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

Service was great! Ambience was nice! Friendly staff! Best of all, I only come here for the burnt chicken!
I have been to Dave's hot chicken before at Fountain valley, but this was my first time coming to this location. Today, I decided to take my boyfriend here since I have always wanted to take him here and never got the chance to. Today, we got the Dave's #2 which consist of 2 sliders w/fries. My boyfriend got the burger with no spice and I got the lite mild. We both thought the burger was delicious, great flavor, and chicken is very smooth, crunchy, and moist. The fries were crunchy, smooth, and easy to bite. The pickles were... read more

Thanks for the fantastic review, Diana! We’re thrilled you and your boyfriend enjoyed your visit—sounds like you nailed your order with the sliders and fries. Glad to hear the pickles were a hit (even if not for him)! It’s awesome to know you appreciated the friendly service and clean atmosphere, too. We’ll be here for your next trip to Anaheim!
Amazing place good food good service Would definitely recommend. The food is halal as well
Business response:
Thanks, Muhammad! We’re so glad you enjoyed the food and service, and we appreciate the recommendation. It’s awesome to hear the halal options were a hit for you—hope to see you again soon!
Update: They resolved it! They did more than resolve things. I was honestly shocked at the sense of urgency and determination that I was met with upon management learning about the debacle that occurred during our previous interaction. I only came back hoping to have had things made right but was accommodated far beyond expectation on both the management and corporate level. I am not sure that I believe in a five star update, but given the effort that I witnessed it is only appropriate to leave just that. Thank you for ever... read more
Business response:
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m so sorry to hear about the frustration and disappointment you faced during your visit. Waiting that long—especially when you arrived early and others were served before you—is absolutely not the experience we want for our guests. We appreciate your understanding of the pressure the team may have been under, but that doesn’t excuse the way things unfolded. It’s disappointing to hear that no effort was made to make it right when you asked for a way to resolve the situation. We’d lo... read more
Fun little dinner spot in Anaheim! This location had plenty of seating available, two self serve kiosk as well as employees available to take your order or answer questions at the counter. We ordered the sliders combo which came with a side of fries with the mild seasoning. And unfortunately they got rid of their cauliflower options which I was excited to try so I got a side of Mac n cheese. For the price I think the sliders combo came with the right amount of food and the tender ratio in the sandwich was perfect! My bo... read more
Business response:
Hello Kailani, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the sliders combo, the crispy fries, and the flavorful Mac n Cheese. It’s great to know you liked the strawberry lemonade slushy as well! We’re sorry to hear about the cauliflower option being gone, but we appreciate your understanding and are glad you still enjoyed the rest of your meal. Your feedback about the slaw and chicken flavor is incredibly helpful, and we’re happy to hear our staff made a positive impression. We hope to se... read more
This place is pretty good. They need to give more French fries tho. Super stingy on the fries. You get a free drink with a yelp check in.
Business response:
Your feedback means a lot to us! We’re so glad you had a great experience and we look forward to serving you again soon.
Good hot chicken! I like the seasoning they put on there. Idk if I would say it's the best but it's pretty good and reasonable.
Business response:
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts! We're glad you enjoyed the hot chicken and our seasoning. It’s great to hear you found it tasty and reasonably priced. We hope to keep delivering that satisfying flavor that keeps you coming back. Looking forward to seeing you again soon, Dave's Hot Chicken Team
Pretty chill spot. Love the cashier how had an honest opinion in regard to the spice levels! Medium is not so spicy lol spicy like chorizo maybe. But very tasty!
Business response:
Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the chill vibe and appreciated our cashier’s honest recommendation on the spice levels. It sounds like Medium was just right for you—just a touch of heat, like chorizo! We’re thrilled you found the food tasty, and we hope to see you again soon to try more.
Love Dave's hot :,) I do wish their spice levels were more consistent. I'll get a medium and it more often than not tastes like a mild. But if it is spicy enough I add honey and it's fire
Business response:
Thank you for the love! We’re glad to hear Dave’s is hitting the spot for you. We appreciate your feedback on the spice levels and will look into keeping them as consistent as possible. Adding honey for that sweet-and-spicy combo is a great idea - it really does take it to the next level! Looking forward to serving you more fire flavors soon, Dave's Hot Chicken Team
