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 happened to be in Fontana and stopped by this Dave's hot chicken because I was craving spicy southern fried chicken with that honey glaze. I kept the spice level at a medium, because even though I can handle hot, I'm trying to enjoy my meal. I topped it all off a small order of mac & cheese and some fries on the side. Dave's hot chicken is my go to for fried chicken sandwiches open late. The chicken meat itself is of excellent quality, halal. I really appreciate the customer care and service that I was given at this lo... read more

Much improved from my first visit to a Dave's hot chicken on SD. I stumbled on this location on our way to an appointment at Kaiser. There is outside seating, the inside has a corner window with a view of the traffic. The bathrooms need codes to get into but that's fair these days for a fast food place. The girl at the counter was lovely, she assisted with the menu and we discussed the heat options for myself and my son. We got a combo slider and tender, Dave's bites, an extra tender and a oreo shake. Surprisingly, this wa... read more

So far food has been good and service is typically awesome . Today however, the free drink for checking in on Yelp was held hostage until I "wrote a little something" LOL. Review would've probably been better if not forced into writing it... "Dave's" . Went back in hopes having a better experience. Glad I did. Michelle was very helpful and professional. Thank you Michelle for making my recent experience better.

Staff is polite and patient, also this is a cool spot to hang out at if your in your teens. The food is good, flavor fantastic. Price wise is why I took one star off. Second star due to not serving ranch as a side. Don't get me wrong Dave sauce is good but not great.
