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.

Good food, good service, I've been to the location in Tucson. Consistent all the way across the board. Glad to have one in the metro. Can't wait for the one in westport open. Try it out definitely worth the visit. Keep up the good work

We finally got to see what all the hype was about and tried Daves Hot Chicken. Thebinside was very nice, bright and clean.We both came away with "it was just ok" and nothing very special. I played it safe and ordered the Hot for me and no spice for the GF. The Hot was not hot, more like Popeyes spicey recipe but i like Popeyes much better. The fries were just regular krinkle cut and again nothing special. Overall it seemed a little expensive but we had to try it to know.

I was skeptical because I'm not a fan of spicy chicken sandwiches. BUT! That was the best chicken sandwich I've had in a while! They have a nice range of spicy, even no spice, but I did the lite mild...DELICIOUS!! And their fries and fresh pickles add to the flavor! I'll be going here very often!!!!

Line out the door still! So thinking should be good...experience overall was there. Line moved fast, staff friendly, but lil tired from the traffic coming in the door. Good concept, Nashville "style" for sure. But, if you don't like gristle...may not be for you. Fries, good. Slaw, bland, but think was made for having on sandwich. Not favorite, mixed reviews here, do not think I will come to crave.

Huge portions and great spices made for an above expected meal! We have been eyeing the long lines since this location recently opened. Long lines out the door, so it must be good. We tried at 5pm on a Friday night and had about 10 orders in front of us. The food came out very efficiently and fast, with many staff members working the front and back of house. Attention to detail was exceptional, being offered extra Dave's sauce (crack!!), and shown where the condiments are. We ordered a #1, #3 and a #4. The single sider #4 w... read more

My friend highly recommended me this place to try their fried chicken and I am glad I did. After trying it, now I get that why it's always a line extending outside the store. And Dave's hot chicken is equal to my other number 1 fried chicken place in KC metro. (I only eat fried chicken from that place before I tried Dave's since the fried chicken is a cheat meal for me, it has to be super good and worth it). They seems to have only chicken tenders as the chicken option. Food: Amazing seasoning and the technique to secure t... read more

After only one visit I am going to say it. Best fast food chicken you can get in the KC area! Holy cow, I mean chicken! First off, the size of the tenders! When it was a 2 piece tender meal I thought, better add one to be safe....that wasn't necessary. I tried the hot and was honestly happy it wasn't too hot. I'm not too adventurous on spice levels so if you like spicy I would say start at the hot level. The tenders were so juicy and crispy and the flavor was awesome! My wife got a slider and she absolutely loved it. It co... read more

We saw a crazy long line opening day so we came back, anticipating a long wait and boy was it worth it! I had hot and extra hot sliders and they were amazing - mouth watering flavor, good heat, moist, and very generous portions sizes (calling them "sliders" may be deceiving as they are full sandwiches). The kale slaw was also great on the slider and the sauce was an easy win. We had a large order with several adjustments and they nailed the order which is nice. The order was to-go, but we spent plenty of time inside and the ... read more
