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'm always looking for great chicken places so I decided to give Dave's Hot Chicken a try. With that being said, I'm glad I did because it was delicious. Knowing that, I ordered the combo #3 and macaroni and cheese. The combo comes with a tender, fries, and a chicken sandwich. Anyways, I tried the chicken tender and it was great. To explain, the chicken was juicy and crunchy with just the right amount of spice. Next, I tried the crinkle cut fries which were solid. To elaborate, the fries were crispy and seasoned. On the oth... read more

In case you haven't had your fill of fried chicken, Dave's Hot Chicken in Albany offers the Capital Region yet another option. Dave's hails from L.A. When I read that Canadian rapper Drake was so impressed with the recipe that he invested in the company, I wanted to try some myself. I ordered online on a Saturday just before dinnertime. It was hardly an original idea, but I sure was glad that I ordered ahead. When I arrived, there was a long line to place orders. It snaked all the way to the entrance. Fortunately, there's a ... read more

TLDR: elevated chicken sangwich, Cole slaw is too runny. Service was a little slow as there was a large order right ahead of me, looks like they ordered one of everything on the menu. Restaurant was clean. Bathrooms were clean. The decor of the restaurant was pretty cool. Split the double slider with fries with my husband. The fries were nice and hot, seasoned right out the fryer. The Cole slaw must've been sitting in its juices bc it was quite wet and made the rest of the sangwich very soggy. Pickles were also a bit moist... read more
