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.

They have a variety of heat to the chicken. Since I had the mild heat with fries I was very pleased with the meal. As this was my first time there, the counter service was quite helpful. A lot of take out orders.

We have lived in the area for a little over a year and somehow I had not made it to Daves Hot Chicken until now. I am a big fan of Nashville style hot chicken with Hattie Bs and World Famous Hot Boys being my favorites when I am craving spicy chicken, so I was excited to finally give this spot a try. I was not in the mood for chicken that day so I went with the cauliflower slider combo number four at the hot spice level. I actually wanted extra hot but for some reason it was not an option on the app. I have a pretty high he... read more

First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and overall it was fine but didn't wow me. Service was good and friendly, they even asked if I needed extra sauce when I picked up my order, which was nice. The sauce is almost like In N Outs spread and comes in similar packets. My partner got the cauliflower combo with fries and loved it. The app was acting weird tho, we picked extra hot but in the cart it only showed hot. We troubleshooted but no luck. He was still happy with the spice level it came with. I got the new mini sliders a... read more

The food here is always on point!!! Extremely high quality and delicious. Bursting with flavor. Crispy chicken (but juicy inside). The establishment is so clean even the bathrooms. And the service and staff is great. Great place all around 10/10.

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
