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.

Happy to see Dave's Hot in the Tri-Valley area! This was my first time trying their food after hearing so many raves about it. They definitely have a pretty solid chicken sandwich. I ordered the #2, 2 sliders w/ fries to share and it was the perfect amount for 2. I treaded lightly and got a mild slider, though I definitely think and wish that I had gotten either medium or hot since it was a lot more mild than I was expecting lol. They're generous with the amount of pickles they give so if you're a pickle lover - this place ... read more

The owner started this company with $900, and a fryer in a parking lot. The sliders and fries were very well prepared with an excellent sauce. The delivery of the food to the table was very fast.

Wow, I remember these folks over my old neighborhood in Socal, Los Feliz around East Hollywood in the parking lot. Glad their business reaching out here in NorCal. Gotta say the original was better. Just waiting on Fatburger...

1. Spice Level: Like a Firework Show in Your Mouth - Dave's Hot Chicken in Dublin CA isn't just spicy, it's like hosting a Fourth of July party on your tastebuds. There's an explosion of flavors, and the only thing missing is a marching band playing in the background. 2. Chicken: Crispier than Your Favorite Jeans- The chicken here is so crispy, it could give your freshly-starched jeans a run for their money. It's like they took the concept of 'crisp' and turned it up to eleven. 3. Sides: A Delicious Plot Twist- Just when... read more

Tonight I ordered the Dave's #2 2 Sliders w/ Fries, I ordered ahead on the Dave's Hot Chicken App! It said my food would be ready in 10 mins. I arrived right on time and the food was already ready and packaged up to me! Super easy to pick up, the guy was nice and quickly gave me my order! Definitely make sure to use the app because you can earn "frequent frier" points with each purchase and you can redeem for freebies once you reach a certain amount of points! Dave's Hot Chicken is great I first started going to it when I u... read more

Happy that I no longer have to drive to union city for Dave's. The line was longer when it first opened but it's pretty reasonable now. You can also order ahead of time for pick up. I love their fried chicken sandwich. The chicken is crunchy, juicy, and goes well with the Dave's sauce. I like to drizzle honey on a few bites here and there for a sweet and salty taste. Their fries is fluffy and medium crispy. Ambiance is bright and casual with both in and outdoor seatings. Overall, a convenient place to grab a quick yummy m... read more

For me, it's not my thing. Just personal preference, because everyone around us seemed to be enjoying themselves. Be prepared though, because for some reason, this chain attracts mostly young kids (think high school/early college). Equals high energy high noise and a lot of "bro" this "bro" that. I warned you. Anyhoo, my little ones got the no spice and I got the medium spice. First off, I got the combo of slider/strip. These pieces were absolutely huge. Which explains the high prices. So I guess in a way, you're getting yo... read more
