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.

This place is located in downtown Oakland and it's only been there for a little over 2 months. I got the 2 sliders with one medium and the other spicy and cheese fries. The meal was SO good. I'm really picky about hot chicken sandwiches and I was very pleased. It's not saucy, it's more of a dry rub that has a special sauce topping. The pickles were crunchy and crisp and the fries were hot and crispy. The fries remind me of zaxbys fries but thinner. The slaw in the sandwich added a fresh element. I highly recommend coming her... read more
Went on an interesting day where Oakland was having a marathon. Found some street parking a block away. Ordered #2 and a side slider. I didn't realize the #2 was sliders, thought they were just tenders lol. The cashier was kind, efficient, and detailed! Got my order within 10 mins. Got it as takeout. The sliders was saltier side but with the sauce it covered the saltiness of it. Fries were ok maybe if I eat it fresher it would have been more crispy. Overall, I think is a good place if you are craving hot chicken.
If you like spicy chicken sandwiches...run! Run even if you don't. It's a smaller size sandwich so if you're hungry, grab two. Bun=perfect Chicken=moist, tender, and crispy on the outside Fries=hot, crispy and delicious The menu is simple. It's busy so everything stays fresh
There was a long line when I came in on a Friday night to order to go, but once my order was placed the food came out quick! I ordered #3 with a hot tender and medium slider. I expected the spice levels to be more intense, so I'll probably go with both hot next time, but the flavor was still really tasty. I recommend asking for honey and dipping/drizzling it on your chicken along with the Dave's sauce. It's sooo good. The employees working were also very nice and friendly. Overall great experience and will definitely ... read more
So finally got to try Dave's! It was an ugly rainy day in Oakland and this lunch definitely added a little joy and brightness to my day . So the slider! I did mild with cheese! Hella good lots of pickles would've like Mayo on and a bigger bun but it was so amazing tender juicy with a nice crunch . The fries hit and the dipping sauce was amazing ( even tho the portion was small ) maybe u have to ask for extra. Overall the customer service was great , it was clean and the food was great!
"Dave's Hot Chicken" is serving up spicy tender chicken sandwiches in downtown Oakland. Are you still eating boring chicken sandwiches? Well, maybe it's time to try tender fried chicken with your choice of spicy heat level. The menu is pretty simple, and the prices are fair. I ordered the "1 Slider w/ Fries" and a chocolate milkshake. I asked for a medium heat level. 1- Chicken Slider, Medium Heat, Grade (5/5). Delicious chicken sandwich. Juicy and tender, easy to eat. The sandwich had the slaw, sauce, and crunchy pic... read more
We placed an order online and it was ready for pick up as soon as we got there about 20 minutes later. I def. thought the price was worth it for the amount of food. the sliders are huge. I could only eat about one before getting full. They must use breast meat for their tenders and they are huge. The chicken is flavorful. Even though it's fried,bit still tastes fresh. I got the hit and very hot and it had a good amount of spice to it. Very manageable for me, but I love spicy food. The fries were average. They had some typ... read more
Was in need of food and something close to work. Ok, check. Enough stars to give it a try, check. So here we go. Menu is simple, nothing major but a choice. Ordered the two sliders with fries off their site. Pickup time 10 mins so waited 13 before I walked over there. Line was make long so I'm thinking my food ain't gonna be ready. Once I got employee to help he grabbed my order had me sign and I was on my way. Sat down in office and looked at the food and was impressed. Fries nicely seasoned and cooked well. The sliders w... read more
Apparently chicken, specifically spicy chicken and Oakland are synonymous. Be it Korean spicy, Nashville hot, Cajun, buffalo and Jamaican. Be it breast, thighs waaangs drumettes flats or the whole bird. One new edition to DT oak town is Dave's which is a substantial chain in the west enters the chicken mob. This place still newish is clean bright and simple enough not to overwhelm you with choices. The stand out however is the friendly crew who welcome you warmly, and ensure you have a pleasant day and thanks for stopping... read more
