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.

A decent fried chicken sandwich place in the busy San Leandro plaza area, it's between the chipotle and the brewery. There's plenty of parking but the parking is always kind of full so you'll either have to park far or wait for someone to leave on the weekends. Should be easier to find parking on the weekdays. You can order ahead for pick up, which is what I did. I can't eat spicy at all so I got the no spice slider with fries. The fries got soggy a lot faster in the take out container than other fast food and take out pla... read more
Chicken is ok. They should rename their business to Dave's Chicken, it isn't as hot as other well known chicken places.
I got the #4 slider and fries. It came with lots of extra pickles. They have speakers outside where you can hear the numbers they call, so you can wait outside for your order. Medium is do able for people who think takis or hot Cheetos is spicy. Mild barely tastes spicy. The slider was pretty good and if you dip it in sauce or honey, it's a whole different thing Stick to the soft drinks/sodas, the milkshake wasn't good. You're better off with an in n out one or McDonald's McFlurry

This location did not disappoint. We tried Dave's Hot Chicken in Oregon because my brother in law recommended me the location and I instantly loved their chicken. I was a amazed to discover that we had a location near our house and was eager to try it but hesitated because of the bad reviews but took my chance, and I am glad I did because my two sliders combo was delicious, I had the hot and medium spicy.
My daughter is a picky eater but she had me write this review because she wanted to give Dave's 5 stars. Cheese fries delicious and chicken tenders with Dave's sauce was a hit!

Picky eaters love Dave's!! We're do glad your kiddo loved it!
A lot of food for the amount you pay, fries were very good, I love that you can select your heat level.
Pretty good, a bit pricey. They place a couple of slices of bread and pickles. Keep in mind the chicken is fried and dry rib is used. Different method, it good. Spices on point.
Fast and friendly service. The meals are well portioned and the fries were very well seasoned. I ordered a single slider. Spice level was hot. It was not bad a bit spicy though. I also ordered mac & cheese and then it was very cheesy. Just how I like it. I love that they are not afraid to give you sauces on the side. The area was very clean and neat. I will definitely return and try a milkshake.
This post is long overdue. Surprisingly, I stayed in SoCal for a little over two years and never gave them a chance. Moved back home and they opened the SL location and thought, why not? Dave's is literally my go to for spicy chicken tenders/sliders. Much much better than World Famous Hotboyz in my opinion due to the flavoring of their chicken and also their sauce.
Dave's Hot Chicken has a 4.7 star rating with 392 reviews.
Dave's Hot Chicken is open now. It will close tomorrow at 12:00 a.m.
