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.

Yes, like so many other people, I heard about the hype of Dave's Hot Chicken online, but I was very curious, it looked amazing. Was it worth the hype? Yes! Absolutely! We were blown away with how amazing this simple chicken tasted. I love the simple menu concept, chicken, fries, mac and cheese. The chicken was so juicy and crispy, we did not start with anything too spicy, I wanted to see how the chicken tasted before I upped the spice. It was so good. Next time I will get a spicier piece. I liked the crispy crinkle cut fries... read more

YES, have been looking at going to this place for a few months now. Found myself in Troy for the day and stopped by, THIS IS THE WAY! Super happy I tried this out instead of getting shake shack next door ( shake shack is still GREAT ) however Dave's hot chicken was a masterpiece. There's only a few different combo meals you can get, but that's all you need. Food came out QUICK in about 5 minutes, food was hot and **DELICIOUS!!**. Dave's sauce was great, got mild wasn't spicy at all which was perfect for me, mac & cheese was ... read more

All they sell is a chicken sandwich, or the chicken without the sandwich. And its really good. The menu is very basic and simple, with very few choices. Basically, you have a choice of 3 combos: 2 tenders with fries, 2 sliders with fries, or 1 tender and 1 slider with fries. Plus a choice of a few other sides. But you can order the chicken with 7 different heat levels, from no spice to reaper. (not sure I am brave enough to try the reaper). These chicken sliders are delicious! Like freakishly good. Not sure what they ... read more

I used Uber eats and wow the chicken came amazing. Love the dry rub and got the tender and slider combo with Mac n cheese. It was expensive but cost more too being done with Uber eats. The portions are solid and the tenders for both were huge and juicy. Made great leftovers too. Would totally get again

This was a great place to eat! It was my first time eating there and the service was amazing ! It was a little crowded, but they are fast with moving people in and out and you aren't really waiting for that long. Definitely would recommend if you are in that location. I got the Tender Slider Combo

Let's be frank....it's chicken fingers and fries. The menu is only that, and just turned into sandwiches. So don't go in thinking it's a bunch of options or it's made different. No it's chicken fingers and fries. Is it good though? Yep. Now I got the 1 slider and 1 tender not knowing what to expect. The one tender comes on plain white bread, which for some of us who grew up in the hood...Issa nova sandwich lol I got 1 extra hot which was the sandwich. Was it super hot? No. Was it kinda hot? I guess. Not nose running or to... read more

Simple Menu | Expert Execution | Fantastic Value I was lucky enough to visit DHC while I was in Michigan. I can't rave enough about this place - it truly proves that simple food is the best. To some this may not look like a lot of food but omg it was! The chicken is perfectly spiced (you can choose your spice level), toppings were super fresh and I love that they give you sauce and pickles on the side. The cold slaw and pickles paired perfectly on the slider. This is definitely a meal that you need to roll your sleeves up ... read more

This place is pretty good. My family and I recently relocated from SoCal so we have had the pleasure of having Dave's Hot chicken before. This location is pretty decent. If anything, I would just appreciated more consistent chicken size for the sliders (I had the two sliders, one of them was perfect and the other one had a smaller portion of chicken).
