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 guess I do not understand the hype for this restaurant and food. The chicken is spicy, but it's also greasy and overcooked. Sadly, the same is true for the french fries. The place has adequate seating and service is pretty fast. A lot of folks order to go from here.

Cheaper and faster than other chicken sandwiches places I've had and its slowly becoming our favorite in the area. I prefer Hotboys in Walnut Creek, but this place is closer and cheaper so it'll do. Service is quick.

OK let's go for this, the food was exceptional. I asked for the mild because I'm kind of a wuss, but I'll tell you it was fantastic. It was just write the number three is a good sampling of a little bit of everything and you'll really really like it. I'll start at the top and I'll work my way down on the menu. I will be back. It's easy to get to. It's right off the highway, great parking, the service was really really fast. Minh and I sat down. Wow literally the line went out the door and they moved really fast they moved. I... read more

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
