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.

I wanted to try this place when I went to SoCal but never got the chance to, so when I heard there was a new location in San Jose, I was excited! The slider combo is a solid meal, you'll get two "sliders" and fries is large enough to share between two people for about $15. The sliders are most certainly not the typical sliders you get at other places. Each slider can pass for a normal sized chicken sandwich. The chicken is juicy and flavorful and hits the spot. You can customize how spicy you want it, medium was fine for me... read more

Dave's Hot Chicken is my new favorite chicken place! A friend introduced me and boy am I grateful! I ordered the single slider with cheese. Level Hot. Plus another single hot chicken tender. They were both sooo good. Spice level was perfect. The slider was so tasty, it was perfectly put together. I even enjoyed the bread. Service was fast and efficient. Very little wait. I was there around 1pm Saturday. Plenty of parking. Casual chicken place. So Good!!

Pretty average, nice quick bite place! Hits the craving for spicy chicken sandwiches if you're in the area. I got HOT for the spice level and it had a kick to it but nothing too intense. It's about less than a spice profile of a jalapeño in my opinion. Def would go higher on the spice scale if you love spicy food! Besides the food, the employee who helped us was sooo nice, checked up on us and even grabbed our tray for us. We didn't catch his name personally but our receipt says Fernando and if that's him he was great!

We got DoorDash from here today and the fries are what brought me here to Yelp to leave a review! They were the BEST fries I've had at Dave's and also in a long time! Cooked and seasoned to perfection! We got a number one combo which was the perfect amount of food. I got hot but could have went hotter The quality was superb! Chicken was juicy and hot when it arrived Their packaging was nice! Better than the black containers at other locations They gave pickles on the side, that was the pickle on the top lol

This is located off Brokaw in the intersection of the plazas. It's a spacious location and has plenty of parking as well. It's very casual and gives me food truck vibes inside if that makes sense lol. This place gets a lot of hype so I wanted to try it out! My Order: 2 sliders w/ Fries (add on Cheese) For the sliders, the size was quite big which is ultimately worth it. You'd be full off of 1 slider and the fries in my opinion, unless you're just super hungry. The order comes out fairly quick as well, fresh and hot. They ... read more

Texas toast... and I got slaw on side and bam .. cheat meal guilty pleasure.

I got the tender/slider w/ cheese combo at hot level and everything was so delicious! I do have to say I think I enjoyed the slider at that level more than I did the tender. They serve the tender on a slice of bread but I think that all of the stuff in the slider helps to temper the heat better than just a slice of bread. Next time, I'll probably order a medium tender and hot slider or maybe just stick to the sliders! The sliders are pretty significant in size, not what you think a slider would be, so just be warned - head i... read more
