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

The chicken is good quality, but I like a variety of sauces and they offer the one sauce (mayo & ketchup) . And it's over priced (one chicken tender slider, one chicken tender on the side and a small boat of fries were $14 - so 2 chicken tenders, 2 slices of bread and a small order of fries. It's fast food. That didn't include the drink. Poor price point. I'd rather have zaxby's for the price (5 chicken tenders, any sauce you want, fries, drink & Texas toast for $13).

I've eaten at multiple Hot Chicken establishments in Nashville and it's fought to choose a favorite. When I see one in other towns I have to try it to get my HC fix. Dave's is "ok", heat level is moderate for the Hot but the sodium level is way to high!

Have you missed me?!? It's been a minute, So first things first, I arrived at Dave's Hot Chicken on a rainy day and it was almost completely empty, with the exception of two other patrons and what seemed like a a million staffers (about 8). I order my food, a number 2 (there are only three options) which consists of 2 sliders and fries. I also ordered an additional side of mac and cheese, because why not. This totaled about 20.00 ---yeah this better be some good chicken I thought. So iI waited, and waited and waited a gra... read more

I was introduced to "hot chicken" a few years back and was excited to see it come to Wilmington. I must say, although it was good, the mild was spicier than I would have liked, so be aware of the spice levels and enjoy in moderation.
I have recently been introduced to hot chicken. The very first place I had was Rocky's Hot Chicken in Asheville NC. That being said I had a very high expectation for Dave's going in. I went just a few days after the opening day. When I arrived, I could see people in line starting at the register going all the way to the entrance of the building. After a little wait, I was able to receive my order of the two strip meal. As a lover of all things spicy, I decided to go with hot. The chicken was cooked perfectly, not dry, not b... read more

Awesome! Thank you Brittany for your review! -Julie
Very long line that went through rather quickly than expected and food was delivered with high quality in taste and customer service.
Just had it last night . I order the Dave #2 the two sliders and fries. They very nice sliders , better then kfc ! I got the light Dave cause by basic boyfriend doesn't like spicy foods and it was enough to split and we was both full . Next time I'll go a level up on the spice . The prices are ok . It was a long line had to wait maybe 20 minutes in the line and then 15 minutes after we order . It's a bunch of young kids working in there .

Spicy chicken has come to wilmington and we have been expecting it. It's a fast food restaurant which means it will be greasy. Since I don't eat much spicy food, I would recommend to start with the mild or the options below. The options above medium are for the spicy lovers and those that like to sweat while eating. The line was long but only because we went on their opening day. We order the sliders and they were huge and we also ordered their Mac and cheese which was AMAZING! Zaxbys would be the closest thing to this chick... read more

We appreciate your review Kimberly! Nice pictures, food looks good! -Julie
The hands down best chicken sandwich in Wilmington. Had the spicy #2. Dave's compared to Chik-Fil-A is like comparing "Mess Hall" to McDonald's. That 3/5 rating someone left is not something you want to go by nor does it exhibit any experience with rating or tasting food if being honest! Although a tad pricey, the sliders (along with mac & cheese) lasted two full meals. Do yourself a favor... if you enjoy a chicken sandwich, give this place a shot!
