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

Saw this place on TikTok. Went with some friends to check it out. As soon as you walk in the place is kinda warm but in its defense it was packed inside. Line went fast mostly people ordering to go. Place is not big inside so seating is limited. I Ordered the mild tender basket with fries buddies all ordered medium and hot chicken sandwiches an tender. I was pleased with the size of the tender they were pretty big. The fries were on point hit and crunchy perfectly cooked the tenders had a great flavor not over powering hea... read more

Great chicken tenders. Grabbed the medium flavors, just the right amount of heat for me. And that Dave's sauce is perfect for dipping. I always ask for extra.

Dave's Hot Chicken just opened around the corner from me about a month ago and I couldn't wait to see what all of the excitement was about. The first few weeks was really busy. Cars lined Cooper St trying to place their order in drive thru. On top of that the restaurant appeared packed on the inside. I decided to wait until the fanfare died down and today was the perfect day. On my way home from work I placed a order for the 2 chicken strip meal. It came with fries, pickles, 2 slices of bread, and some dipping sauce. T... read more

I like the concept of Nashville style chicken. However, the price is quite up there. We tried the mild sliders and lite mild chicken tenders. The chicken was very flavorful a little too much for my taste though. The mild level was good. You feel a little quick, but not so much where you constantly need water. Overall, chicken is flavorful, not dry. But, I don't think I'll go back.

Dave's is growing quick, wasn't it last summer they opened their first location in Dallas and people were queuing hours for the chicken!! Now they have multiple locations across DFW and now Arlington got one! We checked it out for dinner today, just as good as other Dave's we've been to in the area. The sliders are where it's at, use the honey they give you too! Great sized tenders, love the buns, lots of pickles. I opt for the cheese fries which remind me of Shake Shack though I think it's a $1.50 to upgrade to cheese fries... read more

The long line caught our attention.. Food was great. I got the medium heat. The prices would probably keep me from returning As Often. If you have a family this place is definitely going to add up quickly. My next visit will probably be solo, wink!

The line is long that's 1st which is be expected with a new place. It did go by quickly! I ordered I think the #12 idk lol it was 1 tender medium and 1 slider mild. I asked for kale slaw instead of fries however, Dave wanted me to try their fries because, I didn't try the slaw not even the slaw that the menu says comes on the slider The tender was huge it wasn't the same tender on the slider and that's fine. They both were good the spice was cute !!! Don't come looking for much you get tenders or sliders the end I wi... read more
