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.

Dave's Hot Chicken is a staple chicken sandwich restaurant chain available in California. I've never had the pleasure to eat at Dave's growing up in Hawaii, and I definitely missed out. I went late (9:00p) on a Friday night, and the store was nice, clean, with plenty of seating available. Our order was prepared quite fast! The #2 (2 Sliders + Fries) and #3 (1 Slider + 1 Tenders + Fries) are both hearty options to satisfy any hungry adult. I would even say getting 2 sliders might be more worth it, as you can eat one and s... read more

The chicken tenders are so amazing they even have spice levels None, Lite Mild, Mild, Medium, Hot, and Reaper. Service is good and they have reward points as a discount for your food. The ambiance is normally average loudness. You should try the food here (They also do chicken burgers and chicken nuggets).

Thank you for the free sandwich promotion! The staff was ready and willing to provide the sandwiches. Ended up getting combo #1 as well and everything was delicious, hot(both heat & taste) and fresh!

I prefer Dave's over the other fried chicken chains because the chicken has more flavor in the coating and the chicken is not dry. We tried medium and hot spice level and liked both. Fries are okay. The service is prompt but you need to ask for the condiments and cutlery if you want any. The only downside for me was this strange smell inside that was like old or rancid oil. We sat and ate outside and totally enjoyed the meal but the smell inside was off for sure. Like the place and food.

I've seen these places all over San Diego and happened be in Temecula charging my EV and saw Dave's Hot Chicken. Now I've always thought, "ok the chicken is hot (temperature hot I was thinking) what could be the big deal? Don't all restaurante sell hot chicken?" So this time I decided to try them. First and Foremost the place was spotless and I was greeted very warmly. Now y'all know me, I gotta comment on the bathrooms. I think a clean bathroom means a clean kitchen and I was right! The bathroom was clean and there ... read more
