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 | San Leandro 1. Dave's #3 -- tender & 1 sliders with fries If you haven't heard of Dave's Hot Chicken, it's one of the few fast food spots that specialize in Nashville-style hot chicken. If I remember correctly, they originated in Los Angeles, California, and have expanded ever since. The best way to sample most of the menu is by ordering the #3, which includes a tender, a slider, and fries. The sliders come on a soft potato bun, topped with kale slaw, pickles, and drizzled with Dave's sauce. You als... read more

Our regular Tuesday golf group of eight been talking about coming to give Dave's a try. Yesterday we made it. Hubby found metered street parking across the street. We entered and quickly scanned the limited menu - chicken tenders or chicken sliders. We both ordered #4 - chicken slider with crinkled fries. And we each ordered a milkshake - strawberry for him & chocolate me. Hubby ordered, paid, and receipt issued with order #. Pros: * the milkshakes were thick & creamy *plenty of dill pickles in sandwich & extra s... read more

I would give this a 3-1/2 Star. The Manager and Cashier were very friendly. This is our first time trying this chicken place after a round a golf nearby. Nice clean atmosphere with a couple of eat in tables. The Cashier was describing the sliders with fries to us. He said there are 4 sliders and they were about 2 bites each. We decided to give it a try anyway. He was right on... did not expect it to be that small but we were warned. Asked for crispy fries and can't complain because he described the sliders to the tee! ... read more

Chicken tender really fresh really hot but not burn your tongue hot. The skin is almost as crispy as a chip. Seasoning as usual amazing seasoning, completely lathered in flavor. Moist juicy interior as usual too. Some good tender. I learned my mistake from last time and ordered medium spice. Medium spice still has a lot of flavor. Chicken slider, just as juicy and tender as the tender. Very reminiscent of chik fil a sandwiches but with more seasoning. When ordering, they will ask if u want cheese, its meant ... read more

amazinggg... love the chicken bites. they're consistently good taste and texture- they never have those weird nasty chewy bits. flavor eats every time. the customer service is always so great no matter whose in there, food gets done pretty quick and they don't skimp on the dave's sauce or honey. the wall art gives a chill vibe, super cool super different.
