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.

Tried Dave's in the city with a friend I wanted to meet up quickly with. Ive heard great things about this joint specifically because they use halal meat and we all know Halal fast food options are few and far between even in a place like New York City. The inside of the shop has ample amount of tables for a quick bite, although I will say the table tops were a little dirty and we had to clean it ourselves before getting seated. The chicken sliders were good, fried well and a generous portion of meat. I really liked the se... read more

The customer service there is stupendous! Absolutely amazing honestly never had a fast food type spot ask me if I enjoyed the food after I was done eating and how I liked the sauce and made sure to tell me to have a great day 10/10 ! It's very clean and neat and I love the artwork in there gives off dope vibes. But on to the actual chicken sandwich it was phenomenal! It's really big so I normally wouldn't be able to finish the whole sandwich but it was so good I couldn't help myself , so crispy crunchy and juicy all at the s... read more

I had heard about the nyc opening a while ago and finally made it down to try it. Since I ordered everything medium spicy, I didn't get to try the famous hotter varieties. But everything was still really good. The chicnen was tender and flavorful. The fries were hot and well-seasoned. The guy handing out the orders was friendly. The one complaint is that one of my orders was wrong, but I should have double-checked the receipt after ordering. The place is tiny and could use some more space considering how popular it is. All i... read more

4.5/5 stars. Really liked my sandwich and the spice level. The fries were good too and the service was quick.

Solid spot for spicy fried chicken. Hot is a decent level of spice if you can handle spicy food.

Arrived mid day on a Sunday. All seats were taken inside but there was no wait for ordering. I ordered the #3 combo - tender, slider and fries (approximately $15 including tax). I figured this would give me a chance to try mild and medium spice levels. It took about 2 minutes for me to get my order. The portion was huge!!! Neither spice level was really that spicy though. It was almost hard to tell the difference between the two. I'd be afraid that hot would then be too spicy. You're given a slice of bread under the tender, ... read more

Amazing meal, I just wish it had more flavor. They're famous for their spices which are NO JOKE. My cousin decided to get the reaper special and boy let me tell you... The spices were so hot he was sweating for 30 minutes straight. I chose to get the mild because my spice tolerance is low. I love the crispiness of the fries, the sauce I did not expect to be so delicious. So it definitely makes up for the flavor. Thr pickles were the icing on the cake as they're my fav. The customer service was shockingly good knowing the cro... read more

First experience with Dave's Hot Chicken, and the staff who took my order were exceptionally friendly. Opted for Dave's #3--1 Tender, 1 Slider, and Fries, mac & cheese --accompanied by an Oreo vanilla shake. The chicken was tender, served with a side of Dave sauce. Quick service; my order took about 5 minutes due to a sparse crowd. The flavor was excellent, though the spiciness seemed a bit overwhelming. Nonetheless, the portion size was generous. Conveniently located near trains and buses. I like how small and simple the me... read more
