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.

First time coming here and it did not disappoint! The restaurant was clean and the service was really great too. We didn't have to wait long for our food at all and it was super fresh when it came out. It was a smaller chicken sandwich than other similar restaurants near by. I also wish they used a chicken breast on their sandwiches, and not just one tender, as there was extra bread. However, the flavor was really good. I had the medium heat and it was great. I think next time I would get hot because I wanted more spice. T... read more

Bro if you haven't been to Dave's Hot Chicken - you haven't lived. The choice of spice level makes your chicken absolutely customizable. Don't like spice? They've got chicken for you? Love spice? They've got chicken for you. Dave's has it all. The French fries are so perfectly crisp and seasoned. Whatever the sauce is with the fries is basically to die for. The employees are super knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant and the spice levels - I trust them to never lead me astray. The vibe here is busy because... read more

We love Dave's hot chicken! We come here all the time, especially when we have the late night munchies cause it's one of the only places that stays open later than 10. The employees are always really cool and we love the ambiance of the place with its cool graffiti all over the walls and the neon signs.

For years now the only worthy Nashville hot chicken place in Utah has been Pretty Bird. We finally have another place that does it right. I got a #3 spice level hot and was so happy to find that everything lived up to the hype. The chicken was crunchy and moist on the inside. Heat was perfect. Dave's sauce is really good. Great fries. Can't wait to go back. 

Business response:

I can't recommend this restaurant but I'm also not trying to discourage going here. The chicken seasoning is SO salty. It's too much. The fries are SO salty. Kids now days like those Taki's chips. You know the ones? I tried those once. "Salt city" was my initial reaction. To be clear, when you order a #1 you are going to get: -- two chicken tenders that a pretty big. They are covered in granular seasoning (at least). Lots and lots of seasoning. --- fries covered in granular seasoning. Lots and lots of seasoning. -- ... read more

This place is BUSY! That's a good thing though. I think it's a reflection of how good the food and service is. In the nicest way possible, I felt like I was inside of a laser tag arena once I got inside. The restaurant feels really clean and modern. With so many chicken restaurants around, I wasn't sure where this place would rank on my list. It's comparable to Houston Hot Chicken. If you like a dry rub chicken instead of a saucier one, this place is for you.

First off the chicken was moist and crispy i would give it a 9/10. The service was really good as well I had Noah help me out and he quickly pointed me to order number 3 , I was able to try the slider and tender. The store was also clean. Found Dave's threw the GOTYOU App.
