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.

Love the chicken. Always so juicy and spice is on point. Big parking lot. Wish they had more seating inside though.
Great spot for lunch! I've ordered here a few times and each time the chicken is juicy and flavorful. The medium isn't too spicy which I appreciate since I can't handle too much spice. I love the pickles on the side and the fries were crispy.
If you're chasing heat and flavor, Dave's Hot Chicken in Wayne absolutely delivers! We went bold and ordered Dave's #3 (1 tender + 1 slider with fries) at Reaper spice level, plus mini sliders, fries, and a Coke to balance the fire. And yep you actually have to sign a waiver to try the Reaper. That alone should tell you what kind of heat you're dealing with. The chicken? Insanely good. Juicy inside, crispy outside, and that Reaper spice hits like a truck in a delicious, tear-inducing way. The slider was loaded and flavor... read more
Manager was very hospital and came and asked every table how everything was and if we needed anything. Love that the chicken is halal and we can find daves literally anywhere we travel. This specific spot is great with customer service so we keep going back. Excellent food btw! The sliders and tenders are both very good.

5 stars back to you for being an amazing guest! Thanks for the love and see you next time!
Dave's is located on the corner of Rt.23 S. And Willowbrook Boulevard. It was my first time there on Tuesday 4-29-25 about 3:30pm. I ordered Dave's # 4 Slider Sandwich for $11.00. I ordered an Orange Cream Slushy for $5.70. So I waited for about 10 Minutes. (Other people had phoned in their orders and came in and picked them up.) I got my order, the Sandwich Bun was good and it had a Nice Big juicy piece of Chicken on it!!!! The French Fries were good as well. I would say Dave's is A Little bit better than Chic Fillet becau... read more

I had it for the first time at our NYC trip and I thought I start of with 1 Sandwich extra hot and 1 the level below it was grant the 2nd time now I had the reaper and by god it brought me to my limit but I loved every bite of it best burger ever
Wayne, NJ - simple, laser focused menu, and aren't those usually the best? If you're looking for anything other than chicken tenders, move along. But I'm here for one thing and one thing only, Nashville hot chicken! The spice level varies from "no spice" to "reaper," and though I didn't find the reaper to live up to its pepper's namesake (to me more like a medium), the chicken tenders/sandwiches are quite delicious and flavorful. While I'm not running to come back, the food is perfectly solid. The tenders come with a s... read more

Placed our order online for pick up, orders were supposed to be ready by a set time and were ready about 30 mins after original time. The store was extremely crowded with not enough seating for everyone. We had to wait for a table to finish eating so that we can sit down and also enjoy our meal. I ordered the #4 replaced the fries with Mac and cheese and that's were I made the mistake. The mag and cheese wasn't all that good but I added it to each bite of the sandwich as well as honey and the spread and it elevated the flavo... read more
