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.

I've always heard about Dave's Hot Chicken and it's surprising to see one open up in Bay Ridge. I'm not complaining though because at least I don't have to go all the way to downtown Brooklyn or Manhattan for it. I ordered a slider at the mild level because I didn't know what to expect. It was honestly not spicy at all - I would think it's the no spice level if I wasn't aware. My brother ordered the extra hot level and now THAT was spicy for me. My comfort zone is probably around the medium and hot levels. Either way, mild ... read more

Came here afterwork on a weekday, the place wasn't too busy, ordered a #3 (1 tender, 1 slider, with fries, it also comes with coleslaw and pickles) and a side of Mac and cheese. Nice decor with graffitied wall. I ordered my chicken in Hot level spice since it's my first time eating from here, did not know what to expect, and I generally eat things a bit on the spicy side. I was pretty impressed! the chicken was not dry at all, very tender, and flavorful. Also, the hot level spice definitely has a nice kick, and was perfect f... read more

Ordered for pickup via their own app and DoorDash multiple times. Sometimes it was not made at the time I requested for pickup so the bun was soggy by the time I picked up. The hot is not spicy enough, the extra hot is a little too hot but really good anyways, the reaper is no joke, extreme and I had to chug some milk! The chicken is flavorful and juicy while fries are nice and lightly crisp on the outside and potatoey on the inside, just how I love my fries. The service is nice and quick as soon as I get there to within 5 m... read more

Shirley took my order and she was super nice. Above and beyond what I'd typically expect at a fast food joint. food was a solid 4/5. got the slider hot and fries and they were great. as a spicy lover the hot was a decent amount of spice, not painful but enjoyable. the vibes inside are nice too. clean and hip decor with 80s music. i recommend if you want your hot chicken fix!

Ordered takeout, just got the 2 tender combo. The flavor wasn't bad but felt more salty rather than spicy. By the time I got to the second tender I had already finish a whole cup of water. The fries were good though.

While walking and talking on the phone, I mentioned to my partner "I've never heard of Dave's Hot Chicken." A random but sweet lady said "That place is really good!" Her enthusiasm made me break my diet to give it a try. Upon entering, I was greeted with a smile and Malinda stated "I will be with you in a second." She was very kind and had a warm demeanor. I ordered a slider and fries. I was so thankful she asked if I want the slaw on the side as I didn't know it came on the sandwich. The sandwich was fresh and my fries wer... read more
