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 went here for the first time 2 days ago and I throughly enjoy my experience. As a fast food place, it was just that. I waited less than 3 minutes for my food and I was not disappointed with what I was served. D Woods was an exceptional cashier/server. All around great service and great food! The hot is... HOT lol

As fast food, it was really fast. As spicy food, it was really spicy. And I really enjoyed the deep fried crispy hot chicken slider. Since pandemic lockdown, I barely went to restaurants and never ordered delivery. So today I tried the delivery and it arrived much faster than I expected. In a word, I'm satisfied. A happy experience.

For the pro-chicken , this is your haven. This fast-casual chicken eatery promotes its "Nashville hot chicken" concept: a mix of seasonings and spices are used to give the food a major spicy flavor. Dave's Hot Chicken main items are hot chicken tenders and sliders with seven spice levels, ranging from "No Spice" to "Reaper." The menu also features fries, cheese fries, kale slaw and mac and cheese as sides. In my first visit to this restaurant, I found the (hot flavor) level alittle strong in spice and salt than my prefere... read more

ever since this place opened it has been the talk of the town so I had to stop in and see what the hype is all about. I ordered the 2 Slider Combo in medium heat and added cheese to my fries. The spice level of the medium heat was the perfect amount of spice for me. The slider overall was good, the meat was juicy and the daves sauce was good. The cheese fries were great to lower some of the spice I got from the sliders. I really enjoyed the food here, I will be back to try hot next just to see how spicy that is.

Nashville Hot Chicken is the new thing to hit Indy. As a "spicier the better" chicken fan, I was thrilled to see Dave's hit our streets. Their food is good and the Indy location is a welcome addition. They serve different levels of spiciness and different versions of the tenders and fries that come standard at most of the hot chicken places. We missed the lines (they have been out the door and down the street) and I was glad for it. I was hungry and wanted my chicken! :) The serving size was very plentiful but it did ... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken did not disappoint. We ended up going here because the place we were originally gonna go to was closed (I didn't know restaurants being closed on Monday's was a thing) anywho, I can't remember if I got the mild level or medium. Whichever it was, I should have definitely gone up a spice level ( I guess that means I'll have to go back). You can pick you level of "heat" for your sandwich. The menu is very simple, chicken tenders, chicken slider sandwiches, or both. The meal comes with fries (which are crink... read more
