coming. The hottest is not for the faint. Super good!

The food is decent. The cashier was really nice. The food comes out fast and the fries are really good. The "Dave's" sauce is good, however if you mix the sauce with honey it makes it even better. This was my second experience at Dave's and I must say it was better than my first. The food is overpriced in my opinion. But if money isn't an issue this is an okay place to eat.

We we're pretty excited to try this place but it wasn't our favorite. The fries and milk shakes were good but the chicken needed more flavor. The restaurant was also not very clean, sticky floors and nothing was restocked. The guy taking our order was very nice though! 

Business response:

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

We always visit Dave's when we visit NC. Food has been great! But not this time. They were short staffed. Orders were rolling out slower. They forgot to add the spice. Very disappointed this time around.
