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

chicken is juicy, skin is crispy. the fries were IMMACULATE, would go again when i get my paycheck. also i love the variety of spice levels.
Well.. after waiting for the initial wave of new opening to blow over, I finally go to Dave's to give this Hot chicken a try. The Newton location was easy to find and parking at the location is busy. Since this was my first visit I figured I'd rate them on my hot and spicy scale. Ordered the number 1 with two tenders and added a extra tender. I also put in a order for a number 2 with two chicken sliders. Both with the Hot spice. My impressions were that the chicken was really good. The dry spices are simply great. No ... read more
3.5 stars? I got 1 x Dave's #1: 2 Tenders w/ Fries (1 x $11.99) = $11.99 Extra Hot 1 x Dave's #2: 2 Sliders w/ Fries (1 x $13.99) = $13.99 Hot SUBTOTAL $25.98 TAX $1.81 TOTAL $27.79 The extra hot was definitely spicy and I had to drink lots of water. The sauce also helped with easing the spiciness. For $30 for two, it was a decent meal and very filling. I cannot decide between 3 or 4 stars because the food was definitely good. It was just a little bit more than one meal but not enough to save as a leftover for the next me... read more
Decent/good place for chicken! I was very happy when I saw Dave's open on one of my favorite plazas, and I was happy to try it out. I ordered the Dave's #1 with medium spice level. The quality of the food was very good, and the chicken was prepared perfectly (no rough spots at all)- it was very juicy and tender. The fries were crinkle cut, and had a tasty bit of seasoning on them. The meal also came with pickles, which is always a plus. The food was good, very filling. I couldn't finish the meal. The service was decent, i ha... read more
The food was delicious. I got the sliders and I thought they were gonna be these tiny little chicken sandwiches. I ate one for lunch and had the other one later in the day. I'll be returning again
I used Uber eats for my order. I ordered 2 tenders w/ fries and 2 sliders w/ fries. I replaced both fries with Mac and cheese at no cost since fries don't usually sit well for deliveries. The mac and cheese was decent, on par with Popeyes and kfc so nothing special. The tenders come with slices of bread. I got the hot and reaper for the tender order, extra hot and reaper for the slider order. I enjoy how each tender is a different color depending on the heat level ordered. The extra hot was my favorite based on the flavor... read more
I wanted to try this place for so long now since I saw it on Instagram. Finally took the time out to make the drive and go. It was well worth it! The menu is pretty basic and simple. There's three combos to choose from. I got the combo 3 which comes with a sandwich, tender, and fries. I opted to get the hot only because I actually wanted to enjoy the sandwich. The next level up and is extra hot and THE REAPER. Next time I go, I will definitely try the Reaper. (They make you sign a waiver lol). Their Dave's sauce is so damn... read more
Recently filled our chicken craving at Dave's, which has a range of heat levels to choose from! My partner and I ordered the reaper chicken tenders and extra hot chicken sliders, both of which came w fries - TASTE: 4/5 - we love spiciness and we weren't sure how hot this would actually be, but Dave's isn't kidding w the reaper heat! Definitely tingles and I needed to use the Dave's sauce generously to help me get through my chicken tenders. The kale slaw in the extra hot chicken sliders provided a great balance of spice and... read more
Ecstatic to find this location opened when it did. Had been to a couple of the early locations in LA and had no idea it had expanded to new england. Service was fast when I had opportunity to make it around opening time, but cannot speak to weekend conditions. The reaper spice level is as flavorful as I remember. There's a waiver so you know it's good.
