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.

Moved from LA to Omaha and was excited to try out Dave's hot chicken here. Only thing I can say is the taste is exactly the same. The service was great with very friendly workers. And as far as decor and the place itself it's the same as any other Dave's hot chicken. Very excited to have them in Omaha.

Finally got a chance to try Dave's hot chicken late one weeknight and I was thoroughly impressed! I was afraid it was going to be insanely hot to I downgraded and only got my chicken medium and in the future I will be getting the hot. Their seasoning almost has a little sweetness to it. It's very good! The chicken was very juicy and tender! Next time I will be getting the sandwich though. I was aware the bread that came with the tenders was just plain white bread. Not toasted or anything. Very good pickles and solid fries. T... read more

I unfortunately forgot to take pics of my actual food. I ordered the 2 slider combo. Now just fyi, they use the term slider very loosely. This "slider" was a whole regular sized chicken sandwich. Wasn't nothing slider about it. And I had two of them I'm not sure who was supposed to eat all of that. Lol Service was decent. Everyone was friendly. Sandwiches were really good. I'd definitely try them again

My mom recommended this place so I doordashed it tonight. Can't speak to the atmosphere or restaurant itself but I can speak to the food. I'm pretty nearby so the fries arrived crispy and hot. I ordered the single slider (it's a full sandwich so don't let the name worry you) with cheese fries (cheese extra). I got the Mac and cheese too and an Oreo topped shake. Wow. Every bite was delicious. The shake had Oreo pieces all the way down, the Mac and cheese was just right and the sandwich was crispy and fresh and I especially... read more

It was honestly even better than I expected. The tenders were super moist and juicy and the sauce was a nice compliment to the heat and flavor. Fries could have been hotter but honestly after the tenders I couldn't eat more than a couple. I got hot and was sweating after but it wasn't too hot to be unpleasant. Next time I'd probably go medium. Extra hot and reaper are just a novelty imo. 

Business response:

I have no complaints with this restaurant I originally tried this place for the first time in California and it was amazing so I knew I had to try the Nebraska location. The restaurant was pretty busy but the workers were moving fast after placing my order I sat in the lobby and waited. The lobby was clean and there were plenty of sitting. I also ordered a fountain drink but the fountain drinks I realized after trying 3 different flavors were all flat sodas so I end up just getting some ice water. The food 10/10 amazing tast... read more
