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.

This is a fun place, high energy, excellent fry puns, and cool decor. With the hype of fried chicken in Utah, I always wonder what new places have to offer. This place adds a new vein to the chicken scene... heat. There are a few places that scratch the surface, but I've never seen one requiring a waiver to order the hottest reaper sauce. I ordered the number four, one slider and fries. I was disappointed that it doesn't come with a drink, if you're going to drop 10 bucks, they should at least throw in a small soda. I was ... read more

It was our first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and we were so impressed. The chicken sat in our car for 30 minutes and was still super juicy, crispy, and flavorful. The seasoning on the fries was really good too. We loved the sauce and wish we had ordered extra! We LOVED that we were able to choose the spice level on the chicken too. There's something here for everybody. Overall very good and highly recommended. Also the customer service was impeccable. Eli was a rockstar at the register and helped us feel welcomed.

Dave's Hot Chicken keeps it simple and does it right. We tried both sliders and tenders the med spice is less than anticipated but I am betting the heat will be packing with the hot on up. The decor is bright and urban; full of energy. The staff was friendly, helpful, kind, and they were killing it. The milkshake was good with more substance than other fast food eateries. Very few places around here are open late, but Dave's is, and they chose a location right across from another late open place.

Coming from California to Utah years ago and not having a Dave's Hot Chicken was rough. We were ecstatic when we found out they were opening Utah's first location in Orem! A super cool thing they do is if you sign up for their rewards program on the app, you get a free drink. The service was amazing, the staff were happy to be there and checked in on us and our experience. The restaurant was clean and well kept. There was even a DJ for opening day, and he was playing absolute bops. The food was just as good as I remember. Th... read more

I went to the grand opening at Dave's Hot Chicken in Orem! We ordered one medium spice slider, two mild spice sliders, fries, kale slaw and a drink for $27. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, the sides were made fresh and tasted great. I'd recommend adding honey and coleslaw to the sliders. Even at their grand opening the time from ordering to getting food was about 10 minutes. They were out of mac n cheese, but it's understandable with them being slammed. Highly recommend!

The soft opening night was so good, not so busy and absolutely amazing chicken.. Damn this place really lives up to the hype. Delicious juicy hot chicken with excellent flavor and such good dill pickles. I had the medium heat with a tender slider and fries and it was a ton of food. Staff was also very friendly, atmosphere was nice and I got my food quickly (to go order). Will definitely be back. 5/5

WOW! Thanks! Please do come back!
