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 LOVE this place! Dave's Hot Chicken never disappoints, the food is always fresh, hot, and packed with flavor! The service is on point every time.. super friendly and fast. I recently tried the new Mini Slider Box with fries and let me tell you... my brother ate that dowwnnn. It's the perfect portion and still hits just like the regular sliders. Big love to the San Leandro location, you all keep it consistent and I'll keep coming back! 

Business response:

Love the enthusiasm, Ebony! Regular hot with honey and Dave’s sauce? That’s a winning combo right there. Appreciate you, and can’t wait to have you back for more!

Dave's Hot Chicken not only has the best Cauliflower sliders and burgers than anyone I have tried. The employees were so nice. A wonderful girl named Journey was engaging and keeping busy between customers.The other girl that she was working with was kind and entered in casual conversation. Overall, a great experience with their food and their employees. Great job in training them.

I tried Dave's before and it was too spicy for me. I did not enjoy it. But then I tried the medium heat #3 combo, I really enjoyed it. The tenderness and crispness, really good. Customer service was perfect. She was friendly. Cool graffiti design inside. 

Business response:

Boom! Glad you loved it! Thanks for the awesome review!

First off Quincy was an amazing example of "great customer service " he was very polite and patient with me as, I had my daughter with special needs with me. I personally feel that the "not chicken" should be cheaper out the same price as the chicken. However, it's pretty expensive for FAST FOOD!!! So we ordered the two chicken sliders with small soda. They also have iced tea option if one doesn't want soda. 

Business response:

Having never been to a Dave's Hot Chicken before, I was optimistic. I've heard great things about the chain but didn't think it would be much different than other fast food chicken joints. Now having eaten there, I can say the food is average. It's higher quality than other chicken spots, obviously KFC, Popeyes, but I found it around the same realm as Chick-filet-A. A different standard of average but overall nothing special. What was somewhat annoying was at this location my wife and I had no idea it was extra to add ch... read more

The manager and cashier were extremely friendly and welcoming. They greeted hs when we came in and were soeedy with the food. We got a few sliders and fries. Everything was crispy and fresh. As we were leaving, they also gave us a friendly salutation and surely know how to have a high energy environment.

First time visiting Dave's Hot Chicken. My wife and I are seniors and were confused with menu and what to order. Jessica took her time explaining each option and different items. Our order was received exactly as ordered. The chicken was also very good, juicy, and still warm when we got it home. Just want to point out that this place was clean, and other team members were taking care of other customers who didn't require our extra attention. Thanks for being patient with us boomers!
