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.

Love!!! Stop reading and just order! Seriously you'll enjoy this place. The vibe was bright, urban, and artsy. The menu is simple... just chicken. You choose the level of "hot". I got the single slider with cheese fries for lunch. It was plenty for me. I happened to order the medium heat which was pleasant. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. Seating was minimal but there was some tables outside. I will definitely visit again.

The art work was bright and appealing. You immediately start smelling the chicken when you enter, it was busy so that was a great first impression. Ordered the tenders and cheese fries. Chicken tenders was everything. Big, juicy, and flavorful. Got the medium and it was just the right amount of spice (mild lip tingling) plus actual flavor. As some as I touched it and saw the season reside I thought dang this would be good as a chip flavor. The cheese fries were good too but star was just that. The Dave sauce was slightly... read more

I really like this place. There isn't much I can add. I could give them a 5 stars but for some reason, these hot chicken sandwiches haven't called me back. So, if I am not infatuated with the Nashville Hot, then I guess it is a 4 stars. I've ordered here a few times though, but the love is gone. When I have visited, I have ordered online and showed up to pick my food. It's a good process, sometimes I've waited, sometimes everything was ready. It's good, and worth your time and money.

I'm a huge fan of the Nashville style hot chicken, so when Dave's Hot Chicken opened up in Waterford Lakes, I was excited to try it. I have also been to most of the hot chicken places up in Nashville, Tennessee, so I am definitely a hard judge. I am going to try and judge it in regards to the fact that I'm in Orlando, Florida and not Nashville, Tennessee. Orlando now has at least three hot chicken places. I know of the three places, there might be more. Dave's Hot Chicken is definitely the closest one to my house. Dave's ... read more

Taste: (10/10) The chicken crust is flavorful and the meat itself is moist. Once you bite into it, the juices from the chicken and the flavor from the crust mixes together well. Appearance: (10/10) refer to photo! Value: (10/10) this meal was 13.08 (including tax) General Comment: I took a chance coming here. I did not know this place existed. I'm happy I came in! This food did not disappoint and I intend on coming here again! The fries are good too! Give this one a shot!

Finally got to try one if the best chicken sandwiches in the USA. I ordered the mild since I have terrible spice tolerance and the mild was so flavorful yet not spicy at all which I enjoyed. When I took a bite, the juiciness of the chicken squirted out of my mouth, i was surprised not only because of how warm the chicken was but how juicy it was. They have a range of spice levels from none to reaper. You gave a choice to have pickles, cheese, coleslaw, and their sauce in the slider. I would definitely recommend and can't wai... read more
