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 is always a must when in the Charlotte area. It's a small establishment & stays busy so I rarely eat in. The menu is pretty basic but the chicken is juicy & flavorful & the fries, your run of the mill basic crinkle fries but cooked crispy like I like & seasoned to perfection! Drizzle some honey on your chicken tenders ( you choose your spice level) and thank me later!

As a person who doesn't really like meat, I love anything cauliflower. Dave not chicken has been the best cauliflower menu items I've tried from surrounding restaurants. It's always busy but that's to be expected as the food is just that good.

We definitely enjoyed this chicken spot. The food was fresh and the service was friendly. I was very happy at the quality of the chicken. Everything was really delicious! This location has some really nice art work on the inside and makes you feel like you're sitting in the middle of a graffiti room. It's super cool! Highly recommend! If you want tenders!

Best chicken sandwich in town. Good fries too. I like the four teas in the drink machine.

The food was pretty good, I had the medium flavor and they were flavorful.. they had a hint of sweet to them.. the bits were big in size.. hot and ready!! There was enough for 2 people!! Fries were crispy and have just the right about of seasoning. The Dave's sauce reminded me of maybe thousand island dressing.. went nicely with the chicken!!! Service was good, it took a little time because they were packed.. and I think they cook to order!!! The facility was clean, loved the decor.. restrooms were clean as well!! Will retur... read more

I would like to start by saying the girl at the register taking orders was so nice!!!! It makes a big difference when the staff is polite and welcoming and I truly appreciate her kindness. The dine in area was clean and neat surrounded by art work on the walls. Friends and I came from out of town on a business trip. We truly enjoyed ourselves. I ordered #Dave's #3 2Tender & 1 Slider w/ Fries (lite mild) not very spicy but very well seasoned and made to order. We ordered the cauliflower as well it was delicious.

The best friend chicken I've ever had! The Daves sauce is amazing!! They have 5 different flavors of spice. Lite mild to reaper. So it was my very first time here and I wish they had a little sampler sauce cause i had no idea which one to get. We went with the medium. It was perfect for the family ( I have a 7 year old who does not like spicey food and he enjoyed it) Next time I think ill try the hot. The daves sauce is so good you just smear that sauce all over and yumm yummy. I wish they had more locations closer to me!! W... read more

This is the third time in a year that I've had Dave's Hot Chicken. The first was last summer. I ate inside and think that I had a slider and a tender. It was good. The crowd was...a crowd. It was mid-day and packed, very loud and rowdy clientele...so for the second and third visits, we had delivery. This time, my friends and I had the Hot Box - Tenders. 10 amazingly delicious chicken tenders - 1/2 were hot and the other 1/2 were extra hot. We also had a box of fries. And - for fun - ordered a Single Slider - in reaper - tha... read more
