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.

This spot is okay for a franchise. I don't really like chicken tenders to begin with but the sauce makes it bearable. This is no Howling Rays but the fried tenders and fries are good with the sweet mayo dip. I got the 2 sliders and fries--this is big enough for 2 meals. I wish the tender sat more fittingly between the buns so it was kind of weird biting one piece of the chicken and another for the bun/slaw side.
Business response:
Appreciate you giving us a shot! Our sliders do pack a punch—big enough for leftovers! Thanks for the feedback on the fit; we’ll keep it in mind.
I had been wanting to try, Dave's Hot Chicken, since they opened up a while ago. I finally had a chance to take the family and give them a go. Dave's, is located at the Target parking lot off of Alicia Parkway. There is a lot of parking available. This little corner has multiple places to dine and from what I can recall, there are only two out of four restaurants here that had outdoor seating. Walking into Dave's, you'll immediately notice the colorful artistic décor, and the huge mural above your head to the right that ... read more
Dave's Hot Chicken is one of my favorite places to get fried chicken! My go-to order is the #3 combo; one slider and one chicken tender, both slightly mild. The chicken was flavorful and juicy, though I found it spicier than expected. The bread served with the tender could have more flavor, but overall, the chicken itself was delicious. I recommend if you're in the mood for some heat!

The stars are for the service, which has been fantastic! However this location is messing up the chicken. I have eaten the most at the Irvine location and it's the one that made me fall in love with Dave's. When I saw they were bringing one to MV I was very excited. Unfortunately, the consistency at this location is hit or miss. They put too much seasoning on the chicken and it dries it out. The Irvine location uses the correct amount of seasoning and their chicken is much more moist while still being very flavorful. Hope... read more

YUM! I absolutely love hot chicken, it's on my top 5 favorites list and Dave's didn't disappoint. I was super glad when they opened a location near me and was ecstatic to try it out! The inside is super cool (design wise) and nods to mission Viejo which i like and the ordering process is easy as a fast casual restaurant! I didn't have to wait too long for my order - the chicken was really good however - i hoped it would be slightly more crispy and would have loved the pickles on it instead of to the side but the fries had t... read more

Seems pretty straightforward-just get chicken tenders and French fries. I love the krinkle cut style fries, dip with sauces and a nice, refreshing drink! I give three stars because they basically serve trash. Nothing at all is reusable, and when you leave the restaurant there's a bunch of DAVES trash and napkins all over the ground outside littering the streets and makes neighboring businesses suffer and looks trashy. Dave's Hot Chicken trash blows into open business doors surrounding and I personally just think it's patheti... read more

Great food but they need to stop serving foam plates they are toxic and the food melts on it when it's hot.
