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.

First time here, and the costumer service was great. Our cashier Maria was really friendly. Food was good. The Mac & cheese is a must try. The restaurant was clean. They have inside and outside seating.

I know Dave's is a franchise, but this was our first time trying it! It was seriously delicious! They had plenty of heat options to choose from for the chicken. The fries were so crispy and soft on the inside. And I really liked the Dave sauce. The service was also amazing. We went really late at night yet the workers were still happy and cheerful. The restaurant itself is customized to Visalia, which is also a nice touch .

The chicken sandwich that I ordered was very good, and the fries were hot and fresh. The service was ok, but not top tier. The dinning area was small and the plastic tables and chairs were ok. The inside dinning area was very crowed with many people waiting on pick up orders. There was outdoor seating available for warmer days.

Dave's Hot Chicken is my go to Nashville Hot Chicken spot when I am in LA. I was excited to hear about them coming to the Central Valley, and in Visalia!

The vibes, and ambiance of the restaurant was just as cool as I expected it to be. The service was great considering how packed it was on a Friday afternoon. Will be coming here frequently. Highly recommen... read more

As an advocate for hot chicken, I was really excited to try this place. Looking for something spicy I ordered a number 3 with the reaper spice level. The chicken lived up to the hype and was very spicy as hoped for! The one knock I do have on this place is the wait time. I came into the restaurant at 5:30 pm and did not leave until about 7:00 pm. Despite the slow service, the employees were very nice. Although I would not wish this wait time on my worst enemy, I do plan on coming back in hopes that the wait is quicker becaus... read more
