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 off the bat, the parking lot is not good, too small and shared by several business in the strip mall. But I know that's not the restaurants fault, just a consideration. I got the #4 which is a slider and fries. My favorite part was the fries; crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a good amount of seasoning. I also liked the dipping sauce which tasted like a sriracha mayo. I also like the last there are I think 5 spice levels, which is good because I initially thought all the chicken would be really spic... read more

I was excited to try out Dave's Hot Chicken since it landed in Minnetonka and I recently got around to stopping by for dinner. We've made it a mission to find some of the best fried chicken and chicken sandwiches around the TC metro. The first thing I noticed was the pretty small menu - there are only 4 options of sandwiches/tenders to choose from. That said, I felt the slider sizes were larger than a typical slider, but portion sizes of a meal aren't very big. The flavor fell a little flat for me - I appreciated that the c... read more

It's so vibrant and colorful! I did an online order because it was so busy and they had my food out in 10 minutes! The food was so delicious, so flavorful and definitely seasoned perfectly. I recommend the slider's!

Quick service. Excellent food. Clean restaurant. I honestly didn't know what to expect and have done no prior research on this restaurant but since we were in the area, we decided to stop by. I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious Dave's hot chicken was. Definitely returning.

Best chicken sandwich in a fast food style restaurant. I have had it delivered through Uber/Doordash and equally delicious when delivered.

I'm officially addicted after my 2nd dose! Seriously though, everything I've tried from the chicken to the fries the first time got me like It was very busy the first time so the manager who looked like he might have been "Hot Dave"was apologizing to waiting customers and offered me a shake which was very tasty and loaded with m&ms! Today I tried the mild and it hits with just a bit of a kick. The medium is a double kick up from mild but not too spicy. The secret has got to be the combination of spices they use. I crave no o... read more

First time trying Dave's this week. Thumbs up - my son and I each got the #2 slider combo and the chicken was super flavorful and tender. I went mild and medium - both really good, I might back it down a bit next time because I love the flavor of "hot" but it doesn't like me as much My son went with Hot and xtra hot - he likes heat, but he said his mouth was on fire with the xtra hot.

This place is still busy during lunch. Owing to how many people dig it. I got the Hot (not extra hot, not reaper). Three tenders. One was spot on. The other two seemed a bit hotter. These things happen. Taste was quite good and I've traveled to Nashville and Houston a few times so I'm comparing to some serious sites. Staff was super professional. Very polite and much better than 90% of restaurants out there. Hats off to these guys.
