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.

We decided to try Dave’s Hot Chicken in San Leandro before heading to the brewery next door, and it did not disappoint! We ordered Dave’s #2: 2 Sliders with Fries and added cheese. You can choose your spice level, so we went with one HOT and one EXTRA HOT. Both sliders were delicious, crispy, and packed with flavor. The fries were really tasty too! I think I might go for their Reaper spicy level next time. It’s a great spot for a quick meal and to satisfy your craving for a spicy chicken sandwich.
Wow the sliders here blow my mind. The chicken was super crunchy, and so juicy both at the same time. It's not overly flavorful albeit salty, and that is why the Dave's sauce which has a hit of honey mustard aoli, plus a drizzle of honey really balances out each bite. Wow, wow, wow my mind was blown. The crinkles are nice and well seasoned and crunchy! Something that gets missed on crinkles. The Mac and cheese- is okay at best with a very light cheese flavor. I wish it was a bit more thick in consistency and had a bold chees... read more
Was in the mood for some spicy chicken. I never been to a Dave’s Chix before so I was excited to try their spiciest level. I got the second to the super hot (reaper) and the reaper. I’ll tell you, the reaper is harsh lol thus signing the waiver, but over time I got accustomed to the heat. If you eat spicy food on a high level, the reaper can be tolerable, just take your time eating and eat it along with the bread and sauce. I will say going to the bathroom was a bit cruel lol. All in all, I see myself coming back if I’m near... read more
Wow this place is amazing!!!! Every slider is packed with a flavorful punch!!! Be warned the levels of spiciness range from low to extreme. I respect Dave’s Hot Chicken for keeping their menu affordable to the community, thank you for that. The sliders are cooked to order, very juicy, flavorful and HUGE! If you are not adding honey to your slider you are eating it wrong!!!! Eat the slider with honey folks, you will experience a powerful majestic energy within your mouth as you devour the monstrous slider. Love this place!!! ... read more
I recently visited Dave's Hot Chicken in San Leandro, California, and ordered the chicken with coleslaw and mac and cheese. Overall, the experience was satisfying, though there were a few points that could improve the meal. The chicken was as can be expected— slightly juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, well-seasoned coating. The heat level was on point, delivering a spicy kick without overwhelming the chicken's natural flavor. I always get the two tender combos One that is hot in the other at reaper spice level.... read more
