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 ordered the number 2 - the 2 sliders extra hot with fries. It was pretty good and had a good amount of spice for extra hot. I'm a person who likes spicy and always feels like the spice levels aren't spicy enough but the extra hot had me looking for my drink a few times. My only complaint is that the meals don't come with a fountain drink. You would think that for a "fast food" meal that is almost $20 it would at least come with a fountain drink. There's plenty of parking and seating inside as well as patio seating.
Now I had heard some things about Dave's hot chicken, so I really wanted to go try it. I will say it is delicious and their spice levels are on point. I really love how themed the inside is the to USF area! The meal I got was good I two tender and fries and the hot seasoning and it was spicy good the hit the mark on heat. Also the Mac & cheese is seasoned it reminds me of a flavored stouffers Mac which I love stouffers so it was good in my book. I wish I was closer to try them again!
Finally made my way to Dave's Hot Chicken Tampa to satisfy my Nashville Hot Chicken cravings. The location, for starters, was convenient to get to with plenty of parking. The atmosphere was comfortable and would be an excellent place to grab a beer, enjoy some chicken and watch a game, if only they sold beer and had tvs. I would give the ambiance 5/5. I ordered the Reaper and this was definitely HOT and was pretty good. The tender itself was jumbo but I feel could have been a little bigger or cheaper at least for what I r... read more
Dave's serves chicken, fries, a kale slaw and some milkshakes. That's about it. Fortunately, the chicken and fries are very, very good. The chicken was served just out of the fryer on a brioche bun, a sandwich-sized "slider" with pickles and their mayo-like sauce. The fries are crinkle-cut, crispy and nicely seasoned. Their chicken comes in a variety of spiciness; we chose Hot, which had a good tongue torch with a nice afterburn. The setting is basic: tables and chairs. We sat in their side patio, catching a nice breeze and ... read more
The restaurant was good , it's my first time there The service was good basically you make your order and wait until they called you to pick your food The food was fine and crispy The price was fine There's an app for the restaurant as well don't forget to download it Atmosphere and ambience was great inside and outside
Y'all this is goooood! At first I was surprised by the price point but once I saw/tasted it - I got it! It's huge (basically a small chicken breast lol) and the recipe is amazing, texture is perfect. Staff are nice and there's seating inside or outside. Easily my new favorite fast casual chicken!!
Great food. Fun, chill decor and I love that they're open late. I visited after a recent concert at USF. Food came out fast. I loved the fries, picked, sauce and overall flavor. I did the sandwhich and fries, my friend got the tender, sandwhich and fries (she had a little bit of leftovers to take home). Service was helpful, I will definitely be back. The food is seasoned well WITHOUT being too salty which is a hard to find balance. I would try a hotter flavor next time, I chose medium to be safe.
First time in this place tonight and it definitely did not disappoint. I had the chicken slider and fries and tried the vanilla milkshake with Oreo top. For starters the slider is a legit sandwich it's HUGE! I was thinking it would be like a snack size. Nope! It was crispy on the outside and piping hot on the inside. I ordered the medium and my boyfriend had the hot. There's a pretty big jump from the medium to the hot so I was glad I stayed with medium. I also loved the kale slaw on it. Very unique! The fries were extrem... read more
Decided to drop in here for a fast-casual lunch after a visit to Mojo Books next door. I really liked the thick/crunchy breading and the heavy seasoning on the chicken, but the meat itself was just a little bit dry for my liking. Otherwise, service was fast and friendly and the food was definitely tasty! Would come back again if I had a hot chicken craving.
