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

not as good as the ones in california if that's what you're looking for, but for what we have here in texas it was decently good, servers were nice too

Taking a trip from Austin back to Dallas stopped here for a quick lunch and it was delicious. It reminds me of how canes used to be with real pieces of big chicken but Dave's hot chicken is even better. I would go here over canes any day I got the strips my son got the sandwich and the sandwich had two huge strips on it more than enough for one person. I got three strips and could only eat two fries crinkle cut seasoned amazing we will be back

I absolutely love the chicken at this place. It is fresh and comes in. Whatever level of hot you would like. You also can get it with no hot. It's also pretty quick for how fresh it is. We will be back soon Dave.

Thanks from Dave himself!

First time trying this restaurant, the food was good and came out quickly. We will definitely be visiting here more. Interior decor is very cool. The staff is friendly. They will make you sign a waiver for the Reaper heat. My husband tried it and said the heat goes away pretty quickly but if you're a fan of spice you'll like it. The menu is limited like In and Out but it's good so we had no problem with that.

The food is absolutely amazing... I can't wait to come back! I personally love the medium but order hot on occasion.

Stopped by here on the way home from my Oklahoma trip. Food was decent. Wanted my chicken to be spicy. Couldn't really taste the heat. Very well seasoned buns and chicken. Fries was okay. I feel like it's a bit pricy for the amount of food and amount of selection on the menu. This location isn't as busy as the ones I've encountered.

I was lucky to spy a Dave's Hit Chicken as I traveled through Waco Tx. I hadn't seen one of their restaurants since I was in Oklahoma City in October. Their food is fantastic. I ordered the Dave's #1 which is 2 chicken tenders (Hot), fries, white bread, dill pickles, and Dave's sauce. Service was quick. The tenders are huge, lightly breaded, and perfectly cooked. They had a great flavor and spice level... Shout out to Stacey and Isaah B. who we're working the front counter and getting the customers through the line quick... read more
