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.

now that we as a nation are on the topic of hot chicken, I did indeed recently finally try daves.... - this place is alllll over my tik tok so I had pretty high hopes for a chain -I got the two piece with one hot and one medium, the hot had the type of kick that burns your lips but it didn't bring it too much to my tastebuds, the medium was not spicy at all but I will give them props for how much seasoning is crispy fried into these boys - the breading had a nice crunch even a few hours later and the chicken wasn't dry even... read more

Really good hot chicken sandwich. I got the combo with the 1 chicken sandwich (I added cheese) and fries. I got medium heat level and it tasted great and not too spicy. Next time I'll try the hot level. Lots of inside seating and service was good.

Best fried chicken I have ever tasted. I tried this first in LA during a business trip. Then especially drive to New York once for it, and was anxiously waiting for the DC location to open. Please open more locations at airports. Can't wait to visit again soon.
Found this on Instagram and I just happened to be driving by on my way to a part time gig. There is a guy standing out front yelling "Dave's Hot Chicken". He deserves a raise for the attention he draws to this place. I decided to stop in mainly because of him. It was around 7pm and the place was EMPTY. I should have known. It took about 15 mins to get my food but everything was piping hot. I ordered the Dave's 2 tenders meal. Instagram 5 stars. Reality, 3 stars. Long chicken breast on a Hawaiian roll. Nothing special.

When I learned about Dave's reaper chicken, my brows perked up and I thought challenge accepted! Stopped by last night to grab it, close to closing. Took longer than anticipated, considering only 3 orders were before me so I can't imagine how long food takes when they're busy. Now, let me start with saying I have a pretty high spice tolerance and have done spicy challenges around the U.S. including a reaper burger (which definitely made me sweat), wings (which I don't remember the pepper but was one of the hottest things I... read more
Our prayers have been answered! Dave's Hot Chicken has finally arrived to DC and oh man it did not disappoint. This chicken is 100% juice and tender certified with the perfect crisp of flavor on it. I did a pick up order for their free slider promo they had going on because of the limited street parking there is. My friend said the service was great despite there being a line for this delicious chicken. From what we can see through the window and what my friend saw, he absolutely loved what the inside looked like and wished ... read more
Such a great addition to Columbia Heights! I ordered from their online website and opted for a slider and tender combo with a side of cheese fries. I also added cheese to my slider. For both the tender and the slider, I went with the lite mild bc I was very afraid of how spicy it would be. It definitely had a kick to it and I'm such a wimp I don't think I could go any higher on the spicy scale haha. The fries were great (love me a crinkle fry)
So good! Got the 1 slider 1 tender boxes, the chicken was so crispy and juicy but the medium wasn't really that spicy at all - will go for hotter next time :)
I went to Dave's hot chicken with a couple of friends for lunch, and I must say "it slaps". I've heard of Dave's before and I've seen images online of all their chicken sandwiches but when I heard that they open up a new location in the DMV area, I was ecstatic. They have a pretty big location in Columbia Heights. Fried chicken quality was awesome and the menus pretty easy to follow. I've personally tried over 30 different Fried Chicken Sandwich spots in the DMV area and I would say this is top-five. Look forward to going ba... read more
