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.

While in Salem in mid-June my son and his girlfriend happened to notice Dave's Hot Chicken while running errands. Of course we had to try it the next day. We ordered our food to go. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. The chicken was still crispy even after a 20 minute drive. We ordered the tender and fries (mild spice level) and the slider and fries (medium spice level). The spice levels were just right. Sometimes you go to restaurants and their spices levels are too spicy for even mild level.
Chicken was good. Customer service was great. And the shakes were fire. The restaurant was nice and clean and well put together.
Good chicken and sides...as expected. The wait in the drive-thru was shorter than expected too. Watch your six Chick-fil-A

Hmm... six would insinuate that we are behind them lol But we know what you were trying to get at! Thanks for the love Chad!
As we continue to try every restaurant in Salem, we veered off the traditional and tried a fast food joint since Dave's is new in town. First and most importantly, this restaurant is not for the health conscious person, between the deep fry and salt I'd give it a 0 out of 5. Three older people were near us and All of them dumped their lunches. I found it odd that they put an emphasis on tipping as they don't truly serve you in any way. As far as ambience goes, it's cute! Probably designed more for the teenage crowd. But ... read more

Enjoyed my first time at Dave's hot chicken! I heard a lot about this restaurant and wanted to check it out for myself. It did not disappoint- the chicken has lots of flavor and love the added slaw and crispy pickles. Staff was friendly!
Had a great first experience at Dave's hot chicken in Salem OR. Food was delicious and we received our food very quickly. Love the outdoor seating options. There was a slight error on our order and they were quick to replace the item and check in on us after.

Amazing food! I really enjoyed it a lot and would come back. I think the spice was the best
Never been here before... I am not a fan of KFC at all, won't eat it. I LOVE Popeyes chickens spice. I really enjoyed the chicken at Dave's hot chicken. I got the mild/medium heat. I would have gone spicier had I known the heat of the medium spice chicken. I like spicy but not burn the other end spicy... the fries and Dave's sauce was great! Loved the pickles! No kids menu!!
