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

DHC is the Bomb! I went with my dad to the Arlington location (6/2/23), and just like the Dallas one (Preston Rd), our meal was hot, fresh, and super delicious. I love DHC!

We love you too! Thanks!

This was my first experience eating here. The prices for two tenders fries and a drink was a little high but overall experience was good. Food was fast and on point. The pickles off set the spice so those were excellent. Not a fan of the fries. It would of helped if the person taking my order asked me had I eaten there before. They could of explained the different seasonings. I will be back.

I ordered a hot slider and a medium slider. Both were good but I recommend the hot slider if you like spice! The sliders were delicious! 

Business response:

Looks yummy! Hope it wasn't too spicy! Thanks for the great review!

First Time at this location and I was impressed. I have been to the original location in Dallas, and I actually liked this one even more. My wife got the tenders, and Me and the kids got the sliders. My daughter got the Reaper, but Extra Hot was all I could handle. The Chocolate shake came in Clutch. Loved the Fries as well. I also got the Mac and Cheese, which I really enjoyed. We got here at lunch, and the place was packed, which is always a good sign. My only complaint was the inside was Freezing! We will definitely be b... read more

Of all the "chicken fast food" places, Dave's is my fave. Not only is the food amazing, it's packed in a very visual way......extra pickles, large pieces of chicken, sauces, and utensils. Service is outstanding and people are friendly. I'm a Door Dasher and people pay for their food to be delivered up to fifteen miles away. It's a hit !!! 

Business response:

At Dave's hot chicken, we like to believe that size matters. We're glad you noticed out big chickens and that you loved them! Thanks for the stellar review! We hope that you come back again soon!

My first time here and just from the parking lot it was dead. It had a few customers but overall it didn't live up to the hype. I got the medium spice level and that's just what it is medium. The girl said the medium was more like a buffalo but I don't agree. The fries were good and seasoned. A little salty though if you ask me. The customer service was decent. The guy low key seemed like he wasn't as interested in his job, but did walk around and check on everyone. I got a # 3 strip and slider with fries. The slider came wi... read more
