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

Nice juicy and crispy chicken tenders. Pretty spendy at almost $5 per, but I guess we live in a spendier world now. Think a small/medium chicken breast, not a chicken finger. Even the Medium packs some spice, so start there and push your comfort zone from there. They make you sign a waiver to order the Reaper. It's a dry heat that builds to a pretty good level! (YMMV) I have no idea why they give you a slice of white bread with every tender. Just seems weird. Only 2 reasons I can think of, 1) so you can make the juvenile jo... read more

Another great chicken addition to Eugene. The chicken came out crispy and moist with great coverage of their seasoning. I had the extra hot and hot which both tasted excellent. I imagine the extra hot would be hot if your heat tolerance is low, but if you like heat then this is a pretty decent amount of spice. Worth checking out this restaurant especially if you like spicy chicken.

Chicken tender heaven. Seasoning was excellent with a fair amount of heat when ordered medium. Next time I will go a bit hotter but overall, really delicious!!

This place was awesome. Like a step up from Chik Fil A or Popeyes. A bit pricier, but it was worth it. Despite the crowd on opening day, I went with five of my friends and we were seated so fast. Our food was served in a timely manner too. Friendly staff and very filling. I will be back!

I know everyone else loves it, but the chicken are seasoned way too sweet! Too salty too, and their wait time is way too long.

First experience at a Dave's Hot Chicken. After all, this place is growing explosively, locations opening everywhere, so let's see what it's about! My experience with hot chicken is two great places (World Famous Hotboys and Pyre Nashville Hot Chicken)- so I came in expecting much less than either of those. Even with my lower standards the level of failure is still hard to process. First of all, I did understand that there would be a 15-20 minute wait due to staffing issues. I was fine with that after being given the warni... read more

This place is great! Austin (the GM) will fire you for taking a sick day but mask it as job abandonment! He's only 27, but don't be fooled by his "business card" because he totally smokes weed in the walk-in with employees. Definitely eat here if you want juicy chicken and crew members with dead eyes from dealing with his bs.

Went here because my son insisted he wanted to go because it was his birthday and because of the hype. To me I can go without coming here ever. The prices are outrageous and definitely hits the wallet hard if out with the family for small amounts of mediocre food. Not worth the hype.
