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

No words. Just pure amazement. The delicious and juicy chicken sandwiches can satisfy any food craving. Beware of the reaper! It's not for everyone, but it is delicious. Just need a tough stomach! Would highly recommend and will always be back.
Delicious!! Stopped here on a whim for lunch. It was so good! The place was immaculate and the service was fantastic! Please bring to Acton!!! Within 10 minutes of arriving they got slammed but the staff were on top of it! Will have to try the shakes!
Chicken is a 10/10. It's super crispy and the flavor is on point. However the Mac and cheese was a disappointment. The business photos make it look good but what I got was basically soupy cheese sauce with a few noodles. If the texture was better it could be good because I like that they add spice to the cheese sauce.

Hey Alexa, We'd really love a second chance to earn those 2 extra stars. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie
So delicious! We have gone three times since it opened, making the trek from the south end but its worth the ride. Everything is fresh, staff was very friendly and the line moved quickly. My daughter announce that the french fries were the best she's ever had and my husband got the #3 with a side of mac and cheese. Portions were so generous we had it for lunch and dinner the next day. So excited to go back. Katie R South End (rgd)
Worth a try! We got two #3s, one medium and one mild. I didn't really think medium was spicy at all so I might level up next time. The chicken is on the darker crispy side which isn't my preference but it was still tender. If you want the best value, I highly recommend getting #2 instead with the two sliders. I think their sauce has a bit too much mayo and needs some acidity to balance. Their fries however were phenomenal and seasoned well. Also bonus points for their tasty pickles! We also got a Mac and cheese for fun - ... read more
Daves hot chicken in Newton is well run and the food is amazing. I would tell any of my friends to go there because it is one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had.
Hands down the best chicken sandwich I have had. Trumps Chick Fil A any day of the week. The slaw and pickle combination is a game changer! I love that you can chose how spicy it is too. I will never be going anywhere else for a chicken sandwich now that I've had Daves!
Chicken was juicy and not dry. Spice level was pretty accurate. Although i think the reaper one couldve been more spicy I had the reaper and the very hot version. Would come back again
Pretty impressed with Dave's Hot chicken... It's not without it's cons but certainly would go back. First, the staff was so friendly. They seemed to be having fun without it impacting the flow of customers and their job. That's the perfect scenario. They were really nice and cool, and still cranking out orders so quickly. There aren't many menu options at Dave's. You get a choice between 3 combo meals. And they're pretty much variations of the same thing. No matter what, it's 2 meaty tenders. Either it's on a dull s... read more
