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 fries are not bad but they are super super salty. The chicken is NOT hot. And I know hot. The first time I got hot and it didn't taste hot. The second I got extra hot and I felt a kick but i didn't even have to reach for my water. I've eaten food way hotter before. I have better sliced bread at home than the ones they served. So dry and didn't add to anything at all. You also get no cole slaw with the tenders.. I kept getting the Instagram ad of the grand opening so I decided to go. There's another GREAT hot chicken spo... read more

I have been eyeing Dave's hot chicken for the last couple weeks and finally I decided to give it a shot! It wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon, we were able to order our food immediately. My husband and I shared the #3, I got the extra hot tender and he got the lite mild slider. The food came out in a timely manner and we got it to go. There is ketchup and honey packets if you like. The crinkle fries were crispy outside and seasoned well. My tender was HOT, good flavor, a little crispy exterior, but not totally unbearab... read more

Halal hot chicken brought me in. Good quality chicken, will come back. Attached meal was quite filling. I got the "spicy" level, will try the one immediately lower (personal preference). Slaw is good, personal preference is to have it served on the side. Will come back.

Hands down the best chicken place in Orlando/Oviedo area! Perfect LA style chicken with large heat scale variety, and only gives you 3 options to chose from on their menu so really what else more is needed to be said!?

A fine addition to the food scene here in Waterford Lakes Town Center. I loved everything about this place, especially the vibes here and the story of how they got started. As soon as I walked into the new restaurant, the place was almost packed to the tee which shows us how popular this restaurant really is. And keep in mind that they've only been open for 3 days to. For my food, I ordered a single chicken slider with a side of fries for myself while my mother had the two tender meal with no sides. She loved her lite mild t... read more

Talk about popular. This place seemed as if it was having its grand opening. I'm guessing it's crowded most nights around dinner time, but this seemed a bit overwhelming at first. One issue, there are two entrances. One in front and one on the side. This is fine and ultimately convenient in a lot of ways. The problem, however, is no noticeable sign saying "order here" or "line begins here". When we walked in, there was a ton of people waiting for their food and it was confusing because at first we didn't know if they were ... read more

Upon entering it was pretty busy for 3pm! Thankfully it was the tail end of a rush so the food came out quickly and we got a table despite the extremely limited seating. If we had to sit outside I would've died bc it was so hot !!! I ordered the tenders and fries and side of Mac and cheese. Honestly was pretty disappointed in the Mac n cheese ... the flavor was mild but I was looking forward to a supperrrr cheesy one. The chicken was amazing in my opinion. Some people complaining about lack of flavor but I loved it. The ... read more

My son wanted to try Dave's hot chicken because he is a huge fan of hot chicken. So we went over to the Waterford area to try some Dave's. We went in around 4p so there was not a big line when we got in. I ordered the 2pc tenders light mild and my son ordered the mild tender and slider. We ordered our food to go. The wait was about 20 mins for our food. Everything comes with bread and pickles. Our meals came with fries as well. I thought the chicken was pretty good. It was all dry rub but the chicken was juicy. I don't eat e... read more
