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.

SERVICE: 3 FOOD QUALITY: 5 DRINK QUALITY: 4 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 4 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.42 I've been to Dave's Hot Chicken several times now, so I generally know what to expect when it comes to the food, but this visit didn't start on the best foot. I arrived just thirty minutes after they opened, and despite only a few customers in the restaurant, every table was dirty and the floor was littered with trash. It gave off a careless vibe that didn't match the energy of a freshly opened ... read more
While on a roadtrip we saw it and decided to give it a try. It was delicious! Fresh chicken, fresh seasoned fries. Employees were very nice. 10/10. Wish I lived closer.
Dave's Hot Chicken is a must-try spot if you're a fan of bold, fiery flavors, but be warned--their spice levels are not for the faint of heart! From "No Spice" to the infamous "Reaper," the heat builds fast and doesn't hold back. Even the mid-level options pack an intense punch that will leave you reaching for a drink. The chicken is always juicy, crispy, and flavorful, and their signature sliders and tenders are massive and satisfying. While the food is undeniably great, the drive-thru experience can be hit-or-miss. It ten... read more
While she was in town visiting, my mom brought home Dave's Hot Chicken. I was able to try the two piece chicken strip meal with fries and toast. Everything was delicious. The strips are huge and amounts to 3-4 regular sized strips. Two people who do not eat as much could probably share for lunch. Make sure to give it a try!
An Epistle Concerning Dave's Hot Chicken Wherein the food is holy, the price grievous, and the staff sorely afflicted Hearken unto me, O people of appetite and crispy cravings, for I bring tidings of fire and fowl.

My last visit to Dave's, when I discovered the company had discontinued their "Not Chicken" line, was so distressing that I started regularly searching "Dave's Not Chicken" online in the deranged hope that it might someday make a triumphant return. Well, my desperate search was not in vain. A few weeks ago I saw a post on Reddit that Dave's Not Chicken had returned, and was thrilled to see it back on the menu at this location. Today I was in Lake Mary so I stopped in for my beloved cauliflower slider and delicious fries. T... read more

Okay so, we definitely frequent the Altamonte location since we find ourselves over that way a bit more, but this location is great as well. My kids love their chicken! I usually opt for either the mild or medium heat levels, but my one child always gets the hot and he's a fan. Don't sleep on the mac and cheese!! Get extra pickles and Dave's sauce... It's so good.
