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.

Get the slider! Mild and medium are great. Hot is a little too much sometimes. Try the reaper if you dare (they make you sign a waiver). Bun, chicken, cole slaw, Mac n cheese, pickles and Dave sauce are the best meal.
Very very good. Great fries and the sauce is great to. Love the décor. The staff was totally on top of things with great attitudes.
TBH, never thought I'd say this about a hot chicken place. DELICIOUS. JUICY DELICIOUS. SO. GOOD. Got the Dave #3 MILD - comes with one (huge) chicken tender & one slider, pickles, & fries (upgraded to cheese fries, cheese on the side) for $12.99. Hubs and I shared these and it was perfect. Chicken is cooked so well, crispy and juicy. We also added a side of kale slaw (yum!) and mac & cheese. They give you honey packets, ketchup, and an extra side of Dave's sauce.

Love the hot chicken. Really the only hot chicken place worth around this part of oc.
Okay. Finally tried Dave's hot chicken in mission viejo. It was good all around for sure. 7 levels of spice and I chose medium for my slider meal. Very nicely done for sure. The fries are crinkle variety, which i think are some of the best in the world and they have a nice seasoning that goes on them. The extra sauce they give you on the side is a little sweeter than like a raising canes sauce, but it's good. They put a little bit of coleslaw on the slider. Couple pickles plus they give you a side of pickles as well. Very cl... read more

I've been to other Dave's hot chicken location, but I feel like this was the best one. The chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned. Service was quick and friendly. I love the interior and how each Dave's is unique inside based on the location. I didn't get an upset stomach after eating this either which I've experienced at other locations. Daves is definitely a solid hot chicken spot!
What a fantastic place Dave's hot chicken is truly is the best This place is awesome ray helping was great
Yummy! Medium was a little more spicy than buffalo wings at a pizza joint - for reference!
