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.

I've been intrigued by Dave's Hot Chicken coming to Dublin. We frequent other businesses nearby but until recently didn't have an opportunity to try Dave's. I have to admit the chicken sandwich space is quite crowded and I haven't found a fast causal chicken sandwich from anywhere that makes me want to come back. The surrounding area has lots of parking. Upon walking in, the menu is vibrant, simple, and easy to read. The staff was super friendly and helpful having self identified as a first timer at Dave's. I settled on med... read more

I love this place! I come here 2 times a week for their tasty slider sandwiches. Unfortunately the tenders aren't so tender. Was very dry and hard. But I'll keep coming back for their sliders and fries.

Just OK, in my opinion. But wildly popular, so maybe my opinion is wrong. Came here for their soft opening and have been back a few times since since it's practically in my back yard. The fries are way too salty, and the milkshakes are pretty lackluster but the chicken itself and the mac and cheese are pretty good and I love the way the store looks inside. All in all, it's worth trying but I wouldn't drive too far for it.

If you have some hot fried chicken cravings, Dave's has your back. Simple straightforward menu - fried chicken slider or tenders with fries. Super delish. Crispy, juicy chicken in your desired level of hotness (hot was perfect for me, super hot was one notch too spicy for me). The white bun is soft and compliments the chicken. Slather it with the Dave's sauce and you are set.

Cool vibe, but the restaurant was really dirty. Fries were bomb, but they mixed up my chicken and gave me the wrong one the rub was intense but not too hot to handle. I liked the Dave's sauce.

Big fan. Very tasty, don't get carried away and order too hot. Planning to become a regular.

I loved the spicy chicken (esp the slider), my wife liked the plain, daughter loved the mac and cheese, and my son wasn't crazy about it. He did like the milkshake, but what kid doesn't like a milkshake. So four stars to balance it out.

One of my brother's favorite spots, this was the Father's Day meal of choice! I selected the 2 slider meal as typically sliders are a few bites. A slider at Dave's is a whole chicken sandwich! I had to take the second one home. Medium was the right choice for the day but I think I will try hot next time! Loved how crispy and fresh the fries were and the seasoning was nice! 

Business response:

Thanks for the love! Hope the dads were happy!

I wanted to try out this new chicken place in town. I ordered the slider + tender + fries combo. The slider chicken was juicy, medium heat, and a winner. I loved the sauce it came with. There wasn't a lot of sauce included though, unfortunately. I noticed that they did sell extra sauce for 25 cents for a ketchup sized packet. The tender was awful. It was so dry that I felt like I was eating cardboard. I may come back again, but just for the slider.

We hope you do come back. We'd really love a second chance to change your mind. If you have a few extra seconds, would you mind connecting with us at https://tellusdirect.com/dhc? -Julie
