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 my first time at this restaurant, and it just opened in Monrovia. I ordered the sliders. You can pick how hot you'd like it (they have a "no spice" option if you have little ones, or don't like spicy food). I like to try a few options when I try a place for the first time. You can order the spice level for each slider (it comes with 2). I ordered one medium with cheese, and one hot. I for the regular fries and a chocolate milkshake. The meals don't come with a drink. The milkshake is $3.99 for a small and tastes ju... read more

Not bad!! I've never been to Daves before but since they moved into the neighborhood I had to try them! Came on a weekday evening and it was busy. The hubby and I tried the sliders which were tender, juicy, and flavorful. Just fyi my husband tried the medium and said it wasn't spicy at all. I'm not a fan of spice so I tried the mild lite and it was nice. The fries, I would not recommend. They tasted like greasy frozen fries literally nothing special. My hubby tried the cheese fries and the cheese melted on top was like super... read more

This location just opened up down the street from my place and my husband and I placed an order today, their system was having difficulty and didn't want to process my payment. The manager took over our order and got us in and out of there with ease. We so appreciate this hardworking manager and his whole team. Thank you for being such a great place to dine and we will definitely be recommending them to everyone! Thanks so much! Love Mary & Byron

Finally a hot chicken sandwich worthy of being called "spicy". You pick the level of heat. I recommend mild or hot. My new favorite chicken sandwich.

7.7.2023 This is the new one right off the i-210 freeway, It's clean and convenient with ample parking . Decorated for the younger crowd and *VERY* noisy, inside and out door seating . Good, FAST service plus they come to the table to ensure you're happy . I had the two HOT tenders, they were very good *but* not well drained when removed from the fryer ~ completely covered in glistening fry oil, this is _NOT_ okay . The meat inside was firm and well cooked, not greasy at all, that's a plus . The fries were well cooke... read more

Went on opening day and thought I'd test their set up. I was daring and ordered through their app which can be dicey on an opening day. Dave's hit the target perfectly. Drive there, walked in, waited about 30 seconds and was handed my food. Got home and chowed down. Food was great. Can't wait to go back!

People like you are what keep us going. We appreciate the love and support. Hope to have you back soon!

Dave's Hot Chicken is the latest restaurant chain to hop on the chicken sandwich fad and establish itself in Monrovia Menu: The menu for this restaurant is very simplified and stripped down. The meal combo options pretty much come down to a combination of (1) Tender, (2) Sliders, and (3) Fries. This sets it apart from other fast casual chicken sandwich places as there is no full sized sandwich. The Slider + Fries combo is $9.99, which is fair. The portion size is lighter but nonetheless filling as this type of restaurant... read more

(+) Chicken Sliders (+) French fries Dave's hot chicken is a restaurant that specializes in fried chicken tenders and sliders. This franchise has been opening new stores all over the country, and I am glad they opened one in Monrovia. This location is a huge white building on Huntington that is hard to miss. I love the interior and patio seating. There are plenty of tables inside to fit everyone. My wife and I visited on their opening day. Food: I ordered the 1 slider and 1 tender combination. The tender comes with a ... read more
