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.

Was excited to try their hottest choice of chicken "Reaper" It was not that reaper level that I remember from local wing places. It was a lot milder. I blew my nose once and my lips were mildly burning. Dry rubbed chicken with Dave's sweet sauce was a good combination though. Then you bite into pickles to cool down.

Dave's rocks! The sliders and tenders are extraordinary, especially if you are looking for a kick-in fire! The crew is very friendly, they are very attentive and helpful with whatever you may need! The design is so fresh, and vivid and gives you a mix of L.A and Toronto which is perfect! This new location is without a doubt incredible and couldn't be more grateful to everyone at Dave's! Definitely recommend visiting.

This is the fourth location in Canada, all four in Toronto. The soft opening was 2023-05-11 and grand opening was 2023-05-12. All menu items are halal. The Tenders are served with white wonder bread, pickles, and fries. The fries are crinkle-cut and are crunchy. The Sliders are served with a brioche bun, kale slaw, and pickles. Surprisingly they also serve beer ($5.99-$7.99)! Currently they are still waiting for their liquor license. When choosing your meal, you can choose between 7 spice levels: no spice, lite mild, mil... read more

Ordered Daves #4 and #1today for takeout and they forgot the pickles and the fries for #4. The slider was so cold and it was as if they had it premade. I get that it was super busy because of Alpha shawarma opening but i have had Daves multiple times and this was so bad. How can i get a refund, i have my receipt.

This was my first time trying Dave's and I will not be coming back. We ordered the food for delivery and when it showed up.. it was cold, full of oil and looked like it went through a tornado. I could have handled it being cold because I could have warmed it up but the presentation and quality was unacceptable. How do you toss a receipt on someone's food? It was so oily and the cheese fries.... We're not cheese fries. We were charged a $1.19 for adding cheese to the fries and there was literally a speck of cheese on them.

Best fucking chicken I've ever had. They need to add refills on the truck sauce though

Ordered ahead with UberEats for pickup so I could avoid the long lineups... received notification that my order is ready at 5:47pm and I walked through the doors at 5:48pm. I see an order waiting for pickup and ready to go on their "pickup shelf" behind the counter, so I ask the employee behind the shelf if my order is ready -I show my order to him on the UberEats app and tell him my name -he does acknowledge me, looks at my phone but then walks away and takes someone else's order. "I guess that's not my order on the shelf"... read more

Delicious chicken tenders, nice spice options, but the bun they give with the sandwich is pathetic.. it's like a little McDonald's hamburger bun served with a kids meal.. I hope they improve the bun to have a better sandwich
