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.

Great service and awesome food!! And great environment and just great people all around.
We were in the mood for some hot chicken so we decided to give Dave's Hot Chicken in Overland Park. The prices are a little steep for chicken tenders and fries but we stayed anyway. Our chicken was fresh and seasoned well. We ordered the medium spice level -- it was spicy but not too much. The slider had a kale slaw that muted the spice. The tenders themselves are pretty big so I appreciated that for the price. Our fries were warm and soggy. I wish they would have been fresh. The store was messy and understocked. The soda ... read more

My oldest son and I tried medium hot chicken today and it was so good, we are still talking about it hours later. Great portion size for the price in this inflation tinged market. Excellent job, Chicken is juicier than anywhere else and the spice is incredible.
First time trying this restaurant. Walked in and it was very busy. At first was worried about finding a seat but we did. We ordered the two tenders with fries. I did not get any sauce. My husband had the mild. The chicken was very juicy and the coating was crunching and very tasty. The fries had a coating on them which brought them to life! We ordered and got our order very quickly. The restaurant was clean and colorful. We will definitely go back in the near future! Staff was very nice! Highly recommend Dave's Hot C... read more

Love hearing this, Ybil! Juicy chicken, crispy coating, and seasoned fries—sounds like you had a solid first visit. Glad the team took great care of you, and we’ll be ready for you next time. Appreciate the recommendation!
I guess I'm just spoiled. I really don't want to be negative here but to me Dave's just doesn't live up to the social media hype. It's overpriced and isn't even all that great. Is it good. Sure. Any place that marinates real pieces of chicken, seasons it well, hand breads it, and serves it freshly fried to order is going to be "good," but I guess I was expecting to be shocked or blown away, and this just wasn't that. In fact the chicken I had this visit was pretty dry, and the spice level was definitely hotter than the l... read more

If you’d like to share more or if there’s anything we can do to make it up to you, please reach out at dhcfeedback.com. Thanks again for giving us a try!
This is definitely one of my favorite chicken places! The portions are generous, the flavor and crunch is on point, the buns are soft, the fries are classic, the kale slaw is great. It would be nice to put in requests when ordering on the app as I would ask that the slaw be in the side (little bit of distance away and that would help keep the chicken crunchy). I'm also wondering if it's possible to get the fries unseasoned since they are heavily seasoned. I'll definitely see the next time I go. The restaurant is super cute a... read more
We ordered two of the #2 sliders to go. Always a pleasant experience at this location. Great food. Great service. If you haven't tried it, Dave's Hot Chicken is seriously the best hot chicken in town:
Business response:
Thanks for the great review, Nicole! We’re glad to hear you had a pleasant experience and that the sliders hit the spot. Hope you’ll come back soon to enjoy more of the best hot chicken in town!
Beware the hot is super hot! Mediuim has no spice and the hot was BA-WOWEE super hot - it was was mouth and lips hot burning for over an hour! They were kind enough to replace it with a medium at no extra charge.
Business response:
Thanks for sharing your experience! Our spice levels can definitely pack a punch, so we're glad the team could help swap it out for you. Hopefully, the medium hit the spot—let us know if there’s anything else we can do to make your visits even better!
First time trying Dave's and it was great. I paid 15 dollars for 2 sliders and fries which in my opinion is a very good deal. The food also came out quick. The Chicken was very juicy and flavorful. The fries were also very good. I would compare the sauce to Freddy's fry sauce but with more mayonnaise, overall fine sauce. Ambiance was good with good music playing and good wall decor.
