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.

Dave's Hot Chicken is hands down the best spot for halal chicken sliders! The chicken is perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat, and the sliders are packed with flavor in every bite. The quality of the ingredients is top-notch, and the fact that it's halal makes it even better. The service, especially from Josuan, was outstanding—friendly, fast, and attentive. He really made the experience even better! Whether you're a fan of spicy or prefer a milder option, Dave's has something for everyone. Definitely my ... read more

Absolutely love coming here! Best chicken I’ve ever had anywhere and it’s consistently delicious, fresh and tender! I usually order medium spicy and it’s just the right amount of spice. I’ve also tried their reaper level and although it is tolerable, it is not enjoyable to eat since it’s so spicy that you can’t touch the chicken with your hands. Their sauce is the bomb and works so well with the chicken. Service is great and efficient as well!

I ordered Dave’s #3 extra hot, cost was $18 with tax. It was very good, spicy but not too spicy and was very filling. I liked the slider best, and the pickles weren’t too sour and complemented the greasy chicken very well. The tender was good too, but it was very big and took me forever to finish. Overall a great experience.

7/4/2024 Dave's Hot Chicken 118 E El Camino Real Sunnyvale, CA 94087 I went there for dinner on the 4th at about 7:30 PM. It's in the food court at the corner of ECR and SSR, with plenty of parking. The setup is an order counter at one end with pandemic spaced tables inside and patio seating outside. All the music played was nostalgia pop/rock hits from the 70's-90's, no rap or hip-hop, great for me maybe not for the younger set. I ordered the #1 with one strip at the Hot and one at the Extra Hot levels. They announce... read more

Sliders and fries were as usual amazing. The coleslaw needed a little more dressing since it was a bit dry and didn’t seem like a great value for $4.49. It was a clean location and I enjoyed the food. I found it awkward that as soon as I put the tip amount on the screen, the cashier said thank you within a second of me pressing the screen as if she was waiting to see if I was going to tip. Felt a little uncomfortably eager and it made me wonder if my food would have tasted the same if I didn’t tip at this self-service establ... read more
