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.

In March 2023, Dave's Hot Chicken came to Oceanside California. Although 2 years have passed, here is my review on this popular spicy chicken chain that has people clucking. Dave's Hot Chicken is a popular chain that specializes in Nashville-style spicy chicken and their Mac n' Cheese. I will never forget the line of people that wrapped around the corner of the building on the opening day of this trendy establishment. I believe they were giving away free chicken. Dave's Hot Chicken is conveniently located on Oceanside ... read more

Appreciate the thoughtful review, Kareem! Love that you took in the full experience—from the opening day hype to the mural and vibe inside. Sounds like you gave the food a fair shot, and we’re glad you enjoyed the flavors. Hope to see you back again, maybe for another round with a little spice this time!
I love Dave's Hot Chicken! I'm vegetarian and they have a cauliflower sandwich and it's amazing! I love how you can pick your spice and their fries are so good with the seasoning they put on them.

Appreciate the love, Rebecca! Glad you’re a fan of the cauliflower —it was a solid option. Unfortunately, it’s no longer on the menu, but we’re happy you got to enjoy it while it was here. Hope to see you back for those seasoned fries!

Well there are soooo many hot chicken spots these days. Where did they all come from? Tennessee or some sh!t like that, I don't know. But I can say as they are all similar they are all pretty good. Can't really tell if one is better than the other but maybe Dave's Hot Chicken gets the win by an inch. What I can say is, I do like this style of chicken place and the tenders are, well tender. I stay on the cooler side and stick to mild for the flavor and maybe pick it up to a medium. I think hot can be too hot and not that enjo... read more
