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 went by for free slider day and wasn't disappointed. I got the free slider (quite large as far as tiny sandwiches go) made "light heat". It was a notch above mild and had enough heat for me; although I often try the full heat too. The piece of thick chicken was as big as any very large chicken tender. Meaty and somewhat juicy, it was good. The pickles added to the flavor but were a bit mushy. The brioche bun was great but didn't hold together the whole time I was eating. There was another sauce on the bun that seemed to b... read more

It was good, but they put a ton of seasoning on the chicken. You might really like that but it wasn't my favorite. Overall a really good experience though.

Don't walk to this place, RUN! Compliment to the chef. My wife and I ordered #3 to try the sliders and the strips. It was out of this world. The slider was juicy. Full of flavor. Spicy as we liked the hot sauce. The bun was soft and buttery. Loved the fries and the pickles. The chicken strip was large well cooked and quite tasty. Don't miss this spot. Its the real spot for fried and hit chicken. These three guys did their homework before opening. Hooray! Will be back soon.
Dave's hot chicken. It is exactly what it sounds like, spicy and hot chicken. The food is amazing and the unique restaurant style is amazing. The service is good, they serve it fast and the different choices of spice is nice. When you walk into the restaurant, it is already a good vibe, the art on the walls is very eye-catching. Also, their fries are very good, especially with the fry sauce. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, just be warned some of the food is spicy.

The service and food were both good. That being said pop-eyes chicken is better in my opinion. Dave's chicken has a whole lot of seasoning on it, a bit too much if you ask me. I had a hot tender and a very hot tender and I would say they are on point for a heat rating. The Meridian location drive thru is a little bit tough getting through with a truck, I'd recommend large trucks just taking the time to go inside

I can't say I was overly impressed. The service was quick and friendly. The chicken was fine but I guess for the price I was expecting something amazing. It wasn't amazing but it was good.

We ate at Daves for the 1st time in Meridian, ID on Eagle near Lowes. We both love a good nashville hot chicken sandwich. We ordered a Daves # 2, 2 sliders, and fries and a single slider with a soda. We odered hot spice level on all sandwiches. We were thrown by the term slider, so we added the single in case we were still hungry, not understanding the size of the sandwich. We had no wait went on a Thursday around 1130am. Wow.. the flavor profile is on point. The bun is a potato bun, a soft and great vehicle for the bird... read more

Wow! Thanks for such a detailed review, I could taste it as I read it! We are so glad that you enjoyed your meal and we hope you come back again soon!
Hot Slider and tenders. Hot enough that a waiver has to be signed. But a little spendy for what you get.
The boys in Blue Öyster Cult had it down right when they said Don't Fear the Reaper. At least where Dave's Carolina Reaper slider is concerned. I thought heat had finally met its match when I read a news story saying Dave's made customers sign a liability waiver when ordering a sandwich or chicken tender including Carolina Reaper peppers. "You acknowledge that eating the REAPER can cause you harm, including, but not limited to, bodily injury, property damage, emotional distress, or even death," the waiver reads, according ... read more
